2. TOOLS: oil filter wrench and a wrench for the drain plug. 3. Items: oil/oil filter/ oil filter wrench/drain plug wrench/drip pan 4. Drain oil at oil pan drain plug-with wrench. Note: place drip pan underneath 5. Remove oil filter- with oil filter wrench. 6. Add oil filter- hand tight(2 hands!) Note: with old oil - coat round gasket on oil filter 7. Tighten oil pan drain plug- with wrench 8. Add oil - 85 percent what you think the engine holds. 9. Start engine for 5 seconds, turn off engine - this is to get the oil in the new empty oil filter 10. Check oil - add to level |

Re: oil change
While those instructions certainly are correct, a Mondial T can be considerably more intimidating than a regular car. Sometimes it's hard to tell the difference between the rear axle/transmission drain and the engine oil. If you look at www.ferrarichat.com, I know there are good instructions how to do this for the beginner.

Re: oil change
I recommend a repair/maintenance manual. Cost between $15 to 60 bucks. They got step by step instructions with pictures. Some good manuals are made by Haynes or Clifton. The engine should not be running when checking the oil.

Re: oil change
Hre is a link for you that I got by searching for "oil change" :
http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/sho...ght=oil+change It's for a 348 but the same engine as the T. Other good info too!! Oil level is usually checked hot, engine off for just a minute or two.
