Oil change on a 35d
Has anyone changed the oil on their 35d?
I was planning on doing my one tonight, but there doesn't seem to be an inspection hatch on the floor pan. I don't fancy taking the floor pan off. I'm now looking at getting an oil extractor, but these cars don't have a dip stick. Any one any thoughts?

I may be wrong, I believe that the 35D is physically the same engine as the 30D (plus clever turbos etc).
If so there is a dip stick, it is hiding behind the air filter. There is a link somewhere within this forum with pictures. |

Yes, I think there is one on all of the diesels if you look carefully (my 20d has a dipstick behind the air filter as above)
