This could help you save money.
A car that costs a lot to buy often means it is also expensive to maintain. Many personal financial managers are haunted by nightmare stories about expensive repair and maintenance costs. You don’t have to remortgage your house in order to rotate expensive cars. You can save a lot of money with the right tools and knowledge. Videobob Moseley saved a lot of money by changing the oil in his 2004 Rolls Royce Phantom.
Videobob has a distinct advantage: he can access a vehicle lift. This is necessary to change oil, as you must first remove the underbody panel in order to access the oil filter. It is quite lightweight and the oil changing process is easy once it’s gone.
To relieve vacuum pressure on the engine, first remove the oil cap. Next drain the oil. However, be careful not to accidentally drain the transmission fluid. Next, remove the oil filter. It is located in a plastic case just behind the drain plug on the Rolls-Royce. It’s easy to crack, and it’s made of plastic. To make it easier to remove the filter, the enclosure includes a drain plug.
The filter also fits the 2004 BMW760Li and costs about $5. Reverse the process to complete the oil change. Install the filter and enclosure again, tighten the drain plug and top off the engine oil. Videobob used just eight quarts Mobil 1 5W-30 synthetic oil. This oil is easily available almost everywhere. You can then reinstall your underbody panel. This is much easier if you have two people.
It is much easier to change the oil in a Phantom than other supercars. There aren’t many underbody panels or difficult locations to access the car’s underside. With access to a lift, it’s easy to do an oil change. It could also save owners several hundred dollars.
