Good to see your having a crack mate. 1. Don’t rest your oil cap thread down, it’ll drip oil on your motor, thread up. 2. Get a permanent marker and write date and kms on all filters so you know when they were done. 3. Google is a great asset
Tips- Do the oil filter from the wheel arch, make sure its bottoms out on the block. Hold the oil bottle sideways so it does 'glob' everywhere when filling engine. You must clean the maf sensor every service. Put a 600ml bottle on the oil filter drip tray hose when taking off oil filter. Putting oil on the oring is purely so it doesn't catch and tear on a dry surface, nothing to do with seizing later on. Do not prefil fuel filters, could cost you thousands. Use a magnet stick to get the drain plug out if it goes in the oil. Change the sump plug washer every service And check wheel bearings and general vehicle condition. I rotate my tyres during a service as well.
Yes I got done with exactly the same fuel filter. A lot of parts places recommend the wrong filter even when you type in your VIN. I had fun when I changed mine using my finger as a valve because the fuel drained from the engine bay back into the tank. Bleeding the lines can be a pain sometimes.
Nice video! Yeah unfortunately looks like you got the kit for a ZD30 DI. The Common Rail ZD30 uses that single unit fuel filter so you gotto replace whole unit as a filter change.
There is a small plastic spigot that sits on bottom of oil filter an filter housing that centres the filter an provides a seal, so oil doesnt bypass the filter. It either gets stuck in housing(good) or gets stuck in filter an thrown out(bad). Wheres yours?
Quick question - you mentioned the oil was hot when you had to fish out the cap… why is that ? Was it just because you had the car running recently ? Thanks !
@@joemurrayau Good video mate. There are 2 ZD30 engines a Direct Injection (non common rail) earlier version pre 2006 I think, and the CRD (common rail). Like you found out I think it's only a different fuel filter.

how can pre fulling fuel filters casue issues?
Because that fuel goes straight into fuel system with no filtration, so if the fuel is even slightly contaminated you could be in trouble
wish I had YT back in my days of learning how to service cars. how good is doing stuff yourself. 🍻🍻

I know nothing about cars but I loved this

I takes time to master working on the patrol.
Don't trust the Auto shops all the time for parts. Maybe get a hold of a Workshop manual for the Patrol from the Auto shop.
Hey man I’ll get the fuel filter off ya if you still got it. I got a 04 DI that is due for a fuel filter 🤘🏽
Quick question - you mentioned the oil was hot when you had to fish out the cap… why is that ? Was it just because you had the car running recently ? Thanks !
Yeah I had the car running about an hour beforehand so the oil was still cooling down from the engines running temps.
it is best to have your car running just before service because when oil is hot will drain better
NO do not pre fill the oil filter. You can introduce contamination into the engine.
Patrol are so easy to work on solid axle old design the zd 30 Thoe is cluttered as shit Thoe shah own one myself
You brought wrong kit from ryco you got the early model kit you need to get the later model and it is RSK30 kit
Ahhh! That makes more sense. Said it would fit this car on the website though which is weird

Yep I only use genuine oil filter, and fuel filter.
Go the Patrol great video ! 📹🛻🤙😎
