Default Idiot Question
Hi All, quite a silly question really but i came to service my bugeye today and found a big guard under the car. Does it all have to be removed to get to the sump plug? thanks

great thanks mate. If i drive onto ramps will the cars angle mean not all the oil come out? or if warmed sufficiently the oil will be thin enough to come out whatever angle?

My classic has the gaurd, but there is a bit cut out (as standard) so you can get a socket in to loosen it.

Do you mean by pouring oil into the filter first?
