A station forward job south easy access to filter and sump plug once the engine under cover is removed.
I should have checked the dipstick level before I drained the oil as the car is on quite a slope on the ramps. Then I could refill to the same level.
I bought a gadget a while ago to reset the service reminder …… at moment not sure if that worked till I get back on the road.
