Xantia Oil Change
Hello. Just done my first oil change on my Xantia HDi. Is there any way of removing the filter without spilling oil down the engine front? My previous cars(non citroen) have all been horizontal(so not as messy), where as the Xantia one points down over. Just asking so i know for next time.

I can manage it without getting much beyond a dribble down the block, the trick is to be very quick in getting the filter veritcal once you've got it unscrewed. Then all you have to do is manouvre it around various cables and pipes, without dropping it or pouring its contents on the floor. If you get it out without smothering various cables / pipes with oil you get extra points.
In any case, I leave newspaper underneath the car to catch the inevitable spillage.
