For info.

The socket for the oil filter is 27mm ! despite it saying 25mm on the casing !
Two trips to the motor factor rather than one.

I'm now left with the engine management light on, how come things are never straightforward

I've just changed the oil filter on my 207 and it says "25 NM" on the oil filter cover..........which is the torque wrench setting in Newton Metres and not the socket size.

HI....easy this car maintenance lark isnt it...If you could explain more perhaps we could help?

Thanks Mattalsop, I read it as MM. not NM.
I'll bear that in mind.

Thanks Noddy-hol

I've topped up the oil, having checked it on a flat surface, and alls well
