I am assuming that I will need to dump all my oil to do this job and then replace it with a fresh clean batch?Sound about right?

Not really a basic maintenance task Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/79750-wa-xr6t-diy-maintenance/page/8/#findComment-1359194 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also silicone for the rubbers? Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/79750-wa-xr6t-diy-maintenance/page/8/#findComment-1359348 Share on other sites More sharing options...
