Necessary equipment for the service of a Ford Transit 2.4 TDCi

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Checks and maintenance

Video tutorial

In this video, we will not see how to perform an intermediate service on a Ford Transit Custom, but we will only organize ourselves to gather the necessary materials. We will need a pair of gloves, a 13mm wrench to unscrew the drain plug, a flathead screwdriver to turn the O-ring, a large basin that can hold at least six liters of used oil (which we will then dispose of properly at an authorized center), and then five and a half liters of oil recommended by the manufacturer.

We recommend purchasing quality oil; it is not wise to save on something important like this. The opened container can be kept for any top-ups; it will be good for a year and a half to two years.

If you bought 10 bottles like the YouTuber did, as long as it is sealed and kept in a dry place away from sunlight, it will last comfortably for 5 or 6 years.
