stubzie83 Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 The sump plug is just a hex head nut. Not sure what the size is think it's about 12mm. You'll need a copper crush washer (I got some on ebay 3 for £2.99). The filter is quite small and there are quite a few available at different price points, I think the K&N ones are ok and they have a handy nut on the end so you can use a normal spanner to tighten and loosen them. The oil type is discussed quite often. I would think most brands with a viscosity of 5W-30 would be fine. I believe people on here have good results with fully synthetic oils. Opie oils web site has a recommended list of oils for the zed and they do a discount for forum members. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
