  • Hey, thank you so much! I just bought a 2007 GT 60th Anniversary Limited Diamond Edition as my retirement gift to myself and this will be so helpful! Great job and well explained. Much appreciated! JCGJR, Bronx, NY

    John, that's one clean GT. Even the engine bay and filter canister was clean looking too. Thanks for sharing and your video reminded me exactly why I hate doing my own oil changes. Not only do I make a mess of things I than have to dispose of the old oil. It ends up being a half-day job from start to finish. Ugh!
  • @DonFather
    The voices going through your head as you complain to Bentley are very worrying, but very entertaining. Love it.
  • @fastestride2990
    Loved the humor. This is literally everyone doing an oil change when they tackle it for the first time on a new to them car.

    Really enjoyed this. I will do my first oil change in a week or so, and will do it exactly as you have, with one Michelin Jack and one Jack stand. Thanks for taking the time to make a very informative video.
  • @manray6396
    Good video. This is like the regular guy's guide to Bentley!!
  • @shekharpatel
    You have a Bentley, and all the tools including a gazillion mm socket for the oil filter housing. How about next time you are at a Walmart $3 on a funnel to pour oil in the engine.
  • Great video, thanks for making it look easy. I was just looking at used Bentleys and this helps . Thanks bro

    I just bought a 2012 Continental GTC Thanks for showing the oil change

    I'M REALLY NOT LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS..... I did the oil and filter change today. You mentioned that the underplate would be a pain to put back, my goodness you were right. The oil and filter swaps took 15 minutes EEASYY! The underplate took only 10 minutes to remove, not as bad as I expected from your video.....BUT putting the plate back took me 2 hours, what a pain the ars#. It really annoys me that car manufacturers go out of their way to make a simple a simple fluid change so, so difficult. That said the satisfaction I now have is priceless having done the job successfully "only" paying £90 for Mobil 1 0/40 Oil and £30 for Bentley oil filter and sump plug, £120 / $95US job done, saved £300 heeee heeeee!!!! good video BTW Thunbs Up

    I used wheel ramps from Walmart for my Bentley oil changes way easier.
  • @Brian.Martin
    What not to do on a Sunday night... learn how to change oil on a Bentley when you don't own one 🤣
  • @oseguera59
    Thank you for the content. Live what you do and you make things look and be Easier then we all think much respect 🙏🏻
  • @mikes717
    Still easier than the old 1.8 Turbo Audi's where the cartridge filter is next to the control arm/subframe .
  • @craigkeyes5274
    Really good video. I was surprised that you didn't use a funnel for the oil fill. That could have been messy!
  • @7volcast
    Hey friend! Thanks for the wonderful video. Quick tip, when pouring oil pour it on its side for better air flow! Have a great day
  • @sideskraft
    Because of the angle of the jacked car (high on the left side), it's likely that you still have some (up to 3 liters) of old oil remaining in the oil pan. Next time do what you did (drain old oil), slide away the drain pan full of oil, replace the drain bolt, slide in a low profile pan, remove the drain bolt, and lower the jack as much as possible to allow the remaining oil in the engine oil pan to drain out. Doing oil changes on low ground clearance vehicles isn't the most fun. Doing oil changes on my V10 F250 actually is fun.

    Anyone who's willing to do their own service on their car, gets a like from me🤙

    The subtle humor got me in stitches. Not for everyone.
