R26.R Quick and potentially stupid question

  1. My R26 has done less than 2000 miles since its last oil change. I want to remove the oil filter to fit a sandwich plate for oil temp and pressure sensors.

    I know there will be a bit of oil in the filter, but the majority should be in the sump, so I should be able to remove the filter without draining the oil - is this right?!
     
  2. Yes...you will get some spillage from the filter but the rest will be in the sump.
     
  3. Nice one. Probably lost 200ml from the filter. And 2cm of skin from my knuckles trying to tighten the sandwich plate!
