My car is coming up for an interim service. I'm thinking about having a go at this myself but I could use a few tips, particularly regarding removal of the oil filter and draining the coolant, as I couldn't find much in the Workshop Manual.
Looking at the oil filter. Is this best removed from above or below?
To drain the coolant I usually take the bottom hose off but, on the Maserati, this appears to be about half way up the radiator so surely isn't going to drain everything out(?)
I'd be interested in hearing what you guys consider to be best DIY practice as I'm interested in doing some of the basics myself.
And, while I'm here, where is a good spot to put axle stands when I jack the front of the car? I haven't had a chance to have look at this yet so just thought I'd ask.
