ALFA Romeo Spider oil change
Well it was high time I changed the engine oil and filter in my 1986 ALFA Romeo Spider Graduate so this morning I set about the task.
Really it is relatively simple, with all the bits within easy reach and access. Amazing the little 1962cc 4 cylinder engine takes 7.1 quarts of oil! The oil filter is very large as well, as you will see in the photos below which compare it to the filter my Moto Guzzis take, which are the same size as a normal car filter.
Below you will see the airbox, which contains the air filter and atop which sits the air flow metering device, which senses and controls the volume of air entering the engine. The airbox is removed (3 bolts) to gain easier access to the oil filter.
So now she's all filled with fresh clean 20w50 weight oil and a new filter. Happy Spider :)

Turkey Rod Run
A couple weeks ago I went to a HUGE car show at the Daytona International Speedway called the Turkey Rod Run.
