high just makesure youve got lots off sawdust as the oil from the drain plug and filter goes everywhere

Just under 7 litres with a new filter don't forget the container you're draining it into is usually just that little bit too small  :lol:
Stick a carrier bag around the old oil filter to catch it and the oil when you spin it off, it's a bit fiddly pulling it back up between the oil cooler pipes - usually easier to feed it down and out, nothing special other than that
