    Default Replaced my sump gasket - no sludge !

    I realise this is only a minor thing, but finally got around to replacing my sump gasket.

    Technically I was adding a sump gasket as previously there was only some red goo doing the job.

    More difficult than I had hoped - took a week all up - due to inaccessibility of a couple of bolts and my limited time .

    Was very pleased to see a pristine sump with no sludge at all - thank you Mobil 1.

    Also interesting to see how oil pump and engine oil level sensor work.

    What's more important - no leaks after job done !

    Guess who's a happy little vegemite ?
