Default W12 Service

Any home mechanics or professionals able to give me a few pointers on doing a service on the D3 W12? Is there 1 sump plug or 2 and 1 or 2 oil filters?

Also how easy are the spark plugs to change?

Hopefully buying my own W12 on Wednesday, and would rather give it a good service myself for good piece of mind.

Just an FYI ..

Intake Manifold either needs to come off or be Split into 3 sections to do the Spark Plugs

Oh and with all the effort it takes to do id highly recommend you Buy Genuine Plugs, They are Bosch Plugs and From TPS are around £14 each X12

Other than that you have 1 oil filter and 1 Sump Plug

Thanks for that chaps!

Yes Del probably more info than I could ever need but some handy notes for retrofitting a few parts down the line. A good service will start me off though.

Cheers!
