[DML] Re: oil change

[Marc A Levy <malevy@xxxx>]

The leak is most likely the oil sender. You can purchase both the oil
sender, and filter (with new seal) from any of the De Lorean part
suppliers. The type of oil you use would depend partly on the climate
in your area, but 10W-30 should be fine for most cases.

You will also need the special tool for the oil drain plug. You can
also purchase this from a De Lorean part supplier. You can also get it
from a Snap-on truck, or make it yourself. Check you car before you
order the tool. The previous owner may have changed the plug to a
standard type.
