I find taking the counter weight off helps with swapping the oil filter and I use a lenght of top hat rather than card board like in the video.

I pulled the counter weight off when I did mine.
Has anyone figured out how to speed one up?
I hired a 3.5t the other day and it was a lot quicker with the slew.

I never have any trouble changing the filter. And I have sausage fingers! If you have to, just hammer a screwdriver through to get it started unscrewing.

I upped the rev stop on mine, you don't have to use it full chat all the time but it's handy for hard work. Also, on mine, if you press the aux pedal whilst slewing it goes round like a helicopter

I'll try that
