Fit a remote oil filter. Oil changes are pretty easy then. One of the best modifications you can make on a MX5.

I also love my filter relocation. It’s a valid point about the extra failure points but by the nature of being a modified car, I spend a lot of time under the bonnet checking things and have included all the oil lines as part of my checks. I’d expect others who have similar cars/see track use, to do something similar.

For forum users I can give a code that will give at least 10% discount if you want to try the Takumi oils.

The data used here was from the last session of the day. The car had already done 4 sessions on the National and 2 on the Clubman, so it had a 'touch' of heat soak...
