You’d think they would have moved the oil filter to a more convenient location. Is there a dipstick tube for an extraction pump? Someone at one of the events said we would be able to do a topside oil change like the LR4.
Diesel has a dipstick , not the petrol version.
I say petrol , because, even if etymology isn't a personal deviance , it's always interesting

The term
gasoline originated from the trademark terms
Cazeline and
Gazeline, which were stylized spellings and pronunciations of
Cassell, the surname of British businessman
John Cassell, who, on 27 November 1862, placed the following fuel-oil advertisement in
The Times of London:
The Patent Cazeline Oil, safe, economical, and brilliant [...] possesses all the requisites which have so long been desired as a means of powerful artificial light.
That 19th-century advert is the earliest occurrence of Cassell's
trademark word,
Cazelline, to identify automobile fuel. In the course of business, he learned that the Dublin shopkeeper Samuel Boyd was selling a counterfeit version of the fuel
cazeline, and, in writing, Cassell asked Boyd to cease and desist selling fuel using his trademark. Boyd did not reply, and Cassell changed the spelling of the trademark name of his fuel
cazelline by changing the initial letter
C to the letter
G, thus coining the word
gazeline. By 1863, North American English usage had re-spelled the word
gazeline into the word
gasolene, by 1864, the
gasoline spelling was the common usage. In place of the word
gasoline, most
Commonwealth countries (except Canada), use the term "petrol", and North Americans more often use "gas" in common parlance, hence the prevalence of the usage
"gas bar" or "gas station" in Canada and the United States.
Coined from
Medieval Latin, the word
petroleum (L.
petra, rock +
oleum, oil) initially denoted types of
mineral oil derived from rocks and stones. In Britain,
Petrol was a refined mineral oil product marketed as a
solvent from the 1870s by the British wholesaler
Carless Refining and Marketing Ltd. When
Petrol found a later use as a motor fuel,
Frederick Simms, an associate of
Gottlieb Daimler, suggested to John Leonard, owner of Carless, that they trademark the word and uppercase spelling
Petrol. The trademark application was refused because
petrol had already become an established general term for motor fuel. Due to the firm's age, Carless retained the legal rights to the term and to the uppercase spelling of "Petrol" as the name of a petrochemical product."
