Pics: My 64 year old HM Ambassador gets an oil change service

The major task was to change the fluids, greasing and some minor repairs.

Servicing the 64 years old Ambassador!

Its 4 years since the Ambassador came home. The Ambassador has been a great runner all through its life as it was never hibernated and now it was time for some maintenance activities. Repairing classic cars means we would need our exclusive time, money along with mechanic's and spare's availability.

The major task was to change the fluids, greasing and some minor repairs. I checked the Team Bhp threads and consulted Bhpian anjan_c2007 for the fluids specification and bought the required Oils along with Oil filter and some minor spares. Drove the Ambassador to our trusted Mani's garage. The work started off quickly.
