   My furio lost all the water a couple of weeks ago, due to a burst lower rad pipe, the engine overheated badly as I had to drive it off the parkway (no hardshoulder) about 2 miles.
   Should I do an oil and filter change now as a matter of course? the head and head gasket are all ok.

   for the sake of £30 (if you do it yourself) i would.
   
   if its been heated up alot, it won't be doing its job anymore, as it loses it 'oily' properties.
