Lift the car using a lift or, if you don't have one, with one or two jacks. Remove the lower stone guard as shown in the video, extracting the two clips on one side (using a wedge) and unscrewing the three screws on the other.

Once the guard is removed, you will see the oil box: the bolt that acts as a cap for the drain hole is a Torx T60: unscrew it and be ready to collect the used oil in a suitable container, which will obviously drip out, albeit slowly. This is because, in addition to the bolt, there is a small plastic fitting that you will need to remove with a flat screwdriver.

At this point, the oil will come out with force. Through that fitting that you will reinsert, insert a tube and load 6-7 litres of new lubricant.

It is recommended that, after removing the plastic fitting, you also remove the O-ring and replace it, as shown in the video.
