Engine Oil and Oil Filter Replacement

Model: BMW Serie 3 E92, E90, E91 - Years 2005-2013
Part: Engine oil

Open the hood and ensure it is securely supported. Unscrew the oil filler cap and, using a socket wrench, unscrew the cap of the oil filter container (cartridge filter): remove the old filter and insert the new one, also replacing the o-ring on the cap. Next, open the lower cover protecting the drain plug of the oil pan, and after placing a suitable container under the pan, unscrew the plug and complete the draining of the used oil; once finished, screw the plug back in and close the cover. Finally, fill the engine with new oil according to the SAE specifications and the quantities indicated in the owner's manual. Complete the service by checking (and topping off if necessary) the power steering fluid, coolant, and windshield washer fluid levels.

How to Install Universal Roof Bars on a Renault Clio

Install universal roof bars on a Renault Clio. Universal roof bars are used on cars with roof rails (fixed bar secured to the roof of the car) and without. Fit the bar kit (as shown in the video) with the bars adjusted according to the width of the car. Position the brackets at both ends of the doors on the car's original roof rails. Once you have adjusted the width of the anchoring brackets (measure with a tape measure), tighten the bolts with the butterfly nut (if a lock is present) until fully secured to the roof rails. Finally, fit the safety caps on both sides.
