In this video tutorial, you can see how to perform a full service on a BMW 1 Series. First, purchase new filters (oil and fuel) and enough engine oil. Raise your car and secure it. The first step is to remove the engine cover.

Using a 17 mm socket, unscrew the oil filler cap; let all the oil drain into a container. Meanwhile, change the oil filter; you will need a 32 mm socket, so remove the old one and install the new one. Now replace the washer on the oil filler cap, screw the cap back on, and add the engine oil. At this point, you can replace the cabin filter, so remove all the screws holding it, then take off the plastic cover to access the filter.

Finally, remove the fuel filter and replace it.

How to Reset the Tyre Pressure Warning Light on a Kia Rio?

The tyre pressure warning light displayed on the instrument cluster of the Kia Rio can be reset by inflating the tyres until they reach the recommended pressure value: this value is indicated on the sticker affixed to the driver's door pillar. Once all tyres have been inflated to the recommended pressure, turn on the ignition to check that the light has disappeared: if it is still present, it may be necessary to drive for a few miles, allowing the sensors to work and thus turning off the light.
