Once you have raised the vehicle on the lift, unscrew the drain plug of the oil sump to allow the old oil to drain out, which should be collected in a suitable container and disposed of properly. Then access the engine bay and unscrew the cap of the oil filter container located beside the battery, behind the engine management unit; remove the old cartridge and fit the new one, replacing the o-ring seals that are always included in the filter kit. Then tighten the filter cap and fill the engine with new oil (SAE 5W30) until reaching the maximum level.
