How to Replace the Oil Filter on a Chevrolet Captiva?

Model: Chevrolet Captiva MK 1 - Years 2006-2018
Part: Oil filter

Replacing the oil filter on a Chevrolet Captiva is an extremely simple and quick task. First, remove the upper filler cap to release the pressure in the system. Next, go underneath the vehicle and unscrew the drain plug using a 16 mm socket. Once all the oil has drained, move to the top of the engine and unscrew the filter housing with a 32 mm spanner. Finally, replace the filter and its gasket, and top up with synthetic oil.
