Video tutorial

In this video tutorial, we can see how to perform a service on a Chevrolet Trax: the first step is to lift the bonnet and secure it with the appropriate prop. Raise the vehicle with a hydraulic jack and place safety stands under the vehicle; now, you need a Torx T45 socket to unscrew the oil drain plug; position a container for the used oil under the oil sump; while waiting for all the oil to drain, replace the air filter by disconnecting the mass airflow sensor connector, unscrewing the two screws to remove the airbox; at this point, replace the old air filter with the new one. For the oil filter, you will need a 32mm socket; the filter is located behind the engine, so unscrew it with the socket and extension, continue unscrewing by hand, and then remove it from its housing.

Next, replace the old oil filter with the new one, ensuring to replace the seals as well. Screw the oil drain plug back in, lower the vehicle, and top up with new oil using a funnel.

How to Reset the Tire Pressure Light on a MG ZS?

On the instrument cluster of the MG ZS, the tire pressure light that appears can be reset by inflating the tires to the correct pressure: this value will be indicated on the sticker attached to the driver's door pillar. Once the tires have been properly inflated, you can turn on the instrument cluster and navigate through the menu until you find the option that indicates tire pressure: if this screen shows the new values, the light will turn off; otherwise, you will need to drive for a few miles so that the sensors can read the new values and turn off the light afterward.
