If the display shows the message: "CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON", it means it's time to change the engine oil and filter. The tools needed for this job are: protective gloves, a 15 mm socket wrench, an oil filter removal tool, and two pieces of wood or wedges to block the rear wheels.

Lift the vehicle using a ramp or jack and position safety jack stands. To remove the oil drain plug, go under the vehicle from the passenger side, then place a container under the oil pan and use the 15 mm socket wrench to unscrew the drain plug, waiting for all the oil to drain into the container; once the oil is completely drained, reposition the drain plug with a new gasket; next, use the filter wrench to unscrew the old oil filter from its seat (place a container underneath to catch the old filter).

Clean the seat with a rag and then lubricate the o-ring of the new oil filter with clean oil before screwing it into place. Once screwed in (tighten well by hand or with the appropriate wrench), lower the vehicle and refill with new oil (SAE 5W-30), check the oil level with the dipstick, and add more oil if necessary.

Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat. Be careful of any electrical cables or components that may be connected to the seat during removal. Once the rear seat is removed, the disassembly is complete.
