How to change the engine oil of a Citroen C3?

Model: Citroen C3 SC - Years 2009-2016
Part: Engine oil

To change the motor oil of a Citroen C3, start by parking the car on a flat surface and make sure the engine is slightly warm to make the oil more fluid. Lift the vehicle with a jack and secure it with safety stands. Place a container under the oil pan to collect the old oil. Use the appropriate wrench to loosen the drain plug, which is located under the oil pan. Allow the old oil to completely drain. Once drained, securely tighten the drain plug. Next, fill the engine with the amount and type of oil specified in the car manual, being careful not to exceed the recommended amount. Start the engine for a few minutes and check for any leaks.
