How do you change the oil and oil filter in the Citroen C3 Aircross?

Model: Citroen C3 Aircross MK 1 - Years 2017-2024
Part: Oil pan

To change the oil and also the oil filter in our Citroen C3 Aircross, the steps are very simple and similar to those of many other cars. First, we lift the car on ramps so that we can access the underside of the car. Once we have done this, we locate the oil pan and unscrew the cap to let the old oil drain out. We use a basin to catch it as it comes out. To help the oil drain out, we open the hood and open the oil cap near the engine. Once we have done this, we move on to the filter, which in this vehicle is located under the engine group on the right. It may be a bit difficult to access, but with the right tools, as shown in the video, removing it will not be a problem. Once removed, we can replace the filter with a new one, making sure to clean its housing from any excess old oil. After changing the filter, we go back under the car and, as always, we clean the thread where the oil pan cap is screwed in and the surrounding area, close it with a new cap if possible, and the job is done! Now we can add new oil to our car.
