The engine oil replacement must be performed when the oil warning light activates on the instrument panel display along with the maintenance light. The oil reservoir on a Citroen C3 vehicle is located at the bottom of the vehicle.

To perform the oil change, we need to lift the vehicle on a jack and unscrew the oil pan nut, allowing the oil inside the reservoir to drain into a container. Once finished, we close the oil pan nut and lower the vehicle to the ground.

We then proceed with replacing the oil filter and refilling the reservoir.
