How to replace the engine oil of the Citroen C3.

Model: Citroen C3 Pluriel - Years 2003-2010
Part: Engine oil

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.
