To replace the engine oil and filter on a Citroen C3, park the vehicle on a stable surface and lift it to access the underside of the engine. Position a container under the oil sump, unscrew the filler cap in the engine bay, and then the drain plug located under the sump.

Allow the used oil to drain completely, then reinstall the drain plug, checking the condition of the seal. Locate the oil filter, unscrew it with the appropriate tool, and remove it from its seat.

Lubricate the seal of the new filter with a small amount of clean oil and screw it on until it is properly tightened. Pour the new engine oil through the filler neck, check the level with the dipstick, and adjust if necessary.

Start the engine for a moment and check for leaks around the filter and drain plug.
