To replace the engine oil and filter in a first-generation Citroen C3, park the vehicle on a flat surface and safely lift it using appropriate axle stands. With the engine off, remove any lower protection and place a container under the oil sump.

Unscrew the drain plug and wait for the lubricant to completely drain. Next, remove the oil filter and install the new one, replacing the relevant seals.

After remounting the drain plug with the correct seal, pour in the new oil, adhering to the quantity and specifications set by the manufacturer. Finally, briefly start the engine, check for any leaks, and verify the level using the dipstick.
