Oil Change on Citroen C3

Model: Citroen C3 FC, FN - Years 2002-2009
Part: Engine oil

Perform the oil change at the mileage specified by the manufacturer. Lift the engine compartment release lever located at the bottom left of the dashboard and raise the front bonnet, securing it in place. Using a socket spanner, unscrew the large securing bolt of the container cap where the oil filter is located. Remove the air filter kit to access the filter and extract the worn oil filter, then position a new one. Raise the car on a jack and unscrew the bolt from the oil sump; allow the fluid to drain into a container. Fill the engine with new oil.
