In this video tutorial, you will learn how to replace the engine oil and oil filter on a Citroen C3. First, open the bonnet and remove the engine cover: open the oil cap to allow the oil to drain more quickly. Lift the vehicle and remove the plastic undertray using a screwdriver.

At this point, you can unscrew the oil drain plug using a socket and a 21 mm socket wrench. Allow the oil to drain completely and then refit the drain plug.

To remove the filter, detach the intake hose and remove it with a socket wrench. Replace with the new filter and pour in the new oil!
