On the Citroen C3, the engine oil should be changed every year of use or every 18,640 miles: in other words, upon reaching the first of these two parameters. This is the simplest and most common routine maintenance task: simply drain the used oil from the designated hole (see video) and collect it in a suitable container.

It is recommended to also replace the oil filter during this work, which can be easily unscrewed from its housing and replaced with a new one. For this car model, it is advisable to use 0W-30 or 5W-40 oil, filling it through the hole marked with the engine oil symbol on the cap.
