How to Replace the Oil Filter on the Citroen C3?

Model: Citroen C3 FC, FN - Years 2002-2009
Part: Oil filter

In this tutorial, you will see how to replace the oil filter on the Citroen C3, a very simple operation to perform alongside the oil change itself. First, ensure that the engine is completely cold, then open the upper filler cap, remove the dipstick, and unscrew the filter housing with a 27mm socket. Once done, go underneath the vehicle, locate the drain plug bolt, and unscrew it to let all the oil out of the engine. Finally, tighten the bolt, insert the replacement filter with a new gasket, and add new oil through the upper hole.
