Video tutorial

In this video, you will learn how to change the engine oil and filter on a Citroen C3: the engine should be moderately warm, raise the vehicle at the front and position a container to collect the used oil under the sump: you will then dispose of this oil properly at an authorised disposal centre.

While the sump is draining, remove the filter: you will need to remove the air ducts to access the filter using a 27 mm socket.

Extract the filter from the housing into a container, as you will also lose oil here. Clean the housing and replace the o-ring, which you will have lubricated with clean oil. Reposition the filter in the housing and put it back in place, reassembling the air ducts.

Go under the vehicle and close the drain plug, which must always be replaced along with its gasket; lower the vehicle and refill the engine oil from above. You will need a total of 3.75 litres, but start by pouring in only 3 litres, then check the dipstick and make the necessary adjustments.

Refit the plug and run the engine for a few minutes. Check the level again.

Task completed.

How to Remove the Rear Seat of a Hyundai Tucson?

To remove the rear seat of a Hyundai Tucson, follow these steps. Start by moving the front seats to their most forward position to gain space. Next, locate the release lever on the underside of the rear seat, near the floor. Press this lever down while pulling the seat upwards to unlock it from the anchor pins. Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat. Be careful of any electrical cables or components that may be connected to the seat during removal. Once the rear seat is removed, the disassembly is complete.
