How to Replace the Oil Filter on a Citroen C4

Model: Citroen C4 MK 1 - Years 2004-2010
Part: Oil filter

Open and lift the bonnet. After locating the position of the oil filter, you can proceed to unscrew the top cap using a 27 mm socket. Since the area is slightly difficult to access, you will need to use a tool with a long enough handle. After removing the cap, the filter will come out with it, so clean the filter housing. Now, you need to remove the lower engine panel to access the sump plug, which will allow you to drain all the used oil. Finally, install the new filter and add new oil to the reservoir.
