Replacement of the engine oil and oil filter of the Citroen C3.

Model: Citroen C3 FC, FN - Years 2002-2009
Part: Engine oil

Performing the scheduled maintenance is really very simple; let's see how to replace the engine oil and oil filter of the Citroen C3. First of all, lift the car and start unscrewing the oil drain plug that we find on the sump, letting it drain into a container for about ten minutes; then unscrew the oil filter cartridge by accessing it from the engine compartment, using a socket wrench with extension, as shown in the video. At this point, also replace the air filter and finally pour the new engine oil, topping up the right amount!
