Changing the oil on a Dacia Lodgy 1.6 with a K7M engine requires 5W30 oil (specification A3/B4) and a Filtron 643/3 filter (available on eBay with code 178269557971 for £10.99 + £4.00 shipping). Warm the engine to 50-60°C. The filter is located under the dashboard, near the pedal.

Use a socket wrench for filters to unscrew it. Replace the drain plug (square 8 mm) with a new one. Refill with 3.3 litres of oil. The filter should be tightened by hand (without a ratchet). Start the engine and check for any leaks.

Check the level with the dipstick: it should be halfway between the marks. To reset the light, insert the key and turn it to position 1-2. Within 10 seconds, press the accelerator fully, hold it down, and press the brake three times.

Release both. The light will turn off.

Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat.
