Video tutorial

In this video tutorial, you will see how to change the engine oil and oil filter on a Dacia Sandero. Purchase engine oil (SAE 5w-40) and an oil filter.

Get into the vehicle, turn off the engine, and engage the handbrake; open the bonnet and secure it with the prop rod. Open the oil filler cap to allow the oil to drain more quickly when the time comes. Before draining the oil filter, it is advisable to add a cleaner to the engine to degrease it and remove any residues, thus reducing fuel consumption and emissions.

Leave the engine running for about 5 minutes, then add the product and keep the engine running for another 15 minutes without driving the vehicle. Lift the vehicle using a hydraulic jack and place it on axle stands; position a container under the vehicle to collect the oil and unscrew the oil drain plug; wait for all the oil to drain into the container.

Unscrew the oil filter and replace it with the new one. Refit the drain plug, tightening it sufficiently, lower the vehicle, and top up with new engine oil.

How to Reset the Tire Pressure Light on a MG ZS?

On the instrument cluster of the MG ZS, the tire pressure light that appears can be reset by inflating the tires to the correct pressure: this value will be indicated on the sticker attached to the driver's door pillar. Once the tires have been properly inflated, you can turn on the instrument cluster and navigate through the menu until you find the option that indicates tire pressure: if this screen shows the new values, the light will turn off; otherwise, you will need to drive for a few miles so that the sensors can read the new values and turn off the light afterward.
