Place the car on a ramp or lift it using a jack at the front. Locate the drain plug for the engine oil and unscrew the bolt that seals it. Position a container underneath and allow the oil to drain into it. Once finished, re-tighten the bolt. Locate the oil filter and remove it to replace it with a new filter. Finally, open the bonnet of the engine bay, locate the oil filler cap, and add the new oil. Check the oil level using the dipstick.
