Before changing the oil, position the vehicle on supports that allow easy access underneath at the front, secure it well by pulling the handbrake, and keep the engine running for at least five minutes. Then place a container under the oil sump and unscrew the bolt to drain the old oil. Lubricate the gasket of the new oil filter and position it in place, tightening it by hand, preferably without using tools, and then re-screw the sump bolt.

Finally, top up the oil to the maximum level, let it sit for a couple of hours, and check the level again. The model of the vehicle used as an example is a Fiat Punto 1.2.
