Lift the front of the car with a jack. Remove the front right wheel.

Open the bonnet. Place a container under the engine, aligned with the oil drain hole.

Unscrew the bolt and let the engine oil drain into the container. Refit the bolt for the oil drain.

Locate the oil filter (which in this case is located at the bottom in front of the part of the engine from which we drained the oil) and unscrew it with an appropriate spanner. Replace the filter with a new one and pour the new oil into the designated filler neck at the top of the engine bay. The maintenance operation shown in the images is performed on a Fiat Punto.

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.
