To replace the engine oil and filter on a Ford C-Max, slightly warm the engine, turn it off, and safely lift the vehicle. Remove any undertray if present and position a drain pan under the sump.

Unscrew the drain plug and allow the used oil to completely drain out. Then, locate the oil filter and remove it with an appropriate tool; for models with a cartridge filter, unscrew the housing and extract the filter element. Fit the new filter and replace any necessary seals.

Refit the drain plug, then pour in new oil of the correct specification and quantity for the engine. Start the engine for a few seconds, turn it off, and wait a few minutes.

Finally, check the level with the dipstick, top up if necessary, and ensure there are no leaks.
