How to Change the Engine Oil in a Ford Ka

Model: Ford Ka MK 2 - Years 2008-2016
Part: Engine oil

Before you begin, open the front bonnet of your Ford Ka. Start by unscrewing and removing the upper oil filler cap. Next, lift the front of your vehicle, then undo and remove the lower drain nut. This will allow all the engine oil to drain out. Once the engine oil has fully drained, re-tighten the drain nut, then lower the front. At this point, pour in the new oil through the upper hole, then re-tighten the filler cap. When you have completed this step, you will have successfully finished the replacement.
