Lift the vehicle and secure it with appropriate supports to prevent it from falling. The necessary tools are a ratchet, a set of spanners, a special tool, and a large container for collecting the oil. Use the special tool to unscrew the filter and remove the cartridge.

Replace the used filter cartridge with a new one and reattach the filter. Also, replace the copper washer on the oil drain plug and that of the filter.

Position the container under the engine for oil collection. Unscrew the oil drain plug on the sump and allow it to drain.

Close the oil drain plug, reattach the oil filter, and top up with new oil, checking the level with the dipstick. Reset the onboard computer for the next change.

Do not dispose of used oil in the environment; take it to the appropriate collection centres.

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.
