In this tutorial, the filter is replaced and the oil is changed on a Ford Mustang. Use a socket spanner to unscrew the oil sump plug located under the vehicle.

Collect the oil in a catch basin. Once fully drained, replace the plug.

Clean it and tighten it securely. To access the filter, remove a plastic cover secured with two small screws.

Using the appropriate tool, loosen the filter cap, remove it, and replace it with a new one. Refit the cover and secure it with its two screws. Open the oil filler cap at the top of the engine bay; using a funnel, top up the oil level while monitoring it with the dipstick.
