Replacing the engine oil filter is a straightforward task, but it is crucial to observe one important precaution: do not exceed the tightening torque. Generally, hand-tightening is sufficient, but you can follow this rule: once manually tightened to the end of its travel, tighten an additional 3/4 of a turn.

It is advisable to divide and number the 4/4 of the filter, apply oil to the seal to improve adherence, then hand-tighten the filter until fully seated, and complete the tightening with a metal strap wrench without exceeding 3/4.

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.
