It is clear that if you need to replace the engine oil filter, it is advisable to also replace the oil: first, drain the engine oil through the drain plug located under the oil sump. Proceed with replacing the oil filter cartridge: unscrew the cap of the oil filter housing (be careful not to damage the plastic nut), extract the old cartridge, and insert the new one, replacing the set of O-ring seals that always come with the new filter.

Lubricate the new seals with clean oil and tighten the cap. Finally, fill the engine with new oil until the correct level is reached.
