Video tutorial

In this video, you will learn how to change the oil on a Ford Transit van: open the oil filler cap, then go underneath (there is no need to lift the vehicle as there is plenty of space) and locate the oil sump which has a clearly visible plug, for which you will need a 13mm spanner; next to it is the filter cap which requires a 36mm spanner.

Obtain a suitable container to drain the oil, which you will then dispose of at an authorised centre.

The oil is SAE 5W30. Remove the filter; some oil will also drain here. Separate the filter from the cap and replace both the filter and the seal.

Refit the cap with the seal to the sump (ensure that the seal is changed, and possibly the cap as well) and then proceed to pour the new oil into the reservoir. The operation is complete.

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.
