Lift the vehicle on suitable axle stands and position a container for collecting used oil under the oil sump: then undo the drain plug and wait for the sump to empty completely; re-tighten the plug after replacing the washer. Also, replace the oil filter cartridge located on the side (it can be accessed from the passenger side wheel arch; oil the gasket of the new filter before screwing it in). Finally, fill the engine with new oil according to the SAE specifications and the quantities indicated in the user and maintenance manual.

To remove the rear seat of a Hyundai Tucson, follow these steps. Start by moving the front seats to their most forward position to gain space. Next, locate the release lever on the underside of the rear seat, near the floor. Press this lever down while pulling the seat upwards to unlock it from the anchor pins. Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat. Be careful of any electrical cables or components that may be connected to the seat during removal. Once the rear seat is removed, the disassembly is complete.
