After draining all the oil from the sump, proceed to remove the oil filter. Use a strap wrench: tighten the strap around the base of the filter, which is positioned vertically and accessible from underneath the car. When unscrewing the filter, check for any residual oil still in the filter.

Once the filter is removed, wait for all the oil to drain out, then proceed to install the new one: clean the seating where the filter screws in, lubricate the seal with oil, and refit it using the strap wrench.

How to Remove the Rear Seat of a Hyundai Tucson?

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.
