To change the oil and oil filter, follow these steps: open the bonnet and secure it with the support rod, raise the car and note that on the oil sump there is a label "engine oil" with an arrow pointing to the oil drain plug. Unscrew it and let the oil drain out. Once all the oil has drained, screw the plug back in and use a suitable spanner to unscrew the oil filter, cleaning any splashed oil. After the oil from the filter has drained, apply some oil to the gasket of the new filter and screw it back in. Now lower the car, unscrew the oil filler cap, pour in the recommended litres from the manufacturer, and close the filler cap. Next, remove the dipstick, clean it, reinsert it into its housing, pull it out again, check the oil level, and if it's low, top it up. If the level is fine, replace the dipstick in its place and the operation is complete.
