Video tutorial

This video shows the method for changing the engine oil on a Honda Civic. The vehicle is lifted and secured.

Newspapers and a collection basin are placed on the floor under the car, positioned beneath the oil sump. Using a ratchet wrench with an extension, unscrew the lower plug of the sump.

The old oil will begin to drain; in the meantime, if necessary, you can change the filter. A small amount of new oil can be introduced into the tank while the old oil is draining: this will help clean out any residues.

Now close the lower plug of the sump and proceed to pour in the new oil (approximately 4 litres). Check the level with the dipstick and top up if necessary.

Finally, close the upper plug.

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.
