If possible, lift the vehicle on a lift or on suitable car ramps to facilitate access to the underside of the vehicle. Then, remove the plastic cap to access the oil sump drain; unscrew the drain plug, complete the draining, and retighten the plug, repositioning the plastic cover.

Still from underneath, unscrew the oil filter (it is located slightly further forward than the oil sump) and apply the new one after coating the seal with oil (hand-tightening is sufficient). Finally, fill the engine with new oil according to the SAE specifications and the quantities indicated in the user manual; check the level using the dipstick.

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.
