Video tutorial

This video tutorial shows how to perform a service on a Hyundai Tucson. The service should be done with the engine warm.

For this operation, you will need two socket wrenches: a 27 mm for the oil filter cap and a 17 mm for unscrewing the oil drain plug. Lift the car using a mobile ramp or hydraulic jack and place safety stands under the vehicle.

Raise the bonnet and secure it; now with a 27 mm socket, remove the oil filter cap by turning it counter-clockwise and take out the filter; check the gasket and replace it if necessary. Oil the gasket and refit the filter in its place.

Remove the underpanel to access the oil sump. Position a container for the used oil under the oil sump; unscrew the oil drain plug with a 17 mm socket, waiting for all the oil to drain into the container.

In the meantime, check the plug and replace it with a new one if it is faulty, also change the washer. Once all the oil has drained, reposition the oil plug without overtightening (a quarter turn).

Now lower the car and top up the engine oil (5W-30) using a funnel; check the level with the appropriate dipstick.

How to Reset the Tire Pressure Light on a MG ZS?

On the instrument cluster of the MG ZS, the tire pressure light that appears can be reset by inflating the tires to the correct pressure: this value will be indicated on the sticker attached to the driver's door pillar. Once the tires have been properly inflated, you can turn on the instrument cluster and navigate through the menu until you find the option that indicates tire pressure: if this screen shows the new values, the light will turn off; otherwise, you will need to drive for a few miles so that the sensors can read the new values and turn off the light afterward.
