Obtain the original replacement filter and various seals. Lift the car with appropriate jacks and secure it with suitable supports to prevent it from falling.

Remove the front wheels for easier access. Place a plastic sheet under the engine and a container for oil collection.

Unscrew the oil cap on the sump and allow it to drain. Close the oil cap, reassemble the oil filter, and top up with new oil. Using a flexible ratchet wrench, gently unscrew the oil filter and remove it from its housing.

Replace the used cartridge with a new one. Do not dispose of used oil in the environment; take it to the appropriate collection centres.

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.
