Changing the engine oil and filter is typical DIY maintenance, but it is essential to dispose of the used oil at specialised collection centres; start by opening the front bonnet, remove the plastic cover on the engine, and locate the engine oil filter: it is found at the front right when viewed from the front; position a container under the oil sump and unscrew the drain plug, and while the used oil drains, replace the oil filter cartridge and the O-ring seals; once the draining is complete, screw the sump plug back in and fill the engine with new oil until reaching the maximum level.

Finally, reset the service message on the instrument panel: this is a manual operation to be performed using the menu buttons on the steering wheel.

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.
