Today, I will show you how to change the engine oil and oil filter on your Lancia Ypsilon. It is not a very complex operation; just take some care, and you can do it without needing a specialist.

First, remove the oil filler cap (to avoid creating a vacuum when you remove the oil drain plug). Now, proceed to remove the oil drain plug (place a container under your Lancia Ypsilon to catch the oil). Meanwhile, remove the oil filter using a ratchet and replace it with a new one. After ensuring all the old oil has drained, you can refit the drain plug and proceed to top up with new oil.

How to Activate the Disabled TRC on the Toyota Yaris?

As the video clearly shows, disabling or activating the traction control (TRC or ESP) on the Toyota Yaris is very simple. By default, the traction system activates every time the vehicle is started. To disable it, simply press the button depicting a skidding car located in the centre of the vehicle where the controls are, such as the hazard lights and the radio, but near the handbrake. Once disabled, the TRC off light will illuminate on the dashboard. To reactivate it, just press the same button again.
