Video tutorial

To perform maintenance safely, lift the vehicle with a jack and place axle stands underneath. Then, unscrew the screws along the perimeter of the rear undertray corresponding to the engine and remove it. At this point, place a flat container under the sump, unscrew the plug, and let the oil drain completely.

After tightening the sump plug, use a socket wrench to unscrew the filter plug, which will be replaced and screwed back into its housing. Open the filler cap and pour in the new oil, ensuring not to exceed the level.

Remount the undertray and the job is complete.
