How to Change the Engine Oil in the Lotus Exige?

Model: Lotus Exige MK 2 - Years 2004-2012
Part: Engine oil

In this tutorial, you will see how to change the engine oil in the Lotus Exige, a very simple and quick operation to be performed every 12 months. First, wait until the engine is cool enough, then lift the vehicle and, taking all necessary safety measures, go underneath it. Next, remove the indicated aluminium panel, locate the drain hole bolt, and unscrew it using a 14 mm socket. At this point, allow the oil contained in the system to drain out, replace the filter, reassemble everything, and pour in the new oil through the designated hole.
