Lift the vehicle on suitable axle stands or ramps, remove the plastic undertray, and locate the drain plug of the oil sump (found at the rear): position a suitable container under the plug and unscrew it to allow the used oil to drain out; once the draining is complete, refit the plug.

In front of the oil sump is the oil filter housing: unscrew the metal cap at the bottom to allow the oil to drain and then unscrew the plastic cap to extract the filter cartridge; insert the new one, replacing the O-ring on the cap before refitting it. Fill the engine with new oil according to the quantities and SAE specifications indicated in the owner's manual.

How to Remove the Rear Seat of a Hyundai Tucson?

To remove the rear seat of a Hyundai Tucson, follow these steps. Start by moving the front seats to their most forward position to gain space. Next, locate the release lever on the underside of the rear seat, near the floor. Press this lever down while pulling the seat upwards to unlock it from the anchor pins. Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat. Be careful of any electrical cables or components that may be connected to the seat during removal. Once the rear seat is removed, the disassembly is complete.
