Replacing an oil filter is generally straightforward, although it is always advisable to do it with the car raised for practicality. There are also cases where additional precautions are necessary, like this one. After removing the plastic cover and raising the car, you will find the filter: first, drain the engine oil, then, using the appropriate tool, unscrew the filter without removing it completely; in this case, there is a central screw on the filter to unscrew.

Do this to allow the oil to drain. Once done, you can remove it completely.

Replace the bolt seal and fit the new filter. Screw everything back on, including the cap and filter, and add the engine oil.

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.
