To replace the engine oil and its filter, access the oil sump to drain the used oil: position the vehicle on suitable car ramps or over a workshop pit; access the underbody and remove the plastic protective cover, unscrew the drain plug located at the rear of the sump and allow the used oil to drain into a container; once the draining is complete, proceed to replace the oil filter located just in front of the sump: unscrew the plastic cap underneath, remove the old cartridge and fit the new one along with the o-ring seal, lubricating it with clean oil before repositioning it in its seat and tightening it. Finally, fill the engine with clean oil until the maximum level is reached.
