Changing the oil on a 2018 Mercedes GLA car is a simple and quick operation that can be done independently. First, we need to lift the front part of the car using a jack for lifting and safety stands.

After lifting the car, we remove the lower part of the vehicle and place a tray under the oil pan, with a 13mm key we remove the nut and let the oil flow out into the container. When the oil has stopped flowing, we tighten the nut and reassemble the lower part of the vehicle so that we can lower it to the ground.

We open the front hood and using a filter removal key, we remove the oil filter box. We replace the filter and top up the oil in the tank.
