Before starting, obtain the oil and the original replacement filter, then lift the car and secure it with appropriate supports so it cannot fall. The necessary tools are a ratchet wrench, a set of open-end wrenches, a special tool for removing the filter, and a basin for collecting the oil. Position the basin under the engine to collect the oil. Unscrew the oil cap on the oil pan and let it drain.

Using the special tool, unscrew the filter and remove the cartridge. Replace the used filter cartridge with a new one and reinstall the filter.

Also, replace the copper gasket on the oil cap and that of the filter. Close the oil cap, reinstall the oil filter, and top off with new oil, checking the level with the appropriate dipstick.

Do not dispose of used oil in the environment; take it to designated collection centers.

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.
