Before proceeding with the engine oil replacement following the steps shown in the video, ensure you have all the necessary equipment, including a new filter. This is because the engine oil filter must be replaced every time you change the oil. Once you have everything at hand, open the oil filler cap, then lift the vehicle and drain the oil sump into a suitable collection container.

While the used oil drains, move to the front of the engine bay to remove the oil filter and replace its cartridge and seal. Finish by closing the oil sump and adding the new engine oil.
