Maintenance should be carried out every 37,282 miles. Position the vehicle on a mobile ramp to lift the car; once the vehicle is raised, you can see the oil filler cap. Unscrew the cap and completely drain the gearbox sump.

Refit the cap by screwing it back on. Now add the Bluetech additive as shown in the video. After running the additive, you need to lower the sump.

You will then notice the difference between the clean cap and the dirty one. Now refit the clean sump with the new filter. Next, you need to find the hoses for flushing with the machine.

Note the difference between the old oil and the new oil. Insert the Bluetech treatment.
