Before starting, remember that when changing the engine oil, it is necessary to change both the oil filter and the sump plug. Obtain both parts and then begin.

Start with the oil filter, located in the engine bay, which can be removed using a suitable socket wrench. After replacing it, drain the oil from the sump and replace the sump plug.

Finally, fill the reservoir with new engine oil of the correct grade, checking the level multiple times using the dipstick. For safety, repeat the check after warming up the engine and top up if necessary.
