How to Perform a Service on a Mitsubishi Colt

Model: Mitsubishi Colt MK 1, Z30 - Years 2004-2012
Part: Engine oil

In this short video tutorial, you will see how to perform a service, which includes changing the engine oil and the corresponding filter on a Mitsubishi Colt. First, lift the car and open the bonnet where you will unscrew the oil cap to allow for better drainage. Now, position a container under the vehicle, then start unscrewing the nut from the oil sump and let all the old oil drain into the container. Allow it to drain completely and then refit the nut. Next, remove the old filter located under the exhaust manifold by simply unscrewing it, using a chain wrench if necessary, and finally install a new one. Once this is done, all that remains is to add new engine oil.
