The oil filter on your Opel Astra is located on the underside of the engine, near the oil sump. To access it, safely lift the car using a jack and place it on axle stands.

Next, unscrew the screws that secure the lower engine cover, then remove it. Once this step is complete, you will be able to access the filter from underneath the engine. It is advisable to consult the owner's manual for precise location and follow the manufacturer's instructions for replacing the oil filter.
