Today we will explain how to replace the audio filter of the Opel Zafira model t 98. Before replacing the oil filter, it is important to replace the engine oil. To replace the engine oil, we need to open the front hood of the car and remove the oil tank cap. We then lift the vehicle using jack stands and a jack; after spraying degreaser, we brush the oil pan drain plug and then remove the plug with a wrench, letting the oil drain into a container.

Once it has stopped draining, we tighten the plug and lower the vehicle.

We unscrew the oil filter cover located under the glow plugs in the front hood. We replace the filter, close the cover, and proceed to top up the oil in the tank.
