Below we will discover the steps that will allow us to carry out the routine maintenance check, replacing the motor oil and oil filter, of the Opel Tigra 1.4. First, we lift the vehicle and start unscrewing the motor oil drain plug that we find on the sump, letting it drain into a container for about ten minutes; then we unscrew the oil filter cartridge with a socket wrench with an extension, as shown in the video.

At this point, we install the new oil filter, then unscrew the filler cap to top up the oil!
