How to Change the Oil Filter on the Opel/Vauxhall Astra K

Model: Vauxhall Astra Astra K - Years 2015-2022
Part: Oil filter

In this video, we will see how to change the oil filter on the Opel/Vauxhall Astra K: the filter is located in a fairly convenient position, near the oil sump, and is easily accessible from underneath the vehicle. Unfortunately, as we can see, when we remove the filter, even if we have a tray to catch the dripping oil, we end up getting our hands really dirty. We can improve the situation a bit by cutting the top off a plastic bottle to create a sort of funnel, which directs the dirty liquid straight into the tray without making too much mess. Then, it’s just a matter of fitting the new filter and closing the cap.
