Video tutorial

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.

How to Remove the Rear Seat of a Hyundai Tucson?

To remove the rear seat of a Hyundai Tucson, follow these steps. Start by moving the front seats to their most forward position to gain space. Next, locate the release lever on the underside of the rear seat, near the floor. Press this lever down while pulling the seat upwards to unlock it from the anchor pins. Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat. Be careful of any electrical cables or components that may be connected to the seat during removal. Once the rear seat is removed, the disassembly is complete.
