How to Replace Engine Oil and Oil Filter on an Opel Vivaro

Model: Vauxhall Vivaro MK 1 - Years 2001-2014
Part: Engine oil

Today, I will explain how to replace the engine oil and oil filter on an Opel Vivaro model 1. Before performing the oil change, pour a pre-change liquid into the oil reservoir to facilitate the oil's exit and clean the reservoir. Open the front bonnet and unscrew the cap of the oil reservoir. Raise the front of the vehicle and unscrew the nuts on the lower cover to access the oil sump. Unscrew the bolt on the sump and let the oil drain into a container. Using a socket with a 27 mm insert, unscrew the bolt on the oil filter housing. Insert the new filter into the housing and fit the cover. Tighten the sump bolt and lower the vehicle after fitting the lower cover. Pour approximately 5 litres of oil into the oil reservoir.
