Video tutorial

The video author shows the correct way to service the first model of the Opel Vivaro, specifically using a 2008 vehicle as an example. The first step is to remove the oil sump plug so that the oil can drain into a suitable container.

Meanwhile, you can proceed to unscrew the oil filter, replacing its seal and cartridge before repositioning it. You can then replace the engine air filter and finally fill the designated tank with new engine oil, of course, after replacing the oil sump plug!
