Opel Astra engine oil and filter replacement

Model: Vauxhall Astra Astra H - Years 2004-2010
Part: Engine oil

In this video we will see how to go to replace the engine oil and the oil filter of the Opel Astra. Open the bonnet and with the appropriate socket wrench with extension we go to unscrew the oil filter. Remember to remove the old gasket and reassemble the new one. Now we lift the car and we go to unscrew the torx screw of the oil vent: it is recommended to drain it well (even half an hour) to let all the remaining oil come out. At this point refit the screw, get the car off the scaffolding and remove the oil cap to put the new one (good quality oil is recommended).

For this operation, you will need to remove the wheel where you will perform the replacement, so it will be convenient to lift your vehicle and place it on jack stands; this way, you will work much more comfortably. To remove the spring that holds the front pads, use a flathead screwdriver. Now, unscrew the bolts that secure the piston to the pads, then remove it, giving you access to both pads that brake the rotor. Of course, repeat the same steps on the other side if the same replacements are needed.
