Oil change on an Opel Zafira? Here’s how to do it. Lift the car on a jack and undo the bolt on the oil sump; allow the fluid to drain into a container. Open the car door and pull up the engine bay release lever located at the bottom left of the dashboard, then lift the front bonnet and secure it. Using a socket spanner, undo the large securing bolt on the cap where the oil filter is located.

Remove the worn oil filter and fit a new one. Top up with new oil and close the front bonnet. Reassemble all parts properly before starting the engine.
