Engine Oil and Filter Replacement

Model: Vauxhall Vectra Vectra B, MK 2 - Years 1995-2002
Part: Engine oil

Using a ratchet spanner, gently unscrew the oil filter and remove it from its housing. Replace the used cartridge with a new one. Lift the car with appropriate jacks and secure it with suitable supports to prevent it from falling. Place a plastic sheet and an oil collection tray under the engine. Unscrew the oil cap on the sump and allow it to drain. Close the oil cap, refit the oil filter, and top up with new oil. Do not dispose of used oil in the environment; take it to designated collection centres. Reset the computer for the new service.
