Oil Change on an Opel Astra 1.4

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

To change the oil and filter on your Opel Astra, lift the vehicle with a jack, remove the protective panel under the floor if present, and use a socket wrench to unscrew the oil sump bolt (after removing the plastic protective panel). Allow the fluid to drain into a disposal container and reattach the sump bolt (unscrew the filter next to it with the socket wrench). Lower the vehicle and open the bonnet, then unscrew the oil filler cap. Unscrew the oil filter and install a new one. Top up with new oil.
