Changing the oil and oil filter on Opel Astra h

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

Lift the vehicle and unscrew the torx t45 under the engine compartment, freeing the oil drain hole and collecting it in a container (dispose of it correctly at the ecological islands). Using the joint wrench and 24 mm insert, unscrew the oil filter compartment from the top and replace it by extracting it from its seat (use absorbent paper or rags during the process and remember to replace the o-r as well, lubricating the new one before assembly). Load the same amount of oil that leaked from the upper hole in the engine compartment.
