Do you want to change the engine oil in your car? Lift the car with a jack and see how to replace the oil and the filter. Raise the car on a column lift or jack, loosen the oil sump bolt with a socket spanner, let the fluid drain into a disposal container, and refit the sump bolt.

After removing the oil from the engine, replace the oil filter using a suitable strap wrench. Bring the car back to the ground and lift the bonnet, securing it. Top up the engine with new oil. Check the oil level with the metal dipstick.
