Oil and Engine Filter Replacement

Model: Vauxhall Astra Astra G - Years 1998-2006
Part: Oil filter

The oil filter cartridge housing is located at the top of the engine, near the oil filler cap: once the cap is unscrewed, remove it along with the filter cartridge, extract the old cartridge, remove the old O-ring seal, and apply the new one (always included in the filter kit); then insert the new filter cartridge, coat the new seal with oil, and screw everything back on without exceeding the tightening torque. After draining the used oil through the drain plug located on the oil sump, fill the engine with new oil.
