How to Carry Out a Service on an Opel Antara

Model: Vauxhall Antara MK 1 - Years 2006-2015
Part: Engine oil

Let's go through the steps to perform the regular maintenance service, replacing the engine oil and oil filter on the Opel Antara Diesel. First, lift the vehicle and remove the lower plastic engine cover by unscrewing the screws; then unscrew the oil drain bolt found on the sump, allowing it to drain into a container for about ten minutes. Now, unscrew the oil filter cartridge using the filter wrench; replace it with a new one, screwing it in by hand, and top up the engine oil (of the correct type).
