Next, proceed to replace the oil filter cartridge located right in front of the oil sump: unscrew the plastic cap, remove the old cartridge, and insert the new one, also replacing the o-ring gasket usually included in the filter kit. Finally, fill the engine with new oil according to the quantities and SAE specifications indicated in the owner's manual.
