Video tutorial

The video shows us with the bonnet open, where the oil filter is screwed in. Once removed with the corresponding cap, replace the filter and carefully apply the O-ring as shown in the guide, then screw the cap containing the filter back into its housing; to tighten the filter securely, use a socket spanner and refit the upper cover.

Now, let's move on to replacing the oil. Right next to the filter, you will find the engine oil filler cap; unscrew it and place a wide, low container under the car in line with the oil sump.

Unscrew the cap screwed into the sump and let all the oil drain out. At this point, screw the sump cap back on and pour new oil into the filler neck, checking the level with the dipstick.
