Open the bonnet of the engine compartment, locate the oil reservoir and the position of the oil filter. Check the oil level in the reservoir using the dipstick.

Unscrew the filter housing and remove the oil filter. Replace the old filter and the gasket of its housing cover.

Now, locate the spark plug position on the cylinder head. Remove the cover (unscrew the two bolts) and use the appropriate socket to unscrew the 4 spark plugs.

Replace the old spark plugs and refit the cover. Now open the engine oil reservoir and add the necessary oil. Check the level.

At this point, locate the oxygen sensor; its position is at the front of the cylinder head, down low. Disconnect the electrical supply to the sensor and unscrew it from its housing. Replace it with the new sensor and reconnect the wires.

The car on which this maintenance operation is performed is an Opel Corsa.
