Lift the car with appropriate jacks and secure it with suitable supports to prevent it from falling. Place a plastic sheet and an oil collection tray under the engine.

Use a Torx spanner to unscrew the oil drain plug on the sump and allow the oil to drain. Using a ratchet spanner, gently unscrew the oil filter and remove it from its housing.

Replace the used cartridge with a new one, also replacing the O-ring seal, and refit the filter. Close the oil drain plug and top up with new oil. Check the correct level on the dipstick.

Do not dispose of used oil in the environment; take it to designated collection centres.
