To ensure the proper functioning of the engine and its longevity, it is necessary to perform regular maintenance, which mainly includes changing the engine oil and the oil filter. First, we lift the vehicle and begin unscrewing the oil drain plug located on the oil pan, allowing the oil to drain into a container for about ten minutes; we also replace the copper gasket on the drain plug.

At this point, we unscrew the oil filter cartridge and replace it with a new one (screwing it in by hand and tightening gently with a wrench); finally, we refill with the new oil!
