Remove the cap from the cylinder head and top up with new oil to the quantity specified by the manufacturer, then check the level. For the fuel filter change, disconnect the connector and, using a screwdriver and hammer, force the opening by unscrewing it counterclockwise.

Remove the cover and pull out the filter. Position the new filter and close the cover, reconnecting the connector.

Start the engine. For the air filter replacement, unscrew the filter cover, remove the filter, start the engine, and spray EGR fluid into the intake duct at intervals.
