In this video, we will see how to change the engine oil and filter of the Renault Kangoo II: before changing the oil, it is advisable to clean the oil pan with a detergent product, such as Liqui Moly Pro-line, which can be purchased on Amazon with the code B004FPP4Z2 for 29.98 euros for a 1-liter pack, free delivery for Prime customers.

Start the car for five minutes, pour the product into the oil and then run the engine at idle for about fifteen minutes.

Wait for the engine to cool down and then lift the car, and get a large bowl to drain the oil from the oil pan plug: then dispose of the used oil at an authorized center. In the meantime, let's take care of the filter, which we will need to remove by first removing the coolant reservoir, located in the front part of the engine compartment.

Once this component is removed, we will still need an extension to access the filter and a special wrench, then turn it by hand holding it upwards so that the oil does not leak out. Before putting the new one in place, apply some new oil on the gasket, then place it in its place.

Reassemble the coolant reservoir.

Put the new plug at the bottom of the oil pan, lower the car and top up the oil from the top of the engine, starting with 90% of the amount recommended by the manufacturer. Start the engine for 30 seconds to allow the filter to fill up, then check the oil level, and top it up gradually until it reaches the mark just below the "max" level.

Operation completed.
