Model: Renault Renault Various
Part: Checks and maintenance

In this short video, we will see which tools are essential for changing the oil on a Renault 1.5 dCi K9K engine: first of all, we need a 76 mm 12-groove oil filter cup, which can be found on Amazon with code B06XTRT75N for 17.20 euros, free delivery; also on Amazon, we can find the square 8 mm oil sump drain plug with code B08DRCB665 for 8.59 euros, free delivery. We will also need a 1/2" ratchet wrench with a 10/15 cm extension; a drain pan with a capacity of at least 5 liters: use a dedicated container, maybe with a spout, and not an old pan; a clean funnel; gloves; rags or absorbent paper. Let's not forget the gasket of the drain plug, which is essential to avoid oil leaks in the future.
