Engine Oil and Filter Replacement

Model: Renault Clio Clio 2, MK 2 - Years 1998-2005
Part: Oil filter

First, open the filler cap located at the top of the engine to facilitate oil drainage and then, after placing a container to collect the used oil, unscrew the drain plug under the oil sump; once emptied, refit the plug after applying a new washer. At this point, access the engine bay and locate the oil filter cartridge at the front of the engine: use a metal strap wrench to unscrew it; apply clean oil to the seal of the new filter and screw it into place (hand-tight is sufficient); finally, fill the engine with new oil until the correct level is reached.
