Position the vehicle on suitable car ramps to access the oil sump more easily, remove the undertray and place a container directly under the oil sump to collect the used oil by unscrewing the appropriate drain plug located under the sump; once the oil has fully drained, re-screw the plug; then proceed to replace the oil filter accessed from the engine bay: use a metal strap wrench to unscrew it and apply clean oil to the seal of the new filter before screwing it in (do not exceed the tightening torque).

Finally, fill the engine with new oil until the correct level is reached.
