Engine Oil and Filter Replacement

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

Position an oil collection tray under the oil sump and loosen the drain plug (8 mm hex key located at the rear edge of the sump) to drain the oil. After draining, apply a new washer to the plug and tighten it. Then, access the engine compartment and locate the oil filter at the front of the engine. Use a metal strap wrench to unscrew it, lubricate the seal of the new filter, and screw it on without exceeding the torque specification. Finally, fill the engine with clean oil until the maximum level is reached.
