To change the engine oil on a Renault Megane, you need to lift the vehicle with a jack or ramp to access the drain plug of the oil sump, located at the bottom of the engine compartment. By loosening this plug, you can collect all the used oil in a suitably placed container.

Once all the oil has drained out, close the drain plug and open the bonnet: at the front of the engine block, you will find the oil filter, which should be removed and replaced with a new one. Finally, top up the oil by pouring it through the breather located at the top of the engine block.
