Part: Air filter
Operation: Replacement of engine oil air filter and oil filter

Once the front hood has been opened, the engine air filter container is on the passenger side: unscrew the cover fixing screws, lift it and remove the old filter (if necessary disconnect the connection sleeve with the intake manifold). Remove any residue from the filter container, apply the new filter and screw the lid back on. To change the engine oil, unscrew the drain plug from the oil pan which must be collected in a suitable capacity basin (about 5 liters): once the drain is complete, screw the plug back on. To replace the oil filter cartridge, access the engine compartment, remove the plastic cover and unscrew the filter container cap (located at the bottom right, looking at the engine from the front); remove the old filter and apply the new one; screw the cap back on after replacing the o-ring gasket and sprinkling it with oil. Finally, fill the engine with new oil according to SAE specifications and the quantities indicated in the use and maintenance manual.
