Lift the vehicle with appropriate jacks and secure it with suitable supports to prevent it from falling. Place a plastic sheet and an oil collection bowl under the engine.

Unscrew the oil cap on the sump and allow the oil to drain. Close the oil cap, refit the oil filter, and top up with new oil. Using a suitable socket spanner, gently unscrew the oil filter and remove it from its seat.

Replace the used cartridge with a new one. Do not dispose of used oil in the environment; take it to designated collection centres.
