Start by opening the bonnet, ensuring it stays open for maximum safety. Then remove the splash guard protecting the lower part of the engine to access the oil sump.

Position a suitable container directly under the sump and unscrew the oil drain plug; once drained, re-screw the plug, replacing the copper washer. Next, unscrew the old oil filter and replace it with a new one after applying oil to the gasket (hand-tightening is sufficient).

At this point, fill the engine with new oil according to the SAE specifications and the quantities indicated in the owner's manual. Proceed to replace the engine air filter by opening the relevant housing, removing the old filter, and inserting the new one. To replace the fuel filter, disconnect the hoses by loosening the clips, remove the old filter, and install the new one, reconnecting the hoses.

Finally, the cabin filter is located just below the windscreen, in the engine compartment, on the passenger side: extract the old filter and insert the new one, ensuring the airflow direction is correct.

How to Reset the Tire Pressure Light on a MG ZS?

On the instrument cluster of the MG ZS, the tire pressure light that appears can be reset by inflating the tires to the correct pressure: this value will be indicated on the sticker attached to the driver's door pillar. Once the tires have been properly inflated, you can turn on the instrument cluster and navigate through the menu until you find the option that indicates tire pressure: if this screen shows the new values, the light will turn off; otherwise, you will need to drive for a few miles so that the sensors can read the new values and turn off the light afterward.
