Before proceeding with the engine oil change and fitting the oil filter on the car, position your Seat Leon on a ramp or flat surface (to work underneath the engine) to ensure the operator's safety and stability. At this point, after warming the engine for about three minutes (to make the oil more fluid), open the front bonnet, remove the plastic engine cover, and extract the dipstick to check the oil level.

Underneath the engine, remove the splash guard and, after placing a container underneath, unscrew the bolt that seals the drain hole and let the oil drain out. Locate the filter position (as shown in the images) and, using the appropriate spanner, unscrew the filter housing from its seat.

Replace the filter and refit it. Close the drain hole and pour 4 litres of oil into the engine.

This completes the operation!

To remove the rear seat of a Hyundai Tucson, follow these steps. Start by moving the front seats to their most forward position to gain space. Next, locate the release lever on the underside of the rear seat, near the floor. Press this lever down while pulling the seat upwards to unlock it from the anchor pins. Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat. Be careful of any electrical cables or components that may be connected to the seat during removal. Once the rear seat is removed, the disassembly is complete.
