Do-it-yourself oil and engine oil filter replacement

Model: Toyota Rav 4 Xa20, MK 2 - Years 2000-2006
Part: Engine oil

Raise the car on a lift or on suitable car stands. Remove any stone guard: it is immediately possible to identify the oil pair drain plug and the filter positioned right in front of the sump itself. Place a tray of suitable capacity (about 5 liters) in correspondence with the drain plug and remove the plug itself to allow the exhausted oil to drain out (it is advisable to open the oil filler plug). Always leaving the tray underneath, loosen the oil filter (with the appropriate wrench or with a metal clamp wrench), let the other oil out and then remove it. At this point, apply the new filter, after having sprinkled the gasket with oil to improve its adherence and tighten it manually; refit the sump cap and fill the engine with new oil according to the SAE specifications and the quantities indicated in the use and maintenance manual.

How to deactivate the safe lock on a Volkswagen Golf.

The safe lock is indeed an anti-theft system that prevents thieves from accessing the car. This device locks the doors, both externally and internally, when the driver activates the central locking remote control after leaving the vehicle. To permanently disable it, it is necessary to use a diagnostic program such as VCDS that we will connect to the vehicle through the ODBII port. Then wait for the connection and recognition of the control unit and then select the blocks present and locate the safe lock to disable it. And the job will be completed.
