Lift the car with a jack (if you don't have a ramp). Unscrew the screw that secures the cover over the oil drain hole, and by doing this, you will access the bolt that acts as the plug for the hole.

Collect the used oil in a container (and dispose of it properly). Similarly, open the cover for the oil filter, located near the previous one, remove the clip by unscrewing it slightly and pulling it with pliers, then unscrew the filter itself with the appropriate tool available online: this will remove the entire casing.

Now replace the filter and close all the compartments. Fill with new oil through the upper hole in the bonnet.

How to Remove the Rear Seat of a Hyundai Tucson?

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.
