How to Replace Engine Oil and Oil Filter in Your Car

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Engine oil

Video tutorial

When the oil warning light comes on in your vehicle, you need to replace the engine oil and oil filter. This operation can be performed independently on all vehicles as the steps are the same.

The location of the oil filter protection may vary depending on the model; on some vehicles, it is located under the bonnet near the oil reservoir, while on others, it is near the oil sump. In today's tutorial video, the oil filter is located near the oil sump.

To replace the oil, open the bonnet and remove the oil reservoir cap. Next, lift the vehicle and remove the nut from the oil sump, allowing all the oil to drain out before refitting the nut. Using a spanner, unscrew the nut that secures the oil filter cap; once the nut is removed, replace the filter and top up the oil in the reservoir.
