Today we will see how to replace the oil filter and motor oil of the Volkswagen Tiguan mk1 model on our own. We open the front hood and remove the oil tank cap, lift the front of the vehicle and place a container under the oil pan. We unscrew the oil pan bolt and let the oil drain into the container.

We tighten the oil pan bolt with a wrench at the end. We disconnect the electrical connector and unscrew the oil filter cap with a 32mm socket wrench and replace it. We lower the vehicle to the ground and pour the new motor oil into the tank.

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.
