Below are the steps necessary to perform the routine maintenance service, replacing the engine oil and oil filter of the Volkswagen Polo 1.2 TSI. First, lift the vehicle and remove the lower plastic engine cover by unscrewing the screws; then unscrew the engine oil drain plug, allowing the oil to drain into a container for about ten minutes.

At this point, use the appropriate tool to unscrew the oil filter cartridge, replacing it with the new one (screw it in by hand and tighten gently); finally, pour in the engine oil, ensuring it meets the specifications indicated in the owner's manual.
