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.
