Video tutorial

To change the engine oil and filter in a Volkswagen Polo, park the vehicle on a flat surface, turn off the engine, and open the bonnet. Unscrew the oil filler cap, then safely lift the car. Remove any lower engine protection and position a container under the oil sump.

Unscrew the drain plug and allow the used oil to drain completely. Locate the oil filter, remove it with an appropriate spanner, and install the new one, also replacing the required seals.

Pour the prescribed amount of oil through the filler neck, checking the level progressively with the dipstick. Start the engine, check for leaks, turn it off, and recheck the level after a few minutes.
