The oil filter on the Volkswagen Polo should be replaced at the recommended mileage during each service. Here’s how to remove it. Lift the car on a column lift or jack, after removing the cover panel, unscrew the oil sump bolt with a socket, allow the fluid to drain into a disposal container and then re-screw the sump bolt and the oil filter.

Lift the engine cover, secure it, detach the engine panel; unscrew the filter cap and remove the filter itself. Refill the engine with new oil. Measure the oil level multiple times with the metal dipstick until the ideal measurement is reached.

Refit the engine cover panel.

How to Reset the Tire Pressure Light on a MG ZS?

On the instrument cluster of the MG ZS, the tire pressure light that appears can be reset by inflating the tires to the correct pressure: this value will be indicated on the sticker attached to the driver's door pillar. Once the tires have been properly inflated, you can turn on the instrument cluster and navigate through the menu until you find the option that indicates tire pressure: if this screen shows the new values, the light will turn off; otherwise, you will need to drive for a few miles so that the sensors can read the new values and turn off the light afterward.
