Before starting, gather all the necessary tools listed at the beginning of the video, as well as new engine oil and a new filter. Begin by lifting the bonnet and removing the oil cap to facilitate draining the oil sump.

Raise the car on a ramp or axle stands, position a suitable container underneath the oil sump, and open the drain plug to let the used oil flow out. Meanwhile, unscrew the oil filter, clean the mounting surface, and install the new filter after lubricating it with fresh oil. Close the drain plug of the oil sump, lower the car, and proceed to add the new engine oil.
