The drain plug for the used oil is located right in the centre of the oil sump: position a suitable container directly under the plug and unscrew it to let the oil flow out; once the draining is complete, refit the plug; in front of the oil sump is the oil filter, which is of the immersion type: unscrew the filter housing either with a socket wrench or with a monkey wrench, remove the old filter, take off the old O-ring seals, and insert the new ones, ensuring the filter is properly seated; then screw the filter back on without over-tightening and fill the engine with new oil until the maximum level is reached.

Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat. Be careful of any electrical cables or components that may be connected to the seat during removal. Once the rear seat is removed, the disassembly is complete.
