To change the engine oil and oil filter on the Volkswagen Tiguan, lift the vehicle to access the components underneath the engine bay. There will be a protective panel that needs to be removed by unscrewing its fixing screws. Once these are removed, take off the panel to access the oil drain plug; unscrew it to let the used oil flow into a suitably positioned container.

On the opposite side of the plug, you will find the oil filter, which also needs to be unscrewed to replace it with a new one. Finally, top up the oil from the inside of the engine bay.

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.
