Replacing the engine oil and its filter is typical DIY maintenance, but it is essential to dispose of the used oil at an authorised collection centre. Access the car's underbody and remove the splash guard to reach the oil sump and filter location.

Then, unscrew the drain plug from the sump to drain the oil, followed by the oil filter, which is of the cartridge type. Extract the old filter and insert the new one, also replacing the O-ring seals that are always included in the new filter kit. Finally, fill the engine with new oil until it reaches the maximum level.
