Replace the engine oil and oil filter on a Volkswagen Up! 1.0 CNG. Use synthetic oil SAE 5W40. A strap wrench is needed to remove the oil filter. First, unscrew the upper oil cap and lift the dipstick.

Then, raise the vehicle using a jack and axle stands. Do not rely solely on your jack.

Locate the filter and the sump plug (just behind the bumper) and use a container to collect the used oil for proper disposal at an authorised centre. Allow the oil to drain and simultaneously remove the oil filter, which will also leak some oil. Once all the oil has drained (this takes about an hour), replace the plug (it is advisable to change the gasket) and install the new filter, ensuring the seat is clean.

Tighten it by hand; do not over-tighten. Now, fill the oil reservoir.

Meanwhile, check the coolant and windscreen washer fluid. The job is done.

How to Remove the Rear Seat of a Hyundai Tucson?

To remove the rear seat of a Hyundai Tucson, follow these steps. Start by moving the front seats to their most forward position to gain space. Next, locate the release lever on the underside of the rear seat, near the floor. Press this lever down while pulling the seat upwards to unlock it from the anchor pins. 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.
