First, remove the old oil filter and replace it with the new one; to do this, unscrew the black cap containing the filter using a 27mm wrench and pull out the old cartridge. Insert the new one, place the new gasket on the cap, and screw it back in. Next, drain the oil from the oil pan by removing the drain bolt.

Once done, screw it back in and tighten it securely with the appropriate wrench. Now, you can add new oil following the instructions in the owner's manual (regarding the necessary quantity and type of oil). Start the engine for a few seconds, then turn it off, check the oil level with the dipstick, and if it is within the limits, you are finished.
