How to Change the Engine Oil of a Volvo V40

Model: Volvo V40 MK 2 - Years 2012-2019
Part: Engine oil

Before you can begin, open the bonnet of your Volvo V40. Start by unscrewing and removing the top oil filler cap. Next, lift the front of your vehicle, then unscrew and remove the lower drain nut. This will allow all the engine oil to drain out. Once done, reattach the drain nut and lower the front. At this point, pour the new oil through the top hole using a funnel. When you have completed this step, screw the cap back on, and you will have successfully completed the change.
