 | Undo the 13mm/10mm bolts and Phillips screws to the undertray. |
|
 | Loosen off the 13mm sump plug a few turns... |
|
 | ....so that you can control the flow of the oil into a suitable waste container. |
|
 | The oil filter housing is located up above the right side drive shaft. You'll need a stubby 32mm spanner for the plastic cover. |
|
 | When you undo the housing cover oil will run over the cross member and down the right wishbone, this will need cleaning up. |
|
 | Once the housing cover is removed you can then pull out the oil filter. |
|
 | Replace the O ring on the oil filter housing cover... |
|
 | ....and the washer on the sump plug. Replace the oil filter, housing cover, sump plug and undertray. |

 | Unscrew the oil filler cap. |
|
 | Pour in about 4.5 litres of the recommended oil (EURO 5 - WR Pure Energy 5W-30 or EURO 6 - WR Forward 0W-30)and screw the cap back on. |
|
 | Start the engine briefly to circulate the fresh oil. |
|
