Introduction
It is recommended to carry out the engine oil change while it is warm for better oil flow.
-
-
Lift the vehicle: Securing the vehicle: removing and refitting the wheel
-
Visualize the crankcase, place a container under the crankcase to collect the used oil.
-
With the help of the allen key Unscrew the sump plug and let the used oil flow into the pan.
-
-
-
Placer a bin under the vehicle below the oil filter just next to the crankcase.
-
Place the oil filter wrench around of the oil filter at the notches on the end of the filter.
-
Loosen the oil filter with the wrench, then unscrew it by hand and let the used oil flow into the pan.
-
-
-
Compare the old and new oil filter (reference, diameter, length, etc.)
-
Apply a drizzle of new oil to the gasket of the new oil filter and to the threads in the center.
-
-
-
Clean the oil filter location in the engine with a clean rag.
-
Screw the oil filter back on by hand.
-
Tighten it firmly by hand only.
-
-
-
Change the copper seal on the cap with a new seal each time you drain the oil because it gets crushed.
-
Check carefully that the new seal is identical (inner diameter, outer diameter, etc.)
-
If necessary you can also replace the cork by a new one.
-
-
-
Once the oil has completely drained, screw the oil pan plug back on with its new gasket.
-
Using the Allen key, tighten the crankcase plug.

Spray brake cleaner to clean oil traces on the crankcase and around the oil filter location.
-
-
-
Return the vehicle to the ground on a level surface.
-
Open the filler cap engine oil.

Pour the oil, you can use a funnel so as not to overflow.
-
Go gradually, you must not exceed the MAX oil volume.
-
-
-
With the vehicle flat, carry out an initial gauge to check that the oil level is above the minimum notch (green arrow).
-
Once the oil level is above the minimum, run the engine for one minute and then let it sit for a few minutes before checking again.
-
Repeat the operation until you obtain the correct oil level.
-
The level should not reach the maximum (red arrow) but 2 millimeters below.

Indeed on 106/saxo on the latest models because of ecology, you can have a paper filter under a plastic bell on the right side of the engine block and not a screwed metal cartridge like here.
You will need to access it from above with a 28mm socket and an extension and ratchet wrench. Once the socket is pushed onto the bell (hexagonal imprint) all that remains is to loosen and pull it from above, be careful, oil will flow.
Remove the filter from the bell and put the new one with the new oiled O-rings including the one for the bell thread. Then tighten moderately and that's it. (Check that the edge of the bell must come into contact with the support into which it screws, otherwise it is not tight enough and it will leak). Have a good trip...
Note: there are 2 different types of filters: The cartridge as in the tutorial and the paper filter as shown at the top of this page, access is then from above, and the method is slightly different
Depending on the drain plug model, you may need a Peugeot drain key with an 8mm square end, not an Allen key.
Nice tutorial otherwise!
