Good evening and thank you. I successfully changed my oil thanks to you on my 2011 Megane ESTATE.

I just made a substantial saving. It was a first for me, oil change, oil filter, air filter: 1H30. (except for the oil change key problem)

1: you are absolutely right to unscrew the oil filter first (contrary to many tutorials seen elsewhere). In my case, it was recalcitrant, so I had to use a wrench. (present in the OSCARO universal kit)

2: order in addition to the universal drain kit available on oscaro, a 10 square key to unscrew the drain plug. The corresponding key in the universal kit is not suitable. (personally: I had to go to the green light, so reattach the crankcase and lower the vehicle, then reassemble the vehicle, and re-dismantle the crankcase…. time wasted if I had known before, price of the square key €6….).

3: my oil gauge, in yellow plastic, is difficult to read… so 4.5L and white tape on the gauge to be sure = OK.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.
