Open the hood

Locate the filler cap

Open the filler cap

Locate the drain plug under the car at the oil pan

Just above you can see the oil filter

Place a reservoir under the drain plug

Unscrew the oil pan screw (14 socket)

Let the oil flow

Once no more drops fall you can replace the cap by screwing it to 30Nm

Change the cap seal

Unscrew the filter (often possible by hand, otherwise using a wrench)

Compare the two filters

We can see that they do not have the same outside diameter but the diameter at the joint is identical

Put oil on the new seal to prevent it from drying out.

Refit the filter in place of the old one, tightening by hand.

Using a funnel, pour the oil through the engine filler cap

Quantity: 3.6L

Using the dipstick, check the oil level

The first time you fill the level will necessarily be a little high since the oil filter is empty, start the engine for 1 to 2 minutes then recheck the levels.

The ideal is between the minimum and the maximum.
