A well done tutorial. It would be necessary to add the case of the paper oil filter in the plastic bell and especially how to remove the filter from the bell.

As for me, the part that holds the filter in the bell broke... a bell to change...

Thanks for the info

To reset the oil change interval, position yourself at the driver's seat and hold down the (000) button on the display using your left hand.

Turn on the ignition and wait for the countdown to end 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 = 0 while maintaining the pressure, turn off the ignition then turn it back on, your display will indicate your next service in 20,000 km.
