Steps
Check the starting oil level
Park on level ground and use the vehicle display to check the current oil level. Note any warning before draining so the post-service reading can be compared.
Raise the vehicle and drain the oil
Raise and support the vehicle securely, remove the undertray fasteners, and place a drain pan under the sump. Remove the drain plug and allow the oil to drain fully.
Replace the filter element and seal
Open the filter housing and remove the used element. Replace the cap O-ring, install the new filter, and refit the housing, tightening it to the manufacturer's specification.
Reinstall the drain plug and undertray
Install the drain plug with the correct seal and tighten it to specification. Refit the undertray and verify all fasteners are secure before lowering the vehicle.
Refill with specified oil
Add the oil grade and quantity specified for the engine through a clean funnel. Reinstall the filler cap and start the engine briefly to circulate oil through the new filter.
Verify the level and inspect
Shut off the engine and follow the dashboard procedure to read the oil level. Adjust if needed and inspect the drain plug and filter housing for leaks.
Check your vehicle’s repair manual for exact specifications and fit.
