I recently bought a used Vauxhall Zafira Life and I'm not sure how to change the oil. Can someone walk me through the steps?
ReplyFirst, make sure to gather all the necessary tools and materials. You will need an oil filter wrench, a new oil filter, a drain pan, and the appropriate type and amount of new oil. Once you have everything ready, start by locating the oil filter and drain plug underneath the car.
Use the oil filter wrench to remove the old oil filter in a counterclockwise motion. Be careful not to spill any oil, as it can be hazardous to the environment. Next, use a wrench to loosen the drain plug and position the drain pan underneath.
Allow the old oil to drain completely, then carefully remove the drain pan and dispose of the old oil in an environmentally friendly way. Replace the drain plug and insert the new oil filter. Wipe down the area to remove any excess oil, and then add the appropriate amount of new oil to the engine.
