First, gather all necessary tools and materials such as an oil filter, motor oil, and a wrench. Make sure to consult your owner's manual for the specific type and amount of oil required for your Vauxhall Astra.

Next, warm up your engine by letting it run for a few minutes. This will help the oil flow more easily when draining.

Locate the oil pan underneath your car and use the wrench to loosen the drain plug. Once the oil has completely drained, replace the drain plug and tighten it securely.

Now, locate the oil filter and use an oil filter wrench to remove it. Remember to place a drain pan underneath to catch any remaining oil.

Before installing the new oil filter, make sure to lubricate the rubber gasket with new oil. Then, hand-tighten the new oil filter onto the engine.

Finally, add the recommended amount of motor oil to your engine. Use the dipstick to check the oil level and add more if necessary. Dispose of the used oil properly.
