When the oil has drained out put the bolt back in and tighten it.  Remove the old oil filter (consult manual for location). You may be able to remove it by hand, or if not use the filter wrench to just loosen it enough for hand loosening.

The new oil can now be added using a funnel or pouring directly from the bottle. Check the manual to see the capacity of your engine. Replace the oil filler cap. When you’re finished back the car off the ramps before starting the engine.

Start the engine and make sure no oil leaks from beneath the vehicle and check all the major fluids to makes sure they are working as well. Transmission fluid must be checked with the engine running.

Write down the mileage and date at which you have just completed your oil change and check the oil level immediately after the engine is switched off. Top up the oil if required.

Over the next few weeks keep an eye on the oil pressure gauge on the dashboard and regularly check the oil level with the dipstick to make sure nothing is leaking.

Recycle your used oil at the nearest recycling centre.
