Solution

1. Preparation

• Tools Required: OBD-II scanner, multimeter, socket set, torque wrench, oil catch pan.
• Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and the engine is cool.
• Disconnect the battery to prevent electrical shorts.

2. Change Engine Oil and Filter

• Sub-steps:
  1. Place an oil catch pan under the engine.
