Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather necessary tools and parts.
• Disconnect the negative battery terminal to avoid electrical issues.
• Ensure the engine is cool before starting work.

2. Change Engine Oil and Filter

• Sub-steps:
  1. Remove the oil drain plug and allow the old oil to fully drain.
  2. Replace the oil filter with a new one.
  3. Reinstall the oil drain plug and tighten to the manufacturer’s specification (usually around 25 Nm).
