I've heard that changing the oil on a Vauxhall Grandland can be a bit tricky. Can anyone give me some advice on how to do it properly?
ReplyHi Samantha, changing the oil on a Vauxhall Grandland is not as difficult as it may seem. Here's a quick guide for you:
- Jack up the car and secure it on jack stands.
- Locate the oil drain plug on the bottom of the engine and place an oil pan underneath.
- Carefully unscrew the drain plug and let the old oil drain out completely.
- Replace the drain plug and move on to the oil filter.
- The oil filter is usually located near the oil pan. Use an oil filter wrench to remove it.
- Before installing the new oil filter, make sure to apply a thin layer of oil on the rubber gasket to create a secure seal.
- Once the new filter is installed, you can start putting in the new oil.
- Refer to your owner's manual to find out the recommended type and amount of oil for your Vauxhall Grandland.
- Using a funnel, pour in the new oil through the oil fill cap located on the top of the engine.
- Check the oil level with the dipstick and add more if necessary.
