Hiya,

I've got an oil change coming up on my car but I was looking to do it myself. Does anyone have any guides that are applicable to 'D' range.

Many Thanks.

Take a look on:-

You will see where the oil filter housing is located.The element is replaced by unscrewing the large diameter black cap on top of the housing.
With your car on ramps,you will see a removable flap in the underbody plastic shield,that is where you get access to the sump plug.
