How to change oil and oil filter on the Renault Modus 1.2
So I need to change engine oil and oil filter in my Renault Modus 1.2 16V.
Opening the hood there is no apparent oil filter and perhaps I should try to access it from underneath or perhaps take apart a few parts under the hood for easy access in the engine. Any ideas?
Esta é uma boa pergunta?

Hello fellow reno modus mugs yes I bought one last week even if you go onto YouTube for any information the most you will get is how to change a light bulb via taking the front off the car and taking out the wheel arches, the Renault forums are no different ,apparently you need a special tool to take the filter off and its a problem because there is little or no room , does your drivers door drop and clunk when you shut it ? That's considered normal ,just to get to the front strut you have to take off the bulkhead covers and the complete wiper assembly ,these cars are made for dealer only servicing with inflated prices ,one person was quoted £650 to change the cambelt and water pump ,had I have known this before I would never have bought one !

It's easy change oil filter: pull passenger side front grill out, drill 25-30mm hole in plastic cover behind that grill or mask. Put tree legged oil filter tool in it's place at filter. Then use several long 3/8 socket rods and push them tru that hole. Now it is very easy to remove or turn filter tight with t spanner outside of car front. After that put piece of tape to cover hole, you can use again in next oil filter change. This is fast and easy way to do it.
I have also change cam belt and water pump and that was quite big job to do.
Pasi.
