How to use
Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and the engine is turned off and cooled down before starting the oil change.

Replace the oil filter if necessary, reinstall the drain plug securely, and remove the oil filler cap. Pour the appropriate amount of SHELL ESSENTIAL 5W-40 Synthetic Engine Oil into the engine using a funnel, check the level with the dipstick, and secure the cap.
