This video shows you how to change the oil and oil filter in a Holden Captiva 7 2.4L Petrol 2015 model vehicle. Oil changes are similar for most cars so this video could help you even if your car is a different model. Just make sure you check your vehicle manual to get the right oil filter and type of oil that fits your car.

Thank yous so much for your time to give out to people that can save money on paying extra and they didn’t even do the job at all. 😡

I love that you started with how to open the bonnet. I've done one oil change on my Holden captiva under supervision and watching this as a refresher, im fully confifent to do it on my own this time. Excellent explantation. Subbing in hope you do more stuff to your car.

You can pour 300mil of oil out of the 5litre into a clean container and be left with 4.7 in the bottle.

Thanks mate.

Having serious trouble getting the cap off the oil filter in the wife's car. Doesn't seem like any of the sockets can fit in the gap between the cap and the manifold

[@EricBanner571]

Have you done a transmission oil change on the captiva? I don't have a dipstick for the transmission and trying to find the filler location. I have a 2015 captiva 7 CG.

so👍👍👍👍👍

[@peterbrady2165]

Did you start the motor before you checked the oil level. I am trying to find my dip switch and fuel cap on my motor.

[@Joelyabbadoo]

No. The oil needs to be settled in the sump to get an accurate reading.

[@mariestevenson4280]

Looks like the motor needs a clean too

[@curlysunseeker4761]

Could you just remove 300mls from the 5ltr oil bottle and then pour the rest straight into the engine?

[@Joelyabbadoo]

You could. If you know for sure the 5L bottle has exactly 5L in it. But I like to measure mine so I know it's 100% accurate.

Engine is full of dust maybe next video will show how to clean up the engine bay lol

Don't mean to be rude but this is a lazy video and won't work for first timers.
Those two bolts will be so tight that you will need a socket wrench for both. A ring spanner won't work for the sump plug and an adjustable won't work for the oil filter.
Because those two bolts will be tightened to torque spec and very hard to get off.
You will also need to lift the vehicle with either ramps or stands so that you have room to use the socket wrench.
The only reason this works I'd because his bolts are only tightened by hand, which is the incorrect way to do it. The plug and the filter have a number on it and they are supposed to be tightened accordingly.
If you are doing this yourself for the first time you will need:
Oil
Filter
Ramps or stands
15mm socket wrench
32mn socket wrench
Otherwise you'll have a rough time. Also tighten it properly. Use a torque wrench
