After removing the protection, there is an oil drain plug on the pallet on the right side in the direction of the vehicle (see photo), by unscrewing which we will drain the oil. Prepare a large container in advance, since the M112 engine contains 8 liters of oil, which is quite a lot. In order for the oil to completely glass, it is necessary to wait 10-15 minutes, and also, when most of the engine has already drained, unscrew the oil filter, which is located next to the oil filler neck, after which some more oil will drain.

After all the oil is glass, screw the oil drain plug back. It is advisable to replace the plug gasket to avoid leakage. We tightened the plug, put in an oil filter - fill in the required volume of oil, as a rule for the m112 engine it is ~ 7,5 liters.

Behind it, at the top, you will see a rectangular cover with 2 white latches. The latches must be pulled to the sides, the cover together with the cabin filter will fall down, insert a new filter and do all the steps in reverse order.
