| HI
I have recently bought a zafira Life & i think its a great car. I spent yesterday checking out the car & among the list of things needing to be done is an oil Change. I would like to ask the forum
where is the location of the oil filter?
how much oil is needed. i assume it doesnt require the whole 5L (10w40)
Spark Plug Change-recommendations please. I am inclined to use NGK.
does Fuel filter require change?
Air filter to be changed which looks easy enough.
If someone has pictures that'd be great. | |

| Oil wise you need 3.5 Litres but sorry no idea where the filter is. You should also change the fuel filter which is underneath the car near the rear passenger side wheel somewhere. All very cheap parts. | |

| on daughters 1.6 Zaf B the oil filter is right at the front of engine in plain view and should be easy to grab hold of with hands and turn to undo..as i believe is the 1.8 life..
1.6 life engine needs 3.5 ltrs incl filter
1.8 life engine needs 4.25 ltrs incl filter
GM plugs are cheap and should do a good job too.
