   Had a look at the oil and its quite a brown colour so think a oil change is on order... Where is the oil filter located and is it metal or paper? A guide would be great...

   The filter is down to the right of the manifold, will look like a black plastic lid with a hexagon on top. All you need is a 27mm socket on extension with a ratchet and then undo the filter, with a drain bowl underneath! Its a paper filter, cheap as anything to get from citroen. Then just drop the oil out the bottom, do the sump up and put the new filter in, fill it up with oil and your done!
   
   Hope this helps!

   ^^ Thats for a 98bhp model. Then the 90bhp filter is slightly further down and can be just twisted out by hand. Then your new filter just twists on.
