In recent years, the mechanics of new cars sold in Spain are characterized by its innovation in terms of reducing the number of emissions of polluting gases into the atmosphere, since they must comply with the regulations established in Euro guidelines of the European Union.
However, these new cars are also characterized by an increase in parts, which is why many mechanics complain that sometimes it is necessary disassemble half a car to carry out maintenance taskssuch as changing a light bulb or the oil filter, as in the case of the video published on TikTok.

In addition, brands advise changing the oil every 10,000 kilometers in cars more than 15 years old old, to prevent future mechanical problems.
Finally, many vehicles have an oil pressure indicator light that notifies us when it needs to be replaced.
