- First, ensure the engine of your MG6, MG3, or other MG models is cool before removing the Oil filter base screw (OE# CAM5331). This reduces the risk of burns from hot oil.

- Clean the area around the Oil filter base screw thoroughly. Dirt and debris can enter the engine when the screw is removed, causing potential damage.
