Where is it in the engine bay and is it easy to replace from above?
Also what is the correct engine
oil specification given I don't know if it has the later camshaft?
2021 Berlingo Flair M (K9) 130D
I.T. is there to help, but unforgiving if you make a mistake

The oil filter is quite high up, behind the air intake. You have to take off the air intake pipe to access the oil filter housing. It's a bit tight spacewise but otherwise fairly straightforward. The tightening torque is quite precise (25.5 Nm on my vehicle) and there's not much room to manoeuvre, so I bought a short-handled torque wrench specifically for this job (though the last time I changed the filter, just as the wrench was telling me to stop tightening, I could feel a sudden increase in resistance anyway).
I think a 2021 model would need the new 5W30 RCP oil, but I'd check with a dealer to be certain.
