You'll need a 10mm socket and an 8mm allen key for the oil.

Remove the 10mm bolts holding the splash guard covering the bottom of the sump,
then use an 8mm allen key to undo the sump plug.

a 27mm socket with extension will be needed to get to the oil filter. I didn't have a socket so i 3d printed one.
You'll need to remove part of the intake near the battery to get to it, one of the most awkwardly place oil filters ever.

sizes could be different because mine is an Australian model, but in theory should be the same.

^As Cameron says, but dont forget to get a new sump plug washer. Its like crushable copper, and costs less than £1 on ebay- i got several

Thanks Cameron & Chris_Blue its taken 12 months to get the info that was required, the dealer would not give any help at all, at least I can carry out my own service and yes I use TOTAL OIL even though i had to go 200klm round trip so i got 4 x5 ltrs containers, as for dealer service, my ds3 came without the metal foot rest
I was told to go to the parts department the dill in the glove box managed to open his lap top only to advise that they are only available on LEFT HAND DRIVE & are
not available for R/H drive, I got mine a week later on ebay, we had some words and I suggested that we go out side and have a coffee, needless to say he no longer works at that dealership, neither does the service manager, have no idea why they departed possibly because at my first service the ds3 was serviced with
Standard oil no brand, just its the right oil, I don't think they will come back and have another coffee.

Wishing you popped by a year ago then

Use a funnel for the oil fill... nothing worse than oil spills over the engine, and then when it warms up gets all smelly
