I asked the same question a few weeks ago.

Hopefully these pics will help too

Slide the seat back.
Remove the centre console, this is done by unscrewing the plastic screws (arrowed) one is under the ashtray.



Remove console.
Lift the carpet at the front of the seat and undo the 2 clips (arrowed)



Undo the 3rd clip, which in under the carpet near the hand brake, the seat will now tilt back.


This will give you access to the engine bay, the same is done for the drivers side too.



I suggest if you are going to put oil in use a funnel with a tube.

Was just going to answer that, but three cheers for Mikey for going out with the camera & dismantling his Bongo.
