Note. In severe operating conditions in a large city or a very dusty area, change the oil and filter every 7-8 thousand km.
You will need: key «on 10», engine oil, oil filter, clean rag, a container for draining oil with a capacity of at least 5 liters, a special wrench for unscrewing the drain plug, a flat-blade screwdriver, a hammer.
Note. Approximately 3.35 liters of oil are needed to replace.
Recommendations. Use engine oil that meets ACEA A2 or A3 or API SJ, viscosity grade 15W40, 10W40, 5W40, 15W50, or 5W50 (depending on climatic conditions).
Note. Drain the oil after driving while the engine is still warm. If the engine is cold, start and warm it up to operating temperature.
Fill with the same brand of oil as the oil that was in the engine. If you still decide to change the brand of oil, flush the lubrication system with flushing oil or oil of the brand that will be used. To do this, after draining the old oil, fill in new oil to the lower mark on the dipstick. Start the engine and let it idle for 10 minutes. Drain the oil and only then change the oil filter. Now you can fill in new oil to the required level (up to the top mark on the dipstick).
Attention! Do not dump used oil on the ground.
1. Clean the drain plug on the oil sump with a wire brush and then with a rag.
2. Unscrew the drain plug, after substituting a container for the drained oil, and drain the oil.
Attention! Be careful: the oil is hot.
3. Close the cap.
Note. The plug is sealed with a copper washer. If the washer is heavily compressed, be sure to replace it with a new one.
4. Remove the oil filter with a special key and unscrew it by hand.
Note. If you do not have a special key, then you can unscrew the filter in the order described below.
Remove the three nuts securing the exhaust manifold heat shield...
...and take it off.
Punch the oil filter housing with a screwdriver and, using it as a lever, remove the filter from its place. Punch the filter housing as close to its bottom as possible so as not to damage the fitting in the cylinder block.
Unscrew the filter and remove it.
5. If the O-ring of the new filter is not factory-treated with grease or talc, lubricate it with clean engine oil and screw the filter back into place (by hand without tools) 3/4 turn from the moment of contact of the ring and the flange of the cylinder block.
6. Turn counterclockwise and remove the oil filler plug...
7....then fill with clean oil (see «Checking the level and adding oil to the lubrication system»). Reinstall the oil filler cap.
8. Start the engine and let it idle for a few minutes (the signal lamp for the emergency drop in oil pressure should go out 2-3 seconds after the engine is started). While the engine is running, check for oil leaks from under the drain plug and oil filter. Stop the engine, check the oil level, add oil if necessary, tighten the plug and filter.
