1. Before you begin this procedure, prepare all the necessary tools and materials, as well as rags and old newspapers to wipe up spills. It is better for the engine oil to be warm, this will allow it to drain faster and remove more sediment with the oil. When working under the car, do not touch hot engine parts. To protect yourself from possible oil contact with your skin, work in gloves (refer to the accompanying illustration).
2. Set the handbrake, then jack up the front of the car and place it on axle stands. Loosen the mounting screws and remove the plastic protective cover from underneath the engine.
3. Remove the oil filler cap.
4. Using a wrench, loosen the drain plug approximately half a turn. Place a drain container under the drain plug and unscrew it completely (refer to the accompanying illustration). Remove the sealing washer.
5. Allow the oil to drain. Note that you may need to move the container when the oil drains into a thin stream.
6. After the oil has drained, wipe the drain plug and sealing gasket with a clean cloth. Inspect the sealing gasket and replace it if it is damaged or worn. Clean the area around the drain hole and install the plug and gasket. Tighten the plug securely.
7. Move the container under the oil filter, which is located on the front of the cylinder block.
8. Use a special tool (refer to the illustrations), to loosen the filter, then unscrew it by hand. Drain the oil from the filter into a container.
9. Use a clean cloth to remove any oil and dirt that has settled around the area where the filter attaches to the engine. If the rubber sealing ring of the filter remains on the engine, carefully remove it.
10. Take a new filter, lubricate its sealing ring with clean oil and install the filter on the engine. Tighten the filter by hand - do not use any tools (refer to the accompanying illustration).
11. Install the protective cover and tighten the mounting screws securely. Remove the drained oil and all tools from under the car, then lower the car to the ground.
12. Fill the engine with the correct grade and type of oil through the filler hole in the camshaft cover. First, pour in half the required volume of oil and wait a few minutes to allow the oil to drain into the pan. Add oil in small portions until its level reaches the lower mark on the dipstick, then add approximately 1 more liter so that the level rises to the upper mark on the dipstick.
13. Start the engine, let it run for a few minutes and check for leaks around the oil filter seal and the oil pan drain plug. Note that the low oil pressure warning light may take a few seconds to go out to allow the oil to fill all the passages and the new oil filter.
14. On diesel models with a turbocharger, before starting the engine, perform the following procedures:
- a) Disconnect the electrical wiring from the fuel shut-off valve on the fuel pump and insulate the connector.
- b) Test the engine with the starter until the oil pressure warning lamp goes out (this may take a few seconds).
- c) Connect the wiring to the fuel cut-off valve, then start the engine.
- d) With the engine idling, check the turbocharger oil and coolant connections for leaks.
15. Turn off the engine and wait a few minutes for the oil to drain into the pan. Recheck the level and add oil as needed.
