Under severe operating conditions such as short trips, frequent cold starts and very dusty roads, the oil and filter should be changed more frequently.
Caution: Never throw away used oil or dispose of it with normal household waste.
Drain
Warm up the engine (oil temperature +60°С).
Note: The oil can also be sucked out with a probe through the hole for the oil level indicator.
Raise the vehicle horizontally. Remove the lower protection of the engine compartment. Substitute a container to collect the old oil.
Unscrew the oil drain plug and completely drain the old oil
Screw the plug firmly with a new gasket without applying excessive force.
Tightening torque for a 4-cylinder engine: 30 Nm, 5-cylinder - 40 Nm.
Install the lower engine compartment guard.
Lower the car.
Remove oil filter. In workshops, a special tool is used for this. You can also use a contact belt. You can also stick a pointed screwdriver into the side of the oil filter. In any case, when unscrewing, oil flows out to substitute a vessel.
Filling
When installing, observe the instructions on the oil filter.
Clean the oil filter flange with gasoline.
Lightly grease the rubber seal on the oil filter.
Screw on the new filter by hand.
Fill in new oil through the filler neck in the cylinder head cover.
The difference between the Min and Max marks on the oil level indicator is 1 liter.
After a test drive, check the oil drain plug and oil filter for leaks and tighten if necessary.
When changing oil, always use the same type of oil, and if possible the same brand. Therefore, it is advisable to attach a plate with oil parameters to the engine.
The use of oils of different types is undesirable. Also, if possible, mixing oils of the same type, but different brands, should be avoided. Engine oils of the same type and brand, if necessary, can be mixed without subsequent topping up.
