Helpful Hint: In severe operating conditions in a large city or a very dusty area, change the oil and filter every 10 thousand km.
You will need: engine oil, oil filter, cleaning cloth, container (at least 5 l) for draining oil, wrench «at 17», a special wrench for unscrewing the oil filter.
Helpful Hints: 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 flushing 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 (between marks «MIN» And «MAX» on the dipstick).
Warning: Do not dump used oil on the ground.
1. Clean the drain plug of the engine oil sump with a wire brush and then with a cleaning cloth.
2. Unscrew the drain plug, after substituting a container for the drained oil...
Note: The plug is sealed with a copper washer. If the washer is severely crimped, be sure to replace it.
3....and drain the oil.
Warning: Be careful: the oil is hot!
4. Close the cap.
5. Remove the oil filter with a special wrench and remove it.
Use a wrench to unscrew the oil filter. If there is no such wrench or similar puller, pierce the filter housing with a screwdriver and, using it as a lever, unscrew the filter. Punch the filter as close to the bottom as possible so as not to damage the fitting. You can also use a strip of coarse sandpaper folded in half, wrapping it around the filter and moving it out of place with your hands.
6. Fill the new filter 1/3 full with oil.
7. Lubricate the O-ring 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.
8. Remove the oil filler cap.
9. Fill with new engine oil
10. Replace the oil filler cap.
11. 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.
