2.4.1. Engine oil and filter replacement

THE GENERAL DATA

PETROL ENGINES

Frequent replacement of engine oil and filter replacement – the most important part of service. At old engine oil there are dissolved particles and pollution that leads to premature deterioration of the engine.

Before oil replacement it is necessary to warm up the engine to working temperature as it considerably raises fluidity of oil and promotes full removal of old oil from the engine. At oil plum to be careful, as following oil has a heat.

The prevention

On models since 1994 the specified interval for this procedure – 15 000 km or 12 months.

For unscrewing of a drain stopper of the pallet it is necessary to use a square wrench with the party of a square of 8 mm.

PERFORMANCE ORDER

1. To establish the car so that a drain stopper was in the lowermost point. 2. To weaken a drain stopper approximately on half of turn, to place the container for merged oil under a drain stopper, then to unscrew a stopper completely. 3. To give the chance to flow down some time to the fulfilled engine oil. In process of running off of oil the container gradually to move to an oil stream. 4. To clear a drain stopper a pure rag. To remove from a stopper old ring consolidation and to establish the new. To clear a stopper installation site on the pallet. 5. For filter replacement to establish the container under the oil filter which is located on the forward party of the block of cylinders below a final collector. 6. A special key for the oil filter to unscrew the used filter. 7. To clear a connection surface, to grease with fresh oil a rubber lining and to screw in the new filter. 8. Довинтить the filter a hand (according to the instruction on its installation, applied on the filter). 9. To fill in fresh oil, observing its correct level. 10. To start the engine and to allow to work some minutes, then to check up leaks round the oil filter and a drain stopper of the pallet. The prevention After engine start the control bulb of pressure of oil will burn some time, while the pump not закачает fresh oil in a highway. 11. To switch off the engine and to wait some minutes, that engine oil has flown down in the pallet then repeatedly to measure level of oil and, if necessary, to add oil.

DIESEL ENGINES

Level check

Oil level it is necessary to check each 500 km of run, and also before each trip on the big distance. The car should stand on a flat place, the engine should be cold or, at least, not work some minutes.

PERFORMANCE ORDER

1. To take and wipe dry the index of level of oil. 2. To insert the index against the stop, to take it and to read oil level. 3. If necessary it is necessary to add oil so that not to exceed a maximum level. The prevention The stopper of a jellied mouth for oil in the middle has an aperture for the index and provides its correct position. This stopper is fixed by two elastic captures.

Oil replacement

Oil replacement is made, when the engine warm. The first time oil is replaced after run from 1500 to 2500 km, the second – after run of 10000 km, the subsequent replacements – each 10000 km.

PERFORMANCE ORDER

1. To turn off a stopper (V) plum of oil (a square the party of 8 mm) and to merge oil (F – the oil filter). 2. To twirl a stopper oil plum, having put a new lining. This stopper is necessary for twirling in appropriate way, without applying the big force. 3. To fill in fresh oil so that not to exceed a maximum level on the index of level of oil.

Replacement of the oil filter

The first time the oil filter is replaced after run from 1500 to 2500 km, the second – after run of 10000 km, the subsequent replacements – each 20000 km.

PERFORMANCE ORDER

1. A special key for the oil filter to unscrew the used filter. 2. To clear a connection surface, to cover with oil a rubber lining and to twist the new filter. 3. Докрутить the filter a hand (according to the instruction on its installation, applied on the filter). 4. To fill in fresh oil, observing its correct level.
