The oil in the car must be changed according to the operating instructions for your car model. Only the engine manufacturer will provide accurate recommendations on oil change intervals and the grade of oil required. In most cases, the instructions indicate a certain interval or mileage, after which an oil change is required.
Necessary
- - key for the oil filter;
- - wrench;
- - oil filter (new);
- - a container for draining the oil.
Instructions
Step 1
A qualified auto mechanic or you personally can change the oil in the car, if you use our tips. This operation can be performed without a lifting device. Follow the sequence of actions when changing the oil in the car.
Step 2
For safety reasons, put the handbrake on the machine. Lift the front of the car half a meter (so that you can lie freely under it). Lock the rear wheels with cinder block or bricks.
Step 3
Take a pallet, wrenches, and other necessary tools and, in a supine position, sit under the car. Screw the cap in the oil reservoir with a wrench, substitute the prepared container and let the old oil drain. Remove the oil filter by unscrewing it with a special wrench. Carefully screw the plug into the crankcase. Screw it tightly so that the oil does not leak.
Step 4
Before installation, fill the new filter with fresh oil by about?, To impregnate the filter element. Install the prepared new oil filter. Lubricate the rubber seal with oil (it is near the thread) and screw in the new filter tightly.
Step 5
To fill the car with oil, open the hood, unscrew the cover on the engine, which has the inscription "oil" and fill in the required amount of new oil, approximately 5 liters. Screw the cap back on tightly.
Step 6
Start the engine and, without turning it off, inspect the underside of the machine. Make sure there are no oil leaks. If you find traces of oil leakage, check that the plug and the oil filter are screwed on tightly. If these steps do not work and oil continues to flow, contact your auto mechanic. If there are no oil leaks, turn off the engine and check the oil level (if necessary, add oil to the correct amount).
