Oil replacement in the engine can be made independently or at the oil change point. The procedure is unpretentious, but still you should remember some rules when replacing. When choosing oil, you should come from the brand of your car and its run, in more detail about the brands of oils here.
And this article will show the process in the pictures. And plus you can see everything at the end of the article.
So you chose and purchased oil and oil filter. It should be noted that the filter is changing (some motorists cannot unscrew the filter and leave the replacement for the next time).
Earth of the oil, it is better to start with the weakening of the oil filter. If it turns out with hands, then it is good, and if not, we will use a special tool. Just pull the filter dry.
Choose a platform and rush the car. It is necessary to make a car so that the drain plug plug is at the lowest level.
Do not forget about safety.
We put on the ground under the drain plug of the pallet, the container that has worked out.
Next, climb under the car and twist the drain plug plug. Please note that hot oil is better drained, but at the same time do not burn.
So that the oil merges faster and more as much as possible, open the pouring cover of the valve cover.
After the oil is completely leaked, unscrew the oil filter.
Wipe the place for the filter with a cloth.
Next, twist the new filter. See that the filter sealing ring does not fall (which is far from rare). To do this, you can “share” it with a lithol or engine oil. Also note that the filter should be spinning freely. If he began to twist with difficulty, then most likely, you began to tighten the “crop”.
Next, twist the drain plug plug. Here also pay attention to the sealing ring of the cork (it is copper or aluminum).
We lower the car to the wheels.
Through the flood neck of the valve cover, pour oil. The level of oil can be slightly above the maximum, subsequently it will go into the filter.
Dalle, without starting the car, check the engine with the starter before the oil pressure lights.
Now we finally bring the oil level, close the valve cover and you can start the engine. But take your time to go. Once again you leave the car and see if there is no oil leakage in the oil filter and drain plug area.
Bottom line: regardless of whether you change the oil in the engine yourself or on the service, always check the engine for leakage.
