2. Before starting work, make sure that you have everything you need for this. Also, have plenty of rags or old newspapers ready to clean up spills. It is desirable that the engine be warm before draining the oil. Warm oil pours out faster, and also better takes out all the dirt and deposits that have accumulated in the sump. But be careful - the exhaust system can be quite hot. To sew up hands from burns, as well as from exposure to used oil, it is recommended to perform this work with gloves. It is more convenient to work by placing the car on a flyover or inspection hole, or lifting it with a hydraulic lift. In the absence of such devices, you can do this job by simply jacking up the car and placing reliable supports under it. In any case, the car must be in a horizontal position so that the drain plug is at its lowest point. If necessary, remove the crankcase protection from under the engine. On models with a booster between the lower arms of the front suspension, access to the drain plug is opened through window 8 of the booster panel, closed by a damper (pic. 3.2).
3. Find the oil filter in the engine compartment. It is located on the left side of the engine crankcase, in front of the intake manifold.
4. Place more rags under the filter to prevent spilled oil from spreading on the floor.
5. Special or universal belt wrench (pic. 3.5, a-c) unscrew the filter cover and remove the replacement cartridge.
6. Remove the O-rings from the cover.
7. Use a clean cloth to wipe the mating surfaces of the housing with the filter cover.
8. Put new O-rings on the cover (pic. 3.8).
9. Lower the new cartridge into the filter housing.
10. Moisten the O-rings of the filter cover with engine oil and screw in the cover. If there is a special key for the cover, tighten the cover with a torque of 25 Nm. If there is no such key, securely tighten the cover with a strap wrench.
11. Under the car, unscrew the drain plug of the pan by half a turn (see fig. 3.2). Place a suitable container under the drain hole, then completely unscrew the plug. When the cork is almost turned out, press it up against the pan and turn it all the way out, and then sharply pull your hand with the cork away from the hole. In this case, the oil will pour into the container, and not into your sleeve.
12. Remove the o-ring from the plug.
13. Let the used oil drain into a container. As the pressure of the oil jet decreases, the container may need to be moved. Feel the sleeping oil for the presence of metal particles and chips in it.
14. After all the oil has drained, wipe the drain plug with a clean rag. Check the condition of the plug seal. Wipe the area around the drain hole, screw in the plug and tighten it securely (pic. 3.14).
15. Remove used oil and tools from under the car. Lower the car to the ground.
16. Pull out the dipstick, then unscrew the oil filler cap. Fill the engine with the recommended type and quantity of oil. Use a funnel to avoid spilling oil. First fill in half the required amount of oil. Wait a few minutes for the oil to drain into the pan. Continue to add oil in small portions until the oil level reaches the lower mark on the dipstick. Then add oil to the level corresponding to the upper mark on the dipstick. Insert the dipstick and tighten the oil filler cap.
17. Start the engine and let it run for a few minutes. At this time, inspect the disturbed places - the drain plug and filter - and make sure that oil does not flow from under them. If there is a leak, stop the engine and tighten the plug or filter. Be aware that the low oil pressure indicator light on the instrument panel will go out a little later than usual during the first start, as the oil must fill all the channels of the system.
18. Stop the engine and wait a few minutes until the oil drains into the sump, then check its level again. If necessary, add the required amount of oil so that its level reaches the upper mark on the dipstick.
19. Waste oil cannot be used in this state - it must be disposed of or transferred for recovery. Do not dump oil on the ground or down the drain.
