Replacement of impellent oil and the oil filter

Every year

All engines

At oil replacement it is necessary to replace and the oil filter. At operation severe conditions as, for example, frequent short trips, frequent cold starts and operation on dusty roads, oil and the filter replace through each 5000 km of run.

Regular and frequent enough performance of replacement of impellent oil is one of the basic procedures of preventive maintenance of the car, lying within qualification of the average mechanic-fan. Eventually impellent oil is subject to ageing that is shown in gradual it разжижении and pollution, to leaders to premature deterioration of internal components of the engine. In spite of the fact that separate sources recommend to make replacement of the oil filter only at every second change of impellent oil, composers of the present Management consider that in view of relative insignificance of cost of a replaceable component and importance of influence of its condition on serviceability of functioning of the engine and efficiency of its return, it makes sense to change the filter each time at oil replacement.

Make sure available near at hand all materials and the tools necessary for performance of replacement of oil and oil фильтраПриготовьте also enough of rags and old newspapers for gathering of traces of spilt oil. At oil replacement of 1.0 and 1.2 l - the filter and sealing rings for a cover of the filter and be required also a sealing ring from aluminium or copper for a drain stopper (it is sometimes delivered together with the oil filter), a cartridge for the oil filter, and on engines DOHC, at necessity, a drain stopper.

The tooling, necessary for replacement of impellent oil and the oil filter

1 — the Drain capacity - should be superficial and enough wide to reduce to a minimum probability проливания oils on the earth 2 — Rubber gloves - will help to protect hands from burns at inevitable hit on them oils during a reversing of a drain stopper of the pallet картера 3 — the Collar - sometimes the drain stopper appears tightened hardly enough that demands considerable effort at its reversing

4 — the Replaceable face head - is applied together with a collar or the equipped ratchet a drive at a reversing of a drain stopper, should correspond to last on the size 5 — the Tape key - allows to turn out полнопоточный the oil filter in the conditions of the access limited to it 6 — Special накидной the key - is put on an end face of the filter and can then rotate by means of a collar or a ratchet drive, should answer the filter case on the size

For the purpose of maintenance of an easy approach to the pallet картера and to the oil filter lift the car лебедкой, tyre out it on a platform, or поддомкратьте and establish on props.

Do not carry out any works under the car which has been propped up only under a bumper or kept in lifted position only by a jack!

PERFORMANCE ORDER

Get under the car and familiarise with an arrangement of a drain stopper of the pallet картера and the oil filter Remember that the power unit and components of system of release of the fulfilled gases during all time of performance of procedure will remain hot enough, - think over the scheme of safe manipulations with hands to avoid casual contact with разогретыми surfaces. Site of a drain stopper of the pallet картера On petrol engines oil can be pumped out by means of a probe through directing tube щупа oil level. Make sure of horizontal position of position of the car on props or the lift. Warm up the engine to normal working temperature, - hot oil possesses большей fluidity and is better washes away шлам and deposits. Use the compelled idle time to spread out in a convenient order all necessary tools and materials. Muffle the engine and uncover a jellied mouth of impellent oil. Make sure of reliability of fixing of the car in the lifted position. Being careful, get under the car and establish drain capacity under the pallet картера, with that calculation that during the first moment the stream will follow through an aperture with a decent pressure. Trying not to touch to разогретым to surfaces of the power unit and components of system of release, turn out a drain stopper from the bottom part of the pallet картера. Depending on oil temperature, at a final stage of a reversing of a stopper it is possible to take advantage of rubber gloves, or to refuse them. Allow oil to flow down free in capacity, in appropriate way correcting position of last in process of weakening of a pressure of a stream. Check up the churned butter on presence at it of metal sawdust. After oil will stop to follow from картера the engine, carefully wipe a drain stopper and a surface of the pallet round a drain aperture pure rags, - to them can подлипнуть small metal sawdust which will immediately lead to pollution of fresh oil. On all engines, except DOHC 1.0 and 1.2 l, establish a drain stopper with a new sealing ring and tighten it with demanded effort. On the turbodiesel engine of 1.5 l disconnect the tank of a cooling liquid and take him aside. On all engines, except DOHC 1.0 and 1.2 l, Move drain capacity under the oil filter.

All engines, except DOHC 1.0 and 1.2 l

The site of the oil filter is presented. For filter removal it is possible or to use the special tool, or to insert sideways a sharp screw-driver into the filter and to turn out the filter.

Site of the oil filter on engines, except DOHC 1.0 and 1.2 l

PERFORMANCE ORDER

Merge oil from the oil filter in the substituted capacity. Clear a flange of the filter fuel. Remove the consolidation rests. At installation of rubber consolidation on the new filter slightly grease consolidation by impellent oil. Screw the new filter by hand. If filter consolidation lies on the block of cylinders, tighten the filter for a half-turn. Pay attention to the instructions resulted on the filter.

Engines DOHC of 1.0 and 1.2 l

PERFORMANCE ORDER

Turn out a cover of the case of the oil filter a corresponding head Site of the oil filter on engines of 1.0 and 1.2 l After oil will flow down from the filter, take out filtering element. Establish a cover (3) oil filters with a filtering element (1) and a new sealing ring (2) Design of the oil filter Tighten a drain stopper with a new sealing ring with effort of 10 Nanometers.

All models

PERFORMANCE ORDER

At a corresponding complete set establish into place protection картера. Collect traces of the spilt oil, take from under the car drain capacity and tools. Lower the car on the earth. Fill in fresh oil in a reception mouth of the engine, - for the purpose of minimisation of losses take advantage of a funnel. For a gulf about half of demanded quantity, wait for some minutes, having allowed oil to flow down in the pallet, then check up its level on measuring щупу (the Section of Check of levels of liquids see). If level is above the bottom mark, start the engine, having provided circulation of fresh oil (the control lamp of pressure of oil at the first start can go out with the certain delay connected with necessity of filling of volume of the filtering element). Заливание impellent oil in a reception mouth For lifting of level of oil from bottom (MIN) marks on щупе to top (MOVE) is required hardly less than one litre of oil. Having allowed to the engine to work within nearby minute, again muffle it, and at once glance under the car, checking, whether there are no leaks through a drain stopper and полнопоточный the filter. In case of need tighten a component supposing leak a little. During oil circulation on the engine (about 1 minute), there is a filling of the new oil filter. Now it is necessary to check up again level of oil and in case of need to add still its some quantity, having finished level to the top mark in an edge щупа (check make after some minutes after engine deenergizing, - oil should have time to flow down completely in the pallet картера). Surplus of oil pump out, since consolidations of the engine and каталитический the converter otherwise can be damaged. On the turbodiesel engine of 1.5 l establish the tank. During first several trips after change of impellent oil try as it is possible to check its level is more often. The fulfilled butter churned from the engine is not subject to the secondary use and should be handed over on special place of acceptance. At all do not merge working off on the earth or in the water drain - pour it in tightly closed container and at the first possibility hand over. To improve engine service conditions, it is necessary to apply oils of one type and one mark. Therefore at each replacement oil remember or write down its marks and viscosity. Application of oils of various types is not recommended. It is not recommended to mix also some oil of one type, but various marks. Oils of one type and one mark, but various viscosity, if necessary, can be added in system at transition from a season by a season.
