When adding oil to the engine, oil of one specification can be mixed with oil of another specification. If the air temperature is only briefly outside the temperature limits given here, the oil should not be changed.
Attention! Seasonal oils usually cannot be used all year round due to their specific viscosity-temperature properties. Therefore, these oils should only be used in extreme climate zones.
Caution! When using all-season oils of class SAE 5W-30, it is necessary to avoid prolonged operation of the engine at high speed and constant high load on the engine. These restrictions do not apply to all-season oils with improved antifriction properties.
1. Before starting the procedure, gather all the necessary tools and materials together. The engine must be warm so that the oil flows better together with the bulk of the contaminants.
2. Raise the vehicle on a lift or place the vehicle in a horizontal position over an inspection pit.
3. Remove the oil filler cap and place a container under the oil drain plug.
4. Loosen the drain plug about half a turn.
5. Place a container to drain the oil under the drain plug (indicated by the arrow) and unscrew the plug completely. If necessary, press on the plug while unscrewing to prevent the oil from leaking prematurely.
6. Once the oil has completely drained, wipe everything around the drain hole with a rag and screw the plug back in securely, tightening it to the required torque.
7. Move the container under the oil filter.
8. Using a special tool, loosen the oil filter, then unscrew it by hand.
9. Wipe away all traces of oil and dirt around the filter mounting area. Check to see if the rubber seal is still on the cylinder block. If it is, remove it.
10. Lubricate the rubber seal of the new oil filter with clean engine oil and screw the oil filter in by hand until the rubber gasket touches the engine, then screw the filter in by hand 1/2 turn.
11. Fill the engine with oil using the appropriate grade of oil. Fill half the required amount of oil and wait a few minutes for the oil to drain into the pan, then continue adding oil in small portions until the oil level reaches the required level on the dipstick.
12. If the oil level is at the minimum level, adding about another liter of oil will raise the oil level to the maximum on the dipstick. Close the filler cap.
13. Start the engine and let it run for a few minutes.
14. Check the engine for oil leaks around the filter and the drain plug on the pan. It is important to note that the oil pressure indicator light may remain on for several seconds as the oil must fill all the passages and oil reservoirs in the engine.
15. Turn off the engine and wait at least 3 minutes for the oil to drain into the pan.
16. Check the oil level and top up if necessary.
17. Check that the oil drain plug is securely tightened.
