Typically, automotive oil protects internal engine components that rub against each other during operation. Due to the reduced frictional force, the parts do not wear out as quickly.
Of course, a lot also depends on the type of composition, which can be characterized by different operational parameters and is suitable for certain load or temperature conditions of the main unit. Thus, an urgent question arises for the owners of the VAZ 2109 - which oil to choose?
Knowing what kind of oil to pour on the VAZ 2109, the motorist will significantly extend the life of the car engine.

Types of oils

All motor oils have different preparation methods, viscosity grade, energy-saving parameters and purpose. When buying oil, you need to take into account the recommendations of the manufacturer of a particular brand of vehicle.
Which composition is more suitable for a sultry summer?

Mineral oil

Mineral motor oils have such significant advantages:

• cheapness and availability;
• good viscosity and temperature characteristics.

In addition to the above advantages, there are also important disadvantages, namely:

• it has to be changed frequently;
• insufficient protection of critical parts is not provided if experimental loads are envisaged.

Note! If the VAZ 2109 car is of considerable age and does not imply frequent driving, this option is great for the summer period.

Synthetic oil

Since the 2109 is often subject to significant stress, a synthetic compound is more suitable to reduce wear on the motor.
Advantages:

• the degree of viscosity is much lower than that of mineral oils;
• maximum temperature spread;
• lasts longer and does not require frequent replacement.

Note. Perhaps the only drawback will be its considerable price, but it is fully compensated by the good performance of the motor, as well as excellent preservation.

Semi-synthetic oils and hydrocracking

In the case of a semi-synthetic oil, the base is synthetics, combined with components of mineral origin. Due to this feature, the indicators of the mineral composition increase.
As for the price category, the cost of such an oil is much lower than the cost of classical synthetics. As for hydrocracking, this motor oil is a worthy alternative to simple mineral water.
Its cost is about the same, while the characteristics of the composition are much better. Despite this feature, you will have to do it often.

Where to choose

Even in the summer period in the northern regions of the country, the air temperature is not always high, therefore, synthetic oils with a viscosity equal to 5W-40 / 5W-30 are advised to be poured into VAZ 2109 cars that do not have engine oil preheaters.

Note! If the engine is physically outdated or the car has existed since the times of the USSR, it is not advised to fill in pure synthetic oil.

This feature can be explained by the fact that all slags accumulated in the motor during the entire period of use will dissolve, which will lead to fogging of the motor. In addition, all deposits accumulated on the channels of the lubrication system will be washed off.
As a result, oil starvation can occur.

Note! It is not advisable to pour synthetic oil of the 5W-40 or 5W-30 type into a VAZ 2109 car with a worn out engine, since the gaps in the cylinder-piston group are relatively increased. Excessive waste oil consumption may occur. In other words, the compound will be discharged from the exhaust pipe.

Oil for new cars

5W-40 or 5W-30 is a good synthetic oil with excellent viscosity parameters. Such oils are ideally resistant to oxidation, they can be used in engines operating under heavy loads or in the hot season.
On this basis, there is no need to frequently change the oil.
If there is a need to reduce the load on a brand new "nine" motor, it is better to purchase a synthetic oil of the 5W-40 / 5W-30 type, which has:

• reduced fluid friction;
• a high viscosity index, due to which the load is removed from the battery and the starter (see) when the engine is turned on.

Which oil will be better

So:

• Amsoil Professional Oil is an excellent synthetic engine oil that can handle a variety of tasks, even in situations where it has been around for a relatively long time. It is worth noting the 0W-30 oil series, which is ideal for a hot summer.
• Castrol Edge with Syntec Technology is more suitable for new cars. This oil is suitable for those car owners whose cars have mileage indicators that exceed the average.
  This compound does not need to be changed frequently and provides adequate protection against wear of the parts. The organic combination of the additive with a standard synthetic composition is also appreciated at its true worth.
  This combination provides the ability to reduce friction, conserve fuel and improve engine performance.
• Mobil 1 oil is perhaps the most famous oil used by the large automobile concerns Porsche and Mercedes. The reason for this popularity lies in the superior performance and life extension of the automotive engine.
  Despite the existing advantages, not all car owners will be able to afford this luxury.

Note! It is necessary to choose motor oil for VAZ 2109 cars, based on the recommendations of the manufacturer or the advice of a master. The main thing is to ensure the normal operation of the engine and protect parts from rapid wear.

Changing engine oil is easier than choosing it, if the procedure is performed for the first time, it is enough to watch a video and a photo once, and you do not have to go to a service station, you can really do everything with your own hands without anyone's help. Also, the provided instructions and advice on the selection of engine oil will not be superfluous.
Since this is an indispensable and important composition for the normal functioning of the engine and the entire car system, it is recommended to buy good quality oil, the price of which cannot be underestimated.

One of the main components of any car is its engine. In many ways, its service life affects the reliable operation of the entire vehicle.
It is possible to increase the service life of a VAZ 2109 car engine by providing high-quality lubrication of the device. For this, in addition to using good oil, it must be replaced on time.

The following factors influence the oil change interval:

• Duration of vehicle operation.
• Modes of its operation.
• Engine condition.
• Seasons of car use.
• The brand of engine oil filled in the engine.
• The intensity with which the machine is operated.
• The quality of the fuel used.

How to change the oil in a VAZ 2109 car

There are three main types of engine oil for car engines:

• Mineral... It has a high viscosity, most often requires replacement, the price is the lowest.
  It is desirable to change this type of liquid after 4000 kilometers.
• Semi-synthetic... Has a lower viscosity, in cold weather the engine can be quickly warmed up, protects parts from mechanical damage.
  It is recommended to change the oil in the VAZ 2109 engine after 6,000 kilometers.
• Synthetic. The most modern, expensive, with good protective properties of the elements of the device against wear and mechanical damage.
  It can be replaced after more than 8,000 kilometers.

Filling only high-quality oil into the engine. Run-in should be performed strictly according to the manufacturer's recommendations.

What increases the durability of the engine oil

Advice: Changing the oil in the engine in a VAZ 2109, for a recently released car from the assembly line of the plant, is carried out according to the manufacturer's recommendations.

So:

• If the car is purchased from another owner, it is better to change the oil. Replacing the engine oil with a VAZ 2109 is performed after flushing the engine with a special solution or with that oil, which will then be filled.
  A new oil filter is being installed
• It is necessary to change the oil even after a long time without using the car. During this period, when the engine does not work for a long time, condensate collects, mixing it with a lubricating liquid leads to a deterioration in the properties of the latter and, as a result, increased wear of parts.
• You can not start abruptly from a place, strongly accelerate the car.
• It is advisable to use your own type of oil in each period of the season - summer and winter.
• Use only high-quality fuel when filling the car. Dirty fuel residues do not completely burn out and clog the oil.

Changing the oil in the engine of a VAZ 2109 car

Changing the engine oil to a VAZ 2109 can be done in one of the following ways:

• Without flushing the engine before adding new oil.
• Flushing device... In this case, the flushing liquid is poured to the lower mark of the dipstick, the engine starts and runs for ten minutes at idle.
  Then the oil must be drained.

Oil change procedure

To start work, you need to purchase: high-quality oil, oil filter, air and fuel filters. If necessary, special flushing oil.
The instructions for changing the oil in the engine indicate that it is better to drain it from a preheated car engine.
So:

• Changing the engine oil of a VAZ 2109 is more conveniently performed on an inspection pit or overpass. You can park the car on a level place, jack up the front of the car, be sure to put reliable supports under the wheels.
• A container is inserted into which the used oil is drained.

Tip: It is advisable to remove the cap from the oil filler neck. In this case, the drainage of the liquid is improved.
This is due to the lack of vacuum in the upper part of the engine.

• The drain plug on the crankcase is unscrewed. The place of its installation is indicated by an arrow in the photo.

• The oil is drained.
• The drain plug is installed in place.
• The oil filter is unscrewed with a special key. If there is no key, you can use a screwdriver.

• The O-ring on the new filter is lubricated with engine oil.
• The new oil filter is screwed on without the aid of a tool.

Tip: Before installing a new oil filter, it is advisable to fill in half of the engine oil in order to avoid creating an air lock.

• If the oil filler neck was closed with a cap, it must be removed. To do this, turn it counterclockwise by ninety degrees.
• Fill in new oil. The process is carried out slowly, which is explained by the high viscosity of the liquid and its slow drainage from parts and rise in the engine housing.
• The dipstick checks the fluid level in the engine. It must be at least the minimum mark.
  If the level is below this mark, the oil must be topped up.
• The engine starts, runs for several minutes until the oil pressure indicator light goes out. The oil level is checked again.

How to properly change the oil in the VAZ 2109 engine with your own hands, the video on the Internet will show with all the details.

The main component of the vehicle is the internal combustion engine. Its service life is largely dependent on regular maintenance. To extend the life of the power unit, you need to think about changing the oil in the VAZ 2109 engine.

When to change?

The car manufacturer provides a replacement schedule. According to the official document, an oil change must be carried out once or twice a year or every 10-15 thousand kilometers. From time to time, the oil is checked, its condition and color. If it is unsatisfactory, it must also be replaced.

Additional signs of the need for replacement:

• Year of manufacture of the power unit;
• Vehicle mileage;
• Vehicle operating style;
• Seasons in which the vehicle is operated;
• Fuel quality;
• Engine loads (long idling, slipping and towing).

The color of the oil liquid is black, and the viscous and elastic parameters are lost? In such a situation, the liquid changes regardless of the timing. This is done to maintain power and extend the service life.

Oil selection

How to choose the right oil? Such liquids are divided into three main types:

• Mineral oil;
• Synthetics;
• Semi-synthetics.

Mineral car oil is not suitable for VAZ 2109. Such a lubricant will not meet the requirements if the vehicle is operated in difficult conditions.

Semi-synthetics are used for VAZ 2109 ... The basis of the liquid is mineral oil with the addition of synthetic components. This allows it to reliably cope with the protection of the internal surfaces of the motor and reliably protect it from excessive wear.

Synthetics are created with high performance in mind. It protects the power unit from wear and tear by efficiently lubricating the internal mechanisms, even at the time of a cold start. Synthetic components reduce friction and keep internal parts clean.

But there is another type of car oil - all-season. This is ideal for the VAZ 2109. Suitable for the Russian climate. In the winter season, the liquid does not thicken, and in the heat it does not liquefy much. The main viscosity parameters for the motor of this vehicle: 5W-40, 10W-40, 15W-40.

Do-it-yourself oil change in a VAZ 2109 engine

Required tools and materials:

• Set of wrenches;
• Screwdriver (slotted and Phillips);
• Waste oil container;
• Overalls;
• Fresh lubricant;
• Flushing liquid (if necessary).

The volume of oil in the engine according to the operating instructions is 3.5 liters. In practice, it only holds 3 liters. It is recommended to pour semisynthetics or synthetics of popular brands (Castrol, Shell). It is possible to use domestic analogues at an affordable cost.

To properly drain the oil, the engine must be warmed up before replacing.

Oil change for VAZ 2109 carburetor and injector

Replacing the oil liquid with a VAZ 2109 carburetor and injector does not require special knowledge from the car owner. The oil change procedure is the same for both the carburetor and the injector:

1. Warm up the engine. Hot oil is less viscous. This allows it to merge more quickly and efficiently into the container.
2. Park the vehicle on a flat surface, apply the handbrake.
3. Remove engine cover (if present).
4. Place a container for the used oil liquid under the engine crankcase and unscrew the drain plug with a 17 mm wrench.
5. Wait 10-15 minutes. The oil will drain into a prepared container.
6. While the grease is being drained, dismantle the oil filter for replacement. A special wrench or screwdriver is used. A new filter element is being installed.
7. Is the oil completely glass? Screw the drain plug back on.
8. Pour some motor oil into the new filter. Wipe off the sealing gum with a rag. Reinstall the filter. Twisted by hands.
9. Fill in engine oil through the filler neck. It is located on the engine. Pour gently, slowly.
10. Pour in about 3 liters of liquid. Wait until it spreads through the internal mechanisms.
11. Slowly add another half liter of motor oil. Simultaneously check the oil level through the dipstick. If the system has not been flushed, then, as a rule, less than 3.5 liters of oil will enter the engine.
12. Screw on the cap, start the combustion engine in neutral. Wait 5 minutes. During this time, all channels and the oil filter are filled with fluid.
13. Shut off the power unit. Recheck the oil level. Top up if necessary.
14. Check the system. There should be no leaks or other traces of oil.

Changing the oil in the VAZ 2108 engine

Changing the oil in a VAZ 2108 engine is no different from replacing a car oil in a VAZ 2109. These cars are equipped with the same carburetor and injection engines. Therefore, the replacement process is the same as described above.

The choice of oil in the VAZ 2108 should be left to domestic manufacturers. Good quality, reasonable price and uptime are the basis for selection. Recommended viscosity 5W-40, 10W-40, 15W-40.

Replacement frequency

As already mentioned in the article, the oil change in the VAZ 2109 engine is carried out every 10-15 thousand kilometers.

How often is an oil change required in practice? In difficult Russian conditions, it is necessary to change the oil once every 7-8 thousand kilometers. In addition, the regularity of checking the oil level should be carried out every 1000 kilometers.

Untimely replacement of the car oil negatively affects the performance of the power unit.

Consequences of untimely replacement:

• Rotation of connecting rod bearings;
• Wear of turbocharger parts;
• Wear of engine parts.

The oil fluid does not have time to lubricate the engine mechanisms when driving in urban conditions at a short distance. As a result, after a short time, the effectiveness of the additives decreases. Do-it-yourself oil change according to the instructions described in the article can be done without problems.

The question of where to fill the engine oil in the VAZ 2109 is obvious to every car owner who understands at least a little about the motor device. You just need to unscrew the oil filler cap (shown in the picture above) located on the top of the engine housing.
It opens by turning it ninety degrees counterclockwise. Oil is poured into the engine through the opened neck.
A more difficult question, which not everyone can answer - what kind of oil to pour into the VAZ 2109 engine. As well as how much it will be required.
Our article will help you deal with all these difficulties in order.

What kind of oil to pour

Everyone knows that the heart of a machine is its motor (engine) and that this unit requires special attention. The quality of the oil used largely determines its service life.
Therefore, let's start with the most important question, what kind of oil to fill in the VAZ 2109 engine? Of course, every owner tries to use the expensive.
Although now, due to the large number of fakes, a high price does not always mean proper quality. The use of low-quality oils (and lubricants that do not meet technical conditions) leads to increased wear of engine parts and its premature failure.
How to determine the most suitable in a huge variety of brands and companies of motor oils, what you should pay attention to when choosing:

• First, you should familiarize yourself with the recommendations of the car manufacturer. Carefully study the machine's service book to understand which oil the manufacturer recommends for this engine and its viscosity.
• If your car already has good mileage, then you need to know the degree of wear of engine parts, and what kind of oil was used
• For example, if in, where the mineral oil is poured, for several years, microcracks in the engine gaskets are filled with deposits, during the operation of the machine they are not washed out
• However, when replacing mineral with synthetic, with higher penetrating and cleaning characteristics, such deposits are washed out, and flowing oil comes out through these microcracks, and your engine suddenly starts to "sweat"
• The golden mean between mineral and synthetic oil is semisynthetics
• Meanwhile, the concept of "semisynthetics" is not available anywhere except in Russia.
• Often this type of lubricant is obtained from "mineral water" by hydrocracking, which significantly improves its characteristics.
• The main advantage of semisynthetics, first of all, is the price
• In addition, for a motor that has worked on mineral lubricants for many years, the transition to semi-synthetics will not be particularly critical (unless, of course, the oil was of decent quality)
• The next criterion for choosing a lubricant is its viscosity, which characterizes the ambient (air) temperature in winter when starting the engine and the temperature in summer at the highest load.

How to choose the right lubricant with the right viscosity value:

• Today in the world there is a standard SAE classification, according to the level of viscosity.
• The SAE marking contains the most complete and concise description of all properties of oils
• They are divided into winter classes (0W-20W), as well as summer (20-60)
• The viscosity grade is indicated by a double number
• In which the first digit denotes the dynamic viscosity at subzero winter temperatures, at which easy engine start-up is guaranteed
• The second digit means the kinematic and dynamic viscosity of the grease at 100 ° C and 150 ° C in summer.
• The SAE classification informs the consumer about the data of oils that have a maximum operating temperature at which the engine can be cranked by the starter without any problems, and pumps the lubricant when the engine cold starts without friction to dry in its rubbing units
• Lubricants with a viscosity of 50-60 are intended for powerful motors, as well as for motors that already have a decent mileage (over a thousand kilometers)
• Synthetics in such engines will constantly flow through oil seals, gaskets and other seals due to their increased fluidity.

What else does the owner of the VAZ 2109 need to know, which oil to fill, taking into account today's specifics:

• The motors that are currently installed on many VAZ models are very different from those that were installed earlier.
• The main features are an injection fuel supply system and equipping cars with a system of neutralization (afterburning) of exhaust gases, which meets the requirements and standards of "Euro2"
• Because of this, fundamentally new (increased) requirements for the properties of lubricants began to arise.
• Therefore, at the end of the 90s, the manufacturer AvtoVAZ made special amendments to its own system of standards and tolerances for lubricants, which was developed back in the 70s.
• Taking into account the specifics of the "VAZ" car park, the Scientific and Technical Center "VAZ" has developed a two-stage system of standards for engine oils
• There are now two main classes - Super "and" Standard "
• "Standard" is recommended for use in engines "classic", which was released no later than 1.10.2000
• According to the API classification, "standard" oils are classified as SF class, which is now mainly associated with mineral products, as an example - "TNK Motor" (SAE 10W-30 or 15W-40 and 20W-50)
• For the VAZ-2108 .. -1111 models and VAZ cars produced later than 1.10.2000, "Super" class oils are recommended, corresponding to the properties of SG
• Oils of the "Super" class are also recommended for cars produced at Zaporozhye and Lutsk and factories in the same period
• For example: in the assortment of the most widely represented TNK Super oils there are TNK Super semi-synthetics (corresponding to SAE 10W-40 and 5W-40) and TNK Super mineral water (corresponding to SAE 15W-40)
• They are recommended for use in injection engines equipped with systems for neutralizing exhaust (exhaust) gases.
• In 2003 TNK Super oil underwent repeated technical tests, as a result of which it was approved for use in the latest car models with a replacement frequency of 15 thousand kilometers.
• This means that the "service life" of the "Super" products is significantly increased, therefore they provide reliable operation more than other greases with the usual 8-10 thousandth mileage between shifts.
• However, it is imperative to take into account such factors as: the quality of the fuel used, the operating mode of the engine, the pollution of the roads, as well as the ability of the filter elements of the machine to work more than 10 thousand kilometers
• Now, when it becomes clear for VAZ 2109 - VAZ 21093 which oil to fill, we turn to the questions of when and how much.

When to fill

The replacement times are specific for each motor, the type of lubricant and operating conditions are different, therefore it is different for each car manufacturer, plus the mileage before the overhaul of the engine is of great importance, so we take on average:

• Under standard operating conditions of the car, the lubricant should be changed every 10 thousand kilometers.
• In Russia, it is better to reduce the interval between replacements to 7-8 thousand, since the operation of transport, according to the experience of many motorists, is in difficult conditions
• It is imperative that when changing the oil, change and

Determine the amount of lubricant required for filling

To determine the amount of oil in the engine, there is a special dipstick - a meter, which is located in the middle of the cylinder block on the right side, as shown in the photo.

To add (pour) lubricant into the motor, you need to have on hand:

• Fresh engine oil with a viscosity that meets the specifications for your engine
• A filling funnel, which can be replaced by a cut-off plastic bottle
• Clean rags

Helpful hints:

• To reliably determine the amount of oil in the engine crankcase after a trip, you must turn off the engine, let the oil drain into the sump, after waiting 5-10 minutes
• If adding grease, use the same brand and company that was poured into the engine when changing
• It is not permissible to exceed the level above the maximum mark on the dipstick - gauge in order to avoid leakage through the seals and gaskets, and increase the flow rate
• Take the level measurement with the machine on a level, level surface.

Execution order

In order not to be mistaken, and not to overfill above the required level, and thereby not create unnecessary problems with the motor, you should check the lubrication level on the dipstick, as the instructions and the tips given just above read:

• Remove the dipstick from the motor and wipe the surface with a clean cloth, then reinsert it
• Remove the dipstick again, the oil level in the engine should be between "MIN" and "MAX"
• If its level is lower, then top up to the required level.

Marks of the minimum and maximum permissible level on the dipstick - meter

• Remove the cap from the oil filler neck
• Insert a funnel into the neck and add oil, periodically checking its level with a dipstick
• To check the level correctly, let us drain for 2-3 minutes after refilling.
• If suddenly the level after refilling exceeds the "MAX" mark, it is necessary to remove excess grease
• This can be easily done with a medical syringe, putting on a flexible tube, inserting the syringe tube into the hole of the probe, and pumping out the excess.
• In winter, do not use a lubricant with a viscosity higher than necessary in the engine, otherwise it will be difficult to start the engine in cold weather.

Now, questions like how much oil to fill on the VAZ 21093 have disappeared by themselves, we add it according to the level and, when changing, we fill it in according to the enclosed operating instructions for the machine. In addition, you can easily pour the required amount into the motor with your own hands.

Is flushing necessary when changing the lubricant in the motor

The last question that arises before any car owner when changing lubricant is whether flushing is needed.
Flushing is required:

• If you do not know which oil was used during the previous change or forgot
• If you decide to change the brand
• If the waste drained from the motor is heavily contaminated

In other cases, flushing is a personal matter for each owner. It has its pros and cons.
The pluses include:

• Removal of soot, carbon deposits and deposits from the lubrication system, as well as wear products from parts that cannot be washed out by oil
• Cleaning from the previous grease protects the new one from precipitation and loss of properties in case of incompatibility with the previous brand

Minuses:

• Flushing is not all washed out of the engine, its remnants dilute the new lubricant, from this it loses a little in properties

Therefore, the best flush is a lubricant that you will use later, although it can be expensive to use as a flush. Flushing usually requires motors with high mileage.
That's all, the question on the VAZ 2109 is where to fill in the oil once and for all, I hope. If you forgot something or don't quite understand, read it from the beginning or watch the video.

To keep the engine running reliably, efficiently and for a long time, it is extremely important to monitor the quality and quantity of oil in it.

For VAZ 2109, the recommended engine oil change frequency is 10 thousand kilometers. But you need to focus on your specific situation. Practice shows that replacement is sometimes carried out much more often.

Reasons for replacement

There are conditions that must be adhered to so that the lubricant present in the engine system performs its protective functions, and turns into the cause of the failure of the power unit.

There are several basic points when an oil change should be done.

Cause	Explanation
	Each part has its own operational life, during which the spare part works out the available resource. It is not worth using further oil, which should have been drained long ago. Otherwise, it may cause serious engine problems.
Change of seasons
Change of brand of grease	If you want to change to a new brand of lubricant, the old oil must be completely removed from the system. In no case should you mix oils of different brands, even by brand.
Difficult conditions	If the car is regularly operated under increased load, the oil change is carried out more often than the recommended frequency.

Regardless of the recommended replacement times, always pay attention to the current state of the engine lubrication. Various factors can serve as premature oil wear, therefore it will have to be replaced earlier. Plus, additionally eliminate the reasons due to which the lubricant did not work out its due date.

A more viscous lubricant is used for the summer than for the winter. With prolonged operation in the engine, it loses its properties, additives, particles of shavings from rubbing engine parts begin to adversely affect its condition. Over time, if the lubricant is not changed, this can lead to the need for an overhaul of the power unit.

A little about oil

Before proceeding with the replacement procedure, you need to find out what and in what quantity should be poured.

In VAZ 2109 cars, usually from 3 to 3.5 liters of lubricant are poured into the engine. At the same time, it is recommended to purchase a container of 4 liters, so that during operation you have the opportunity to top up the lubricant used.

Periodically check with a dipstick at what level the grease is. Optimally, the oil trace on the dipstick remains between the maximum and minimum marks. Golden mean. Filling above the maximum mark is not worth it, exactly, as well as driving with insufficient lubricant.

We have decided on the volume of oil. And what exactly should it be?

If we take into account the issue of quality, a synthetic lubricant would be the best solution for the VAZ 2109. But it is the most expensive. Semi-synthetics are more affordable, but the quality characteristics are lower. If finances do not allow at all, you can get by with mineral oil. But it is better not to skimp on such a question.

Under no circumstances mix different brands of oil, and when replacing, first flush the system with a flushing compound, then fill in a new fluid.

Replacement

Now we start directly to work. There is nothing difficult here, so even a beginner can cope with the task.

1. Prepare in advance a container where you will drain the used lubricant from the engine. A regular 5 liter plastic bottle is fine. Plus, you need a funnel to avoid overshooting and spilling oil on the floor.
2. Warm up the engine. On a hot engine, the oil becomes less viscous, which allows it to more efficiently and quickly exit the system when draining.
3. Park the machine on a level surface, engage the handbrake.
4. Proceed to remove the old grease. For this, the motor protection is removed, if any.
5. Place a container for draining under the oil pan and unscrew the drain plug with a 17 key.
6. Do not forget that the oil is hot, so unscrew it carefully in order to avoid burns.
7. After removing the drain plug, wait about 10-15 minutes for all the oil to drain into the prepared container.
8. In parallel with changing the engine oil, it is recommended to change the oil filter. This can be done while the grease is being drained. The filter is unscrewed with a special wrench or a screwdriver, breaking through the body. In its place, a new oil cleaner is installed.
9. When the grease is completely drained, replace the plug.
10. Pour some oil into a new filter. This must be done in several approaches so that the element has time to absorb the substance. Fill about half of the filter level, that's enough.
11. Be sure to oil the sealing gum of the filter and wipe it dry with a dry cloth at the seat of the filter device. Put the filter back in place, tighten it by hand.
12. Next, you need to either simply fill in fresh oil, or flush the system. Nowadays, in any auto parts store, you can find a variety of rinsing products. Take one of them and follow the instructions. Once rinsing is complete, you can refill with new grease.
13. To fill, open the cover on the motor and start gradually pouring liquid through the funnel.
14. Fill in about 3 liters and wait for the grease to distribute through the system.
15. Add 500 ml more fluid gradually. In parallel, check the amount of oil in the crankcase using a dipstick. If you have not flushed the system, you will probably have to fill in a little less than 3.5 liters. This is due to the imperfection of the drain system.
16. Make sure that the dipstick shows the mark between the maximum and minimum lubricant levels.
17. Screw the cap back on, start the engine and let it idle for a while. This will allow the fluid to fill the filter and channels.
18. After starting the engine, the red oil pressure indicator light will come on. After 10 seconds it will go out. If the lamp does not go out, most likely you have screwed on the filter poorly. Check it out.
19. Stop the engine, take the dipstick again and check the actual level of lubricant in the crankcase. If necessary, add a little liquid to the optimum level.
20. When completing work, be sure to check the system for traces of oil leaks. If the guard was removed, put it back in place.
