GENERAL INFORMATION

Tools necessary for replacement of oil and oil filter

1 – the flat wide container for oil plum
2 – rubber gloves for an exception of hit of hot oil on hands
3 – the extended key handle
4 – a key for unscrewing of a masloslivny stopper
5 – a special key for unscrewing of an oil filter
6 – the special key for unscrewing of an oil filter established on back part of the filter

Periodic replacements of oil and the filter – the most important preventive procedures of maintenance. When engine oil grows old, it becomes liquid and polluted that conducts to premature wear of the engine.

Before this operation gather all necessary tools and materials. It is necessary that the engine was warm in order that oil flew down together with bulk of the polluting substances better.

PERFORMANCE ORDER
1. Lift forward part of the car and record on supports.
2. Unscrew a drain stopper approximately on a half of a turn. Place the container for oil plum under a drain stopper and unscrew a stopper completely. If it is necessary, press a stopper when unscrew that oil did not proceed prematurely.
3. When oil completely flows down, wipe everything round a drain opening a rag and reliably screw up a masloslivny stopper.
4. Install the container for the merged oil under an oil filter and, using the special tool, weaken the filter, then unscrew it a hand.
5. Wipe all traces of oil and dirt round a place of fastening of the filter. Check, whether there was no rubber consolidation on the block of cylinders. If it remained, remove it.
6. Grease rubber consolidation of a new oil filter with pure engine oil.
7. Screw in a hand an oil filter to a contact of rubber laying with the engine then dovintit the filter a hand on 3/4 turns.
8. Install the car on an equal horizontal surface.
9. Fill in fresh engine oil through an oil-filling mouth.
10. Close a cover of a maslozalivny mouth, start the engine and let's it work some minutes. Check it regarding leak of oil round the filter and a drain stopper on the oil pallet. Keep in mind that the emergency bulb of pressure of oil can burn some seconds as oil has to fill all channels and oil capacities in the engine.
11. Switch off the engine and wait some minutes that oil flew down in the pallet. Check the level of oil and add if it is necessary.

Prevention

If at the fulfilled engine oil there is a metal shaving, it usually indicates wear of radical or shatunny bearings of a cranked shaft.
