Before starting this procedure, gather together all the necessary tools and materials. It is necessary that the engine be warm in order for the oil to drain better along with the bulk of the contaminants.
Order of execution
1. Raise the car on a lift or place the car in a horizontal position above the inspection hole.
2. Loosen the drain plug about half a turn. Place an oil drain container under the drain plug and unscrew the plug completely. If necessary, press down on the plug when unscrewing to prevent the oil from leaking prematurely.
3. When the oil is completely drained, wipe everything around the drain hole with a rag and screw the plug securely into place, tightening it to a torque of 30 Nm for 4-cylinder engines and 40 Nm for 5-cylinder engines.
4. Move the container under the oil filter.
5. Use the HAZET special tool 2171-1 to loosen the oil filter, then unscrew it by hand.
6. Wipe off all traces of oil and dirt around the filter attachment. Check if the rubber seal is left on the cylinder block. If it remains, then remove it.
7. Lubricate the rubber seal of the new oil filter with clean engine oil and screw in the oil filter by hand until the rubber gasket touches the engine, then tighten the filter by hand 1/2 turn.
8. Remove the cap from the oil filler neck.
9. Fill the engine with oil using the correct grade of oil. Fill in half of the required amount of oil and wait a few minutes for the oil to drain into the sump, then continue to add oil in small portions until the oil level reaches the maximum level on the dipstick (c). If the oil level is at the minimum level (a), adding approximately one liter more oil level will rise to the maximum level on the dipstick. Close the filler cap (b - normal level).
10. Start the engine and let it run for a few minutes. Check it for oil leaks around the filter and drain plug on the pan. Keep in mind that the oil pressure warning light may be on for several seconds as the oil must fill all channels and oil reservoirs in the engine.
11. Stop the engine and wait at least 3 minutes for the oil to drain into the sump. Check the oil level and top up if necessary. Check the tightness of the oil drain plug.
