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.
1. Loosen the drain plug about half a turn using a special square wrench. 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. Remove the O-ring from the drain plug.
2. When the oil is completely drained, wipe everything around the drain hole with a rag and screw the plug securely.
3. Use the special tool to loosen the filter, then unscrew it by hand. Pour the old oil into a container.
4. 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.
5. Lubricate the rubber seal of the new oil filter with a light coat of engine oil and screw on the filter by hand without using any tools.
6. Park the vehicle on a level, level surface.
7. Remove the dipstick to measure the oil level, unscrew the cap from the filler neck. Fill with oil using the correct grade of oil. Pour in half the required amount of oil and wait a few minutes for the oil to drain into the sump. Then continue adding oil in small increments until the oil level reaches the minimum level on the dipstick. When adding about 1 liter more oil level will rise to the maximum on the dipstick. Close the filler cap.
8. 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. Be aware that the oil pressure warning light may stay on for several seconds as oil must fill all channels and oil reservoirs in the engine.
9. Stop the engine and wait a few minutes for the oil to drain into the sump. Check the oil level and top up if necessary.
