Note. In severe operating conditions in a large city or very dusty area, change the oil and oil filter element every 10,000 km.
You will need: engine oil, oil filter cartridge, clean rag, container (at least 5 l) for draining oil, TORX key T45, socket «at 24», knob, hinged extension.
Note. The manufacturer recommends using ACEA A3 / B4 or A3 / B3 engine oils of at least quality level, viscosity grade SAE 0W-30, 0W-40, 5W-30 or 5W-40. When choosing oil, use fig. 1.

Helpful Hints:
- Drain the oil after driving while the engine is still warm. If the engine is cold, start and warm it up to operating temperature.
- Fill with the same brand of oil as the oil that was in the engine. If you still decide to change the brand of oil, flush the lubrication system with flushing oil or oil of the brand that will be used. To do this, after draining the old oil, fill in new oil to the lower mark on the dipstick. Start the engine and let it idle for 10 minutes. Drain the oil and only then replace the oil filter element. Now you can fill in new oil to the required level (up to the top mark on the dipstick).
Attention! Do not dump used oil on the ground.
1. Remove the crankcase protection (see Removal and installation of mudguards and engine crankcase protection).
2. Clean the engine oil drain plug with a wire brush and then with a rag.
3. Unscrew the drain plug, after substituting the container for the drained oil..
4.... and drain the oil.
Attention! Be careful: the oil is hot!
5. Close the cap.
6. Remove the oil filter cap..
7.... and remove it together with the filter element.
Note. The oil filter is installed on the front of the engine block in the region of the 4th cylinder.
8. Remove the filter element from the cover, rinse the cover with gasoline from deposits and dry.
Attention! Note the position in which the filter element was installed in the cover in order to install the new element in the same way.
9. Prying with a screwdriver..
10.... remove the rubber sealing ring from the cover.
Note. Be sure to replace the sealing ring with a new one, it is included in the filter element kit.
Pay attention to the marking of the filter element. Get a new item with the same marking.
11. Install the oil filter element in the reverse order of removal.
12. Remove the oil filler cap.
13. Fill with clean engine oil (see Checking the level and adding oil to the lubrication system).
14. Wait 3-5 minutes to allow the oil to drain into the crankcase, remove the pointer (probe) oil level.
15...wipe it with a clean cloth and reinsert it.
16. Remove the pointer again (probe). The oil film level should be between the two marks on the end of the dipstick. If the oil level does not reach the lower mark, add oil.
17. Add oil to the engine, controlling its level with a pointer. Before removing the pointer, wait 2-3 minutes to allow the oil to drain into the crankcase.
18. After the oil level reaches the required level, tighten the filler cap.
19. Start the engine and let it idle for a few minutes (the signal lamp for the emergency drop in oil pressure should go out 2-3 seconds after the engine is started). While the engine is running, check for oil leaks from under the drain plug and oil filter cap. Stop the engine, check the oil level, add oil if necessary, tighten the plug and filter cover.
20. Install the crankcase protection (see Removal and installation of mudguards and engine crankcase protection).
