Changing the oil filter
| Fig. 1.48. Location Oil Filter: A - petrol engine; B - diesel engine

Remove the filter housing (Fig. 1.48). For some models, the engine may need a special key to the cap holder. Clean sealing surface of the filter with a clean cloth. Remove from the mounting surface of the engine old rubber gasket. Lubricate the rubber gasket of the new filter with engine oil. Install the new filter and tighten it to a light resistance, then tighten another 2/3 turn. Start up the engine. Look at the place of installation of the filter for leaks. In severe operating conditions (city traffic, dusty roads, etc.) it is recommended to change the oil every 6,000 km or two years of operation.
