A detailed look at changing the oil and filter, applies to any normal/older car with a spin-on filter and no electronic requirements
필요한 것
-
-
Collect the tools you'll need
-
Drain bolt wrench, drain-pan, jack, jack-stands, rags, filter-pliers, cardboard, funnel, gloves
-
For Subaru specifically, I'll be using a black Tokyo Roki LFS706 factory filter, sold by a Subaru as part # 15208AA100 with a new crush washer
-
-
-
Jack up the front of the car from the centre jack point if you have a hydraulic jack
-
Put jack-stands under pinch welds before gently lowering the car onto them
-
Check the stability of the stands before getting under the vehicle
-
-
-
Check your drain pan is empty and clean it out as required
-
Raise the hood/bonnet and open the filler cap to assist draining
-
Place the drain pan under the car
-
-
-
Climb under the car using your cardboard or a creeper
-
Remove the drain bolt slowly, adjusting the catch pan as it starts to flow to avoid spillage
-
Wait for the oil to flow from the engine
-
-
-
-
Clean the bolt
-
Remove the old crush washer if you have a new one
-
Fit the new crush washer onto the bolt
-
Clean the bolt mating flange on the cars oil pan
-
Put the bolt back into the engine and tighten to the suggested spec
-
-
-
Carefully adjust the now-full catch pan under the oil filter
-
Remove the old oil filter, using pliers or a wrench if required
-
I like large oil filter pliers, as they can be used also for brake jobs
-
The filter will be full of oil so place on your drain pan or carefully upright if your pan has no place for it
-
After the car mounting flange stops dripping a lot, prepare the new filter with a smear of oil on its gasket
-
Wipe down the mounting flange on the engine, and screw on the new filter by hand, 3/4 of a turn past when it touches the gasket
-
-
-
Carefully slide the now-full catch pan from under the car
-
Lift the car slightly and pull away the jack stands
-
Carefully lower the car to the ground
-
Push the front of the car down a few times to reset the suspension
-
-
-
If your drain pan has gradations you can guess approximately how much oil to put in
-
Or if your manual has a listing
-
My car takes AROUND 4.5 litres
-
Using a funnel, pour in 3.5 litres or so
-
Check the dipstick with your rag
-
Fill until near top of range on dipstick
-
Re-check there are no loose tools or rags in the engine bay, and start the engine for 10 to 20 seconds
-
-
-
After running the car for a few seconds, turn it off
-
Check the level again
-
The oil filter should be full now, so the level might be lower
-
Top up as required
-
Check under the car for leaks
-
-
-
If you used all your oil you should be able to use the empty bottle to put the used oil in
-
Funnel and lots of patience to transfer the oil from the catch pan to the empty bottle
-
You can drop off the old oil at car part places or some mechanics
-
Run the car around the block or so to get a temperature cycle and recheck level and leaks
-
DONE
-
Remember to check for leaks
