PERFORMANCE ORDER

1. Install the car on the flat horizontal platform (see rice. Removal of a stopper from a maslozalivny mouth).

2. Uncover a maslozalivny mouth.

3. Weaken a drain stopper approximately on a half of a turn (see rice. An arrangement of a masloslivny stopper on the engine 17 DT). Place a container for discharge of oil under a drain stopper and unscrew a stopper completely. If it is necessary, press a stopper when you unscrew that oil did not proceed prematurely.

4. When oil completely flows down, move a container under an oil filter.

5. Use the special tool to weaken an oil filter, then unscrew it a hand.

6. Wipe all traces of oil and dirt around the place of fastening of the filter. Check whether there was no rubber consolidation on the block of cylinders. If it remained, then remove it.

7. Grease with a thin layer of engine oil rubber consolidation of a new oil filter and screw up the filter a hand, without using any tools.

8. Establish a wheel and lower the car on the earth.
