Note: If you do not have a special key and the filter cannot be unscrewed by hand, punch a screwdriver through the filter housing and use it as a lever.
Replacement frequency: every 15,000 km.
Before installing the oil filter, it is recommended to fill it with engine oil.
Engine oil type: "LUKOIL-Arctic" (5W-30, 5W-40; SG/CD); "YAR-Marka Super" (5W-30, 5W-40; SG/CD); "Novoil Synt" (5W-30; SG/CD); "ESSO ULTRA" (10W-40; SJ/SH/CD); "ESSO UNIFLO" (15W-40; SJ/SH/CD).
It is best to drain the oil after driving, while the engine is still warm. If the engine is cold, start it and warm it up to operating temperature (coolant temperature 80°C on the temperature gauge).
Place the vehicle on a level horizontal surface or over a drainage ditch.
We recommend adding the same brand of oil that was in the engine. If you decide to change the brand of oil, flush the engine lubrication system with flushing oil or oil of the brand that will be poured into the engine. To do this, after draining the old oil, pour in new oil to the lower mark of the oil level indicator (dipstick). Start the engine and let it run for 10 minutes at idle speed. Drain this oil and only then replace the oil filter. Now you can pour in new oil.
Caution: Do not pour used oil onto the ground.
1. Place a container underneath to catch the used oil, unscrew the drain plug on the crankcase and drain the oil. Then screw the drain plug back in.

2. Unscrew the oil filter with a special key (see note).
3. Lubricate the O-ring of the new filter with engine oil.
4. Screw in the new filter by hand without using a tool.
5. Turn the oil filler cap 90° counterclockwise and remove it.
6. Fill with new oil, checking its level using the indicator (dipstick).
7. Remove the pointer (dipstick), wipe it with a clean cloth, and re-insert the pointer (dipstick) until it stops. Remove the pointer (dipstick). The oil film level on the dipstick must be between the "MIN" and "MAX" marks. If the oil level is close to or below the "MIN" mark, top up the oil.
8. Then start the engine and let it idle for a few minutes. Turn off the engine, check the oil level and add oil if necessary.
