Tools
1. Jack stands - 140 NIS
2. IKEA - TROFAST - Storage box, green ~15 NIS
3. IKEA - CHOSIGT - Funnel, set of 2, assorted colors ~5 NIS
4. ACDelco ARM602-4 Torque adapter - 300 NIS (optional)
And here we go!
1. Remove filter (put paper towel around before).
2. Unscrew oil cap.
3. Clean both places, cover both holes with something to keep clean from dust.
4. Go below, put oil pan (storage box).
5. Unscrew drain plug.
6. Let it drain out for a while, at least 10-15 min.
7. I had 0.5L of oil in old canister, so I filled it in washing out more dirt oil.
8. Now prepare new filter, tap gaskets with oil and install. Torque moment up to 25 Nm.
9. Screw in new drain plug, torque moment is 30 Nm.
10. Top new oil using funnel periodically check for level with dipstick (top, wait for 1 min, check). 3.6L required by the specs.
11. Clean with soft paper all places and check for leaks.
12. Startup engine and check for leaks.
13. Perform test drive, shut down engine, wait for 3-5 mins and check for leaks again.
14. Done!
I hooked up with VCDS while topping oil monitoring fill level and temperature.
And did test run while monitoring.
Blue - oil level, mm
Green - oil temperature, grad C
Purple - coolant temperature, grad C
Orange - engine RPM
Yellow - vehicle speed, km/h
After engine was shut off, oil level sensor displays ~79mm and on dipstick it's in the middle of min and max. I run out of new oil can because I waited for about an hour while old oil was draining out - doing other stuff.
Now need to return old oil gently collected in old canister to somewhere. It was fun, saved a money (about 300 NIS for labor) and got new experience. Engine runs smooth, I felt better response on gas pedal after change - true.
Few more shots
Oil spot quick check (photo taken after 10 mins)
Filter housing. Note small spots on the right side. Not a mud, just some sticked oil like sludge but very easy dissolves when touched.
Oil level sensor from Hella. Costs ~$85. Check Hella PDF below if interested.
