Change the oil in the Niva engine
The frequency of oil change in the Niva 21213 (21214) engine and other modifications is at least once every 15 km. This is the period that Avtovaz's regulations assume. But it is best to do this at least once every 000 km, or even 10 km.
In order to change the oil in the Niva engine, we need:
- Fresh oil canister at least 4 liters
- Funnel
- new oil filter
- a hexagon for 12 or a key for 17 (depending on which plug you have installed)
- filter remover (it is possible without it in 90% of cases)
First of all, we warm up the car engine to a temperature of at least 50-60 degrees, so that the oil becomes more fluid. Then we substitute the drain container under the pallet and unscrew the cork:
After all the mining has been drained from the engine sump, you can unscrew the oil filter:
If you decide to change mineral water to synthetics, then it is advisable to flush the internal combustion engine. If the type of oil has not changed, then it can be changed without flushing.
Now we twist back the sump plug and take out a new oil filter. Then we pour oil into it, about half of its capacity, and be sure to lubricate the sealing gum:
And you can install a new filter in its original place, it is advisable to do it quickly so that excess oil does not flow out of it:
Next, we take a canister with fresh oil and, after unscrewing the filler cap, fill it to the required level.
It is better not to pour out the entire canister at once, but leave at least half a liter, and top up only after making sure that the level is between the MIN and MAX marks on the dipstick:
After that, we twist the neck cap, and start the engine. For the first couple of seconds, the oil pressure light may be on, and then go out on its own. This is normal and there is nothing to worry about! Do not forget to replace on time - this will extend the life of your engine.
