Car "Renault Daster", oil change by one's own hands: step-by-step description, instruction and recommendations

Any car requires regular technicalservice. One of the most popular operations among MOT is oil change. This procedure is offered on numerous services. But the cost of work sometimes rolls over. But to change the oil in the engine ("Renault Duster" is no exception), and you can do it yourself. For this operation you will need a minimum set of tools. How does an oil change take place on a Renault Duster car? We will tell about this in the article.

How often to change?

Сам производитель «Рено» регламентирует замену oil every 15 thousand kilometers. But it should be borne in mind that the operating conditions in Russia are significantly different from France. Therefore, this parameter can be reduced to 10 thousand. Making an oil change in the "Renault Duster 2.0" with such regulations, you will not face premature engine problems.

Also note that the regulation is affected by the typeoils. So, the mineral changes most often - once every 8 thousand. Semisynthetics - every 10. But the most expensive type of oil (synthetics) is distinguished by the greatest resource - 12-15 thousand kilometers.

What is needed to change the oil on the "Renault Duster"?

First of all, we need to prepare ourselvesbutter. What type to choose, decides the car owner himself. But do not significantly deviate from the recommendations of the manufacturer. The instruction manual states that for the “Duster” one should use the “Elf Evolution 900”.

Oil viscosity - 5w30.How much is needed? It all depends on the type of engine. If this is a 1.6-liter engine, you will need 4.8 liters of oil. In the engine 2.0 fill 5.4 liters. As for the type of product, the manufacturer recommends the use of synthetics. If this is an oil change in the Renault Duster box, you need a “transmission” (Elf Tranself 75W-80 2.8 liters) or ATP-liquid (Elf Renomatic D3) for the mechanical and automatic transmission, respectively.

We also need an oil filter.It changes with every oil change. Manufacturers can be different - here such clear requirements are not regulated. But the filter must have a relief valve. To purchase this item should be considered carefully. A cheap filter will pass through all the dirt and chips, which then clogs the channels in the engine. The presence of such in the internal combustion engine is extremely undesirable.

We also need an oil filter remover. Hands unscrew it is very difficult. The puller looks like this (see photo below).

This can be purchased at any car market for200-300 rubles. Additionally, you need an empty tank for testing, the head "on 13" with an extension and a tetrahedron "on 8". With all of this kit, the oil change for the Renault Duster (1.6 and 2.0) will pass quickly and efficiently.

Getting Started

It is desirable to perform this operation onviewing pit. In the absence of such, we prepare the most flat tank for draining the oil - such that it fits on the ground clearance of the car. Jacking up the car is not necessary (and in the presence of a pit, and not at all necessary).

In the next step, we warm up the engine tooperating temperatures. Especially it should be done in the winter - otherwise the oil will be released only on the next day. On a heated engine, the fluid will be less viscous, which will significantly speed up the process of changing the oil to the Renault Duster.

After that, open the hood and unscrew the protectionfuel rail. Otherwise we will not remove the oil filter. This is done using the key "13" (you will also need an extension cord). The ramp is pulled forward from the inlet pins.

Then we go down and look for a drain plug innear crankcase ICE. It should be square. We take out our tetrahedron and unscrew the cork with it (we protect our hands with rubber gloves). At first she may not succumb. We do not unscrew completely at once - we substitute our capacity under a thin stream. When the tank is exactly exposed above the stopper, unscrew it to the end.

Note!Many Renault Duster SUVs have metal engine protection. When changing the oil, it can create difficulties. If this is a proprietary protection, there will be cork slots in it. When installing a non-factory, you may need to dismantle it completely.

What to do next?After that we wait, while from the engine all oil will not pour out. In order to speed up the process, unscrew the oil filler cap. So we will get rid of the vacuum in the system. After 10 minutes, the liquid will completely go into the tank. The volume of the latter must be at least six liters.

Inspect the cork

While the oil is drained into the container, inspectdrain plug. She is on the "Duster" is equipped with a sealing washer with a rubber gasket. If it is deformed, it is changed to a new one. Otherwise there may be involuntary leakage of oil.

As an analogue, you can use a copper washer with a diameter of 18 millimeters.

We work with the filter

Now we need to remove the oil filter.As we said earlier, this is done with a puller. We grab his "tentacles" for the multi-faceted tip of the filter and unscrew it counterclockwise. Then we finish the element with our hands. It is necessary to remove the filter very carefully - it is completely filled with old oil, which can spill onto the mounted elements of the internal combustion engine (this is especially true for belts). When removing slightly tilt down the structure. In the same position we get it out.

How then is made on the "Renault Duster" oil change with your own hands? At the next stage, we take a clean rag and clean the seat of dirt and drips.

When installing a new filter you need to put a thina layer of oil on its sealing ring - you can touch the end of the old cleaning element. Further effort hand clockwise wraps the element in the engine. Do not make significant tightening and especially do not hold out the new filter with a puller.

We fill in new oil - recommendations and councils

Now the final stage.We twist the drain plug and start pouring new oil through the neck. We do not fill in much at once - we control the situation by probe. Remember that for a complete replacement you need from 4.8 to 5.4 liters of fluid. The most optimal option is the level of the probe “above average”. The rest is “topping up”. Further we twist a stopper and we start the engine. Part of the oil will go to the new filter. Therefore, after 1-2 minutes, turn off the engine and add a little more fluid, focusing on the dipstick.

Periodically look at the level.Perhaps the car requires unscheduled topping up the oil. At 10 thousand kilometers should go no more than a liter of fluid. If more - you have serious problems with the cylinder-piston group.

Finally

So, we figured out how to change the oilon the Renault Duster. As you can see, the operation can be done by hand. It will take from 15 to 40 minutes to work (taking into account the waiting time for the discharge of old oil). Also note: the lower the air temperature, the thicker the liquid. Therefore, to speed up the replacement process, be sure to dilute it by warming up the motor.
