Scheme 1

Scheme 2

1. Park the car on level ground. Start the engine and let it warm up.
2. Turn the engine off and open the hood. Remove the engine cover.
3. Wait for 5 minutes after loosening the oil filter cap to drain fully the oil in the oil filter.
4. Drain engine oil. Remove the oil filler cap. After lifting the car, remove the oil drain plug and drain oil into a container.
5. Replace the oil filter. Disconnect the oil filter cap from the oil filter body. Remove the oil filter element. Check and clean the oil filter installation surface. Check the part number and shape of a new oil filter is same as old one. Install a new oil filter element (A) and a new O-ring (B). Apply clean engine oil to the new O-rings. Lightly screw the oil filter cap into place, and tighten it until the O-ring contacts the seat. Finally tighten it again by specified tightening torque. Tightening torque: 24.5 N.m (2.5 kgf.m, 18.1 lb-ft)
6. Fill new engine oil. Install the oil drain plug (A) with a new gasket. Tightening torque: 34.3 ~ 44.1N.m (3.5 ~ 4.5kgf.m, 25.3 ~ 32.5lb-ft) Fill with new engine oil, after removing the engine oil level gauge. Capacity Total: 6.5 L (6.87 U.S qt., 5.71 lmp.qt., 1.71 U.S.gal.) Oil pan: 6.0 L (6.34 U.S qt., 5.28 lmp.qt., 1.58 U.S.gal.) Drain and refill including oil filter: 5.7 L (6.02 U.S.qt., 5.01 lmp.qt., 1.50 U.S.gal.) CAUTION: Fill the crankcase to about half the capacity and then fill the remainder after waiting about one minute. Do not fill oil over the 'F' line, checking the level with the oil level gauge frequently to ensure no over filling. Install the oil filler cap and oil level gauge.
7. Start the engine and check to be sure no oil is leaking from the drain plug or oil filter.
8. Recheck the engine oil level.

Inspection

1. Check the engine oil quality. Check the oil deterioration, addition of water or coolant, discoloring or thinning. If the quality is visibly poor, replace the oil.
2. Check the engine oil level. After warming up the engine and then 5 minutes after the engine stop, oil level should be between the "L" and "F" marks in the dipstick. If low, check for leakage and add oil up to the "F" mark. NOTE: Do not fill with engine oil above the "F" mark.

Selection Of Engine Oil

Recommendation

1. 5W-30/ACEA A5 (If not available, refer to the recommended API, ILSAC or ACEA and SAE classification).

API classification: SM or above

ILSAC classification: GF4 or above

ACEA classification: A5 or above

SAE viscosity grade: Refer to the recommended SAE viscosity number

* If not available, API SL, ILSAC GF3, ACEA A3 can be used.

Scheme 3

Note. For best performance and maximum protection of all types of operation, select only those lubricants which: Satisfy the requirement of the API or ILSAC classification. Have proper SAE grade number for expected ambient temperature range. Lubricants that do not have both an SAE grade number and API or ILSAC service classification on the container should not be used.
