Chevrolet Motor Oil Captive 2.4. Features of choosing and self-replacement of engine oil in the car "Chevrolet Captiva. What will be needed to replace oil in Chevrolet Captive automatic transmission

Independent car maintenance allows not easy to save money on car service service, but also get invaluable experience. Starting with simple tasks, such as replacing consumables. In terms of service "Chevrolet Captiva" - quite simple carFor which you can say a special thanks to engineers and designers General Motors. It is they who belongs to the Chevrolet brand.

Crossover "Captiva" did not gain great popularity, but there are exactly his fans from the car. And many owners serve the car on their own.

To maintain the engine performance, the owner should know what the volume of oil in "Kaptiva" with diesel and gasoline engineYou can choose to choose fluid and change them according to the instructions.

Replacement frequency

In the official manual to Chevrolet Contivalent, it is indicated that with favorable conditions of operation, the oil replacement can be carried out every 15,000 mileage mileage or 1 time per year.

But also in the instruction manual there is a remark according to which the intervals between the change of working fluid in engines should be reduced to 10 thousand kilometers if the car is operated in difficult conditions.

The oil will actively lose their physicochemical properties and characteristics when:

• driving on uneven and hilly road;
• exceeding the speed mode;
• long passages in traffic jams;
• continuous operation of engines at idle;
• driving under load due to passengers, baggage or trailer;
• use of low-quality fuel;
• applying non-compliant motor oils;
• aggressive driving style;
• sharp temperature differences between seasons, etc.

Necessarily together with engine oil each planned service.

Choosing motor oils

For independent service "Chevrolet Kapiti" and replacement motor oil It is important to know which engine is installed on your urban crossover.

Chevrolet offers a rather extensive range power aggregateswhere gasoline and diesel versions are included. Motors are available in an amount of 2.0 to 3.2 liters. From installed engine The amount of oil required for fill with scheduled maintenance depends.

We give a few digits regarding how much oil is inserted into the engine depending on the volume of the power unit itself:

• if the hood is 2.2 liter diesel engine, it will take about 5.7 liters of lubrication;
• in powerful 3.2-liter Motors V6 poured 7.4 liters of oil;
• common engines in Russia by 2.4 liters. require approximately 4.7 liters motor lubricant.

Regarding the characteristics of the selected oils, the gasoline should use fluids with viscosity indicators of 5W40, 10W30 and 0W30 (the last for the engines is 3.2 liters).

If you have a diesel under the hood of the crossover from Chevrolet, then focus on the viscosity rate of 5W40.

Service I. technical documentation Reports to the owners of the crossover "Chevrolet Kaptit", which in the engine from the plant is poured oil from General Motors. This is synthetic DEXOS 2 5W30 motor lubricant.

Optimally used with the original composition. The only problem is that the cost of such motor oil is solid, and not all owners of Chevrolet Kapiti are ready to pay so much money.

Therefore, when the liquid is replaced in the engine, most car owners prefer the analogues of other well-known manufacturers. It is important that the characteristics and parameters of the composition remain unchanged.

To in demand and trustworthy manufacturers, in the range of which there are suitable for crossover "Captive" compositions include:

If you have acquired a crossover from hand and do not know which oil was previously used, it is recommended to immediately change this consumption to the compliant requirements. Additionally, rinse the system using special flushing oils.

Similarly, they come in situations where the former oil is not found or acquired, and the owner is forced to go to a new composition from another manufacturer. So that the oils are not mixed in the system, a thorough flushing is made. She is also performed by their own hands.

In parallel with the owners of "Chevrolet Kaptit", it is recommended to change the oil filter. This is done quite easily in a matter of minutes, but significantly affects the efficiency of the engine and extends its service life.

As in the case of motor working fluidFor Chevrolet Kapiti, it is better to use the original GENERAL MOTORS filter. But his problem is the same. If you do not want or cannot spend money on the original filter, then use the analogues.

Among the good analogues of the original filter, which are not inferior to him in quality, but are offered at a more affordable price, allocate:

• Filtron;
• Bosch;
• Knecht.

They are at a cost much more attractive than a filter from General Motors, and in terms of quality and performance efficiency can easily be compared with the original. There is no point in overpay.

Materials and tools

To work yourself yourself, you will need to collect a rather simple and standard set of materials and tools.

This list includes:

• fresh engine oil;
• new filter (in accordance with the "Captive" engine);
• cave for oil filter;
• empty capacity for working out;
• new o-ring for plum plug;
• filter sealer;
• funnel;
• set of keys and cape heads;
• lamp or lamp carrying under insufficient lighting;
• rag;
• gloves and other little things.

It is not known why and why, but in Chevrolet for his crossover "Kaptit" decided to use different filters and set them up several at different points. This complicates compilation general Instructions By replacement.

Sequence of operations

For self-shift, the working lubricating fluid in the engine and parallel replacement of the filtering device requires a step after the stage.

Try not to violate the established norms, work extremely neatly and not to rush. Hurry often leads to undesirable errors, correct which is quite expensive.

The entire procedure is divided into several stages:

• draining testing;
• changing the filter element;
• fill fresh lubricant.

This sequence is the only correct.

Plum

To save the engine from the old engine oil, it is better to use the overpass, pit or lift. Some cost without it because ground clearance The "drove" is rather impressive.

With strong wear or deformation of the plug hole, it will be necessary to replace it completely. Although it is usually strong and serves almost the entire period of operation of the crossover "Chevrolet Captive". But do not forget to replace the sealing ring on the plug.

The copper seal is wearing or breaking or breaking, and with each subsequent replacement of the motor lubricant it is required to be deleted, and put a new ring in its place.

While the oil merges from the motor, you can go to filters.

Filter

This cannot be called a problem or flaw from the designers of Chevrolet, but on the "context" with different motors The removal process and filter change is somewhat different.

Similar differences in the device of motors and the location of their elements are introduced by car owners for some error during self-maintenance of the crossover.

But in practice in all engines "Kapiti" for access to oil filters, it is not necessary to make a lot of effort, carry out complex dismantling work. The main thing is to find where it is located, and change it correctly.

All filters combine what they are located in a special metal bowl. It serves as a housing and protects against external influences. It is not necessary to change it all with the case.

On the "pin", it is enough to remove the old filter element from the housing, remove the remains of the old lubricant from the inside, after which the new component is installed in place according to the desired characteristics.

The filter elements themselves differ among themselves, because it is clearly replicated from their motor and select the desired filter under it.

On the filter case, sealing rings are provided, which should be changed each time the crossover is operated by Chevrolet. Before reverse assembly Already with a replaced cartridge, lubricate the new ring that you purchased for the engine.

Fill

Pour fresh oil is no longer so difficult, since the most problematic stages of work you have successfully passed.

Now work is final completed. The advantage of the "drip" is that this car allows without special risks for the engine or its components to independently change consumables.

If there are some skills and understanding of the crossover device, independent minor repairs are allowed. In the case of more serious breakdowns and faults, it is better to contact a certified service center.

The main feature of the Chevrolet Kapiti when replacing the engine oil is its right choice. If you follow the instructions and rely on the instruction manual, the engine of your car will serve for a long time, efficiently and trouble-free.

Hello everyone! In this manual, we will tell you how the oil change in Chevrolet Captive automatic transmission. The procedure is not very complicated, so it can be performed independently even in a simple garage and without assistance.

Buying a car with an automatic transmission, you must understand that this is probably the most expensive knot in terms of service, repair or replacement. Therefore, it is important not only to operate a car with a machine gun, but also to do the timely and correct maintenance. Under the right, it is understood to replacing the oil in the Chevrolet Captive automatic transmission in accordance with the instructions, as well as refueling the desired aTF fluids.

If your Chevrolet is capitent 6akPP, then the GM Dexron VI oil is poured, and if 5akpp - Mobil 3309 or Toyota ATF. Type T-4. For partial replacement you need about 4 liters of fluid.

Periodicity of oil replacement in Chevrolet Captive automatic transmission

Official dealers recommend replacing oil in automatic transmission Chevrolet Captive at least once every 150 thousand km of run or after 10 years of operation of the car. In other cases, only checks liquid ATF. After 60 thousand km. However, I have not met such a fluid that would preserve its properties throughout such a long life. Therefore, to save the box in the normal state, you need to replace much more often. We recommend to make a replacement of ATP through 60,000 km or after 4 years, depending on what comes before.

You can do either full replacement Using the device or use partial replacement, which will be required to repeat 2 times after a few km of run. In both cases, it is recommended to replace the automatic transmission filter.

What will be required to replace oil into Chevrolet Captive automatic transmission?

We will need free time, a place where we will perform work, as well as a set of tools. By itself, we will need transmission oil in the amount of 8 liters, as we will perform two partial replacements. The filter in the automatic transmission does not change when replacing the oil, so it is inside the box, but to get to it, you need to disassemble the box. Naturally, we will not do this.

We will also need a funnel, hose, capacity for working with a measuring scale and clean napkins.

Procedure for the replacement of oil in Chevrolet Captive automatic transmission 3.2

1. Run the engine and wait until the fan works. To speed up the process, you can simply drive a few kilometers at low speed.

2. We put the automatic transmission to the position "P", the moach motor and descend under the car. Yes, I forgot that it is more convenient to perform work on the pit in the garage, an overpack or lift.

4. Prepare a capacity for testing and screw the drain plug with the key to 24 ". When the oil finishes the flow and start dripping, wrap a drain plug in place. There should be 3.5-4 liters of oil. In our case, 3.4 liters merged.

5. Now open the hood and dismantle the housing air filter. It's very simple, so I don't see the point of telling about it.

6. Turn the key to the key to 10 "and pull out the dipstick. Insert the funnel instead and pour a new oil. You need to pour as much as it is merged. For convenience, we use the extension hose.

7. Insert the probe to the place, but do not attract the bolt. We put the air filter housing. We start the motor and warming the engine to operating temperature. At this time, we switch the box to each position with a small delay between the switching. The moach motor and pull out the dipstick. The fluid level should be between the last two marks from the probe niz. If everything is correct, then we insert the probe into place and attract the bolt.

8. We collect everything in place and repeat the procedure through approximately 50 km.

Everything! On this, the procedure for replacing the oil in Chevrolet Captive 24 can be considered over. We recommend that you view useful videosthat will help you with the performance of work.

Replacing Oil in Chevrolet Captive Video

We drain the oil into Chevrolet Captive automatic transmission after 49,000 km of run. As you can see in the video below, the oil has become very black. Therefore, you should not adhere to the manufacturer's recommendations and do not change the oil.

Chevrolet Captiva. - refer to class compact crossovers Created by the South Korean branch of GM (General Motors). The car is based on the GM Theta platform which is located on Opel Antara., GMC Terrain and Saturn Vue. IN south Korea Captiva is sold under the name Daewoo Winstorm, and in New Zealand and Australia - Holden Captiva.

CAPTIVA has been completed from the CIS countries in the CIS countries petrol aggregates 2.4 and 3.2 liter engine. In 2010, restyling was performed. The model received new appearance, Salon, engines.

What oil pour and how much?

The amount of the required product depends on the specific motor power.

In Engine 2.4, it will be necessary to pour 4.7 liters of oil, it will be necessary to buy an emergency bar for 5 liters;
In Engine 3.2 V6 - 7.4 liters of oil;
In a diesel engine of 2.2 - to 5.7 liters.

Instruction

1. We warm the engine up to 50-60 degrees. Warm oil has a better turnover and better stalking from the engine with a complete replacement. Our task is removed to the maximum of the old dirty and waste fluid that no longer has useful properties from the engine and pour a new one. If there is a lot of old dirty oil in the crankcase, it is sweeping with the new and worsen it. beneficial features. War down before working the engine 5-7 minutes, it wakes up enough.
2. For convenient access to the drain plug (and in some models, the oil filter is also attached from the bottom) and the bottom of the car as a whole will need to subdominate or call watching pit (the best way). Also, in some models, the "protection" of the engine crankcase can be installed.
3. Open air access to the crankcase by unscrewing the cover of the filler neck and the probe.
4. It substitutes a large container (equal to the amount of oil poured).
5. We unscrew the drain plug with the key. Sometimes drain plug It is made as ordinary "bolt" under the horn key, and sometimes you can unscrew using four or hexagon. Do not forget to wear protective gloves, oil most likely wakes warm but you need to keep in mind caution.
6. We are waiting for about 10-15 minutes while working out in a basin or a cropped plastic canister.
   
7. Optional point but very effective! Wash engine special fluid It is not inscribed in the service regulations and is not mandatory for implementation - but. A little confused you are at times better to promote the engine from the old, black oil. It is flushing with an old oil filter for 5-10 minutes. You will be surprised at which black oil will fall out with this liquid. Use this liquid is very simple. A detailed description should be present on the label of flushing fluid.
8. We change the filter of the cum. In some models, the filter itself is changing and the filter element (usually yellow). Impregnation with a new filter oil before installing is a mandatory procedure. The lack of oil in a new filter before starting the engine can cause oil starvation that in turn can produce filter deformations. In general, this is not a good thing. Do not forget to lubricate the rubber sealing ring before installing.
   
   
   
   
9. Pour new oil. Making sure that the drain plug is spinning, and the new oil cleaning filter is installed. We can start the fill of the new oil focusing on the pouch. The level should be between the minimum and maximum mark. Also, you need to remember that after the first start of the engine, some oil leaves and the level goes down.
   
10. In the future, when the engine is running, the oil level will certainly change, be attentive for the first few days of operation. Re-check the oil level on the PCU after the first start.

Chevrolet Captiva is the mid-sized Korean production SUV, which has long known for russian market. Not bad abilities on off-road, good driving qualities, high reliability and high-quality components - the main advantages for which Captiva willingly buy even in supported state. In addition, this car Pretty simple when replacing supplies. For example, captiva owners It's not difficult to pour new engine oil. In addition, the choice of oil to the engine will be pretty light procedure. It does not prevent the knowledge of theory. In this article, we consider how to select the best engine oil for Chevrolet Captiva, how much to fill it, as well as let's call best manufacturers Supplies.

The concern General Motors set the frequency of replacement of engine oil, which for Chevrolet Niva. It should not exceed 15 thousand kilometers, and only in favorable operating conditions. If the machine is subjected to high loads, in this case, the regulations are reduced to 10 or 7 thousand kilometers - it all depends on the load conditions. So, lay out several main factors, negatively affecting the shelf life of the engine oil:

1. Heavy off-road operation
2. Dusty road ride
3. Non-compliance with traffic rules, sharp maneuvers
4. High speeds riding
5. Slow drops of temperatures

Any of these factors can harm the oil, and in the end, the liquid will lose their useful properties. This will entail numerous defects in power installation. To avoid such problems, the engine oil is changed as often as possible. However, it is necessary to force the car enthusiast to reduce the regulations. So, for this, it is enough to check the volume and condition of the oil.

Check the volume and condition of the oil

In the course of this procedure, the dimensional probe will be needed, which is checked by the volume of the flooded fluid. So, for this, the dipsticks are pulled out from the oil-tapping hole, then look at the oilprint. Pay attention to what he should be between mAX marks and min on a measuring probe. When insufficient level (When the liquid below the MIN level) will have to add a little liquid. Or, on the contrary, when overflow, it is necessary to drain a little liquid.

There are difficult situations in which one butter topping may not be enough. For example, if the oil has become unusable. This indicates the following signs:

• Liquid acquired black
• Oil makes a specific smell of Gary
• Oil contains deposits, including dust, dirt, metal chips, etc.

These features indicate traces of mechanical wear. In this case, the old oil is drained, and only after that pour new liquid. It is advisable to rinse the engine well, and then pour new oil.

How much to fill

In the Russian Chevrolet Captiva market is known with quite powerful motor gammaconsisting of two gasoline engines, and the only diesel engine. Thus, the first two aggregates have a working volume of 2.4 and 3.2 liters. They need 4.7 and 7.4 liters of oil, respectively. Diesel 2.2-liter motor consumes 5.7 liters of consumables.

We note that all volumes are indicated taking into account the oil filter, which pours about 200 ml of fluid. At the same time, it is necessary to keep in mind, the total amount of oil turn out to be introduced only with the help of specialists who promote and clean the motor from all types of mud sediments. But this is a fairly expensive procedure, which has long been found alternative - the oil change in several stages. At the same time it is necessary to observe a break of 500-600 kilometers. It is necessary to change until the components of the motor are not cleaned from the old oil, and the drain oil does not change its black color on transparent. After that, it will be possible to pour oil in full.

Choose oil for Chevrolet Captiva

Chevrolet company together with the concern General Motors developed original synthetic oil GM DexOS with viscosity parameters 5W-30. The same specifications should have oil-analogue. There are many analogues, and among the most recognized brands, we note LUKOIL, KIXX, Rosneft, Shell, Elf, Castrol and others.
