Replacement of motor oil and oil filter

Replacing motor oil and oil filter (every 12,000 km run or every 6 months)

A set of tools required to replace the motor oil and oil filter

1 — Drain capacity - must be shallow and wide enough to minimize the likelihood of oil spilling to the ground
2 — Latex gloves - Help protect your hands from burns with inevitable oils on them during the turning of the drain plug of the crankcase
3 - gates - sometimes a drain plug is tight enough, which requires considerable effort when turning it
4 — Replaceable end head - Applied in a pair with a gate or equipped ratchet drive when turning the drain plug must match the last size
5 - Ribbon key - Allows you to rotate a full-flowered oil filter in conditions of access limited to it
6 — Special Caid Key - It is put on the filter end and can then rotate using the gate or ratchet drive, must respond to the filter housing in size


Regular and fairly frequent performing the replacement of the motor oil is one of the main procedures for the preventive maintenance of the car underly within the qualification of the average amateur mechanic. Over time, the motor oil is susceptible to aging, which is manifested in the gradual disimprint and contamination leading to premature wear of the internal components of the engine. Despite the fact that individual sources are recommended to replace the oil filter only with each second change of motor oil, the compilers of this manual believe that due to the relative insignificance of the value of the interchangeable component and the importance of the influence of its condition for the functioning of the engine and the effectiveness of its return, it makes sense to change the filter Each time when replacing the oil.

Order procedure

1. Make sure the presence of all the materials and tools required to perform the replacement of oil and the oil filter. Prepare also a sufficient amount of vet and old newspapers for collecting spilled oil.
2. In order to provide free access to the palter of the crankcase and the oil filter, raise the car by the winch, beat it onto the overpass, or subdominate and install on the backups. ATTENTION: In no case do not perform any work under the car, undercap only under the bumper or held in the raised position only by the jack!
3. Rear to the car and familiarize yourself with the location of the drain plug of the crankcase and oil filter. Remember that the power unit and the components of the exhaust gas release system during the entire time of the procedure will remain hot enough, - think about the scheme of safe manipulation with your hands to avoid accidental contact with disintegrations.
4. Make sure the horizontal location of the car on the backups / lift. Warm the engine to normal operating temperature, - hot oil has a greater fluidity and better shears sludge and precipitation. Use forced easy to decompose all the necessary tools and materials in a convenient order. Move the engine and remove the lid from the fuel neck of the motor oil.
5. Make sure the reliability of the car fixation in the raised position.
6. Observing caution, pick up the car and install the drainage container under the crankcase pallet, with the calculation that at the first moment the jet will flow through a hole with a decent pressure. Trying not to touch the preheated surfaces of the power unit and the components of the exhaust gas release system, remove the drain plug from the bottom of the crankcase pallet. Depending on the oil temperature, in the final stage of turning the plug, you can use rubber gloves or refuse them.
7. Allowes oil to be freely dragged into the container, adjusting the position of the latter as the jet pressure is mounted. Check the fusion oil to the presence of metal sawdust in it.
8. After the oil stops flowing out of the engine crankcase, thoroughly wipe the drain plug with a clean rag, - small metal sawdust can be adopted to it, which will immediately lead to pollution of fresh oil.
9. Wipe the surface of the pallet around the drain hole, screw the plug into place and firmly tighten it with a wrench (whenever possible - dynamometric to avoid breaking the thread).
10. Move the drainage container under the oil filter.
11. Using one of the types of special keys, loosen the filter. In the process of turning, the filter housing may be damaged, which does not matter in the case of an unambiguous replacement (the old filter for turning can be simply pounded with a large screwdriver, prepare for the collection of oil spilled). Manually finally remove the filter from the block, - remember that it continues to remain some amount of oil, which should be released into a drainage container. Make sure that the rubber sealing gasket shot along with the filter, if not, gently separate it from the surface of the engine block.
12. Clean rare thoroughly wipe the planting surface of the filter on the block. Make sure that the old gasket has not remained on the engine, if necessary, use the scraper.
13. Make sure that the new filter corresponds to the sieve disabled from the car. Lubricate the rubber sealing gasket of the new filter with a thin layer of clean motor oil and screw the new filter into the engine, sticking to the direction of rotation direction specified by the arrow on its housing. To avoid damage to the gasket, do not use no keys to tighten the oil filter. After the filter is sprinkled with a gasket to the surface of the block, reach it for another 3/4 turn.
14. Remove all tools and materials from under the car - try not to overturn the drainage container. Lower the car to the ground.
15. Lay out the filling neck of the motor oil and remove the lid from it. Fill fresh oil into the engine's receiving neck, - in order to minimize the loss, use the funnel. The bay of about 3 liters, win for a few minutes by allowing oil to drain into the pan, then check its level by measuring PCU (see section Checking fluid levels). If the level is above the bottom mark, start the engine, ensuring the circulation of fresh oil.
16. Daving the engine to work for about a minute, stop it again, and immediately look at the car, checking whether there are leaks through a drain plug and a full-flow filter. If necessary, slightly tighten the component to the leakage.
17. During the circulation of oil on the engine (about 1 minute), a new oil filter is filling. Now it is necessary to immediately check the oil level and, if necessary, add some of its number, bringing the level to the top mark on the probe blades (check after a few minutes after turning off the engine, - the oil must be fully drained into the pallet of the crankcase).
18. During the first few trips after changing the motor oil, try to check its level as often as possible.
19. The exhaust oil is not subject to secondary use and should be submitted to a special reception point. In no case do not drain the work on the ground or in the sewer - recover it into the hermetically closed container and take away at the first opportunity.

Forester SJ is a car that optimally combines in itself and sports drive and modern level of comfort. The Russian market presents 5 options for Subaru Forester SJ - VF, BM, CB, CS, GR, divided into 6 modifications. As usual, a four-wheel drive and a horizontal-opposite engine - atmospheric 2.0 l and 2.5 liters and turbo 2.0 l and with a capacity of 147 to 241 hp. As for the gearbox, the versions of Subaru Forester SJ from June 2013 to March 2015. Completed with a manual box or chain variator (there is no classic automatic automaton), and for the updated versions from April 2015, only infinitely variable Lineartronic transmission is available (2.0 CVT, 2.0T CVT, 2.5 CVT).

So, the choice is made. You have become the owner of a car that allows you to make a couple of thousand kilometers, squeezing in full, while not feeling like a squeezed lemon. Now everything is in your hands: if you turn with your car correctly, it will be able to pass without repair a lot of a lot of thousands of kilometers!

After how much can change the oil in the engine

Forester SJ has a demanding quality of motor oil by a power unit. Experienced masters advise adhere to such a periodicity of the replacement of motor oil:

  • for new cars
  • immediately after the end of running, for used car
  • immediately after purchase (simultaneously with the oil filter, so that in the fresh oil, the particles of dirt and dust from the old filter)
  • when operating atmospheric motors - every 10 thousand km
  • when operating engines with turbocharging - every 5 thousand km

Significant note: To avoid trouble, it is recommended to pour the type of oil used into the subaru engine, mix the synthetic oil with a semi-synthetic or mineral cannot be mixed. If you are forced to use the liquid of another brand, the engine must be fully rinsed, observing special technology, and change the filter. Optimally suitable for Forester SJ is 5W30 Idemitsu Zepro Touring for atmospheric motors, 5W40 Idemitsu Zepro Racing 5W40.

When to change the oil in the variator

When to change oil in mechanics

The Subaru manufacturer is confident that the variator is the most efficient transmission for crossovers, so the new generation of Subaru Forester SJ, as already mentioned, is offered only in a set with a variator.

However, the 6-speed Forester SJ manual box is still in the go. This model has a damper clutch with a soft and smooth move when starting, allowing even an inexperienced driver to feel quite comfortable. It is necessary to change the oil in the manual transmission at the interval of 2-3 years or during the mileage of 50 thousand km. K0321AA093 Subaru Extra LSD 75W90 GL5 and K0321F0090 Subaru Gearoil 75W80 are poured into the mechanics. Fully synthetic oil class GL5 has a greater number of special anti-raising additives that contribute to an increase in the service life of bearings, hypoid gears, satellites.

What is the oil change interval in the gearbox

In Forester SJ with mechanics, the front gearbox is combined with a transmission, so the oil replacement in it is produced simultaneously with oil in the box with a frequency of 50 thousand km. The rear gearbox is more loaded, so the oil replacement in it should be carried out more often, namely, when running 30 thousand km. At the same time, and in the box itself, combined with the front gearbox, and in the rear gearbox is poured the same type of fluid.

The difference between the Forester SJ cars with the variator is that in the front and in the rear differential, it is necessary to change the oil with the same mileage of 30 thousand km as. It is due to the fact that they are subjected to large loads and temperature effects due to the fact that a small amount of fluid is used. For both gearboxes, the same oil is used as in the manual box (75W90).

How often change brake fluid

Brake fluid is an important component of safety, because when braking the car, the force from the hydraulic drive to the pads and disks, leading to a decrease in speed and stop, is transmitted precisely thanks to it. Over time, the fluid loses its initial properties, which is why the operation of the brake system and the car handling in general, which is fraught with an accident.

The frequency of replacement of the brake fluid is determined depending on the components included in it, as well as on the nature of the ride. At the same time, if you ride rarely, the liquid use period is usually measured in years and ranges from 1 to 2 years. If the trips are short, but frequent, then the maximum term should not exceed 30 thousand km

If the car is operated in adverse conditions or elevated loads, it makes sense to carry out an extraordinary replacement of the brake fluid. In other cases, the brake fluid for Forester SJ is recommended to be changed in the process. At the same time, relying on practical experience, we recommend producing a complete replacement of the brake fluid, rather than the topping. When mixing fresh liquid with the remains of the old, the quality drops, which can lead to corrosion of internal components and reduce the reaction of the system to press the brake pedal.

When changing spark plugs

The subaru Forester SJ is installed iridium ignition candles for gasoline 4-cylinder engines. This is a new generation product capable of withstanding ultra-high temperature and load, while maintaining performance for a long time. The estimated resource of such candles varies from 60,000 to 120,000 km and strongly depends on the quality of fuel and the fuel system, etc.), because iridium is very sensitive to poor-quality gasoline.

Therefore, no one will say absolutely exactly how much the ignition candles in your particular case. We recommend checking them every 25 - 30 thousand km. The conscientious masters of our service center will never impose a replacement of candles if the need is not yet underestimated. The replacement will be carried out only with such critical disorders as the burnout of the central electrode, a decrease in the thickness of the side electrode and an increase in the gap that impede the normal ignition.

Fuel filter replacement frequency

The fuel filter performs a vital engine for the protection of the engine from extraneous particles. Finding into fuel, these particles lead to wear of the fuel pump and nozzles, and in addition, impede the fuel stream, reducing the efficiency of the engine, to reduce the efficiency of the ignition candles, increase the temperature in the combustion chamber and as a result, the yield of the MOC is in general.

In the latest models, Forester Fuel filter is located in the gas tank in assembling with a fuel pump, so according to the regulations, it is recommended to replace flask and rubber seals at the same time.

For submersible construction, which is used on Forester SJ, change the fuel filter is necessary after 50 thousand km of run (against 25 thousand km for cars with a remote filter, which was installed until 2003). When using the fuel of dubious quality inspection and, if necessary, the replacement of the fuel filter must be made more often.
