The engine has many moving parts – the pistons, rings, crankshaft. They all require a high quality lubricant. In its absence there is a huge development. The most common problem – scuffing in the cylinders. It is therefore important to monitor the oil level and make timely replacement. In today's article we will see how is the car “author” changing the oil in the engine.
The French manufacturer claims that this operation must be carried out every 15 thousand kilometers. But in the dusty and harsh conditions, this number should be reduced by half. Also note that the optimal solution will be to change oil «Renault Logan” on engine hours. Interval is 350 hours. But it is worth noting that not everyone in the car has an onboard computer that will read the data. So the best option – oil change “Renault Logan” every 10 thousand kilometers.
Also, the state of lubrication can be determined visually. Taking out the dipstick, note the color and consistency of fluid. If it is thick and became black, so she needs an urgent replacement. Another bad sign – the presence of a burning smell on this probe. This suggests that the vehicle is operated in severe conditions.
So, what kind of oil to pour into the engine «Renault Logan"? the manufacturer recommends to use a product from the company “Elf”. This series of products are “evolution” and “Competes”. As for viscosity, it may be different. The fluid recommended lubricant has a parameter 5W30. Most thick - 15W50 according to the international classification API. But it is worth noting that the viscosity depends on the climate where you will use the car. The colder it is, the higher is the parameter. As shown, the optimum viscosity for the middle latitudes in Russia - 15W40. This oil loses its characteristics at temperatures from -20 to +30 and more degrees Celsius. You should also purchase a new oil filter for Renault Logan. Its price ranges from 150 to 600 rubles. It is better to buy the original ("FRAM" or "Mann").
To replace the engine oil "Renault Logan’ is successful, we will need the following tools and accessories:
We Also need the capacity to drain the old oil. Its volume should not be less than four liters. Such a container can be made from old cans – carefully cut the sidewall and put it under the engine. You can use other containers, such as a bowl or plastic bucket. But these devices are suitable only when using a pit or lift. Otherwise, such containers will not fit under the engine, even when using the Jack.

Now, driving the car to the pit or put it on the smooth area. Myself oil change “Renault Logan” is “cold”. Give the engine 10-15 minutes to cool down. Then you can safely get to work. Armed with rubber gloves and a square key 8, are matched to the pallet of the engine. Please note that it can be closed with a metal protection. Remove it is not necessary. It is sufficient to find the rubber plug, which will open the access hatch. Through this hole, we will insert a tool to open the tube. If it's dirty, clean it with a soft cloth. Next install strictly under the hole of the canister or any other empty container. Then finally Unscrew the plug. Be careful not to drop it in the canister with oil. Nothing critical will happen, but you have to look for it on the bottom (waste oil is unlikely to be transparent). Further forward, until the motor is fully merged all of the oil. If the replacement is done in the winter, it's advisable to warm up the car and carefully remove the stopper so as not to burn. Otherwise the thicker oil will flow for a very long time. Normally this process should take 10-15 minutes. To expedite the process, Unscrew the filler cap (so the system is not the vacuum).
While the oil is drained into the tank, inspect the condition of the tube. It has a rubberized metal washer that provides the seal. If this element is cracked or lost elasticity, it should be replaced. Otherwise oil will ooze out. Yes, for 10 thousand, may not result and cups of liquid. But even with the slightest water stains on the tray will stick the dirt and road dust.
Along with the need to replace oil and filter. Where is it located? Element is located near the exhaust manifold and has a cylindrical shape. But to remove it is unlikely to succeed. For this you need to use a special puller. This tool neatly hugs the edge of the filter and unscrews it without any damage. If such a puller, you can use a more barbaric way – to pierce slotted screwdriver through the filter. Thus, we get the lever. But it is worth noting that whenthe damage to filter out released oil – not less than 200 milliliters. Therefore we need to be concerned about buying the puller. It is universal and will fit including the Renault Logan. Price – from 300 rubles per unit.
To Get the filter out you need to quickly and carefully so the oil did not spread down from the center hole. Unscrew element counter-clockwise.
Helpful hint: when installing new filter, apply a few drops of oil on the o-ring. And if the brand and viscosity of the new oil meets old, you can simply press both of the filter end portion to each other. So elastic is uniform oil film.
The installation of the filter is better done without tools. Twisted it by hand force. Not worth tightly press it to the surface, otherwise the rubber will simply squeeze out (or there will be difficulties with subsequent dismantling). Tighten until until you feel resistance.
Now you only have to fill it with new oil to the engine. To completely clean the system from old grease, needs a little shed new. Enough 100-200 milliliters. Pour this volume into the engine and back down to the pallet. You will see from the hole of the black liquid flowing (although, it would seem that – the oil is clean as a whistle). So we completely remove old oil particles. Now replace the plug and pour oil in full. For convenience, use a plastic watering can (better without the mesh but clean). Start the engine and warmed it up to operating temperature. After some time, pull out the dipstick and look at his level. If he fell, fill up with oil again. Ensure that the level was average (between “MAX” and “MIN”). Topping up is a required operation that must be done with the oil change. “Where does it go?” – you may ask. It's simple: the filter has a bypass valve, which is closed at the inoperative motor. As soon as we started the engine, oil part will go into the filter itself. The level is thus reduced.
After replacing the select in Notepad with the date and mileage of the car. So you will know exactly how much the car nearest IT.
It All depends on the motor. If it's 8-klapannym of 1.4 or 1.6, then filled with 3.4 litres. On 16-valve engine – about 4.8. If it's changing oil in the transmission «Renault Logan”, the volume is 3.1 litres. This is the setting for the classic 5MKPP. But also on these machines and put “machine”. In this case, changing the oil in the transmission «Renault Logan” will require at least 4 liters of ATF fluid. But it will be more expensive than usual «transmission”.
The Operation consists of several stages:
As you can see, it's very simple. Regardless of what features a new ‘author’ specifications and how much it has ‘extra”, all the maintenance you can make with your own hands.
