How much oil do you need in the engine?

Many happy owners of new andUsed cars are interested in the question of how much oil is needed in the engine. However, this question can only be answered accurately knowing the model of the car. Each machine needs a certain amount of oil, so we'll tell you about it and how to properly fill it.

How much oil do you need for a domestic engine?machines? In domestic cars you need to fill 3.5-4 liters of oil. Experts recommend pouring 3 liters and then use a dipstick to check the oil level. In foreign cars with an engine capacity of 2.0 - 2.4 liters, it is also not recommended to fill more than 4 liters of oil and advise using a dipstick to check the oil level. Even if it is written in the technical passport that it is necessary to fill in 4.2 or 4.3 liters of oil or more, enough and canisters for 4 liters, since all the old oil can not be drained. In engines with large volumes, more oil may be required. In any case, after filling a certain amount, do not be too lazy to check the oil level in the engine.

Be sure to consider what kind of oil you poured intocar before. As a rule, if there was a synthetic oil, then it is better to continue to fill in the synthetic material, and if it is semisynthetic, then it is. If you do not know what kind of oil was poured into your car before, then the engine must be rinsed before pouring new oil. This must be done in order not to disturb the correct operation of the engine.

Just before replacing the engine oilyou need to warm up to the operating temperature (for each car it also has its own), then drain the old oil and unscrew the oil filter. Then wait a bit and wipe all the old parts, then screw on the new oil filter and tighten it, and then the bolt. Then pull out and wipe the dipstick and start slowly pouring new oil through the funnel. Pour oil to a maximum level.

After this, start the engine and check,the light will go out. If not, then you need to see if you did everything correctly. It often happens that something is forgotten - for example, tighten the bolt. Also I must say that if you yourself do not know much about cars, it's better to ask to explain this procedure to experienced friends or acquaintances, or trust specialists of service centers who will replace oil quickly enough.
