Note:

The volume of the replaced oil Skoda Octavia (for gasoline engines):

4.5 l - 1.6 l engines;
4.6 L - 2.0 L engines.

Recommendation:

Use engine oil VW 500 00, VW 501 01 or VW 502 00 that complies with ACEA A2 or A3, viscosity grade 15W-40, 10W-40, 5W-40, 15W-50 or 5W-50 (depending on climatic conditions) ).

1. Remove the engine crankcase protection as described here .

2. Clean the drain plug on the oil pan with a cleaning cloth.

3. Unscrew the drain plug, after substituting the container for the drained oil. Need a key for 18.

4. Drain the oil.

5. Close the cork 

Note:

The cork is sealed with a metal gasket. If the gasket is heavily compressed, be sure to replace it with a new one.

Helpful advice:

Drain the oil after driving while the engine is still warm. If the engine is cold, start and warm it up to operating temperature.
When replacing, fill in the oil in the Skoda Octavia of the same brand as the oil that was in the engine. If you still decide to change the brand of oil, flush the lubrication system with flushing oil or oil of the brand that will be used. To do this, after draining the old oil, fill in new oil to the lower mark on the dipstick. Start the engine and let it idle for 10 minutes. Drain the oil and only then change the oil filter. Now you can fill in new oil to the required level (up to the top mark on the dipstick).

6. Using a special key, remove the oil filter from its place and wrap it by hand.

Helpful advice:

Use a wrench to unscrew the oil filter. If there is no such wrench or similar puller, pierce the filter housing with a screwdriver and, using it as a lever, unscrew the filter. Punch the filter as close to the bottom as possible so as not to damage the fitting. You can also use a strip of coarse sandpaper folded in half, wrapping it around the filter and moving it out of place with your hands.

7. Fill the new filter approximately 1/3 full with clean engine oil.

8. Lubricate the O-ring of the new filter with clean engine oil.

9. Wrap the filter in place (by hand without using a tool) by 3/4 turn of the moment of contact between the ring and the flange of the cylinder block.

10. Turn counterclockwise and remove the oil filler plug.

11. Fill with clean oil. Reinstall the oil filler cap.

12. After changing the Skoda Octavia oil, start the engine and let it idle for several minutes (the emergency oil pressure drop warning light should go out two to three seconds after starting the engine). While the engine is running, check for oil leaks from under the drain plug and oil filter. Stop the engine, check the oil level. If necessary, add oil, tighten the plug and filter.
