Changing the oil and oil filter of the Hyundai Elantra J5 MD engine

Tool:

• Box wrench curved 17 mm
• Chain wrench (if needed)

Parts and consumables:

• Engine flush
• Motor oil
• Technical capacity
• Oil filter
• rags
• Funnel

Notes:

We change the oil in the engine in accordance with the maintenance schedule every 15 thousand kilometers (it can be reduced to 7-10 thousand kilometers, this will only benefit).

We perform work on a viewing ditch or overpass.
We carry out the replacement on an idle engine (preferably immediately after the trip), until the oil has cooled down.

WARNING:

Be careful, the oil is hot.

To flush the engine using the five-minute method, do the following:

1. Open the hood as described here .

2. To flush the engine, turn the oil filler plug counterclockwise and remove it.

Note:

For the convenience of filling the cleaning fluid and oil, you can remove the engine cover.

Engine cover.

2.  Insert a funnel into the oil filler neck, and fill in the engine cleaning fluid (you need to add it as it is written in the instructions for this tool).

3. Replace the oil filler cap, start the engine, and let it idle for 5-10 minutes.

WARNING:

Do not drive the car until new oil is filled!

4. Change oil and oil filter as described below.

To change the engine oil and oil filter, do the following:

1.  From the bottom of the car, we clean the cover of the oil pan around the drain plug from dirt, loosen the drain plug with a 17 spanner wrench.

2.  Place a wide container for used oil under the drain hole, and finally unscrew the plug by hand.

Note:

Drain the oil for at least 10 minutes.

3.  After wiping the cork, wrap and tighten it. We remove oil drips from the cover of the engine crankcase.

4.  We substitute the container under the oil filter and unscrew it by turning it counterclockwise.

Note:

We remove the oil filter, clean the filter seat on the engine from dirt and oil drips.

If the filter cannot be removed manually, then loosen the filter with a puller.

5.  Apply engine oil to the filter o-ring.

Note:

It is necessary to lubricate the sealing ring of the filter so that it is easier to tighten it, otherwise the rubber band will resist, the filter will not spin completely and then unscrew somewhere along the way. Oil flows through it quickly.

6. Fill the new oil filter with oil.

7.  We wrap the oil filter by hand until the sealing ring touches the flange of the oil pan. Then turn the filter another 3/4 turn to seal the connection. 

8. Fill the engine with oil as described here and replace the oil filler cap.

Note:

We start the engine for 1-2 minutes. We make sure that the indicator of insufficient (emergency) oil pressure in the engine has gone out in the instrument cluster, and there are no oil leaks from under the plug and filter. Tighten the drain plug and filter if necessary. We stop the engine, after a few minutes (so that the oil has time to drain into the oil pan), we check the oil level and bring it to normal, as described here .

USEFUL TIPS:

To facilitate topping up the oil, it is convenient to use a funnel. In the absence of a funnel for adding oil, you can make a funnel from the neck of a plastic bottle.
