Hello

For a 2019 Duster 2 dci 115 adblue, how do you unscrew the oil filter without hitting it with the bell wrench, the round torsion bar located below the filter?

to remove the crankcase protection plate, it is better to have two people under the pit, one to hold the plate and the other to unscrew it, the same for putting it back or can you do it yourself?

Is the plate heavy? Thanks in advance for your answers

Hello

How do you turn off the oil change lights (orange zig zag and oil can) on a 2017 Duster, Black Touch 4x4?

The manipulation with the accelerator and the brakes does not work, and neither with the button on the comodo…

Dacia is a bit of a scam, you can't do your oil change without going to a mechanic...

Apart from that the tutorial is not bad, for info the tightening torque for the drain plug is 25nm.

Hello, to what torque should we tighten the drain screw? I'm afraid of tightening too much. Kind regards

Good morning,

For the 14 hexagonal drain plug (Duster 1.6 115hp) after having crushed the seal correctly the torque is 34 Nm (manufacturer data)

For the cap with a square imprint of 8, I found nothing at the manufacturer level. Personally I apply 30Nm after crushing, but do not hesitate to systematically replace the cap after each oil change (manufacturer's advice).

Reset the computer. Remove the dipstick earlier to facilitate the flow, and with warm oil. Do not overtighten the drain plug or you will damage the thread... Thanks for the tutorial.
