Introduction

I empty the tank under a pit but we can work on the ground (flat).

  1. 
open the hood

remove the oil filler cap

remove the oil dipstick
    • open the hood

    • remove the oil filler cap

    • remove the oil dipstick

    • This will create an air intake, which will help drain faster.

  2. 
The drain plug is located at the rear of the crankcase.

unblock the cork using a figure 8 square

Place a tray under the crankcase and finish unscrewing the cap by hand.
    • The drain plug is located at the rear of the crankcase.

    • unblock the cork using a figure 8 square

    • Place a tray under the crankcase and finish unscrewing the cap by hand.

    • Be careful not to burn yourself.

    • don't hesitate to wear gloves

    • don't hesitate to drop the oil pan plug into the pan, you can retrieve it later with a magnet

    • let drain for at least 15 minutes

  3. 
locate the oil filter: it is in the area circled in red

unlock the bell using the 27mm ratchet and socket

finish unscrewing by hand and remove the filter
    • locate the oil filter: it is in the area circled in red

    • unlock the bell using the 27mm ratchet and socket

    • finish unscrewing by hand and remove the filter

    • Make sure the drain pan is under the filter as oil will leak out.

  4. 
remove the filter from the bell and leave to drain

clean the bell

I use brake cleaner.
    • remove the filter from the bell and leave to drain

    • clean the bell

    • I use brake cleaner.

    • replace the bell O-ring (it is supplied)

    • I use a small flat head screwdriver to remove the old one.

  5. 
compare filters: shape, size, reference
    • compare filters: shape, size, reference

    • OEM reference: 9463704780

  6. 
If desired, the oil contained in the filter holder can be emptied using a syringe.
    • If desired, the oil contained in the filter holder can be emptied using a syringe.

    • I'm not sure this is absolutely necessary as you will never remove all the oil from the engine by changing the oil.

  7. 
oil the filter O-ring

oil the bell o-ring

insert the filter into the bell
    • oil the filter O-ring

    • oil the bell o-ring

    • insert the filter into the bell

  8. 
mount the bell and screw by hand

There should be no resistance. If it forces you, it means you are not in the nets: do not insist and start again from the beginning.
    • mount the bell and screw by hand

    • There should be no resistance. If it forces you, it means you are not in the nets: do not insist and start again from the beginning.

    • finish tightening with a 27mm ratchet and socket

    • Moderate tightening, torque of 25N.m.

  9. 
clean the crankcase with a cloth

tighten the cap by hand

Be sure to put in a new gasket.
    • clean the crankcase with a cloth

    • tighten the cap by hand

    • Be sure to put in a new gasket.

    • then finish with the 8mm key

    • Moderate tightening, torque of 30N.m

  10. 
clean up the oil that leaked when the filter was removed
    • clean up the oil that leaked when the filter was removed

    • I also use brake cleaner here.

  11. 
fill up with 10w40 oil, start by pouring 3 liters

Use a funnel if necessary.
    • fill up with 10w40 oil, start by pouring 3 liters

    • Use a funnel if necessary.

    • check the level on the gauge: the bottom notch represents the minimum, the top notch the maximum (complete if necessary: we aim to be just below the maximum)

  12. 
put the gauge back in place

replace the filler cap

start and check for leaks (crankcase and filter)
    • put the gauge back in place

    • replace the filler cap

    • start and check for leaks (crankcase and filter)

    • You can turn off the engine and top up the oil: the level will have dropped since the oil filter will have filled up. You will check the level one last time when the engine is cold.

  13. 
press (and hold) the trip meter button

turn on the ignition and wait for the countdown to end before releasing the button

the maintenance counter is reset (you can turn off the ignition after that)
    • press (and hold) the trip meter button

    • turn on the ignition and wait for the countdown to end before releasing the button

    • the maintenance counter is reset (you can turn off the ignition after that)

  14. 
The used oil and the filter will be taken to a recycling center or any other facility that can recycle it. This step is an integral part of the oil change.
