Introduction

I change the oil every 10,000 km on this engine. I use 10w40 oil.

This operation can be done on the ground (flat) on this vehicle; access is sufficient. I prefer to drain the engine when it is hot, the oil flows much faster and much better.

  1. the gauges on DW8 deteriorate over time, the plastic head breaks If your gauge is in bad condition, replace it

  8. fill with 10w40 oil using a funnel if necessary, start by pouring 4l check the gauge (the bottom arrow represents the minimum, the top arrow the maximum: we try to be just below the maximum) and top up if necessary Replace the filler cap and oil dipstick

    • Start the engine, let it run for 1 minute and check for leaks.

    • check the level and top up: it will have dropped as the oil filter will have filled up

    • we will check and top up the level one last time when the engine is cold

  10. 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.
