Successful oil & filter change in my Dacia Logan 1.2 following these instructions. Everything was the same except the old oil filter was too tightly screwed and I had to use some extreme measures
@@CoatsandGaiters Nope, certainly not an easy place. After trying to loosen the filter by hand, with a filter wrench and then covering with rubber the metal band of the wrench, it still wouldn´t move. So I had to pierce through the filter with a screwdriver and use it as lever, and then voilà! it turned at last. Needless to say, I covered the new filter´s rubber band with oil, placed it with extreme care and followed the 3/4 rule, so I hope the next time will be easier.
@@CoatsandGaiters Minor ones, and I´m a nurse so no problem :) By the way, Mark, I have been looking for the fuel filter under the car unsuccessfully, from what I´ve read some models of Dacia hava the filter integrated in the fuel tank and need no periodical change, do you know if that´s the case with our car?
I wouldn't have brushed the oil spilled over in the oil collection cup back into the engine as it must surely have contain dust and dirt and also the brush may shed dirt particles and bristles into the engine too.
Thanks for the great video Mark 👍🏼. Out of interest have you or anyone on the page had cold starting issues with this engine? I had it a few times with mine last winter, I don’t want it again this year!
Thank you for the positive feedback, I'm not aware of any starting issues with the car from cold but maybe someone on here has and hopefully can help you.
I think the thinner oils give a fuel economy advantage with less drag. In the UK it tends to be 5w30 that's recommended but that might be due to our colder climate Joe.
Generally the more often you change the longer the life for the engine. I think in dusty condition you'd change it more frequently but over here in the UK I tend to change at 8,000 miles if I can.
I don't know off hand but I have heard it's next to the fuel tank on the passenger side. Sometimes they don't have separate ones and just use a mesh in the fuel tank on the pickup.
i have the same car the same engine, when you pour 4 liters of oil on the meter it shows far above the maximum. the engine is d4f 1.2 75ps .... some explanation
@@CoatsandGaiters the engine covered only 35000km. During the warranty period, it is maintained by an authorized service center. For the first time, the oil is changed outside the authorized service, but I have experience on other cars, nothing complicated. Great video for replacing timing belts👍
@@CoatsandGaiters the engine was very hot, I used a glove that protects against heat. I didn't wait for the engine to cool down at all, I immediately drained the oil while it was still hot. Oil filter replaced. 3.3. 3.4 liters is to the maximum. The only thing is that the measuring rod is not calibrated properly, I have no other idea
@@milanmirasevic86 That could well be the issue. Could explain things, I'd ring the main dealer and give them the VIN number and explain to them just encase there was a modification on your particular model. If they say 4 litres and you've put 4 litres in then Id notch the dipstick so I knew in future. Can the dipstick rod have dropped in the handle by any chance and needs pushing up?
@@CoatsandGaiters I`ve actually just done a Sandero, why I had a look at your video. It`s not as bad as all that really, but you will make a mess. Didn`t help that my belly plate wouldn`t come off the front so I had to work around it. Bolts go into some kind of holder that was rusted to crap, couldn't loosen them.
@@flyingbananatree5661 I think that was the same on the car I did. I think I drilled the rusty ones out and put riv nuts in. But they will rust the same again I expect. Cable ties probably the easiest and cheapest way.
Hi thanks for video.I have same engine and I need to replace oil.Do you have maintenance book of this engine? İf you have can you send to my mail adress please thanks soo much
Ali T. I’m sorry but I don’t have the maintenance book or manual as it’s not my car. I know the workshop manuals are normally available as a pdf on eBay.
@@CoatsandGaiters thanks soo much.I will search it.27000 km now and I will carry out 3th maintenance.I think to change oil and filter,air filter,polen filter.Must I use 5w30 fully syntetic oil?
Ali T. 5w30 seems to have become the standard oil today as it’s good for fuel economy being fairly thin so less drag. Fully systematic oil is far better for the engine and again is seen to be standard practice now.
