Replacing the oil filter on Renault Sandero 1.4 and 1.6

Changing the oil and oil filter of the 1.6 (16V) Renault Logan, Sandero engine

In accordance with the maintenance regulations, we change the oil every 15 thousand km.

We carry out the work on an inspection ditch or overpass.

We remove the power unit protection (see “Removing the power unit protection”).

We carry out the replacement with the warm engine not running, preferably immediately after the trip, before the oil has cooled down.

Use oils recommended by the manufacturer (see “Appendices”). Remove the oil filler cap. From the bottom of the car, we clean the oil pan from dirt around the drain plug.

Using a square “8” we loosen the tightening...

...drain plugs. We substitute a wide container for draining used oil with a volume of at least 5 liters.

Unscrew the plug by hand and drain the oil.

Be careful - the oil is hot. A steel washer is installed under the plug.

To prevent oil leakage from the oil pan, a thin layer of rubber is vulcanized along the surface of the washer hole.

Let's examine the puck. If the rubber seal of the washer is damaged, replace the washer with a new one. If you do not have a new standard washer, you can install a copper washer with a hole diameter of 18 mm under the plug.

Drain the oil for at least ten minutes. We wrap and tighten the drain plug. We remove oil leaks from the engine oil pan.

When changing the oil, the oil filter must be replaced.

Unscrew the oil filter by rotating it counterclockwise. If this cannot be done manually, loosen the filter with a puller. If there is no puller, we pierce the filter housing with a powerful screwdriver (closer to the bottom of the filter, so as not to damage the motor fitting) and unscrew the filter, using the screwdriver as a lever.

We clean the filter seat on the cylinder block from dirt and oil drips. Apply engine oil to the filter sealing ring and screw the filter in by hand until the sealing ring touches the cylinder block. Turn the filter another 2/3 of a turn to seal the connection. Pour 4.75 liters of engine oil into the engine through the oil filler neck. Close the oil filler cap. We start the engine for 1–2 minutes. We make sure that the indicator of insufficient (emergency) oil pressure in the engine has gone off in the instrument cluster and that there are no oil leaks from under the drain plug and filter.

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. If necessary, tighten the oil filter and drain plug.

Oil change for a beginner on Renault Logan and Sandero.

It would seem that it could be simpler than a banal oil change in a car, but a beginner who has never done this and is afraid to start or do something wrong needs to know all the intricacies and pitfalls of this process, which at second glance is not complicated.

First you need to purchase the necessary consumables and prepare the tool.

Consumables we will need:

1. Oil

, the manufacturer recommends oils with API quality class - SL, SM and SAE viscosity level: 5W30, 5W40, 5W50, 0W30, 0W40.

In the first 3 years, when I was still servicing my car at an official dealer, I was filled with ELF brand oil with a viscosity of 5W40:

You can safely fill it in, the main thing is not to run into a fake. To replace we need 4 liters of oil.

2. Oil filter

, original number 7700274177, suitable for 8 and 16 valve engines.

The official dealer installs only original parts, but when I started servicing the car I independently chose a filter from MANN (number: W 75/3) IMHO even better than the original one, and at the same price.

Experts recommend

• If the car is used intensively, it will cost to change the oil more often than recommended by the French automaker. Also, the procedure becomes more frequent when transporting large loads or when driving frequently in high mountain areas, so replacing the filter is also inevitable.
• The waste container must be of sufficient size so as not to spill around.
• In the absence of a factory washer with a rubber gasket, it is allowed to install an analogue made of copper according to the parameters.
• If it is impossible to twist the oil filter on a Renault Sandero Stepway and if there is no puller, the necessary tools are at hand, you should create an improvised lever from a screwdriver, which breaks through the filter housing.
• When removing a worn-out part, keep in mind that waste may remain on it, so you need to be careful.

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. If necessary, tighten the oil filter and drain plug.

There comes a time in the operation of any car when it is necessary to change the engine oil. Many drivers, especially beginners, do not know how much oil should be poured into the engine for Renault Sandero? In this article we will talk in detail about the amount of oil to fill, the replacement period and how to change the oil yourself.

How to properly replace?

Before starting the replacement procedure, it is necessary to take measures to ensure free access from below to the engine compartment. This is where a lift or inspection pit will come to the rescue. It would be a good idea to stock up on rags to remove oil leaks and a special puller that allows for easy removal of the filter element. If the latter is not available, you can use regular coarse sandpaper, wrapping it around the filter housing before unscrewing, or a screwdriver.

1. First, you should remove the plastic protection of the engine crankcase. How to remove it? To do this, unscrew the bolts securing it to the suspension subframe and the bottom.
2. When the protective shield is removed, we provide free access directly. In version Renault Logan 1.4, you should move some hoses, having first removed them from the grips of the mounting brackets. The 1.6-liter model has more space in the filter area, so getting to the element will not be difficult.
3. How to remove the oil filter itself directly? Next, we proceed to unscrew the housing. Here we use a special puller. If there is none, then you can use the previously mentioned available means or a bicycle chain. It needs to be wrapped around the filter housing, and a regular key will act as a lever.

1. When the old element is dismantled, it is recommended to install the new filter (before installing it):
2. - pour fresh oil until the paper element is completely saturated; — lubricate the rubber sealing collar on the filter housing (also with new oil).
3. We install the new oil filter on the engine by screwing it in, using only hand force.
4. When the filter replacement is completed and fresh oil is poured into the engine, return the hoses to their original position (“younger” version - 1.4 l) and install the crankcase protection.

What to do when changing oil from another manufacturer

Before choosing what type of oil in Renault Sandero, it is necessary to completely flush the system in a 16-valve engine according to the following scheme:

• Drain “working off”;
• Fill in new fluid to the minimum risk;
• Start the engine for 5 minutes;
• Drain all liquid.

After this, you can completely fill the new engine fluid into the 16-valve engine system. The work is repeated once a year, with significant use - after 10,000-15,000 km.

Taking good care of your car and regularly changing the oil, as well as a high-quality selection of the brand of this fluid will ensure a long service life for your vehicle. Study the video reviews and try to change the lubricant on a Renault Sandero with 16 valves yourself.

How to properly replace the filter

When changing the oil filter for 1.6 liter Renault Sandero Stepway crossovers, the work is performed according to the following algorithm:

1. The power unit must be warmed up. Thanks to this, the operating temperature corresponds to a certain level, which has a positive effect on the fluidity of the oil. The filler cap is unscrewed from above to equalize the pressure.
2. In order to have access to the crankcase, the car must be jacked up, having first been driven onto an overpass or inspection pit.
3. The area around the drain hole is cleaned. To drain under it, use a container with a volume of 4 liters or more.
4. The drain plug is carefully unscrewed with the tenth key. The rubber seal is inspected from the reverse side for integrity. In case of defects, it is replaced with a new one.
5. After the waste is completely drained, the oil filter is removed either by hand or with a special puller. If there is interference from the insulating screen, it is dismantled.
6. A new puller is placed after the threads have been thoroughly cleaned. It is filled with engine oil to half its capacity.
7. Tighten until the rubber seal comes into contact with the power unit housing. Then it is further rotated through an angle of up to 2700.
8. Then oil is poured into the engine part in the volume set by the manufacturer for a specific engine model.
9. The pipe plug is tightened. A test run is being carried out. After the engine starts running, the oil pressure indicator goes out. An external inspection determines the presence of leaks. After plugging the power unit, check the oil level in the engine with a dipstick.

How to change Renault Sandero oil yourself

Before you start changing the oil on Renault Sandero, it is recommended to determine the amount of residual lubricant in the engine. Premature filling will lead to unnecessary costs. In particular, you can check the volume of residual oil using the instrument display. If the latter break down (or there is a suspicion that the indicator is giving incorrect information), it is recommended to perform the following actions:

1. Stop the engine and wait at least three minutes.
2. Pull out and wipe the dipstick dry.
3. Insert the dipstick back into the motor and remove it again.

There are two marks on the dipstick (MIN and MAX), which help to assess the residual volume of lubricants. If the oil film is between the indicated marks, then the procedure is not necessary. Otherwise, an oil change will be required.

Tools used

In order to fill the Renault Sandero engine with oil, you will need a special container for used lubricant. You will also need to purchase a new filter and puller.

It is recommended to replace lubricants with the car parked in a pit. This is due to the fact that the drain hole is covered by the crankcase protection, which is located under the bottom of the car. Additionally, you will need a special key required to remove the oil filter, several rags (rags), and a new sealing washer (ring).

Process and sequence of work when replacing

There are two cases in which it is necessary to fill the Renault Sandero engine with new oil:

• the service life of the lubricant has expired;
• The amount of lubricant is not normal.

In the second option, you will need to add the missing amount of lubricant. It is recommended to add oil in portions. Between each approach, you need to wait about three minutes and check the lubricant level in the motor.

A complete oil change on Sandero is carried out in several stages:

1. The oil filler cap is unscrewed.

2. The old oil filter is removed.

3. The crankcase protection is removed. To do this, it is necessary to completely remove the air intake box.
4. The drain hole is unscrewed. Before draining the old oil, it is recommended to wait at least half an hour until the engine cools down.

After the lubricant stops draining, you need to secure the plug gasket (the part with index 1026 5505R is suitable for Sandero) using a size 8 wrench and, if possible, wipe all contaminated components. Then you can start adding lubricant. This process must be constantly monitored using a probe. Lubricant should be added to the maximum mark.

At the end, you need to start and keep the engine idling for 5 minutes.

It is recommended to replace the oil filter simultaneously with filling in new lubricants. Products with the following article numbers are suitable for Renault Sandero:

• 0451103336;
• W75/3;
• FR103 (for 16-valve engine);
• M20x15 (for 16-valve engine);
• H11W02;
• 0451103233.

After starting the power plant, the indicator often lights up, signaling a lack of lubricants in the engine. This situation is typical for most cars, including Sandero. Over time the indicator will go out. In cases where the lamp on the dashboard continues to light, it is necessary to begin troubleshooting.

It is recommended to fill engines with lubricants of the same brand. If the replacement is made with a lubricant from another manufacturer, the order of work changes slightly. To do this, you will need to fill in new lubricant to the minimum mark, run the engine for 5 minutes and completely drain the fluid. Then you can fill the Sandero engine with oil.

When to change

Changing the oil does not require much time and effort. But for some reason, many motorists constantly postpone this procedure, believing that the car will last several hundred kilometers without any problems on the old lubricant. In practice, this approach often leads to dire consequences. Over time, even without severe operating conditions, the oil becomes unusable. The liquid loses its original characteristics, physical and chemical properties, which is why it simply cannot cope with the tasks assigned to it. And we are talking about lubrication and cooling of engine parts, without which the engine will first work worse, and then may completely fail.

To prevent your Renault Sandero from encountering something like this, you need to change the oil on time. And here it would be natural to ask how often this should be done and in what time frame. To answer, you need to first look at the Renault Sandero owner's manual. The French automaker indicates in the manual that on Renault Sandero, regardless of the type of engine installed, the oil is changed at intervals of 15 thousand kilometers. This is for gasoline engines. In the case of diesel units, the plant recommends changing the lubricant every 10 thousand kilometers. But car owners themselves do not agree with this interval, calling it too large for real operating conditions.

The following factors influence the reduction of the recommended interval between lubricant changes:

• bad roads;
• long machine downtime;
• driving in traffic jams;
• low fuel quality;
• aggressive driving style;
• very hot summers or extremely cold winters;
• sudden temperature changes, etc.

Under the influence of such negative processes, the oil begins to quickly lose its properties. Therefore, it has to be changed more often. With relatively moderate severity of operating conditions, it is recommended to reduce the interval to 10 - 12 thousand kilometers. If the car has to be used in difficult conditions, then it is better to change the lubricant after 6 - 8 thousand kilometers. This is true for heavily worn cars with high mileage. But regardless of the number of kilometers traveled, it is not recommended to change the oil less than once a year. Therefore, focus on what comes first.

Oil level and condition

Every car owner is required to regularly monitor the oil level in their Renault Sandero or Renault Sandero Stepway. Although the cars are different in appearance, they have the same essence. Experts and simply experienced motorists advise checking the level every 1 thousand kilometers or before long trips. This will avoid unpleasant surprises on the road. There should be no problems checking the amount of lubricating fluid. Diesel and gasoline versions of engines are equipped with oil dipsticks located in the engine compartment.

You need to do the following:

• warm up the car to operating temperature (this way you will find out the real level);
• let the car cool down a little and the oil drain into the crankcase;
• pull out the dipstick;
• wipe it with a lint-free cloth;
• insert the oil dipstick back;
• wait a few seconds;
• pull it out again.

Now look at the level. It is determined by the trace of oil on the dipstick. Renault Sandero and Stepway have two marks, which indicate the minimum (Min) and maximum (Max) level. Always make sure that the dipstick does not show a mark below the minimum, since operating a car with such an amount of lubricant is very dangerous. But you also cannot exceed the maximum mark. Try to keep the level closer to Max or in the middle. Between these two marks there is about 1.5 - 2 liters of lubricant. This already depends on the specific engine. In parallel with checking the level, you can evaluate the current state of the liquid. To do this, simply drop a few drops of lubricant onto a paper napkin. If you see that the oil is black, has some impurities, or has an odor uncharacteristic of motor fluid, its service life has come to an end and requires replacement. There is nothing to worry about if the oil has slightly changed its characteristics by the time of the scheduled replacement. It’s much worse if such signs appear 2–3 thousand kilometers after the shift. This indicates problems with the engine, which must be eliminated in the near future.

Checking the quality of the oil

Before changing the oil in the Renault Sandero, including the Stepway modification, you should familiarize yourself with the thematic video and also monitor the fluid level in the filler tank of the No. 16 power unit. To do this, you need to get close to the oil pan. The oil change is performed on horizontal, level terrain with the engine not running. After turning off the engine, you should wait about 3 minutes to ensure that the engine oil is completely drained.

Having pulled out the dipstick, wipe it dry with a rag and put it back into the inlet pipe to determine the lubricant level in the engine. You should focus on the oily film, which gives information about the amount of oil. Based on this process, you can find out whether it is worth changing the oil or whether you can not rush through this process yet. If the oil indicator is between two marks (MIN and MAX), then an oil change is not required.

If traces of film are detected below the minimum mark, then you should open the filler pipe by opening the lid and bring the level to normal in portions. The difference between the two indicators is 1.5 liters. Therefore, oil filling in Renault Sandero, also in the Stepway modification, is carried out in the same volume. After 180 seconds, while the oil is draining, a second control measurement is carried out to make sure that the indicators in the engine are brought to normal levels.

It is necessary to strictly ensure that the lubricant does not exceed the maximum mark, since excess lubricant enters the combustion chamber through the crankcase ventilation shaft, which leads to malfunctions of the catalytic converter. The dipstick will show the exact amount of missing fluid, which must be added strictly according to the instructions.

Lubricant selection

Car owners are faced with a logical question about what kind of oil to pour into their Renault Sandero car. Here the plant recommends following their advice without creating unnecessary problems for yourself. And this is so, since almost identical Elf oils are recommended for all Renault cars. This is the optimal composition for a French car of any model. Therefore, with it you will know for sure that the car will behave well and not create unnecessary problems. The recommended oil must match the conditions in which you intend to operate the machine. Therefore, it is better to fill the following brands of motor lubricants into the Renault Sandero or Renault Sandero Stepway engine:

• Excellium LDX;
• Evolution SXR;
• Solaris RNX;
• Competition ST;
• Turbo Diesel.

Now let’s talk about what kind of oil viscosity would be best to fill in Renault Sandero. Here everything depends on climatic conditions. For some, all-season oils are not suitable, so the driver uses different lubricants for winter and summer. Here you have to carry out the change procedure twice a year. If the winter is not overly harsh, then in most cases car owners opt for all-season lubricants.

For Renault Sandero recommends the following viscosity values:

• 0W;
• 5W;
• 0W40;
• 5W30;
• 5W40;
• 10W40.

Such lubricants will not negatively affect fuel consumption and will be able to provide optimal lubricating and cooling properties for the engine. But each car owner himself chooses which oil to pour into Renault Sandero. It is better not to deviate from the factory recommendations. Reviews clearly show that Renault Sandero behaves excellently with Elf oils, but problems often arise when using alternative lubricants, especially cheaper ones.

Required quantity

The volume of oil to be filled depends on what engine is installed in your Renault Sandero. Therefore, build on this characteristic. In the case of 16-valve 1.6-liter engines (K4M and K7M), you will need a 5-liter canister, since the engine provides about 4.8 liters. lubricant. Eight-valve 1.4-liter engines require less fluid. They contain about 3.5 liters. lubricants All engines designed for Renault Sandero allow the use of the same oils. The only difference is how much oil to pour into the engine and under what conditions the car will be operated. Here you should proceed from the specific situation. For Renault Sandero, it is recommended to always have some lubricant on hand. Although oil consumption is negligible under normal conditions, engine oil may need to be topped up as the engine operates. Over the course of a year, the liquid will definitely not lose its properties and characteristics, so it would be correct to initially purchase 1 liter more than you need before the planned replacement.

Do-it-yourself oil change in the Renault Sandero Stepway 1.6 engine.

Good afternoon. The topic of today's article is changing the engine oil in the Renault Sandero Stepway 1.6 (8 valves) engine. Traditionally for our site, the article contains a lot of photos and video materials and is a step-by-step instruction. Good oil and skillful hands are the most important things we need to change the engine oil in a car ourselves.

Which motor oil to choose?

A prerequisite for operating any vehicle is periodic maintenance. In order for the engine to be less susceptible to wear and work properly, it is necessary to periodically change the engine oil. Using a quality product will help minimize the formation of sludge and carbon deposits on drive elements. A 1.6 liter 8-valve engine will require a little less than 4 liters of engine oil. For Renault SANDERO STEPWAY, the manufacturer recommends using the following oils:

• ELF Evolution SXR 5W40;
• ELF Evolution SXR 5W30.

If you decide to choose a motor oil of some other brand, then you need to choose one with similar viscosity characteristics. A routine oil change should be performed after 15 thousand km or after 12 months of operation, but in Russian conditions it is better to reduce the oil change interval to 10,000 km. In addition, it is necessary to take into account operating conditions and your driving style. When the car operates in difficult conditions, such as off-road, city traffic, mountainous terrain, we change the engine oil even more often - after 7-8 thousand km.

Step-by-step instructions for changing the oil in Renault Sandero:

1) Place the car on an overpass or above an inspection hole, turn off the engine, wait 3 minutes. If you preheat the engine, the oil will drain faster and more completely! Do not forget to warm up the engine to 70-80 degrees. 2) Open the hood and remove the oil filler cap. 3) Clean the oil pan from dirt around the drain plug. 4) Prepare containers for used oil. 5) Unscrew the drain plug using an 8mm square wrench.

5.1) If you decide to change the type of oil in your Renault Sandero, then you need to completely flush the system in the engine according to the following scheme:

• Drain the used oil;
• Fill flushing oil to minimum;
• Start the engine for 5 minutes;
• Drain the flushing oil.

6) While the oil is draining, remove the filter, use a puller for this, it is firmly seated and located extremely inconveniently. You can unscrew it by hand, but it’s not worth it... it’s easier with a puller....

Even if all the oil has been drained, it will inevitably remain in the filter and spill, so when we remove it, it is better to use a rag. 7) After draining the oil, install the sealing ring on the plug and tighten the part with a 8-square wrench. We put the new oil filter in place, having first poured a little oil into it (about 100-200 ml) and lubricated the sealing rubber.

9) Fill in completely new oil. We check the level with a dipstick; optimally it should be in the middle of the dipstick.

10) Start the engine. If during this procedure the indicator in the cabin that controls the pressure level in the system goes out, then you are on the right track.

11) Wait 3 minutes. We check the engine for oil leaks, check the level using the dipstick and install the standard protection back.

Conclusion.

As you have seen, changing engine oil in Renault Sandero Stepway is not difficult. You can easily do similar work yourself, spending 1.5-2 hours of your time, but significantly saving on car maintenance.

A long service life for your car will be ensured by regular oil changes when choosing high-quality and reliable materials. That’s all for today, I hope that the article on changing the oil in the Renault Sandero Stepway 1.6 engine was useful to you and fully answered your questions.

The manufacturer recommends replacing the filter (also oil) in a timely manner and using high-quality materials.

Purchase only branded consumables that are certified and approved for use by Renault on its models. This article can be used as a manual for periodic maintenance of Renault Logan.

Practical advice on choosing oil for Renault Sandero automatic transmission

I am often asked why buy original oil when there are cheap analogues. After 30,000 you still need to change it. This is fundamentally wrong thinking.

The original oil has the properties that are necessary for this automatic transmission. A certain percentage of viscosity helps protect rubbing mechanical parts from early aging in the box. This lubricant protects the machine from overheating and creates optimal pressure. Any other consistency will lead to improper functioning of the machine parts, starting from the creation of pressure. The machine will overheat and the oil will quickly become contaminated.

And in cheap fakes, the proportions are usually not observed, and the liquid is not supplied with the necessary mineral or synthetic elements.

What does the manufacturer recommend?

Renault recommends using the original automatic transmission lubricant: Elf Tranself NFJ 75w-80 semi-synthetic or Elf Tranself NFJ 75w-90 synthetic.
