Do-it-yourself oil change in the power steering of a Chevrolet Aveo

When to change, how much and what kind of oil to fill Chevrolet Aveo

The Chevrolet Aveo repair manual states that you can change the engine oil every 15,000 km. In difficult operating conditions (city driving, traffic jams, dust, etc.), it is reasonable to reduce the frequency of oil changes.

Also important is the question of what oil to pour into the Aveo engine when replacing. It is recommended to fill in oil of ACEA A3/B4 (A3/B3), API SL quality, viscosity - SAE 0W30, SAE 0W40, SAE 5W30 or SAE 5W40.

The engine oil filling volume (including filter) is 4.5 liters.

• The number of the original engine oil (5 l canister) GM DEXOS2 5W30 is 1942003.
• The original oil filter number is 93185674. Analogs: MANN HU6122X, MAHLE X401D, ALCO MD619, FRAM CH10246EC0 and others.
• The O-ring number for the drain plug is 90528145.

Before purchasing, it is worth checking the applicability on a specific car.

How often to change engine oil

First, let's ask ourselves the question - how often to change the oil? It is clear that the more often the better. But oil, especially good oil, is not cheap, and you need to allocate time, which is always in short supply.

There are car enthusiasts who change oil strictly at mileage intervals of 10,000 km, 7,000 km, and others even more often. And there are those who change strictly according to the season, for example, in the fall before winter or in the spring after winter.

A lot depends on the driving style and operating conditions. The oil should be changed more often if:

• frequent traffic jams
• low quality fuel, especially with high sulfur content
• operating a vehicle in dusty or polluted air conditions
• trailer towing
• Frequent traffic jams and start-stop mode
• regular trips over short distances, especially in winter, when the engine does not have time to reach the temperature properly

In general, it all depends on the operating conditions of your particular car, as well as on the quality of the oil you buy.

Personally, I used to change it every 10 thousand km. With the increase in mileage, I lowered the bar to 8 thousand km.

Work algorithm

Before you begin, you should prepare the necessary tools and materials for changing the oil. Among the basic tools, the motorist should have a key with a head at hand. First you should buy the necessary lubricant, a filter, stock up on dry rags and a container into which the waste will drain.

The vehicle should be installed on a pit or overpass. Before unscrewing the drain plug, it is important to place an unnecessary 5-liter tank. The waste should be drained carefully so that the heated substance does not scald the skin of your hands. Do not rush and quickly remove the oil tank; you need to wait until all the contents leave the tank. In the free time, you can start changing the filter, lubricating it with a small amount of lubricant before installation.

As soon as everything is done and a portion of new oil appears in the Chevrolet Aveo, you need to make sure that there are no leaks. Most often they appear near the drain plug, as well as the oil filter.

Required tools and supplies

1. First you need the engine oil itself. But which one is better to choose? The one recommended by the manufacturer itself is more suitable for use in the engine.

Filter element

2. Oil filter. It's best to order an original one from General Motors. Its catalog number is 93185674. It will come with a special rubber O-ring for the oil filter cover.
3. O-ring for the engine oil sump drain hole. Each time a replacement on a Chevrolet Aveo requires this ring. It is not intended for reusable use. Which one to choose? Both the original and replacements are inexpensive. The catalog number of the original product from General Motors is 90528145.
4. An open-end wrench 24 or a socket socket 24 will be needed to unscrew the filter.

Set of tools

5. Torx key T45. Necessary for unscrewing the drain neck of the engine oil sump.
6. Rubber or latex gloves. Which material to choose? You need to choose based on the principles of practicality and convenience. When replacing a Chevrolet Aveo, you cannot do without accidental contact of particles with exposed skin. Therefore, it is necessary to take care in advance of special gloves to protect your hands.
7. Container for draining waste. To do this, you can use a plastic container from under an old canister, having previously cut a wide neck at the top. You can also use old buckets, basins, cans, etc. It is advisable that the container into which the waste will be drained is clean. This will allow you to visually assess the condition of the waste substance.
8. Open-end wrenches for removing engine crankcase protection.

Plastic funnel

9. Plastic funnel. Necessary in order to most conveniently pour oil from the canister into the filler neck.

Oil filter for Chevrolet Lacetti: original, Mann-Filter, BOSCH, Filtron - which is better?

The Chevrolet Lacetti is equipped only with gasoline engines. In Russia, the car is presented in three sizes.

Oil filter Chevrolet Lacetti 1.4, 1.6 and 1.8

Oil filter 96879797

From the manufacturer, the car is equipped with an oil filter under article number 96879797 , regardless of engine size. Part supplier: General Motors. The manufacturer of the spare part is the Korean company SEWON. The average price of an oil filter is 180 rubles.

Original filters from other manufacturers may also be available on sale. As a rule, the original SEWON factory filter has smaller perforations to allow oil to pass through, if you look inside the filter.

The manufacturer is indicated on the black filter housing itself.

Official dealers also often install original GM oil filters, but under different part numbers. As a rule, these are also original filters, but from other cars, and can be completely interchangeable with the original filter on the Lacetti:

• 96395221 — Oil filters with this number are installed on Daewoo Lanos cars. Also suitable for Chevrolet gasoline engines;
• 93156300 — Also a filter from an Opel car. It is used mainly on Opel gasoline engines with volumes from 1.2 to 2.5 liters where the original Opel number 650401 is determined.

These filters usually differ from one manufacturer to another. Therefore, there is often a difference in price.

The experience of motorists shows that there is practically no difference between the original GM oil filter from the Chevrolet Lacetti and the filters listed above. The quality of the filter paper is sufficient from replacement to replacement.

Due to the design of the engine, there is no bypass valve on the filter, so try to change it on time.

Reviews about the original filter are generally positive. Some car enthusiasts periodically observed oil leakage through the mounting hole when operating and starting the engine in severe frosts - from -25 degrees Celsius.
