The engine is a vital vehicle system. Like all mechanical nodes, it requires timely care. And no matter, powerful is an aggregate with a large number of cylinders or the simplest single-cylinder motor. Replacing consumables is in the first place of engine maintenance. Previously, the engine oil was used to remove contaminated particles from the assemblies of the unit, for example, a metal chips, and release the spent energy into the crankcase. Then the oil began to use for lubricating the elements of the gas distribution mechanism and cylinders. To date, there is another use of oil - in the form of a hydraulic solution, which is used for smooth operation of the elements of the DVS. Creating a protective film on the surfaces of parts, oil reduces wear, which causes the friction of the mechanisms, and also prevents the accumulation of hazardous impurities and dirt, the appearance of corrosion and reduces the operating temperature of the moving elements of the DVS. Many oils add special additives that change the viscosity of the fluid and contributing to the cleansing components of the power plant.

Oil for Volkswagen Polo

Of course, it is desirable to use only high-quality engine oil. If you pour lubricant from an unknown manufacturer, be prepared for troubles that may occur with time. That is why the manufacturer of Volkswagen advises its customers to pour those motor oils that produce a Volkswagen enterprise - 501 01, 502 00, 503 00, 504 00.

Production of lubricants in Germany has been established, although in our car market you can find fake products. Fakes are produced in both Russia and Moldova, China or Romania. If you saw the oil, on the label of which it is indicated by the production of one with these countries, it is better to refrain from such a purchase.

It is worth noting that many practiced the Bay of Motor Oil Mobile 1 or Shell Helix Ultra. And, as practice shows, cars on this engine oil also work normally, but here it is necessary to take into account the wishes of the manufacturer's plant - the viscosity class of the motor oil should be 5W30.

when changing oil

Holders of Volkswagen Polo Manufacturer advises to replace the consumable material at least than every 15,000 mileage kilometers. But, given the difficult operating conditions, the replacement of motor oil is desirable to produce 2 times more often. It can be attributed to difficult conditions:

1. Poor quality gasoline.
2. Operation of the car under conditions of dirty air and dusting.
3. Long breaks in the use of vehicles.
4. Regular ride for short distances.
   
5. Movement in urban traffic jams.

how much oil is needed

According to the manufacturer's recommendations, the recommended volume of the motor fluid in the Volkswagen Polo motor is 3.6 liters. If you pour this volume, the engine oil mark on the dipstick when checking the level will be located between the MIN and MAX marks.

The lubricant for the Volkswagen Motor Motor is sold on the market both in liter and four- and five-liter canines. However, at the same time, it is not necessary to forget that if your car has a certain mileage, with time the motor can consume a motor fluid. Therefore, it is better to purchase four or five-liter containers so that if necessary, it is possible to attach the missing volume.

Oil filter Volkswagen Polo

Well filtered oil well affects the service life and wear of the motor. Therefore, the car filter in the car is a very important component. A high-quality oil filter is characterized by the subtlety of filtration. It is worth noting that the principle of operation of the mechanical filter (it is most common) is based on the flow of oil passing through special obstacles. These obstacles capture inorganic and organic microprymes. Filtration subtlety is from 40 to 1-3 micrometer.

Replacing oil polo sedan, preparatory work

First of all, warm the engine. You can not warm it up to the operating temperature, it will be enough 60-70 degrees. Otherwise, the oil does not merge from the motor completely and part of the fluid will remain in the system. Although part of the engine oil remains in the system in any case, therefore, when changing the liquid, rinse the motor.

How to merge oil from the engine, step by step

1. Open the hood of the machine and unscrew the motor cover through which the oil is poured.
2. Next, we climb under the bottom of the car and find the protection of the oil pan.
3. Using the key-asterisks, we unscrew all the screws that hold it.
4. We find the plug hole.
   
5. Under it we substitute the tank for the waste liquid and unscrew using a wrench. Here it is necessary to act carefully, since part of the oil can get into the skin when the plug is unscrewed. And if the vehicle was completely warmed, it can burn your skin, so just in case wrap the tube with a rag.
6. We are waiting for 20-30 minutes while the engine oil does not merge completely.

How to rinse the engine, step by step

1. We produce replacing the drain cork sealing ring or tighten a new plug.
2. Next, fill in the engine about 3 liters of washing fluid.
3. We launch the engine and let it work at idle for about 20 minutes.
4. In order for flushing fluid cleaned the engine and the effect from it was better, you need to drive at least ten kilometers.
5. Then repeat the paragraphs 2-4.
6. We climb under the hood and find the oil filtering component. We unscrew it with a cloth or a special key. We drain from it the exhaust oil into the prepared container.

How to pour oil into the engine

1. Take a new filter component and pour a small amount of oil into it. The filter must be filled with a third. Now we lubricate the component sealing ring, because after its installation, the ring may simply squeeze.
2. Install a new filter.
   
3. We take a new liquid and pour into the motor to the optimal level. Before checking the level, wait a few minutes to spread the fluid on the system completely.
4. Now we run the motor. We give the engine a little work or make a small control trip.
5. Once again, check the oil level and fill it if necessary.

Tips Profi, nuances in operation when replacing the oil in the engine

It is worth considering that the oil change without flushing is not complete - part of the fluid will remain in the system, and it is possible to get rid of it only by washing. In addition, buy only original consumables and parts, as liquids of unknown or poor-quality production can harm the vehicle.
