Method for replacing engine oil and oil filter for Chery A3: 1. Open the engine hood and unscrew the oil filler cap. 2. Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the three screws on the air filter housing, then take out the air filter element. Replace it if it's too dirty; if not too dirty, it can be reused and replaced next time. 3. Start the vehicle and check for oil leaks around the drain screw and oil filter element.

I just changed the oil and oil filter for my Chery A3 by myself, and it was really fun. First, prepare the tools: new oil recommended in 10W-40 grade to match the engine requirements, a new oil filter, an oil drain pan, a wrench or a dedicated filter tool, and gloves to protect your hands. Find a flat spot, use ramps or a jack to lift the car slightly, and make sure the wheels are securely fixed. When draining the oil, unscrew the drain plug at the bottom of the engine and let the old oil flow into the pan. Be patient and wait for it to drip completely—don’t rush. Be careful when changing the oil filter: unscrew the old one, clean any dirt from the mounting surface, apply a bit of oil to the new filter’s gasket before tightening it, but don’t over-tighten. When adding oil, use a funnel and pour slowly, referring to the manual for the correct amount—don’t overfill. Finally, start the engine and let it warm up for a while, then check the oil level and look for any leaks. The whole process takes about half an hour. Regular oil changes every 5,000 kilometers protect the engine, save money, and give a sense of accomplishment.
