How to Replace the Oil Filter on a Verna?
1 Answers
The steps to replace the oil filter on a Verna are as follows: 1. Start the engine and let it reach operating temperature. Use a jack to lift the vehicle, engage the handbrake, and secure the front wheels with wheel chocks. 2. Drain the oil. Locate the oil drain plug underneath the vehicle, unscrew it to allow the oil to flow out. Observe the oil color - normal oil should be translucent; if it appears black, it should be replaced promptly. 3. Remove the oil filter. When the oil flow slows down, unscrew the oil filter for secondary drainage. Removing the filter can be challenging and requires a specialized filter wrench. Allow all residual oil in the compartment to drain completely. 4. After complete drainage, install the new oil filter using the filter wrench and tighten it. Then tighten the drain plug and lower the vehicle. 5. Open the new oil filter package. Apply a moderate amount of new oil on the sealing ring. Wipe clean the mating surface of the filter housing with a clean cloth. Install the new filter and tighten it to proper torque using an oil filter wrench. Clean the exterior and mating surface of the new filter. 6. Reinstall the drain plug, lower the vehicle, and refill with new oil. Check the oil level. Start the engine and let it run at idle and medium speed for a while, meanwhile checking for any oil leaks around the filter. The job is complete when everything functions normally.
