How to change the oil and filter on the Opel Astra version J
Model: Vauxhall Astra
Astra J
- Years 2009-2016
In this video we see how to change the oil on an Opel Astra version J: of course we will also see how to change the corresponding filter. So let's open the hood and open the oil filler caps; it is advisable to add a pre-change detergent to the oil, so that it can clean the tank well. There are many excellent products on the market. For example on Amazon you can find Motul with code B07HYC8LGL at a price of 15.07 euros, free delivery. Let's run the engine for 5 minutes and then add the additive and let it run for 10/15 minutes with the engine at idle. Then we raise the front of the car and support it on the stands, then we access the oil pan bolt - which will come out suddenly, so we must be quick with the container in which to collect the oil, which we will then dispose of at an authorized center - that we will already have new ready. The filter will also drain oil, so we must equip ourselves with a container, or use the previous one. Unlock the oil filter, detach the cartridge from the flange and remove the gasket, then clean the flange with brake cleaner. Put the new gasket in place by greasing it with new oil, insert the filter well into the flange and put it in place by tightening it by hand at the beginning. Close it well. Now we go underneath and put a new cap on the oil pan, without tightening it to death. Lower the car from the stand, then put the oil back in the tank. Your Astra J 1.4 contains 4 liters of oil (unless it has 64Kw, then 3.75 liters are enough, and 3.5 liters for the 1.3). Fill it up to 90%, and leave it on for 30 seconds to fill the oil filter. Remove the oil dipstick and clean it. Put it back in and check the oil level. It is recommended not to exceed the maximum level.
