By far the most frequent question that can be heard in our car service is how often the oil in the engine of an internal combustion engine should be changed and whether it is worth using flushing oil. On the one hand, the best answer to this question is - the more often, the better. However, oil is far from the cheapest consumable for a car, and replacement work is far from a quick process. How to find a compromise and which interval is best for oil change in Datsun on-DO.

In our company, as in most others, no specialist can give an unambiguously correct answer. But it is definitely worth knowing and following simple recommendations that help extend the life of an internal combustion engine.

Experienced motorists will first of all turn to the service book of the Datsun manufacturer, however, it does not always correspond to reality. The most important factor in choosing an interval is the operating conditions of the vehicle. In Russia, cars are most often subject to climatic conditions, poor road conditions and daily stress. It is also worth noting the main characteristics of the car. The best performance is possessed by cars assembled specifically for our country.

The most reliable fact is the following thesis - good oil can be changed less frequently. But Datsun on-DO vehicles are also susceptible to engine pollution, despite the fact that new expensive cars engine oil is used with a minimum amount of contaminants.

To determine the oil change interval in your car, you must fulfill the following conditions: read the recommendations written in the service book, find out their opinions on the Datsun club car forums from experts, and also compare the actual operating conditions with the conditions described in the service book. By doing this, you can determine the frequency for yourself oil change in Datsun on-DO.

Oil change in Datsun on-DO in North-East Administrative District

The Mosavtoshiny car service, located at 4 Serebryakova proezd, offers the following services for changing oil and filters:

• a full-fledged oil change in the internal combustion engine on a Datsun car with the removal of protection;
• express oil change through the dipstick;
• oil change on diesel vehicles;
• flushing the engine with a special flushing oil before filling the main engine oil.

The cost of the main service is shown in the price list.

The Datsun on-Do sedan and the Datsun on-Mi hatchback have the same engine displacement - 1.6 liters. Despite this, the models differ in firmware and power, which is why it is often difficult to choose and change oil.

Which oil to choose?

In order to get an answer to the question of what kind of oil to fill in the Datsun engine, you should use the instructions that are attached to the vehicle registration certificate. The choice of a suitable grade of grease is made depending on the viscosity index. The preferred engine oil index should be:

• 5W-30 - for Datsun on-Do;
• 5W-40 - for Datsun on-Mi.

In accordance with the manufacturer's instructions Datsun, for the specified car models, only original products should be used. Many inexperienced drivers do not know what kind of oil is poured into Datsun at the factory, which is why they cannot choose a suitable brand. The recommended engine oil for Datuson on-Do and on-Mi is produced under the Elf brand. These products are available in most auto parts stores. If necessary, it can be replaced with synthetic analogs with a viscosity index of 10W40.

When choosing oil for Datsun on-Do in the engine, you can also use the brands:

• Mobil1;
• Motul;
• SAE 5W-40.

The highest quality grease is from Nissan and Lukoil. It is best to focus on the products of these manufacturers for car owners who do not know what kind of oil to fill in Datsun on-Do or on-Mi.

What kind of oil to choose for the gearbox?

For the smooth operation of the vehicle, it is required to regularly change the oil in the gearbox. The gearbox needs a special type of lubricant that is not suitable for the engine. The question of the owners of Datsun Mi-Do cars, which oil to fill in the gearbox, is quite common. Viscosity grades are best suited for this purpose:

• 75W-80;
• 75W-85;
• 75W-90;
• 80W-85;
• 80W-90;
• 85W-90.

Oil change in manual transmission Nissan Datsun does not require the obligatory involvement of specialists. If you have basic knowledge and tools, you can complete the procedure yourself.

When is an oil change required?

In accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations, the oil in the Datsun on-Do manual transmission is changed every 75 thousand kilometers. For Mi-Do models, the requirements are the same. Mileage varies depending on the quality of the roads. If the car is used on a broken road, the oil change in the Datuson on-Do box is carried out much earlier.

If the vehicle is rarely used, new grease should be filled every 5 years, regardless of how much distance it covered during this period. The manufacturer additionally recommends that maintenance be carried out every 2.5 thousand kilometers.

How do I check the oil level?

New oil is poured into the Datsun mi-Do automatic transmission after old grease will cease to perform its functions. This procedure is allowed without the help of specialists. To find out how much oil is in the Datsun on-Do gearbox, you must follow the instructions below:

• turn off the engine and wait until it cools down completely;
• put the vehicle in a horizontal position;
• make sure that the temperature in the gearbox is not hazardous;
• disconnect the air filter;
• remove the dipstick from the box and wipe it with a dry cloth until it is as clean as possible, and then put it back;

• remove the dipstick again and check to what level it is in the grease.

This method is best for determining the oil level in the Datsun box. If it is between min and max, no replacement is made. New oil is poured into the Datsun on-Do box only when the mark is below the minimum level. The check is carried out also after changing the lubricant. If the permissible maximum is exceeded, the excess Datsun oil in the manual transmission must be eliminated.

You can check how much oil is in the Datsun on-Do engine in a similar way. The vehicle must be placed on a level surface and the engine must be completely cooled. When buying a new car, the lubricant level often rises during break-in. Therefore, it is especially important for inexperienced car owners to know how to check the oil in the Datsun gearbox in the engine.

How to change the oil in the engine and transmission?

Having determined the volume of oil in the engine on the Datsun car, you can start replacing it. The procedure is carried out according to the following principle:

• the car warms up and then turns off - the oil is drained only from the hot vehicle;
• the machine is placed on an overpass or special props;
• if the engine crater has metal or plastic protection, it is dismantled;

• a separate container for old oil is being prepared;
• the drain plug is unscrewed through which the remaining grease is drained;

• the drain plug is returned to its place, after which the filter is replaced;
• new oil is poured;

• the engine is started to check for leaks.

Even if the driver knows which oil to pour into Datsun on-Do, it is necessary to first check whether it corresponds to the required viscosity level.

When changing the oil in the Datsun on-Do manual transmission, you should follow similar instructions. The procedure is carried out in the presence of:

• capacity;
• rags;
• hose;
• key;
• funnels.

The gearbox plug is cleaned of dirt and unscrewed, after which a hose is inserted into it, through which the remaining fluid is drained into a container. Buying new car Datsun, what kind of oil is filled from the factory does not matter. But when changing the lubricant, you need to select products that will meet the required requirements. The use of additives is prohibited.

The oil change in the Datsun mi-Do automatic transmission ends with a double level check: using a control plug and a special dipstick. But in some cases, it is impossible to complete tasks on your own. For example, an oil change in a Datsun automatic transmission with a 4-band automatic transmission can only be carried out at a service station. authorized dealer auto.

Replacing engine oil in Datsun engines is no different from that for Lada Grant engines. Therefore, it is not difficult to do everything yourself.

How to check oil level in Datsun On-Do and Mi-Do engines?

Checking the oil level must be carried out with strict observance of 2 main conditions:

1. Completely cold engine;
2. Horizontal surface for cars.

When pulling out the On-To dipstick, the engine oil level should fluctuate between the MIN and MAX marks marked on the dipstick.

Min and Max marks on the dipstick.

If you need to add oil ...

It is normal to consume oil while the engine is running. The amount of oil consumption depends on the driving style, engine load and engine speed. crankshaft... During the break-in period of the vehicle, there may be increased consumption oils.
This is why it is important to check the engine oil level regularly, especially before long journeys.

If the oil level in the engine is below the permissible level (below the min mark) or at the lowest point of the permissible one, it is necessary to add oil to the mi-Do filler neck in small portions so as not to overdo it.

Adding oil to the engine.

Then it is worth waiting up to 5 minutes for the whole oil to flow to the crankcase. After that, you can measure the level again, but the dipstick must be inserted all the way. It is impossible for the oil level to exceed the permissible norm - the max mark on the dipstick. This causes it to enter the Datsun combustion chamber through the ventilation system and be vented to the atmosphere, which could result in catalytic converter malfunction. In the best case scenario, you will get excess grease spurting out through the cover gaskets.

What kind of oil to fill in the Datsun On-Do and Mi-Do engine?

Recommendations for purchasing this component for Datsun on-Do are in the instruction manual. In this case, it is necessary to focus on the viscosity indicators - it is written in the manual that oil with the 5W-30 index is preferable. But in its absence, you can choose another composition. All types of permissible oils depend on the temperature in which they are used. Datsun on-Do:

How many liters of oil do I need to buy for replacement?

After installing the drain plug, oil filter and dipstick in place, you need to fill in the following amount of oil:

1. 2.7 liters - if the replacement is carried out without dismantling the oil filter;
2. 2.9 liters - with the replacement of the oil filter;
3. 3.2 liters - dry fill.

This data is for Datsun on-Do with manual transmission. For engines with automatic transmission, the figures will be 3.9 liters, 4.1 liters and 4.4 liters, respectively.

How to change the oil in a Datsun engine yourself?

You can make a replacement at a service station, but this operation is simple, and there they will take a considerable amount for it (with the exception of oil change centers, where they change it for free when buying oil). So it won't be superfluous to know how to change the oil yourself.

When and at what interval does the oil in a Datsun engine change?

Datsun mandates a replacement every 15,000 km, but it is necessary to walk after 2,000 km and then adhere to the specified interval.

On the other hand, many believe that the oil change every 15,000 km is unreasonably long and the interval should be shortened. This is justified by the style of movement, especially in metropolitan areas, where cars sit in congestion for a long time. Also, the discount is made for climatic conditions Russia - frost, hot weather, humidity, etc. Thus, moving in the middle climatic zone, with mild winters and not too hot summer months, means replacing every 10,000 km, and driving a Datsun on-Do in more severe conditions - every 7,000 - 8,000 km.

In addition, it is worth remembering that changing the oil also means installing a new oil filter.

Instructions for changing the oil in the Datsun on-Do and Mi-Do engine

Initially, you need to prepare for the procedure:

1. Warm up the car, as the oil is drained only when it is not in operation, but hot. power unit;
2. Next, Datsun is driven onto an overpass or, if there is none, on some props (you can use a jack);
3. If there is metal or plastic, it must be dismantled;
4. It is necessary to prepare a container for the drained oil - at least 4 liters in volume.

1. First of all, the drain plug is unscrewed using the "17" key;

Unscrewing the drain plug.

1. Waste oil will begin to flow through the drain hole, under which it is necessary to place a container prepared in advance. It is required to work carefully, since the oil is hot;
2. It takes more than 10 minutes to drain. But to speed up the process, it is recommended to unscrew the oil filler plug, and also pull out the dipstick;
3. After all the oil is drained, you need to screw the plug back. The plug itself at Datsun has a conical shape, due to which it does not need other seals. But it is necessary to tighten it with moderate effort so as not to damage it, and in the future there will be no problems with twisting.

Replacing the oil filter

It is carried out only after draining the used oil from the Datsun on-Do engine. This element is located in the area of ​​the engine shield, which is in the rear area of ​​the power unit. It is required to arm yourself with an appropriate puller.

Using a puller to remove the filter.

Alternatively, you can use a regular strap by wrapping it around the filter housing.

Location of the oil filter.

After dismantling the old Datsun on-Do filter, the seat on the engine must be thoroughly cleaned of the remnants of the old gasket, and new filter Lubricate with engine oil before installation. Further, it is screwed in until the contact between its O-ring and the cylinder block occurs.

New oil filter.

What to do if the oil level is above the MAX mark?

In this case, we recommend draining the excess oil to avoid oil entering the combustion chamber. It will not be possible to remove excess oil by standard methods (by removing the oil filter), since in this case it is difficult to control the level of the leaked oil, moreover, you can ruin the oil filter when you unscrew it.

• 50 ml syringe (or more);
• System;
• An unnecessary bottle or container to drain excess oil.

We install the syringe into the hoses of the system, after cutting off the excess elements so that only the hose itself is up to 1 meter long. We suck it into the syringe through the neck from where the oil is poured several times until the level returns to normal.

Oil change video

You can more clearly see the process of changing the oil in this video. It shows the procedure for replacing engine oil in the Lada Granta power unit, since this model and Datsun on-Do have the same motors.
