Maintenance regulations Subaru Forester SJ. Independent oil change in the engine Subaru Forester, which oil change interval in the gearbox

: IDEA: Oil replacement range in the engine Subaru Forester - 12000 km, provided that your car has already passed the running. We will need: a set of tools, a basin 5l, a funnel, oil, filter and oil separator. We start the engine, warming up to the operating temperature for several minutes, wasting, open the hood:

We find a spare part 710, unscrew:

Zalazim under the bottom, looking for a drain Carter Bolt (approximately in the middle, closer to the box):

We will use a basin, a horn key to 17, strong hands and good spatial imagination to generally understand which way to unscrew the drain bolt (hint counterclockwise):

If the bolt does not go, I advise you to swallow: engage in your left hand for the hook of towing, and the right push the key from ourselves. Tip number 2: Follow the key with a rubber hammer. The last few revolutions are unscrewed by hand:

We give oil to drain in the basin, wipe the crankcase and bolt dry, twist it back.

Then, a little left, we find the plastic cover Engine Oil Filter & Drain, unscrew the bolts of the cross screwdriver and turn the cover to the side:

Oil filter, surrounded by an exhaust manifold:

In my case, unscrew the filter with your hands did not work, I tried as I could - the car from my sweat went there, everything was without any sense. 💡 Need an oil suspension:

Unscrew the filter using the oil separator, counterclockwise, the last few revolutions are unscrewed by hand:

Wash the crankcase and the exhaust manifold from the oil:

We impregnate the new filter with new oil (pour in addition of about 50-100ml):

We put a new filter into place, tighten with your hands tightly, then we wrap the plastic cover into place; Get out of the car.

Forester SJ is a car that optimally combines in itself and sports drive and modern level of comfort. The Russian market presents 5 options for Subaru Forester SJ - VF, BM, CB, CS, GR, divided into 6 modifications. As usual, a four-wheel drive and a horizontal-opposite engine - atmospheric 2.0 l and 2.5 liters and turbo 2.0 l and with a capacity of 147 to 241 hp. As for the gearbox, the versions of Subaru Forester SJ from June 2013 to March 2015. Completed with a manual box or chain variator (there is no classic automatic automaton), and for the updated versions from April 2015, only infinitely variable Lineartronic transmission is available (2.0 CVT, 2.0T CVT, 2.5 CVT).

So, the choice is made. You have become the owner of a car that allows you to make a couple of thousand kilometers, squeezing in full, while not feeling like a squeezed lemon. Now everything is in your hands: if you turn with your car correctly, it will be able to pass without repair a lot of a lot of thousands of kilometers!

After how much can change the oil in the engine

Forester SJ has a demanding quality of motor oil by a power unit. Experienced masters advise adhere to such a periodicity of the replacement of motor oil:

for new cars
immediately after the end of running, for used car
immediately after purchase (simultaneously with the oil filter, so that in the fresh oil, the particles of dirt and dust from the old filter)
when operating atmospheric motors - every 10 thousand km
when operating engines with turbocharging - every 5 thousand km

Significant note: To avoid trouble, it is recommended to pour the type of oil used into the subaru engine, mix the synthetic oil with a semi-synthetic or mineral cannot be mixed. If you are forced to use the liquid of another brand, the engine must be fully rinsed, observing special technology, and change the filter. Optimally suitable for Forester SJ is 5W30 Idemitsu Zepro Touring for atmospheric motors, 5W40 Idemitsu Zepro Racing 5W40.

When to change the oil in the variator

When to change oil in mechanics

The Subaru manufacturer is confident that the variator is the most efficient transmission for crossovers, so the new generation of Subaru Forester SJ, as already mentioned, is offered only in a set with a variator.

However, the 6-speed Forester SJ manual box is still in the go. This model has a damper clutch with a soft and smooth move when starting, allowing even an inexperienced driver to feel quite comfortable. It is necessary to change the oil in the manual transmission at the interval of 2-3 years or during the mileage of 50 thousand km. K0321AA093 Subaru Extra LSD 75W90 GL5 and K0321F0090 Subaru Gearoil 75W80 are poured into the mechanics. Fully synthetic oil class GL5 has a greater number of special anti-raising additives that contribute to an increase in the service life of bearings, hypoid gears, satellites.

What is the oil change interval in the gearbox

In Forester SJ with mechanics, the front gearbox is combined with a transmission, so the oil replacement in it is produced simultaneously with oil in the box with a frequency of 50 thousand km. The rear gearbox is more loaded, so the oil replacement in it should be carried out more often, namely, when running 30 thousand km. At the same time, and in the box itself, combined with the front gearbox, and in the rear gearbox is poured the same type of fluid.

The difference between the Forester SJ cars with the variator is that in the front and in the rear differential, it is necessary to change the oil with the same mileage of 30 thousand km as. It is due to the fact that they are subjected to large loads and temperature effects due to the fact that a small amount of fluid is used. For both gearboxes, the same oil is used as in the manual box (75W90).

How often change brake fluid

Brake fluid is an important component of safety, because when braking the car, the force from the hydraulic drive to the pads and disks, leading to a decrease in speed and stop, is transmitted precisely thanks to it. Over time, the fluid loses its initial properties, which is why the operation of the brake system and the car handling in general, which is fraught with an accident.

The frequency of replacement of the brake fluid is determined depending on the components included in it, as well as on the nature of the ride. At the same time, if you ride rarely, the liquid use period is usually measured in years and ranges from 1 to 2 years. If the trips are short, but frequent, then the maximum term should not exceed 30 thousand km

If the car is operated in adverse conditions or elevated loads, it makes sense to carry out an extraordinary replacement of the brake fluid. In other cases, the brake fluid for Forester SJ is recommended to be changed in the process. At the same time, relying on practical experience, we recommend producing a complete replacement of the brake fluid, rather than the topping. When mixing fresh liquid with the remains of the old, the quality drops, which can lead to corrosion of internal components and reduce the reaction of the system to press the brake pedal.

When changing spark plugs

The subaru Forester SJ is installed iridium ignition candles for gasoline 4-cylinder engines. This is a new generation product capable of withstanding ultra-high temperature and load, while maintaining performance for a long time. The estimated resource of such candles varies from 60,000 to 120,000 km and strongly depends on the quality of fuel and the fuel system, etc.), because iridium is very sensitive to poor-quality gasoline.

Therefore, no one will say absolutely exactly how much the ignition candles in your particular case. We recommend checking them every 25 - 30 thousand km. The conscientious masters of our service center will never impose a replacement of candles if the need is not yet underestimated. The replacement will be carried out only with such critical disorders as the burnout of the central electrode, a decrease in the thickness of the side electrode and an increase in the gap that impede the normal ignition.

Fuel filter replacement frequency

The fuel filter performs a vital engine for the protection of the engine from extraneous particles. Finding into fuel, these particles lead to wear of the fuel pump and nozzles, and in addition, impede the fuel stream, reducing the efficiency of the engine, to reduce the efficiency of the ignition candles, increase the temperature in the combustion chamber and as a result, the yield of the MOC is in general.

In the latest models, Forester Fuel filter is located in the gas tank in assembling with a fuel pump, so according to the regulations, it is recommended to replace flask and rubber seals at the same time.

For submersible construction, which is used on Forester SJ, change the fuel filter is necessary after 50 thousand km of run (against 25 thousand km for cars with a remote filter, which was installed until 2003). When using the fuel of dubious quality inspection and, if necessary, the replacement of the fuel filter must be made more often.

In 1997, the Japanese Concern Subaru presented his first Forester to the world. The all-wheel drive model, built on the basis of Subaru Impreza, quickly won the crossover market, securely fastening in one row from the Mazda CX-5, the Jeep Cherokee, Ford Cuga and Toyota Rav4. Debuted the car on the dealership in Detroit. A distinctive feature of the novelty was four-wheel drive and high clearance. Despite belonging to the class SUV, Forester is mainly purchased as a family SUV. It is noteworthy that the versions sold in the Japanese market are straightened with their complete set from those that are produced on an escort.

Today, Subaru Forester is produced in the 4th generation, shown by the public in the fall of 2012. As before, the crossover is equipped with a standard line of turbocharged and atmospheric engines with 2.0 and 2.5 liters, working paired with mechanics or variator. All of them have similar technical characteristics and are almost no different by type or volume of oil consumed (about it a little further). The most charged turbo version accelerates to hundreds for 7.5 seconds, the limit speed is 221 km / h. At the same time, on fuel consumption, such impressive indicators are almost not reflected: 7 liters on the highway, 11 in the city and 8.5 liters per 100 km in a mixed cycle. As for the atmospheric on a 2.0 liter, then everything is a little more modest: 10.6 seconds of overclocking, 190 km / hour speed and up to 8 liters on average per 100 km path.

For almost 20 years of mass production, Forester has become one of the most popular family crossovers in its price category. This was facilitated by a large road clearance, a huge trunk, a comfortable salon, impressive power under the hood and rather economical indicators of gasoline and diesel consumption. The model is great for both family trips and long-term travel.

Selection of lubricants should be made based on the requirements of the car manufacturer. The use of motor oil applications to the Subaru Forester parameters can lead to the failure of the motor. The article provides data on oil tolerances from the manual for the manufacturer's factory for the Subaru Forester car.

Engine oil recommended by the manufacturer, provides stable engine operation, extends the resource of the power unit. Looking at the instructions for Subaru Forester, we found not only the recommended viscosity class on SAE, but also the necessary labeling according to API and ACEA classifications, as well as the type of liquids that need to be used under loaded conditions of operation of the vehicle and in the case of a lubricant plot.
Conducting a selection of cars, consider: an increase in the viscosity of the oil leads to an increase in fuel consumption. Lubricants with small density provide a decrease in fuel consumption at low temperatures, but in hot weather it is better to use more thick lubricants, they slower diluted and protect the engine from overheating. Pay attention to tolerances, it is recommended to use the original SUBARU oils.
