Recommended engine oil for Subaru Forester. When to change oil in mechanics

Forester SJ is a car that optimally combines in itself and sports drive and modern level of comfort. On the russian market Presented 5 options Subaru Forester. SJ - VF, BM, CB, CS, GR, divided into 6 modifications. Normally, four-wheel drive and 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 (classic automaton is generally absent), and for updated versions from April 2015 only available sainted transmission Lineartronic (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 to fresh oil did not get 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 used in the subaru engine using the original oil type used, mix synthetic oil With semi-synthetic or mineral it is impossible. 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 new generation Subaru. Forester SJ, as already mentioned, is offered only complete 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 front gear Combined with transmission, so the oil replacement in it is produced simultaneously with oil in a 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 rear Differential Change the oil is necessary 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 mechanical 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 functioning is broken brake system and car handling as a whole, which is fraught with an accident.

Replacement frequency brake fluid 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 in the range from 60,000 to 120,000 km and highly depends on the quality of fuel and rewinding fuel system (filters, throttle valve 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, replace fuel filter It is necessary to produce more often.

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.

Recommended by the manufacturer of the car motor oil, Provides stable work engine extends resource power aggregate. Looking at the instructions for Subaru Forester, we found not only the recommended class of viscosity on SAE, but also the necessary labeling aPI classifications and ACEA, as well as the type of liquids that need to be used under loading conditions vehicle And in the case of the top of the lubricant.
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 original oils Subaru.

Check out the video about the selection of motor oils for Subaru:

By these parameters, using the instruction on the operation of the machine with ease, select the optimal brand of the car. The use of high-quality lubricant and timely replacement of motor lubrication increase the engine resource, ensure its reliable, stable operation.

I will unsubscribe here, I will not create a new topic.

Today I replaced the oil in the manual transmission and the rear dife, the front separate car with the MCPP is not, it is located in the box itself.

So we have: SH9 2012 year of birth, FB25 motor and manual transmission with a downgrade, mileage 49500 km.

Oil was purchased

A comrade has a good lengthening head TORKS or T70.

Little Likbez, I myself did not know this ... Machines with automatic transmission there are a drain and fuel hole in the rear gearbox, but there is no temperature sensor in it, and in machines with manual transmission there are drain, but there is no fuel hole in the rear gearbox, but there are Temperature sensor ..... Consequently, in machines with MCPP, the oil bay into the rear gearbox is carried out through the sensor hole.

We lower the removal of the protection of the gearbox, so it is in front of the eyes. A drain plug is unscrewed by a regular square, 1/2 in my opinion it is called, just such on the usual ratchet, but it is better to use a Mr.-shaped adapter, which I used it. We drain the oil. Pipetz - color like Hudron, just Cechno. The plug is magnetic, on it and fine chips and oil of cyatima consistency. We rub the plug, I did not see the iron sealing ring, which seemed to me strange. As the oil everything merged put the plug in place and proceed to removing the temperature sensor.

The temperature sensor is screwed into the bond, which in turn is screwed into the gearbox housing. We fold the sensor chip. I decided to unscrew the sensor from the bond, and then I was waiting for a surprise ...... the key to 19 Bolshevat, and at 17 a little ..... - I'm fine I drive a little American in the instruments, it looks like the real size of the sensor nut, bitsuko 18. in the freed Hole fill new oil, I used a 150 ml medical syringe, measured 850 ml into the rear gearbox. Sensor in place, chip insert in the connector, protection of the gearbox in place. Be careful and do not forget to tighten all the bolts and nuts, why ??? - We read further .........

Go to the box, I get under the car, I remove the defense ......... UPS, and there is no one of the rear bolts for fastening the protection of DVS and the box ..... I start to unscrew the second left ..... and he is not A niche is tightened ...... And then I remembered how a month ago I changed the oil in the engine ..... distracted and installing protection back - the rear bolts did not stretch, be attentive friends. Protection Down, here it is a drain plug. As it turned out, a drain plug on the automatic transmission and on the manual transmission was both under TORKS T70, as the head lend to me the owner of the 100th year of the 2011. Here the oil turned out to be lighter, even I saw a dirty yellow color, not that in the rear gearbox

The plug is also magnetic, and also fine chips and oil of salidol consistency. We rub the plug and in place. Here in this tube there is a sealing ring, from some black metal, I bought and put a new one ( 803926090 - Its Article), although the old one was still nothing. Tighten the cork, put protection in place, without forgetting to stretch all the bolts.

Pour new oil into the box. It poured through the dipstick, which is under the hood on the right (from the passenger side). Since 150 ml. The syringe it seemed to me boringly pour 4 liters, was captured by a 0.5 liter automotive syringe, but the first attempt to use them crashed. The place there is little and need to be erupted, and this syringe is big and bulky, one word was small and more convenient and the straits less. So at 0.15 liters, all 4.0 liters and "got up". We rub all the drops and straits from the box, from the collector, from everywhere where the hand will be torn down with a rag. Check the oil level in the box, make sure everything is OK and close the hood.

This is how this way, I think all the secrets of the oil change in the rear gearbox and the MCPP Foreter SH Restayl are opened.

Subaru Forester is a fairly reliable and convenient crossover, which is equally convenient for both ride in the city and for country trips. Many motorists consider this model one of the best in their price range. But there is one problem - the cost maintenance Often very great. Therefore, many owners prefer to spend on their own. And one of the obligatory procedures is to replace the oil in the manual transmission on the Subaru Forester.

Periodicity and deadlines for changing oil in the MCPP Subaru

Most car manufacturers declare that the transfer of lubricant in the gearbox is not required: it is designed for the entire service life. But here there is one important moment - Machine manufacturers usually do not assume that the car will be used for more than 5-6 years. Therefore, the lubricant is still recommended.

Periodicity of oil change In the manual transmission on Subaru, Forester is as follows: drained and filling a new fluid after 80,000 mileage kilometers. With 100 thousand, according to drivers, there are problems with switching transmissions, and the color and consistency of the oil change greatly. It begins to resemble a resin and color, and viscosity. Therefore, the lubrication update schedule is better not to change.

Inexperienced driver to remember basic signsspeaking need soon owl replacement:

• Changes color and grease consistency. In the most launched cases, oil becomes dark brown or black (new fluid of light beige color). Viscosity changes - the liquid becomes thick, resembles a resin. It appears metal chips and dirt.
• There are problems with speed switching. The driver becomes harder to change the transfer, the switching lever sometimes encourages, a knock is heard from the gearbox. Fuel consumption increases, speed decreases. It is worth noting - the listed causes can be associated with certain breakdowns. If when the oil is replaced, the situation has not improved - it is necessary to contact the specialists. Perhaps the problem is in the gearbox or other nodes, and repair is required.

Still worth mentioning about choosing a suitable lubricant. The first car Subaru Forester model was released in 1997, and he has several different transactions of the manual transaction depending on the generation (there are four generations of these cars). But for models with a manual transmission, the recommendation remains unchanged - it is desirable to choose oil with marking API. GL-5 and 75W-90 viscosity (but 75W-80 is suitable).

Another important point: It is worth buying a synthetic lubricant, although the use of semi-synthetics is allowed for old models mineral Oil. Of concrete marks Mobil1 SHC 75W-90 can be recommended. But if necessary, any other high-quality liquid (example is ZiC GFT 75W-90). The required amount of oil is written in the car service book (watch the volume of the gearbox). In most cases, there are enough 3.5-4 liters of fluid.

Under the hood Subaru Forester:

Replacing the oil in the manual transmission

First describe the process of preparation for the replacement of oil In the manifestation in Subaru Forester. Here you have to purchase the necessary materials for replacement (new lubricant and compositions for cleaning the gearbox), prepare a machine to replace (in compliance with safety) and take the required toolkit. The listed procedures do not differ in difficulty, but it is recommended to conduct them strictly.

All begins shopping Oil and Frame Machines. And here should be taken into account - it is possible to wash not only special meansbut also standard transmission oil used in the MCPP Subaru Forester. It is necessary to choose from your own preferences and features. Details on fund types will be outlined below.

Then it is necessary to take care about a suitable tool. First, you need to remove the protection of the crankcase - a cross-cut screwdriver will be useful here. Another screwdriver will be required to unscrew the drain plug: with a cross section of TORX T70. In its absence, you can use the gas key (as a last resort). Be sure to need a container for the drain of the waste oil (enough metal pelvis at 5-6 liters). You can pour lubricant in the manual transmission using a funnel and hose or a volumetric syringe.

If you say in itself on the preparation of the machine and safety machine, then there are the following recommendations:

• the car is installed above the observation pit or overpass;
• the machine is fixed using the handbrake, is additionally placed in the speed (on the first or rear transmission). But if you need to not only change the oil, but also repairing the manual transmission, the car is better to leave on the "neutral". It is still worth installing the stoppers for each of the wheels;
• the gearbox should cool a little - the old oil is better to drain warm, but not hot (work with hot lubricant not very compliant with safety requirements);
• it is worthwheeling the COPP case so that dust and dirt do not get inside.

It is still worth remembering - if the replacement of oil for the Subaru Forester is not made on schedule, but because of leaks in the gearbox, then before pouring new liquid, It is necessary to make sure that the problem is eliminated. And not to repair independently - alas, most car owners do not have the necessary skills for repair, and, which is equally important, they have no equipment required.

Drain of old oil from a tank

First stage - removal of waste lubrication from the gearbox housing. The process of draining oil From the Tank Manager Subaru Forester looks like this:

• Carter protection is unscrewed. The metal plate is fastened with screws designed for a crust screwdriver. It is necessary to disconnect it from the bottom of the car and remove to the side.
• Under drainer Capacity is installed for spent transmission oil.
• The TORX T70 screwdriver (or gas key) is neatly unscrewed by a drain plug. To speed up the process, it is recommended to pull out oil Propedesigned to check the level of fluid in the gearbox.
• The entire volume of spent transmission oil merges. Upon completion, the drain plug is installed in place and grips tightly.

Appearance MCPP Subaru Forester:

Flushing pallet and chip removal

Immediately it is worth understanding - flushing of the pallet in the manual transmission In Subaru Forester is a standard shutting of the gearbox. The analysis of the design or carrying out additional, complex procedures is not required. Moreover, in the manual transmission, in fact, there is no separate pallet, unlike the automatic transmission: in the "mechanics" there is a Carter. But it is worth brushing from remnants of testing and metal chips.

Available three main rinsing methods Transmission:

• standard transmission oil;
• flushing lubrication;
• compositions for quick cleaning of the manual transmission.

Flushing standard transmission oil - The most common and applied method for cleaning the speed switching box. The essence in the following - the selected MCPP housing is poured transmission oil, and the car is driven over 2-3 days. It is necessary to travel constantly - the washing is carried out in the process of work and when transmitting transmissions. It is worth considering - in the mechanical box Subaru Forester there is no special bay hole. Lubrication is poured through the screw hole to check the fluid level.

Next option - cleaning special washing oil. It is worth considering: a number of drivers argue that the described technique harms a car. Therefore, it is recommended to carefully read the instructions for the use of flushing lubrication. In most cases, it is used according to the principle of hard oil: without sharp changes speed \u200b\u200bregime. Riding should be smooth, neat, without unnecessary shaking and without additional loads on the manual transmission. Depending on the type of oil, the washing occupies from 5-10 km of the run to 2-3 days of continuous driving.

Third method of cleaning - fasteners for quick washing. They are applied as follows: the remedy for 5-10 minutes is poured into the MCPP housing, and then merges. But it is worth considering - the method of use is written on the package, and it is recommended to read it carefully. Wherein cannot ride with a quick flushing device in the manual transmission! This will lead to her premature failure. And you need to choose a tool for cleaning the transmission: the composition for washing the engine here only hurts. By the way, it concerns and washing oil. If you do not pay attention to compliance, you will have to premature the car.

There is another option of the cleaning agent used by experienced drivers - soft cleaner. It is poured into a new lubricant, after complete cleaning of the gearbox. The compositions of the described type allow you to reduce the rate of contamination of the MCPP, simplify its cleaning with a future replacement of oil. But it is necessary to take into account - an inappropriate purifier in the composition reacts with lubricant and leads to problems with the operation of the speed switching box.

Separately, it is worth mentioning the option using diesel fuel or kerosene for washing MCPP. Some drivers are practiced, but most auto mechanics do not recommend spending such a flushing - it harms the gearbox and leads to premature repairs. In the worst case, the owner of the car will have to fully change this node of the transmission, which will cost very expensive.

It is necessary to take into account - upon completion of the washing, you can install the crankcase protection. Free access to the bottom of the car is no longer required.

Pouring new oil

It is worth considering - pouring new oil In Subaru, Forester is not provided by the manufacturer. It is likely that the factory experts believe: after 80-100 thousand kilometers, the owner will change either a gearbox or a whole car. Therefore, a separate hole for pouring oil in the manual transmission is not provided. Fortunately, there is a hole for the probe, sufficient to fill the gearbox with a new lubricant. The probe is easily pulled out manually, an additional tool is not required here.

Pour oil inside it is necessary to the bottom edge of the hole. It is important to remember - the car is obliged to be strictly in a horizontal position. In the case of inclination, the box will not be fully filled. Methods of filling the driver chooses independently, but experienced car owners recommend two main options:

• filling the manual transmission using a syringe;
• pour oil using funnels and plastic hose.

Filling MCPP with a syringe as follows. The syringe takes a sufficiently large size (for example, medical) and is thoroughly washed (it is not for the oil in contact with unauthorized fluids). Then from the canister with this syringe, lubricant is recruited and poured into the gearbox. The process is not fast, but allows you to safely fill the manual transmission, without shed butter and not blocked.

Second option - filling with the help of a funnel and hose. Allows you to fill the gearbox faster, but in this case it is harder to measure the desired amount of oil. The principle itself is simple: the hose is put on the funnel in one end, and the second is immersed in the hole for filling the oil. It is necessary to choose a hose that will be tightly "sit" on a funnel, while freely passing into the hole under the probe. Then the oil is poured through the funnel. Pulling should be in small portions by controlling the lubrication level.

At the end of the procedure, the probe is installed in place, and the operation of the gearbox is checked. If there are no problems with the manual transparency - it means that the oil replacement has passed successfully.
