Oil filter


Step 1:
Ensure the engine is cooled but not cold. I let it's stand for 30-40min after normal
driving - then start the process
Remove the under body samp protection. Ensures no mess.
Slightly pull the oil check dipstick.
Unscrew the oil filler cap, just leave unscrew in position ontop.








Step 2:
Get all the parts ready.

Step 3:
Position an oil drain under the sump. Take note of the side position of the sump
plug. It uses a 19mm to undo.
Note the oil will release about 25-30cm in the direction of the drain hole. Make
sure - it can create a mess!! I used one of the Addis flat oil drain pans you buy at
Autozone. remove the plug and let it drain.

the filter easily plus off the plastic shaft. Remove the 3 o-rings with a small flat
screwdriver. Replace them with the rings in the oil filter kit - parts in the box as
per above. The new filter then just slots back in - NOTE the top side needs to go
to the Top.









Replaced filter


Step 6:
Replace the oil filter top back into the canister and redo with the 32mm socket.
DO Not over tighten. Almost just hand tight is good enough!

At this stage ensure the dipstick is slotted back into position too.

Step 7:
No more oil draining replace the sump plug with the new one. Again check not to
over tighten the plug!
Replace the underbody protection plates you have.

Step 8:
Add the new oil. 1 5l of the oil the. 1/2 of the other to make it 7.5l in total.
Replace the filler cap.

Start the Rok and let it turn over. Check the oil levels - should all be OK for the
next 7,500Km.
