Introduction
Applicable to H4D engines only (tutorial available for H4Bt).
Draining and (oil) level checking must be done on flat and level ground.
Does not require lifting the vehicle if you are thin enough to reach under it to reach the engine oil drain plug.
Does not require going under the engine if your arm is long enough to reach the oil filter.
OEM interval: every 20,000km/1 year under optimal conditions of use. Reduce the intervals in case of severe use (see Wiki).
Oil Specifications: See Wiki.
-
-
Unscrew the 6 screws by hand or with a T50 socket.
-
Lift and set aside the engine hood.
-
-
-
Raise the oil dipstick and unscrew the filler cap to facilitate the flow of oil.
-
Place a drain pan under the vehicle to collect the oil.
-
Loosen the drain plug using an 8mm square wrench then finish by hand.
-
Allow the oil to drain until there are no more drops.
-
-
-
Move the drain pan to under the oil filter.
-
Unscrew the oil filter by hand, keep it facing upwards: it is still full. Use and/or obtain a filter wrench if it is too tight.
-
-
-
Pre-fill the filter with an oil of recommended specifications (see Wiki). Fill it as much as possible, taking into account the fact that it is installed at an angle.
-
Lightly lubricate the seal.
-
Clean the adjoining surface then screw in the new filter, preferably by hand. You can use a sheet of paper toweling to help yourself grip the filter better.
-
-
-
-
Clean the engine oil pan area and wipe the oil dipstick.
-
Replace the drain plug gasket. The grooved side must be on the side of the cap if it has one.
-
Tighten the drain plug using an 8mm square wrench to a torque of 50 N.m (RTA).
-
-
-
Disconnect the connectors from the 3 injectors to prevent the engine from starting and proceed later to prime the oil circuit.
-
-
-
Fill the crankcase to the MAX level with an oil with the specifications mentioned in the Wiki.
-
The theoretical oil capacity is: 3.7L for the crankcase + 600mL for the filter (4.3L in total). In fact, you had to load the filter a little less so as not to spill any oil since it is installed at an angle.
-
-
-
Applicable to all: Run the engine with the starter for several seconds to circulate the oil. Repeat twice.
-
SPECIFIC models where the dashboard (oil pressure light is displayed with the engine stopped): Turn the starter until oil pressure is detected. Repeat twice.
-
-
-
Wait a few minutes after priming the engine oil circuit with the starter.
-
Check and adjust the oil level. This should move very little after the first real start, the circuit having just been primed.
-
-
-
Reconnect the 3 injectors.
-
Start the engine and let it idle for a few moments.
-
Listen carefully to the sound of the engine and make sure there are no suspicious noises.
-
-
-
Stop the engine.
-
Wait a few minutes. Check the oil level again and adjust if necessary.
-
-
-
In the 'Drain Autonomy' menu, hold one of the two buttons on the right "control stalk" for a few seconds to reset the counter.
-
Congratulations ! You have just changed the engine oil in your Twingo!
All you have to do is note the date, mileage and oil used in your maintenance logbook. You can also note how old the oil was (in km) using the drain counter indication.
