Everyone who sits behind the wheel is obliged to know the basics of servicing the vehicle. Let's figure it out today how to drain the engine oil and for which this process may be needed.

Causes of oil drain need

If you drive on the same transport facility not one year, you heard that sooner or later you have to merge or replace the oil, so it is better to be ready for such a situation so that there are no problems on the way.

In fact, the reasons for which it may be necessary to drain oil, there is quite a lot, so let's see for a start in this matter more. First of all, I would like to say that, first of all, it is the manufacturer that recommends periodically to drain the oil from the engine.

First we answer the question why the oil drains may need:

It should be understood that the oil is a liquid, which, like everyone else, has its own shelf life, that is, it is not recommended to use more than its deadline. Otherwise, the car can stop working in normal mode.
If the oil lost its initial qualitative characteristics or the chemical composition has changed. It happens that chips from metal fall into the oil, and if it happened, it will be necessary to change it in obligatory order.
It is necessary to change the oil according to plan (in this case, the main factor for oil replacing is the need for maintenance)
Some vehicle drivers are poured into the power unit, and then they are enough for the head and do not know how to refuse such oil from the "heart" of the car.
If your car needs overhaul, then the oil must be replaced in mandatory.
If you decide to change for some reason the glands, inserts or gaskets, then the oil changes in automatic mode.
In the event that for some reason, the oil was filled with an oil not that brand or in the case when in the engine 2 of different types of oil mixed together.

Now that the reasons found out, let's find out how to pump out the engine oil.

Methods of draining engine oil

Today we will consider several ways that you can merge the oil from the engine. It should be noted that each of the proposed methods has a number of advantages, so you need to consider in detail each of them.

To begin with, consider the traditional method, which is most often used by motorists. This method consists in draining oil from the plug-in type (its location - on the pallet of the motor crankcase). If you need to merge the extra oil, then this method is perpetrators for such purposes. This method is as follows:

To begin with, the motorist or just the driver must disable terminal-minus with the battery. This stage should be carried out at each repairs, but, to great regret, few people adhere to this rule, although disobedience in this case can pour into a serious problem. Here you should not rely exclusively for good luck.

The car should stand in such a way that the driver can without any problems can get to the bottom of the car. It is best if you put a car on the pit for repair of vehicles. Also in this case will be relevant to use the lift.
When access to the car is free, you need to substitute a container, a volume of 6 - 15 liters. It all depends on which capacity has a cylindrical block.
Now it's time to unscrew the plug cork, and the oil will gradually flush from the "heart" of the vehicle.

That's so simple, but not very fast, you can merge oil.

We drain the oil with the help of the tubes

It is necessary to immediately note that this method is not often used and is not most convenient, but it takes place:

The driver ships neatly a plastic tube into a motor.
Typically, the tube is shoved through the neck (bay type).
We connect the pump and carefully in not too fast, press engine oil.

These two ways can be called effective, only the second method is applied less often, and specialists do not recommend the second way to apply, because it is less safe, because if such an oil falls for some reason in the body, there will be urgent hospitalization.

You should not also forget that it is not worth stirring a pair of oil species, because it is fraught with such consequences:

It should be noted that different oils have a different composition (if we talk about chemical composition), respectively, mixing two types of oil, both types lose their useful properties. To speak precisely about oil, it loses such qualities as normal thermal conductivity and cooling.
