How much oil is in the Daewoo Nexia engine - 8 and 16 valve versions

Daewoo Nexia is a very popular car on the secondary market. The machine is structurally simple and understandable, and does not require large expenses for independent maintenance. And as a result, more and more Daewoo Nexia owners are ready to repair their car at home. At the same time, Nexia owners have many questions about the frequency of engine oil changes, as well as what parameters are best to use when choosing a fluid. Also in this article we will consider separately how much oil should be poured into the Daewoo Nexia engine.

The right choice - manufacturer's recommendation

Which engine oil is suitable for Daewoo Nexia? The answer to this question must be found in the vehicle's operating manual, in the section on fluids recommended by the manufacturer. When serviced by an official dealer, you will most likely be offered one of the recommended oils, the manufacturer of which the dealer cooperates with. If you are serviced at a regular service station or want to replace it yourself, you can choose any of the recommended motor oils. The main thing with this choice is not to make a mistake by choosing the right one for the conditions in which the car is operated.

Oil table for Daewoo Nexia.

For Daewoo Nexia, SAE 5W-30, SAE 10W-40, SAE 15W-40 are recommended. All of them, according to the international classification, belong to the so-called all-season oils, that is, they can be used all year round. The number before the letter W indicates the oil viscosity in winter conditions, and the lower it is, the easier it is to start the engine in the cold season. The numbers after W refer to the summer period and indicate viscosity at high temperatures. The higher they are, the greater the viscosity of the oil in summer, which means that the car engine is lubricated more reliably and efficiently.

When choosing engine oil, you should rely on the Daewoo manufacturer's specifications. As for the brand, it is inappropriate to provide any lists here due to constantly changing manufacturer tolerances in this area.

Regulations

Russian owners of Daewoo Nexia have long not paid attention to the manufacturer's recommendations regarding the frequency of oil changes, and proceed mainly from practical considerations. We must immediately admit that under Russian operating conditions the oil change regulations cannot be the same. Negative climatic factors make themselves felt over time, and this cannot have a positive effect on the service life of the oil, and at the same time the durability of the power plant. Firstly, initially we must base the replacement period on 10 thousand kilometers, and then the frequency can be reduced if the need arises. Secondly, let’s pay attention to unfavorable operating conditions:

• Frequent driving on bad roads, including off-road, dusty country roads, muddy ground, etc.
• Driving at high speeds
• The engine constantly runs at high speeds, overheating occurs
• Changes in temperature and climate: rain gives way to snow, and low temperatures give way to a sudden thaw

Any of the above factors may cause you to change your oil more frequently. In such cases, it is better to replace consumables after 5 thousand kilometers, or even earlier. In addition, it would be a good idea to check the level and condition of the fluid in a timely manner.

Checking the oil level and condition

To correctly determine the amount of liquid remaining, you need to use a dipstick. There are Max and Min marks on it, by which you can understand the oil level. For example, if the fluid is below the minimum level (Min), then topping up will be necessary. In this case, it is better not to overflow, otherwise you will have to drain the oil later. The optimal oil level is between Max and Min.

It is worth noting the fact that just adding oil will be enough if the oil is relatively clean and transparent. If the fluid becomes cloudy and darkened, or emits a specific odor and even contains dirt deposits, then immediate replacement will be required.

Control and topping up

Before changing consumables, be sure to check its level in the power unit. This is due to the fact that the oil volume may be higher or lower than normal. Increasing or decreasing levels can lead to serious consequences. Therefore, it is important to know whether such a problem exists or not in order to solve it in a timely manner.

Dipstick for checking the lubricant level

How to check the level correctly?

The volume of lubricant is checked using a dipstick installed in the inspection hole of the motor. Ideally, the control should show that the oil level is between the MIN and MAX marks marked on the dipstick. In this case, diagnostics should be carried out on a cold engine. If you have recently driven, wait until the engine cools down. This will allow the oil to flow down the walls of the internal combustion engine. Then the check will give the most accurate result. Diagnostics is carried out with the machine installed on a flat surface. Remove the dipstick from the inspection hole and wipe it with a dry cloth, then lower it down and remove it again.

When adding consumables, please note that you must use a similar lubricant. Consumption of 0.6 liters of lubricant per 100 liters of fuel is normal, as noted by the manufacturer in the service manual. If during diagnostics you notice the presence of foreign particles in the fluid or traces of dirt, then the lubricant must be replaced. When the check is completed, the dipstick must be put in place and pressed in until it stops.

How much to fill

Let's consider how much oil to fill for each Daewoo Nexia engine:

Engine – petrol, 1.5 G15MF, 75 l. With.

• How much to fill - 3.8 liters
• Year of manufacture – 1995-2008

Engine – petrol, 1.5 16V DOHC, A15 MF, 85-90 l. With.

• How much to fill - 3.8 liters
• Year of manufacture – 2002-2008

Engine – petrol, 1.6 16V 100+ hp. With.

• How much to fill – 4 liters
• Year of manufacture – since 2008

The volume of oil is indicated in the amount that needs to be filled after a comprehensive flushing of the engine from old fluid. In other words, the specified volume cannot be maintained if only a partial oil change has been carried out. Naturally, this method of topping up is not suitable. A complete flush can also be done in a garage, but to do this you will have to drain and fill in new oil several times, with intervals of 500-700 kilometers. Continue until fresh clear liquid begins to seep out of the engine during draining. By ensuring complete cleaning, you can be sure that new oil will be added in the required quantity.

Technical oils for Daewoo Nexia and working fluids

Daewoo Nexia is a representative of small class cars.
Initially, specialists from the German company Opel worked on the development of the model. Later it was modernized by a South Korean concern. The car is manufactured by Daewoo. It has gained great popularity both in Russia and other CIS countries. The model attracts car enthusiasts with its reliability and low price. Daewoo Nexia has two generations in its history. Body type – sedan and hatchback. The model is equipped with petrol power units of 1.5 and 1.6 liters. Transmission - 5-speed manual transmission and 4-speed automatic transmission. The model will be discontinued in 2021.

What the manufacturer says: recommendations for choosing and changing oils

The manufacturer does not say a word about the brands that produce oils, giving complete freedom of choice to Nexia owners.

The manufacturer recommends choosing the oil viscosity based on the operating conditions of the vehicle.

The only thing the factory advises is to comply with the viscosity specifications of the oil. Viscosity will be determined in accordance with climatic conditions and average engine loads. The requirements are simple:

1. The oil can be either synthetic or semi-synthetic. The use of mineral oils is highly discouraged.
2. According to the API standard, the oil must be of at least SM/CF .
3. Oil with a viscosity of SAE 5W-30 should only be used at temperatures below 20 degrees below zero.
4. In the average climate zone, it is recommended to use oils with a viscosity of 5W-40 or 5W-50 .
5. In southern regions it is better to use oil 5W-50, 10W-40, 10W-50 .

Table for selecting the required engine oil viscosity.

Oil volumes in engines 8 and 16 valves

For both 8 and 16 valve 1.5 liter engines, the oil volume is approximately the same - 3.8 liters.

150-200 g more into the 1.6-liter 16-valve engine .

Replacement timing

Standard oil change intervals for all engines are 10,000 km or one year of operation.

It is worth considering that if the car sits most of the time, this does not affect the timing of the oil change. The lubricant oxidizes, ages and loses its quality even when the engine is not running. If the operating conditions are harsh and the load on the engine is high, the mileage before replacement is reduced to 5-7 thousand km.

What kind of oil to pour into the Daewoo Nexia gasoline engine

Original oil

Since the manufacturer does not provide any recommendations on the brand, the driver’s task is to choose a lubricant according to the SAE viscosity index. Authorized service stations usually used Castrol synthetic 5W-30 (all-season) and semi-synthetic 10W-40 (all-season) motor oils. However, the motorist retains the right to choose motor oils from other manufacturers. The main thing is that these are high-quality and certified lubricants. Viscosity is determined depending on the climatic characteristics of the region in which the vehicle is operated. Oil with a viscosity of SAE 5W-30 should be used at temperatures below 20 degrees below zero. In the average climate zone, it is recommended to use SAE 5W-40 oil. Since Daewoo Nexia engines already have a significant mileage, semi-synthetics will be the preferred choice. There is one “native” oil for Daewoo with DOHC and SOCH engines, but the standard is already outdated.

However, the API SJ standard can be recommended for cars produced before 2001; it is best to pour higher quality lubricants into the engines of cars produced later. Therefore, most motorists use analog oils from trusted manufacturers. When purchasing material, make sure you have a certificate confirming the originality of the product and its high quality.

Approved analogues by tolerance

Choosing engine oil for Daewoo Nexia

All oils are good unless they are fake. And it is true.

What oil manufacturers write on the labels.

Even good mineral oil can be safely used in the summer - there are guaranteed to be no leaks, there will be no problems with pressure, and mineral oil is much cheaper than synthetic oils. Only if it is of guaranteed quality.

Semi-synthetic oils also have a right to life. Pouring synthetic into a worn-out engine is a waste of money . This oil is very fluid and will quickly find a place to leak out. And the pressure will suffer. The only case where synthetic oil is absolutely required is in extremely low temperatures. In this case, the engine will start better in the cold, and it will be possible to comply with the factory recommendations for nominal viscosity. Let our wallet dictate the brand of oil.

The oil canister must indicate the product’s compliance with international standards.

How to change engine oil on a Daewoo Nexia

The lubrication system is an important element; it not only protects the engine from wear, but also provides it with additional removal of excess heat. Timely replacement of engine oil allows you to operate your vehicle longer without breakdowns.

Daewoo Nexia was produced for a long time. The 1.5 liter 8 valve engines, as well as the 1.6 16 valve version, have gained popularity among drivers. Which, although they differ structurally, are replaced in approximately the same way.

Stages of replacing lubricant Daewoo Nexia

The oil change process is not labor-intensive, so you can do it yourself.

The operation is suitable for cars of different years of manufacture with 1.5-1.6 liter engines. In particular, this operation will be the same for:

• Daewoo Nexia 1 (Daewoo Nexia I N100, Restyling);
• Daewoo Nexia II N150, Restyling.

Draining waste fluid

The lubricant needs to be changed on a warm but slightly cooled engine, so there is little time to remove the protection. To gain normal access to the Daewoo Nexia pan, as well as the oil filter.

Raise the hood, then find the filler neck on the engine and unscrew the plug (Fig. 1).

To unscrew the filter element, it is advisable to have a special puller. If it is not available, you can try to unscrew the filter using improvised means. For these purposes, you can use, for example, an old alternator belt, a regular belt, a bicycle chain or a simple screwdriver.

This method produces the most complete drainage of old engine oil. Despite the seemingly complex process, there should not be any particular difficulties.

Flushing the lubrication system

Engine flushing on a Daewoo Nexia car should only be carried out in exceptional cases, which include:

1. Purchasing a used car when you cannot be sure of the quality and regularity of lubricant replacements.
2. During operation, the service replacement interval was repeatedly exceeded.
3. Engine operation with constant frequent overheating, which contributes to coking and other deposits.
4. In cases of switching to another type, for example from synthetics to semi-synthetics.

There are several types of flushes for the Daewoo Nexia engine:

• Five- or seven-minute, capable of cleaning even the most difficult deposits. They must be used very carefully and strictly follow the instructions printed on the packaging. It is recommended to use them only when absolutely necessary. Since there is a high probability of causing premature wear of the sealing seals. And also clog the oil channels with particles of washed away carbon deposits.
• Special compounds that are added to the oil several hundred kilometers before the expected change. They are more gentle, but there is also a possibility of clogging of the oil channels.
• Flushing oil is the most gentle method of cleaning the engine from the inside. This composition is poured after draining the waste, the engine runs for 15-20 minutes, after which the liquid with deposits is drained. The absence of aggressive additives in the wash composition gently cleans the engine, but is not able to remove heavy contaminants.
• Regular oil that you are going to use when changing. This method is not so popular due to its high cost.

Installing a filter, filling in new engine fluid

If the lubrication system of the Daewoo Nexia is sealed and does not require repair work to eliminate leaks, you can proceed to filling in fresh engine oil. In addition to the oil itself, we will need a new gasket-washer for the drain plug GM 94525114. As well as the original GM oil filter 96879797. If you wish, you can look for analogues on the Internet.

When everything is ready, let's move on to the bay:

1. Replace the drain plug with a new washer.
2. We tighten and put the oil filter in place. Pre-lubricate the rubber sealing ring with fresh oil.
3. Pour new oil into the filler neck.
4. We check the level on the dipstick; it should be between the MIN and MAX marks.
5. We start the engine, let it run for 10-15 seconds, then turn it off.
6. After 5 minutes, check the level with a dipstick and top up if necessary.

Replacement frequency, what oil to fill

According to the manufacturer's regulations, service changes of engine oil for Daewoo Nexia are carried out after 15,000 kilometers or at intervals of 1 year. But many motorists consider this interval to be a little too high, recommending that it be reduced taking into account operating conditions.

According to the passport and the operating instructions, the tolerances that the engine oil must have are given. The manufacturer's recommendation indicates the use of original oil, in this case it is GM Motor Oil 5W-30 Dexos2.

The manufacturer allows the use of analogues, the only thing is that they must be approved by General Motors Dexos2. The following brands are most popular among car owners:

• Castrol EDGE 5W-30
• Elf Solaris LLX SAE 5W-30
• Liqui Moly Top Tec 4200 5W-30
• Mobil 1 ESP 5W-30
• Shell Shell Helix Ultra Extra 5W-30
• Total Quartz Ineo MC3 5W-30
• Valvoline SynPower MST C3 5W-30
• Wolf Official Tech 5W-30
• ZIC X9 LS 5W-30
• Lukoil Genesis Claritech 5W-30

How much oil is in the engine lubrication system, volume table

How much oil to fill?

The second, no less pressing question that arises from the consumer when purchasing a lubricant: how much oil is in the Daewoo Nexia engine, does this indicator vary depending on the modification of the power unit? Regardless of the type of engine, according to the automaker, it will need 3.8 liters of lubricant to completely replace it. In practice, a little less lubricant may enter, this depends on the quality of draining the used emulsion. Accordingly, to completely change the lubricant in the Daewoo Nexia engine, the volume of oil required for purchase is four liters.

Leaks and problems

The longer the mileage of the Daewoo Nexia becomes, the more problems appear, as in principle with any car. Most often this is due to natural wear and tear of the engine, causing oil to burn. Although the manufacturer allows for a small consumption.

If, when inspecting the engine for leaks, they are found, then eliminating the leak, and with it the burns, is not difficult. But if there are no signs of leakage, then you should pay attention to the following nuances. Increased oil consumption can be affected by driving at high speeds, as well as frequent idling of the engine.

On 16 valve engines there is a common problem, oil in the spark plug wells. The reason for this lies in the valve cover gasket. The covers themselves come in plastic and aluminum.

Therefore, in order not to make a mistake, owners are advised to choose not the original, but the analogue Victor Reinz 15-53456-01 (155345601), this gasket is suitable for any type. You will also need o-rings for the bolts. Here you can save money and buy from Kamaz, article number 7401003040. And of course, don’t forget to buy sealant for the gasket. And also a cleaner for cleaning oil from the seating surface.

All this is general information, which may manifest itself differently on each specific vehicle, since everyone’s operating modes are different. The same applies to leak locations; it is impossible to identify the cause from a distance.

The process of changing engine oil in an 8- and 16-valve Daewoo Nexia

There is a widespread opinion among drivers that if the car is clean, then it starts well and drives faster. And in order to prevent it from breaking, it is necessary to constantly monitor its technical condition. In this article we will talk in detail about such a procedure as changing engine oil for Daewoo Nexia 8 valves and 16 valves.

When replacing a motor lubricant mixture, you must take into account the mileage and time of its use in the engine. The characteristics of the lubricant deteriorate not only during the operation of the car, but also during its aging . If the car is used in difficult conditions, namely during frequent starts of a cold engine or frequent trips in a modern city, the engine fluid must be changed before the period specified in the instructions.

Engine oil for Daewoo Nexia 8 valves

It is worth pouring one of the above motor oils into the Daewoo Nexia eight-valve engine. It is best to give preference to semi-synthetic lubricants.

If synthetics are your priority, then the following oils would be a good choice:

• Castrol SLX Professional 5W-30
• Eneos 5W-40;
• 5W-30 GM;
• ELF Competition;
• Esso 5W-40.

Oil for Daewoo Nexia 8 valves must be original and of high quality.

Getting ready for replacement

The motor lubricant in the Daewoo Nexia engine, regardless of how many valves it has, needs to be changed every 10,000 kilometers, but in our conditions this period should be halved, that is, after 5,000 kilometers. Also, when changing engine lubrication, it will not be superfluous to replace the oil filter, regardless of how many valves there are in the engine.

How much oil to pour?

On average, a replacement will require about 3.75 liters of oil for an 8-valve and 16-valve power unit. In a word, buy a four-liter canister at the store.

What kind of oil should I use?

The choice of lubricant brand is individual, there are no restrictions, and it is better to give preference to brands with a better reputation, but the oil must meet the following conditions:

• quality level SC/CC or higher;
• viscosity 5W-30, 10W-40, 15W-40.

Domestic oils can also be used if they meet the required specifications.

Which oil should you choose?

Before you start directly changing the oil, you should decide on the type of fluid and also buy it. As it turns out, choosing motor oil for the Daewoo Nexia is not an easy task, especially since the manufacturer does not indicate in the instructions the brands of motor oils recommended for filling. The manufacturer regulates the selection of oil only by its class, recommends using synthetic or semi-synthetic, and also takes into account viscosity characteristics and standards. Let's try to figure out which oil is best to fill in the Daewoo Nexia engine, and also answer the question of whether there is a difference between the selected motor oil depending on the engine modification: 8 or 16 valves.

When choosing engine oil for Nexia, regardless of the number of valves in the power unit, you should focus on the following parameters:

1. Product compliance with the API classifier is not lower than SM/CF category.
2. In harsh climatic zones, where the temperature drops below minus twenty degrees Celsius, it is worth giving preference to motor oils that meet the SAE viscosity criteria of 5W30.
3. In temperate climate zones, it is better to fill the Nexia engine with oil that meets the 5W40 and 5W50 standards.
4. Operating a vehicle in regions with a hot climate requires filling with a lubricant that is more adapted to high temperature conditions, equal to or higher in rank than the 5W50 marking.

Oil for Daewoo Nexia has no restrictions on labeling, the main thing is that the lubricating fluid has the appropriate certificates and meets the characteristics recommended by the manufacturer. Nexia engines, regardless of modification, are not considered too fussy regarding the lubricant to be poured; what kind of oil to pour is decided by the car owner himself. When choosing a lubricant, you should focus on the viscosity coefficient, depending on the climatic conditions in which the machine is operated and the degree of load on the engine.

We are replacing

First of all, before the shift you need to make sure that the Daewoo Nexia car is standing on a flat, horizontal surface. It is better to carry out work in a pit or overpass. If this is not possible, you will need to jack up the car, and all safety measures must be observed.

Tools

• new oil;
• a new filter element, better than the original one, but there are also excellent filters from other companies;
• drain plug o-ring;
• filter remover (you may need it if you can’t unscrew it by hand);

Filter wrench

• a capacity of approximately 5 liters for draining waste liquid; you can make it from a plastic bottle or canister. Be sure to wash it, because then you can really evaluate the quality of the used oil;
• gloves, because during such work, used oil can flow onto your hands, which is very harmful to the skin;
• a set of keys;
• screwdriver;
• a funnel made of any material, if necessary, can be rolled out of thick paper;
• rags.

Instructions

1. Open the hood lid.
2. Unscrew and remove the filler cap to fill the oil.

Unscrew the neck plug

Inspect the drained oil. Its color should be uniform. If you notice sand or shavings, this is a serious cause for concern, as these are the first symptoms of engine problems.

There should be no circles of coolant on the surface of the drained lubricating mixture; the consistency of the oil should be thick and viscous.

Used grease must be properly disposed of. If oil stains appear in the place where you carried out repairs, be sure to fill them with sand.

How to change the oil in a Daewoo Nexia engine

One of the most important procedural elements in the maintenance of Daewoo Nexia is changing the engine oil. Machines of this brand successfully combine affordability and quality, unpretentious operation and low maintenance costs. The frequency of engine oil changes maintains the technical condition of the Daewoo Nexia at the proper level.

Features of replacing motor lubricant

Replacing motor lubricant in the Daewoo Nexia engine raises 3 main questions among car enthusiasts:

1. How often should the procedure be performed?
2. What substance should I pour?
3. How much should there be?

The answers to these questions have some important nuances and require detailed coverage.

How often are they replaced?

Replacing the engine lubricant of a Daewoo Nexia car is carried out at strict intervals. The manufacturer sets recommended regulations for two indicators - service life and mileage. Therefore, intervals are determined at which replacement is carried out every six months or 10 thousand km.

However, vehicles are operated in different conditions, which have different effects on each specific engine. Starting the engine at sub-zero temperatures or using the car in constant city traffic jams, with frequent stops and slow motion at low speeds, can reduce the recommended intervals by half. In other words, difficult vehicle operating conditions require replacing the engine lubricant after 3 months (once per quarter) or 5000 km.

Choosing motor lubricant

The vehicle's operating manual contains specific recommendations regarding which lubricant is optimal for the engine. Factory requirements cannot always be met. You have to choose from the available options. It is important to take into account a number of conditions.

There are no special restrictions on the use of this or that motor lubricant. You can use domestically produced lubricants. But they must meet the following characteristics:

viscosity indicators are within the classified limits according to SAE: 5W-30, 10W-40, 15W-40; compliance with a high level of certified quality (SC/CC marking).

Substances with the indicated indicators belong to the category of all-season oils. Such a lubricant can successfully withstand various loads all year round.

Required volume

The volume of motor fluid poured is not determined by how many valves the power unit has, what its power and design features are. To replace it, just purchase a 4-liter canister of motor lubricant. Typically it takes 3.75 liters to fill. A small reserve can be used as a top-up for further use of the car.

• How many liters of oil in the engine (total volume): 3.75 liters.
• Oil consumption per 1000 km: up to 600 ml.
• When to change oil: 15000

If the car is clean inside, it will start easier and drive faster. And in order for it not to fail, it is necessary to monitor its technical condition.

Changing the oil in the Daewoo Nexia engine is an important maintenance step. It must be carried out in a timely manner. The frequency of replacement should be in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations.

In Daewoo Nexia, it is recommended to change the oil every 10 thousand kilometers or after half a year of using the car. However, if the car has to be used in difficult conditions, then replacement will need to be carried out more often. Extreme operating conditions include starting the engine at sub-zero temperatures, using the car on city roads where traffic jams are common, etc.

When using a car, it is necessary to periodically monitor the oil level, because its lack or excess can lead to big problems.

An increased amount of oil usually leads to carbon deposits. If the oil level is too low, the engine may begin to malfunction or soon fail. Checking the lubricant level is easy. You just need to place the car on level ground and wait until the engine cools down.

After this, you will need to remove the oil dipstick, remove the grease with a dry rag, lower the stop into place and inspect it.

How to change motor lubricant yourself

You can replace the engine oil in a Daewoo car with your own hands. This procedure is not particularly difficult. However, the operations carried out require a responsible and careful attitude. Therefore, before changing the lubricant, it is advisable to find and watch a visual video. Then it will be easier to navigate the order of actions and their purpose.

Necessary tools

To change the motor lubricant in the Daewoo Nexia, you need to prepare in advance:

• new oil to replace (preferably the original or one that is closer to it in terms of basic parameters);
• new filter (preferably original);
• sealing ring for the drain plug;
• special puller for unscrewing the filter;
• screwdriver;
• a set of keys;
• funnel;
• container for used lubricant;
• rags;
• gloves.

Step by step order

1. The machine must be installed to ensure that the drain hole is positioned at the lowest point in the crankcase. This will ensure that no old oil remains in the crankcase.
2. The hood lid is opened and the plug is removed from the neck of the engine lid.
3. A container is installed under the drain plug.
4. The plug is unscrewed and the used engine oil is drained.
5. Removing the old filter. Its replacement can be done in several ways. The part is unscrewed with a special puller, having first removed the protection from below. If you don’t want to bother with removing the protection, you can unscrew the filter from the top. The element is wrapped in coarse sandpaper to prevent slipping, and then, using as much force as possible, it is unscrewed with one hand.
6. All components are wiped with a rag, especially the filter seat.
7. The same oil that is planned to be filled is used to lubricate the sealing ring of the new filter.
8. A new filter is installed: you need to tighten it by hand as best you can. It is not recommended to use a key.
9. The sealing washer of the drain plug is replaced, which is screwed into the drain hole.
10. Fresh engine oil must be poured through the filler neck. The same amount is poured in as was drained. Then it is topped up to the required level.
11. All parts that were dismantled are returned to their places.
12. The engine starts. After starting it, you need to monitor the engine oil pressure light. If after 2-10 seconds it goes out, then the replacement was successful. If the light continues to light, you need to turn off the Daewoo Nexia engine and determine the causes of possible malfunctions.
13. Some time after stopping the engine, check the lubricant level using the dipstick. Do this on a cooled engine. Add as much as needed to the MAX mark.
14. Inspect the car and the area under it for leaks. If everything is clean and dry, you can continue to operate the vehicle.

It is necessary to analyze the drained lubricant. It should have a uniform color. Sand, chips, or circles left by coolant found in the lubricant are serious causes for concern. These indicators are often the first symptoms of serious engine problems.

The positive consistency of used lubricant is characterized by uniform thickness and viscosity. In one of the videos you can see what a normal spent motor substance looks like.
