If the car is clean inside, it will start easier and go faster. And in order for it not to fail, it is required to control its technical condition.
Changing the oil in a Daewoo Nexia engine is an important maintenance step. It needs to be done in a timely manner. The replacement interval 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 operated in difficult conditions, then the 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 turn into big problems.
An increased amount of oil usually leads to the appearance of carbon deposits. If the oil level is too low, the motor may start to malfunction or fail soon. It is easy to check the lubrication level. It will only be necessary to place the car on a flat area and wait until the engine cools down.
After that, you will need to remove the oil dipstick, remove the lubricant with a dry rag, lower the emphasis into place and inspect it.
The oil level should be in the middle between the maximum and minimum marks. If necessary, lubricant will need to be added. If the oil level is normal, but after the inspection you find foreign impurities in the oil, then it will need to be completely changed. After the test is completed, the probe will need to be returned to its place. It is inserted all the way. Watch this moment carefully, otherwise, when the car is moving, the oil may begin to splatter and fall on the hot parts of the engine, which is fraught with ignition.
What engine oil to choose for Daewoo Nexia?
It is best to use the lubricant recommended by the manufacturer. For Daewoo Nexia, SAE 10W-40, SAE 5W-30, SAE 15W-40 oils are recommended. All of them are all season. This means that they can be used all year round. The number before the W indicates the viscosity of the oil in winter conditions. The lower the viscosity, the easier it will be to start the engine at low temperatures. The number W indicates the viscosity of the lubricant in the summer. The higher this number is, the higher the viscosity will be.
Do-it-yourself oil change for Daewoo Nexia
When unscrewing the drain filter, make sure that the sleeves of your clothes are long enough. This way you will be able to avoid contact between the skin and the screen of the exhaust manifold.
When removing the oil filter from above, it is necessary to prepare a piece of cloth in advance and spread it under the filter on the crankcase protection. In this case, the oil that will flow from the filter will not spread over the protection. So that the driver can draw the right conclusions regarding the tightness of the system.
There is a widespread opinion among drivers that if the car is clean, then it starts well and drives faster. And in order for it not to break, 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 and 16 valves.
When replacing a motor lubricating mixture, the mileage and time of its use in the motor must be taken into account. The characteristics of the lubricant deteriorate not only during the operation of the car, but also during its aging. In the case of operating a car in difficult conditions, namely during frequent starts of a cold engine or frequent trips in a modern city, the engine fluid must be changed earlier than the period specified in the instructions.

Getting ready to replace
The motor lubricant in the Daewoo Nexia engine, no matter 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, no matter 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 powertrain. In a word, buy a four-liter canister in the store.
What kind of oil to pour?
The choice of brand of lubricant 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 requirements.
We carry out a replacement
First of all, before the shift, you need to make sure that the Daewoo Nexia car is on a flat horizontal surface. Work is best done in a pit or overpass. If this is not possible, then you will need to jack the car, and all safety measures must be observed.

- Open the hood cover.
- Unscrew and remove the oil filler cap.
- We remove the engine protection, if it is provided.
- Place a container under the drain plug.
- Carefully unscrew the plug.
- Drain the used oil.
- We unscrew the old filter element with a key.
- We wipe all parts and assemblies with a rag.
- Lubricate the new ring with fresh grease.
- We put a new filter element, but you need to tighten it with your hands, in no case should you use the key.
- When the oil is filled, we install in their places all the parts that had to be removed.
- We start the engine.
- At this stage, you need to pay attention to the bulb that controls the pressure. If the light goes out within 15-20 seconds, then everything is in order. If not, then you need to turn off the engine and find out the cause of a possible malfunction.
- Pay attention to the oil level. If it is above the maximum mark, then you need to drain a little, if it is lower, you need to top up.
- Be sure to inspect the vehicle and the space underneath. Make sure there is no oil leak anywhere.
Inspect the drained oil. Its color should be uniform. If you notice sand or chips, then this is a serious cause for concern, as these are the first symptoms of engine problems.
There should be no coolant circles on the surface of the drained lubricating mixture, the oil should be thick and viscous.
Used grease must be properly disposed of. If there are oil stains in the place where you carried out the repair, then be sure to cover them with sand.
Serial production of the Daewoo Nexia started in 1994. Built on the basis of the Opel Kadett, the model was equipped with power plants with a volume of 1.5 and 1.6 liters and competed with the then popular Hyundai Accent and Daewoo Lanos. In 2008, the car received a major update. Then the novelty got new bumpers, optics and received a modernized interior. For 22 years, Nexia has been presented in two generations and enjoyed great popularity in the markets of the CIS countries, although it lost to foreign competitors in terms of comfort. Gradually, the sedan was forced out of the assembly line by the newer and more budgetary Ravon Nexia.
At the beginning of the release, Nexia worked on a one and a half liter engine with a power of 75 hp. on mechanics. Acceleration to 100 km / h was carried out in 12.5 seconds with a gasoline consumption of 8.5 liters per 100 km (information on oil consumption, its types and quantity for the bay - later in the article). In this configuration, the car became one of the first foreign cars on domestic roads. In 2002, it was restyled - the sedan appeared before the public in a modified body and with a new 16-valve engine with 85 hp. while maintaining a volume of 1.5 liters. On the new engine, Nexia accelerates to the first hundred in 11 seconds, while consuming 7.7 liters per 100 km. And 6 years later, during the second restyling, the engine compartment of the sedan (now known as the Nexia II) was occupied by 83- and 109-horsepower units from Chevrolet Lanos and Lacetti. The last engine was the most popular, as it offered pretty good traction: acceleration to the limit of 185 km / h, the first hundred in 11 seconds and a combined gas mileage per 100 km - 8.9 liters.
Daewoo Nexia initially had a low price, which attracted the attention of Russian motorists. It was ideal for buying your first foreign car. Even today, when the model is considered obsolete, the secondary market is replete with offers of these used cars in excellent condition.

One of the most important procedural elements in the maintenance of Daewoo Nexia is the replacement of engine oil. Machines of this brand successfully combine the availability and quality, unpretentiousness of operation and low cost of maintenance. The frequency of changing the oil in the engine maintains the technical condition of the Daewoo Nexia at the appropriate level.
Features of replacing motor lubricant
Replacing motor lubricant in a Daewoo Nexia engine raises 3 main questions for motorists:
- How often to carry out the procedure?
- What substance to pour?
- How much should it be?
The answers to these questions have some important nuances and require detailed coverage.
How often is it replaced
Replacing the motor lubricant of a Daewoo Nexia car is carried out at strict intervals. The manufacturer establishes the recommended regulations for two indicators - the service life and mileage. Therefore, intervals are determined at which replacement is carried out every six months or 10 thousand km.
However, cars are operated in various conditions that affect each specific engine in different ways. 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 halve the recommended intervals. In other words, the difficult operating conditions of the car require the replacement of engine lubricant after 3 months (1 time per quarter) or 5000 km.
The choice of motor lubricant
The car manual contains specific recommendations on which lubricant is optimal for the motor. Factory requirements are not always met. You have to choose from the available options. It is important to take into account a number of conditions.
Special restrictions on the use of a particular motor lubricant have not been established. You can use domestic 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 markings).
Substances with the indicated indicators belong to the category of multigrade oils. Such a lubricant can successfully withstand various loads all year round.
Required volume
The volume of motor fluid to be filled in is not determined by how many valves the power unit has, what are its power and design features. To replace, it is enough to purchase a 4-liter canister of motor lubricant. Usually it takes 3.75 liters to fill. A small reserve can be used as topping up during further operation of the car.
How to make an independent replacement of motor lubricant
You can change 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 accurate attitude. Therefore, before the lubricant is changed, it is advisable to find and watch a visual video. Then it will be easier to navigate the sequence of actions and their purpose.
Necessary tools
To change the motor lubricant in Daewoo Nexia, you need to prepare in advance:
Step by step order
- It is necessary to install the machine so that the position of the drain hole is at the lowest point of the crankcase. This will ensure that no old oil remains in the crankcase.
- The hood cover is opened and the cork is removed from the neck of the cover in the engine.
- A container is installed under the drain plug.
- The plug is unscrewed, the used engine oil is drained.
- Removing the old filter. Its replacement can be carried out in several ways. The part is unscrewed with a special puller, after removing the protection from below. If you do not want to bother with removing the protection, you can unscrew the filter from above. The element is wrapped in a coarse-grained skin to prevent slippage, and then, as much as there is strength, it is unscrewed with one hand.
- All nodes are wiped with a rag, especially the filter seat.
- The same oil that is planned to be filled in lubricates the sealing ring of the new filter.
- A new filter is installed: you need to twist it with your hands, as much as you have enough strength. The key is not recommended.
- The sealing washer of the drain plug is changed, which is screwed into the drain hole.
- Fresh engine oil must be poured through the neck. It is poured as much as was drained. Then topped up to the required mark.
- All parts that were dismantled are returned to their places.
- The motor starts. After starting it, you need to monitor the oil pressure light in the engine. If after 2-10 seconds it goes out, then the replacement was successful. If the light continues to burn, you need to turn off the Daewoo Nexia engine and determine the causes of possible malfunctions.
- Some time after stopping the engine, check the lubrication level on the dipstick. Do this on a cold engine. Top up as needed up to the MAX mark.
- Inspect the car and the place under it for smudges. If everything is clean and dry, you can continue to operate the car.
It is necessary to analyze the drained lubricating fluid. It should have a uniform color. Serious reasons for concern are sand, chips, or circles left by the coolant found in the lubricant. These indicators are often the first symptoms of serious engine problems.
Changing the oil in the engine is a mandatory procedure on which the performance of the car depends. It is required to fill in a new motor lubricant in a Daewoo Nexia car every 10 thousand kilometers. However, this procedure has its own specifics and features.
How to determine the amount of oil in the engine on a Daewoo Nexia
Before changing the oil, it is imperative to determine the level of lubrication in the engine. This procedure is carried out not only during maintenance, but also during the operation of the car. When driving on poor quality roads, engine oil consumption increases, so it may be necessary to change it before the mileage provided for by the manufacturer's regulations.
Checking the level of motor fluid is carried out using a special probe that is included in the engine. It is carefully removed and wiped off the grease, after which it slowly sinks into the motor and gets it again. There are two marks on the dipstick indicating the maximum and minimum allowable oil in the engine: min and max. If the lubricant level does not go beyond their limits, it is normal.
How much oil is poured into the Daewoo Nexia engine
There are two types of Daewoo Nexia engines: 8 and 16 valves. Their volume depends on the release version:
- 1995-2008 - 3.8 liters;
- 2002-2008 - 3.8 liters;
- since 2008 - 4 liters.
In the process of changing the oil, part of the liquid splashes out, so the use of a canister with a minimum volume of 4 liters is required. It is allowed to purchase containers with a large supply of motor fluid. The advantage of this method is that if you have oil of the same brand during the operation of the car, you can top up without any risks to the engine. Due to this, the period of using the car without a full replacement of the lubricant in the engine is significantly increased.
Instruction
The oil change in the Daewoo Nexia engine is carried out according to the following scheme:
- the car is placed on a lift or overpass;
- the crater protection is dismantled and the oil filter is unscrewed;
- the drain plug is removed, and the remains of the old oil are removed into a special container;
- the design is wiped from dirt;
- changing the disposable sealing copper washer;
- a new oil filter is installed;
- the purchased oil is poured into the engine and compliance with the normal level is checked;
- the engine is warmed up by idling and checked for oil leaks.
During the procedure, make sure that your hands do not come into contact with the screen of the exhaust manifold. If there are leaks, check the oil level and tighten the drain box and filter.
