2009 Suzuki SX4: DIY Oil Change How-To Video
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 янв 2010
- It was time for our 2009 Suzuki SX4 to get its oil changed. The SX4 and its 2.0-liter engine was the same from 2007 to 2009, so this should apply to any of those years. The 2010-2013 2.0-liter engine engine was different, so this may not apply exactly for them. Check your manual regarding oil capacity and consult an auto parts store when buying a filter. For 2007-2009 the owner's manual says an oil and filter change requires 4.7 quarts, so I bought five quarts of the recommended 5w30. I added four initially, ran the motor to circulate the new oil, then checked the dipstick. I needed to add just over a half-quart to bring the level up to the full mark. The oil filter sits very close to the catalytic converter on this car, so you can't do this with the exhaust system even remotely hot. I would have had an easier time of it if I had an oil filter wrench that grabbed the end of the filter instead of the band type I had in my toolbox. There simply isn't much space to work in there. That said, it's all very doable.

Nice to finally see a DIY video done right. Straight and to the point. No BS or stupid commentary. Very awesome
what he said. very good.
Thank you from Russia. SX4 is my first car. I will change oil and filter tomorow.
Nice man! I'm still giving it 5/5 because of the straight forward, no b.s. tutorial.
Some things I was a bit leery on, oil filter gasket down on concrete grabbing particles, old oil as oil filter gasket lube, any new oil inside the oil filter? No gloves but hey. Everything else was spot on and well done. Props!!
Thank you for this. I quickly looked up your video so I can see step by step what the mechanic was doing so I knew he didn't mess with my car.
Thanks for positing this. I'm sure the info provided will come in handy should I ever have to do my friends car.
though I Know how- this is a nice, clear visualization for those that need to see it done as well as read how. Nice job
Thanks great video, will try it myself.
Loving this! Gave me the info I needed, didn't beg me to like/subscribe like all the others did.. And I didn't have to go through 15 minutes of mindless rhetoric to get what I needed.. top marks!
Thank you Dan for this video. Very informative. Can you do one for A/C vent cleaning if possible please ?
Nice Video. I am changing the oil on my dad's Suzuki too. Easy.
awesome vid, amazing editing!!
and camera positioning
This is the first service video that I've seen that explains an example of how to dispose of used oil. You don't know how many times people have told me they put it in an old container and throw it in the bin. :( Wish I had the option of taking it back to the parts store. I pay 50c per litre to dispose of it.
Thanks man very helpful !
Very good video. Congrats A+.
best tutorial ever
Have you tried even "finding" the oil filter in the K4M engine of the Renault Clio? That's one bloody channel.
Thanks for the video and congrats! Now I know how to change the oil of my SX4 myself.
That was such a joy when it is wedged between the engine and the "firewall"
Also very stupid position so at least the oik can go everywhere when you remove it
Perfect video. But it makes me frustrated how they hid the filter so high up. Which is what brought me to this video in the first place.
great video!!!
Well done! Hope you will throw in changing the spark plugs and a brake job. I've got 45,000 on mine and those jobs are coming up, although it looks like those jobs are going to be pretty common. (I hope)
the bar that he is using to jack the car up isnt designed for that its simply a sway bar and eventually thats going to break up against the transfer case causing it to break which is very costly to replace. i worked on these cars and i couldnt tell you how many people made this mistake. jack it up side by side. the main frame is behind the front wheels youll see a little bump where you jack the car up.
Yes wondered what he was doing, 1st thought it was the sump.
The maintenance manual actually lists where he uses as the front jacking point. With pictures.
Hi ... wow this video its very useful ... it's very hard ? It my first time ...
Thanks for posting. Just changed the oil and filter on a 2010 Alto SX3. A couple of tips on this variant;-
1. The filter is lower but still needed the Tool to slacken, since the filter is recessed in the curve of the sump, so you cannot easily get a hand around it.
2. The filter is lower. so you may not have to raise the car as high !
Спасибо! Очень познавательно
Nice video. Terrible location for an oil filter, Suzuki.
can you please show me how to change spark pluge on a suzuki sx4 or how to take out the engine cover thank you very much.
Do you need to reset/inpun via obd? Is that something they do in service only (as they have the gadgets) to prevent dpf frequent clean ups...?
Cool. Thanks.
Is the sump plug magnetised? UK models specify 3.9l of 0 20 engine oil including filter at 15000 km.
¡¡¡Gracias por compartir¡¡¡.
Great video! Very informative. It might be an idea to wear nitrile gloves to protect the skin from used motor oil, which can cause cancer.
Leonard Yeo we would need opera style gloves, past the elbow, as noted with the oil running up/down his arm! ;-)
@@svenjohnson2389 not if you put a plastic bag over the oil filter when removing it.
J A excellent idea, I have two vehicles to do this week so I will give it a try!
I have a question. To loosen filter do you turn counter clockwise or clockwise? Some foreign cars are backwards. Thanks!
Can someone tell me how many liters of oil is to be refilled in a 1.3 engine car.
Is there a black plastic flap that covers this area usually? I have a Suzuki Grand Vitara and just noticed that a flap under the car has become undone and half hanging off the car..... Taking it into the shop Monday, but curious what it is.
why do you use old motor oil on ur gasket seal?
Which way is the drain plug to loosen up
@STFpolice1 so the filter comes off easy on the next oil change
Finally, no gloves; a real man!!!
You put the new filter seal side down on concrete, and you use the old oil for the new filter seal?
Is it the same for 2006 4WD?
Y hacer el reseteo una vez hecho el cambio de aceite se lo ase o no
Good day can you tell me what is the puraloator filter number thank you
Hello, how are you ! Could you help with a question?
I have a 2013 model and would like to know if this car has a gasoline filter?
Yes there is a fuel filter, it is built in to the fuel tank like most new cars. If you desire you can also install a separate fuel filter in the fuel line so that it is easier for you to change.
Just spent nearly two hours trying to undo drain plug on Suzuki Swift 2010 reg. Never had this problem with any other car. I used spinners, sockets even an extended bar but it will not turn. Used penetrating spray. Any ideas ?
Given up for now.

Are you turning it the right way?
I have same car ， trying to do it myself。 first time in my life 。
What size wrench?
Good video, but use fresh oil to put on the new oil filter seal not old.
@MREURONCAP 2.0L
The location of the filter on this also annoyed me. I only had a webbing strap wrench, the type with the square bar attached and ended up removing the splash guard for extra room. Snugged it as best as possible and used the hole in the bottom of the bar to run a screwdriver through and crank it so it didn't just slip. Hand-tightened the new one because I have small enough hands and the paint-textured Fram filter felt less like a gimmick on this one.
Both swapping the alternator and doing a simple oil change have been a pain in the ass so I'm about done with this car.
Which grade engine oil using in diesel engine and gear box do you know. Please answer. I bought a 2011 diesel sx4. And want to service it.
Not a diesel here in the USA. So I do not know the answer.
@@DanEdmunds ok
also if you prime the filter you for the most part wont to have to add oil to it
I assume a 2008 SX4 is very similar to this?
Yes the 2007 through 2009 SX4 is the same process and location. 2010 through 2013 is different.
You are never suppose to use tool to tighten the filter only your hands you do not want to crush new filter
Yes. Usually hand tighten about 3 quarter of a turn after the filter gasket makes contact.
my 2012 is way harder to get to the filter. there is an AC line right in the way.
There are some good tips at the ClubSX4 forum on changing the 2010 through 2013 oil filter.
maybe you could unscrew and screw oil filter just with hand.
Yes it should only be installed by hand to prevent damaging the canister. It doesn't need to be any tighter than you can tighten by hand.
No jacking points? :(
+Geheimegast Landelijk lol, but it'd be nice in the vid
74 % oil life remaining xrk me sale esto en el tablero de mi camioneta
Wszystko dobrze wykonane,ale dwa błędy,moim zdaniem jestem mechanikiem z zawodu,korek do spuszczania oleju dokrecamy odpowiednim momentem(najlepiej z nową uszczelka),oraz uszczelkę nowego filtra oleju smarujemy świeżym olejem,nie tym starym,pozdrawiam:)
luv u
No wonder I could find it stuck Away lol.
Tausend dank für die Videoanleitung. Hej hej aus dänemark. Tusind tak for den video tutorial. Hej hej fra Danmark. A thousand thanks for the video tutorial. Hej Hej from Denmark
sx4 1.5 moci a best hibátlan.
common sense is get ramps no need to jack up the vehicle or use a water bottle for a funnel if so use an old oil quart bottle or just get a simple funnel it's not as difficult as people think same thing as a dodge ford i have a suzuki sx4
Hand tighten filters, never use a wrench. 😮
damn your engine sounds like that too?! ok im good then 😂
gloves dude
I'm 10 seconds in..and it already looks like a pain in the ass to do. i'll just pay them to do it.
lol so hard
69th comment!
That oil was very dirty, way past change time.
Хоть бы что сказал,глухонемой наверно.
