After removing the cover, you will have access to the plug through which we can remove the old oil. The plug must be located at the bottom of the rear of the engine or gearbox. Before unscrewing the cap to extract the oil, we should place right under the plug, drum or container for the oil to go down on him and then store it in another container and taken to a recycling center.

  • Once we located the container box to remove the air filter is inside. To do this remove the cap almost always secured by hooks or clips to be removed manually, in a few cases the cover is fastened with screws, in which case need a screwdriver to remove them. Already cover removed, we observed that the filter is located and extract it.
  • The air filter is made ​​up of a paper with many folds. To control the filter cleaning must review the paper for dust, dirt, insects, etc..
  • If dirt stains covers much of the paper preventing the entry of clean air to the engine's time to change the air filter by an identical, calls for the make and model of the car. If the filter is still able to use it, is convenient to clean injecting pressurized air from a distance that does not damage the paper in the opposite direction in the air through the paper to enter the engine.

  3. Zoom the vehicle about 6 feet from the wall in a straight line and turn the lights down low again. The point of greatest illumination is expected to fall by 10% and be in the same line with the earlier mark.
  4. If one does not meet the above condition we proceed to align the car headlight . To do each headlight has two adjustment screws, one moves from top to bottom and the other from right to left. Proceed to move these screws until this point more light straight 5 cm below the first mark.
  5. Now turn on the high road or lights and checked to be between 4 and 5 cm below the high light marks made at the beginning.
  6. If the high and low beam lights are independent, proceed to align the beam with the adjustment screws each to the desired result. 

leading cars in the low and high beam in the same headlight if necessary adjust slightly with the same adjustment screws and repeat the previous point to find a point of compromise setting. (The setting of low light or crossing should have higher priority).

If it fails to align any of the headlights, we must review the lamps or bulbs are correct and well located within the receptacle.
