The 1.5 TD engine (JLE-3G15TD) requires 0W-20 viscosity oil and an oil change every 7,000-8,500 km depending on the season. The filter is a cartridge type installed from underneath. The refill capacity is about 6 L (6.3 qt), up to the MAX mark on the dipstick.

Difficulty: Easy Time: 30-40 minutes Steps: 13 Tools: 17 mm box-end wrench, cartridge-type oil filter housing wrench, funnel, drain pan (7-8 L / 7.4-8.5 qt), shop rags

Part

  • 🔩 Geely oil filter 1016056847 (equivalents: Hengst H98W, Mahle OC614, Filtron OP 644/2, Mann W7030). 0W-20 oil, API SP or higher, 6 L (6.3 qt). Drain plug gasket

Step by step

13 steps
  1. Warm the engine up to operating temperature, shut it off, and raise the car on a lift or ramps, or position it over a pit.
  2. Open the oil filler cap to equalize the pressure.
  3. Remove the engine undercover (if installed) and place the drain pan under the drain plug.
  4. Use a 17 mm wrench to remove the drain plug and let the oil drain completely (10-15 minutes).
  5. Replace the drain plug gasket, thread the plug in by hand until it stops, then tighten it with the wrench another quarter turn (tightening torque 25-35 N·m (18-26 lb-ft)).
  6. Use the filter wrench to unscrew the oil filter housing from the bottom of the engine and remove the old cartridge.
  7. Install the new filter element into the housing and replace the rubber O-ring.
  8. Lubricate the O-ring with clean oil, thread the filter housing on by hand until it makes contact, then tighten it another three-quarters of a turn.
  9. Pour 5.5 L (5.8 qt) of oil through the filler neck, wait 2-3 minutes, and check the level with the dipstick.
  10. Top up the oil to a level between the MIN and MAX marks, then close the filler cap.
  11. Start the engine, let it idle for 1-2 minutes, shut it off, and wait 5 minutes.
  12. Check the level with the dipstick. It should be between MIN and MAX. Add 100-200 mL (3.4-6.8 fl oz) if necessary.
  13. Inspect the drain plug and filter for leaks, then reinstall the engine undercover.

Common mistakes and warnings

  • Do not use oil with a viscosity higher than 0W-20. The engine is designed for low-viscosity oils, and deviating from the specification leads to increased wear and higher fuel consumption. Dispose of used oil at a designated collection facility.
