Details of the oil filter of the VR6 engine: 1 — bolts, 25 N · m; 2 — the filter basis; 3 — the sensor of temperature of oil; 4 — the switch of pressure of oil; 5 — laying, always on replacement; 6 — an O-shaped sealing ring; 7 — a filtering element; 8 — the filter case; 9 — a sealing ring; 10 — a bolt, 15 N · m

- substitute under the car, namely under the oil filter, capacity, unscrew a bolt 10 (fig. 173) in the bottom surface of the filter and remove a sealing ring 9 which is always replaced on new at assembly. Let's to oil flow out;

If from the engine the basis 10 (see fig. 166 ) the filter acts in film, at assembly it is necessary to establish a new sealing ring and to tighten a nut of the 9th basis of the filter the moment of 25 N · m. Do not put on a sealing ring some any greasing. The type of the basis of the filter is from the inside presented on fig. 175 .
