What kind of oil is better to fill in the gearbox of the vaz. Which gear oil is best? Looking for the ideal for mechanics

Lada Granta is the cheapest car of the AvtoVAZ company, and at the same time the most affordable to service. As is the case with more expensive cars, Granta requires timely maintenance, including replacement of original components in accordance with the regulations. If all the recommendations are followed, the car will last as long as possible for a car of this class. In this article, we will consider what kind of oil to fill in the Lada Granta gearbox. Rational choice of a suitable oil, approved by the factory, is the key to reliable operation of the gearbox and all transmission units.

Factory oil

According to official data, Lada Granta leaves the assembly line with oil. Often this is a Russian product Lukoil TM 4 with a certain viscosity class, which depends on the Russian region with a particular climate. There are such viscosity grades - 75W-80, 80W-90, as well as 75W-85, 75W-90 and 80W-85.

List of transmission oils and parameters to them, approved by the factory for Lada Granta:

• Lukoil TM 4. Viscosity grade - 75W-80, 75W-85, 75W-90, 80W-85, 80W-90; API Group - GL-4
• Novoil Trans KP. SAE viscosity grade - 80W-85; API Group - GL4
• Rosneft Kinetic. SAE - 80W-85; API - GL4
• Tatneft Translux TM14-12. SAE - 75W-85; API - GL4
• THK Trans KP. SAE 75W-90; API-GL4
• Shell SPIRAX S5 ATE. SAE 75W-90; GL-4/5

Viscosity grades and temperature ranges to them:

1. 75W-80 (From - (minus) 40 to +35 degrees)
2. 75W-85 (-40 +35 degrees)
3. 75W-90 (-40 +45 degrees)
4. 80W-85 (-26 +35 degrees)

AvtoVAZ recommends using pure original oil, without any oil additives. Modern highly efficient transmission oil- that's what is needed for the reliable and efficient operation of the Lada Granta gearbox.

How much oil to fill in Lada Granta

According to generally accepted rules, it is necessary to fill in the Lada Granta gearbox from 3 to 3.5 liters of oil. It is necessary to fill in gradually, periodically checking the level with a dipstick.

Replacement period

It is noteworthy that the oil in the Lada Granta gearbox is designed for almost the entire service life of the car. At least, it must be changed every 75 thousand kilometers, or after five years of operation. Cases of unexpected replacement are not uncommon - for example, when urgent repair of manual transmission or automatic transmission is required, including replacement of oil seals and gaskets.

How not to run into counterfeit

There are many fake oils on the market. The competition is fierce, and every manufacturer uses marketing gimmicks to get what they want. Therefore, beginners and experienced owners should contact only proven and branded stores, and choose oil only from well-known brands - for example, Lukoil or Mobil 1.

Video

The Lada Granta car is available in several trim levels. For example, you can choose a more suitable gear change option: automatic or mechanical box gear. If you are used to driving a car with a mechanic, then be prepared for the need to change the oil in the box every 60 thousand kilometers. Let's consider in more detail this procedure and the features of the Lada Grant box.

Features of the gearbox device

So, if you do not want to engage in the planned replacement of transmission oil, then you should purchase a complete set of Grants "Lux" and get a Jatco automatic transmission made in Japan. It has its own resource - only 5 years, but for this period the manufacturer guarantees that it will be necessary to work with the box only in the event of a breakdown. The automatic transmission is already filled with a special fluid, and it will not need to be replaced during the entire period of use. There is no need to add oil either.

The cable manual transmission needs more attention in terms of maintenance, but it can last much longer. As such, it does not have a service life - you can update its parts and change the lubricant as needed, thereby increasing the duration of its uninterrupted operation.

This transmission is based on the model first installed on the VAZ-2108. It was slightly changed and modernized. Weak spots in the previous version:

• large lever travel;
• fuzzy switching scheme;
• high vibration;
• difficult gear shifting.

The manufacturer has tried to remedy this situation. And on the Lada Granta car, the cable drive made it possible to make the gear shifting clearer. In addition, the shift mechanism has changed in the new gearbox, which is now not bathed in transmission oil, but is installed last as a separate module. It is easier to repair and assemble during production. It also embodies German technology, and a three-dimensional plate appeared in the gearbox, which sets the forces when changing gears.

The cable drive replaced the old rods, which are no longer used by any manufacturer when assembling boxes. The rationality of its use, like all innovations, was calculated using a computer program.

Changing transmission oil

If you do not use the services of car mechanics, but prefer to fill in new oil yourself, then this should be done only in the warm season. According to the documents, it is necessary to update the transmission fluid every 60 thousand kilometers, but you can do it a little more often. If you want to withstand the period and time for updating the transmission fluid on the manual transmission of Lada Granta falls on the winter, then choose a warmer day, and drive about 5 kilometers before installing the car in the pit. This is necessary to dilute the oil and raise the temperature in the box. Remember that the oil heats up during operation, so let the machine cool down a little before repairing it.

Replacement is carried out according to the following instructions:

1. Place your Lada Granta on a flyover or over a viewing pit. This will provide easier access to the transmission. Prepare a used oil canister, new transmission fluid and tool kit.
2. Changing the fluid in the manual transmission begins with removing the old grease. To do this, start unscrewing the plugs located at the bottom of the box. Do not turn them out right away, since in this case the liquid will not pour into the prepared canister, but into the pit. Use a wrench half-turn to remove the bolts by hand.
3. Substitute the canister and manually remove the bottom plug first and then the top one. Due to this, air will circulate inside the mechanism, and the oil will drain faster.
4. The liquid will drain completely only after an hour. Take your time to get the job done better.
5. Screw on the bottom plug. Replacement does not require flushing, so we will omit this item.
6. Using a special syringe (sold in all car dealerships and costs about 100 rubles), fill the box with oil through the top plug. You can do this with an ordinary syringe.
7. The box, according to the documentation, contains about 2.2 liters of oil. Observe the condition that its level should reach the edge of the thread of the upper plug.
8. Remove drips from the manual transmission with a piece of rag. Screw on the top plug.

Replacing the manual transmission lubricant on the Lada Granta is not a difficult procedure. Even a beginner can make it with his own hands. You will have to spend only on new oil and a special syringe (it is more convenient for them to work).

What kind of transmission fluid to buy

In stores, you can be offered different options for transmission fluid, but not every one is suitable for the updated manual transmission Lada Granta. At the plant, TatneftTranslux with a viscosity of 75-85 is poured into it. We recommend that you choose oils with a viscosity of 75 to 90, as this is the best option for our climate.

It is important for you to find an original oil of one of the brands in the store:

• Trans KP from TNK (you can buy a similar one, but marked Super);
• Konenic;
• Shell Transaxle Oil;
• Rosneft;
• Lukoil TN4;
• Novoil Trans KP;
• Trans KP2 from TNK.

Experts recommend, first of all, to pay attention to transmission fluids from TNK, for example, Trans KP Super is ideally suited for those recommended for our area. It has already passed the test by many motorists and is marked as one of the best for the cable box.

Since 2013, almost all front-wheel drive VAZ vehicles have been equipped with a cable box. In Grant sedans, it replaced the less reliable unit, designated as "2190". In addition to the fact that the drive has become a cable, there were other changes. The new box is called "VAZ-2181", and its crankcase volume has been reduced from 3.3 to 2.3 liters. Here it is considered how to change the oil in the Lada Granta gearbox with a cable drive.

A rare case: the box "2181" began to howl at a run of 800 km. The confirmation is on the video, and the problem was solved by changing the oil.

Regulations for changing the oil in the gearbox from AvtoVAZ

It is necessary to change the oil in the checkpoint-2181 in one case - if the mileage has exceeded 200,000 km. In theory, the entire service life of the car is indicated here, and the numbers are taken from the regulations.

It seems that everything is there for filling oil

The regulations also do not say how often to check the oil level. Such checks are unnecessary and therefore there is no diagnostic dipstick in the crankcase design. Three details will be important to us:

1. Drain plug (key "17");
2. Filling plug and hole for level control;
3. Switch reverse.

Be aware that the "Standard" configuration always includes the "2190" box. The rule is fulfilled for new cars produced after 2013.

What kind of oil is filled in the checkpoint from the factory?

From the factory, the oil in the Lada Granta checkpoint can be as follows:

• TATNEFT TRANSLUX 75W85;
• ROSNEFT KINETIC SERVICE 75W85.

Each of the materials is classified as GL-4. Recall that we were talking about a box "2181", the crankcase volume of which is 2.3 liters.

The filling volume can be 2.1 or 2.2 liters.

Preparing for replacement

First, the box needs to be warmed up. Then the car is placed on the pit, they stop it and try to unscrew one plug. We are talking about a control plug (key "17").

View from under the crankcase protection

If nothing works out with the plug, you will have to change the oil without control. This is no longer good. Try unscrewing the switch located on the top of the crankcase.

The volume of oil in the Lada Granta gearbox is known to everyone - it is 2.3 liters. But the replacement is still better done with control. Filling is carried out either through the control hole or through the hole of the switch. Access to the latter closes the filter.

Filter housing operation

First, disconnect the "minus" terminal (key "10"). Then you can unscrew the fastening screws with a regular Phillips screwdriver.

The first two steps for dismantling

The thin clamp that secures the expansion tank hose is also removed (see photo).

Disconnect a couple of connectors: mass air flow sensor and adsorber valve connector. The first one is oval (photo below). And the second is turned off like this: they tighten the tongue, remove the terminal block.

Down with all terminal blocks!

The filter housing can be tilted to the side for the final step. It is not necessary to disconnect it from the corrugation.

The rubber mounts can be defeated like this: the gum is held with pliers, and the body is pulled back (left, forward). Start at the right front foot.

Reconnaissance in force

We're trying to remove the reverse switch. We are looking for a plastic connector on the crankcase (see photo) and immediately turn it off.

View of the gearbox housing from under the hood

With a round key "22" try to unscrew the switch body. Cancel the replacement if nothing can be done - neither unscrew the "top" plug, nor remove the switch.

When the switch is replaced, the threads are sealed with a sealant. The tightening torque should be 28-45 N * m.

Detailed algorithm for changing the oil in the CABLE gearbox

The oil from the Lada Grant gearbox is drained through the "lower" plug. It is unscrewed with the "17" key.

The simplest thing is to drain the oil.

You need to unscrew the cork like this: make 1-2 turns with the key, then substitute the container. And then we unscrew the cork by hand.

When the liquid flows out, we wipe the surface of the crankcase. We twist the plug back (moment of force - 29-46 N * m). Getting ready to refuel.

Hose and funnel ready to go

Let's say the refueling goes through the opening of the switch. We put a hose in the hole, install a funnel. And we begin to fill in new oil.

The volume of oil in the Lada Granta gearbox is 2.2 liters (maximum). So say those who unscrewed the control plug.

Access to the inspection plug is closed by the crankcase guard. If the plug was not removed during preparation, measure exactly 2.2 liters. And if the control is "according to the regulations", let the body be tilted to the right: put a suitable load in the cabin or trunk. Tilt angle - 2-3 degrees (no longer needed).

In the final step, the crankcase is cleaned of oil residues. All threaded elements are tightened with the recommended torques: plug - 29-46 N * m, switch - 28-45 N * m.

Fill in oil through the control hole

The photo shows how everything looks if you follow the rules. The lower plug is twisted, the upper one is vice versa. And refueling is carried out with a syringe.

The oil in the Lada Granta gearbox is supplied through the hole in the "upper" plug.

Instead of a syringe, you can also use a hose with a funnel.

There is no crankcase protection in the photo. She had to be removed.

Which oil is better to fill in according to the regulations?

In the regular manual, they do not write what kind of oil to fill in the Grants box with a cable drive. The answer is in the instructions attached to other cars, also supplied with a box "2181". Here is a list:

• G-BOX EXPERT - 80W85, 75W90
• Gazpromneft - 80W90, 80W85
• TNK TRANS KP - 80W85
• TNK TRANS KP SUPER - 75W90
• LUKOIL TM-4 - 75W85, 75W80, 80W85, 75W90, 80W90
• ROSNEFT KINETIC (Angarsk) - 80W85
• ROSNEFT KINETIC (Novokuibyshevsk) - 80W85 (GL-4), 75W90 (GL-4 / GL-5)
• TATNEFT TRANSLUX TM-4-12 - 75W85
• SHELL: SPIRAX S5 ATE or TRANSAXLE OIL - 75W90 (GL-4 / GL-5)

If no quality class is specified, the material complies with GL-4 standards.

Quality class "GL-5" has its own characteristics. Gears are better retained with material in this class than synchronizers.

We focus on temperature

When choosing oil for the box, use the table:

• Range "-12 - +50 Gr. Ts "- 85W90
• "-26 - +45"- 80W90
• "-26 - +35"- 80W85
• "-40 - +35"- 75W80 or 75W85
• "-40 - +45"- 75W90

The viscosity grade is indicated on the right.

Articles

Below are the designations used by AvtoVAZ:

• 21230-1701326-00 - turnkey plug "17"
• 21900-3710410-00 - reverse switch
• 21080-3512115-00 - washer under the switch

By the way, the shops define the washer as the gasket for the pressure regulator plug. It will not be possible to find imported analogs.

List of common mistakes

• They warm the box by pushing gas to the floor and standing in neutral. The result is that the engine deteriorates.
• The oil is drained and then it is determined that the filler hole cannot be opened.
• The washer is made of copper. Try not to lose it.

The procedure for changing the oil in the VAZ 2110 gearbox does not last very long. It can be successfully carried out without professional skills. But not everyone can answer the questions of what substance to pour into the box and how much of it is needed. Effective replacement of transmission material is directly related to the correct answers to the questions posed.

What is the function of transmission oils in a gearbox

The box of a VAZ 2110 car is formed by a system set of parts and individual mechanisms that experience constant friction.

To reduce wear of parts, extend their performance, and is used by transmission oil. In addition, the lubricant:

• maintains the optimum temperature during the gearbox operation;
• prevents the formation of corrosion or rust;
• protects against shock loads, excessive vibration, the formation of various noises;
• washes working mechanical areas, removing small particles from working areas.

The transmission substance of the VAZ 2110 gearbox must maintain a given degree of viscosity. Its high level should be maintained at operating temperatures of 80–120 °. In individual nodes for the interaction of gear drives, the temperature rises to 200 °. But on the other hand, when the VAZ 2110 is operated in subzero temperatures, the excessive viscosity of the transmission fluid can create difficulties for the normal functioning of the box.

Failures in the operation of the checkpoint or the loss of full functionality by it occurs as a result of the fact that:

To prevent the first two cases, it is enough to regularly monitor the oil level in the box. But to reduce the risk of eating low-quality lubricant it is necessary to figure out which substance is better to fill in the VAZ 2110 gearbox.

Types of transmission fluids

Various types of lubricants are suitable for the VAZ 2110 gearbox:

• synthetic;
• semi-synthetic;
• mineral.

Synthetic oils are characterized by greater inertia. They do not chemically react with metal surfaces. Synthetics have good knitting stability at various temperature conditions.

The technology for the production of semi-synthetic oil provides for the presence of mineral oil in its base. However, the improvement performance characteristics and physical indicators is due to the addition of innovative additives. A variety of chemical additives help to smooth out some of the deficiencies in the mineral base.

Mineralka attracts motorists with a low price threshold. But such oil does not tolerate strong and prolonged loads.

The most common replacement is a semi-synthetic transmission substance. Many owners consider this option to be a perfectly acceptable "golden mean" in terms of cost-benefit ratio.

Each type of lubricant has its own advantages and disadvantages. It is important to remember that no matter what substance is poured in, you should not mix synthetics with mineral water. In such a handicraft way, it will not be possible to obtain semisynthetics. Although such recommendations often appear from practicing drivers.

How to choose the best option for gearbox lubrication

For gearboxes of all VAZ 2110 modifications, the manufacturer recommends oils of 2 groups:

The GL-4 index indicates that the oil is suitable for domestic cars front-wheel drive. The GL-4/5 index corresponds to a universal substance. Such a liquid is better suited for operating conditions with intense and heavy loads. It is these 2 options (GL-4 and GL-4/5) that are optimal for the checkpoint "tens".

The SAE classification takes into account the main quality of the fluid - viscosity. Digital indicators determine the parameters of maintaining the internal friction of a substance, depending on the atmospheric conditions of using the car. It is worth paying attention to these indicators when the replacement of the transmission substance is approaching. In order not to have to wait for a long time in severe frosts with a recessed clutch pedal and a running engine, it is recommended to use SAE75W-90 fluid all year round. It remains only to make sure that the products are necessarily certified. This will guarantee the use of a high quality product.

Replacing transmission material

With continuous operation of the vehicle, the level of the transmission substance must be checked every 10,000 km.

According to technical regulations, the replacement of spent matter at the checkpoint "dozens" should be carried out every 75,000 km. But most car enthusiasts believe that taking into account the unfavorable realities, the transmission will need to be replaced every 55,000 - 65,000 km.

You can change the liquid yourself. In order for the oil change to be successful, you need to prepare:

The replacement takes place in this order:

The presence of certain skills and abilities will ensure the passage of the procedure for replacing the transmission in 40-60 minutes. The money saved on service can be spent on higher quality and more expensive gear oil. The owner of the "ten" will be sure that he got into the box.

It is no secret that VAZ 2110 and VAZ 2114 are considered cars that are unpretentious, reliable and inexpensive. In order to operate these cars smoothly, they need to be serviced correctly and regularly. It is necessary to correctly select the transmission oil and replace it in a timely manner.

The mistake of many drivers is such that they usually think only about engine oil, but forget about transmission lubrication, remember about it only when they hear extraneous noises when switching modes. This approach is fraught with significant problems in the box.

Types of lubricants, their characteristics

Gear oils are classified into 3 groups:

1. Mineral water. Produced from refined oil. Viscous, poured into worn-out boxes.
2. Synthetics. Synthesized in laboratory conditions. It is fluid, insensitive to high and low temperature effects.
3. Semi-synthetics. Combination of mineral and synthetic oil. It is an intermediate option.

The viscosity index is considered a key indicator of transmission oil. It determines how fluid the lubricant poured into the transmission will be under various temperature conditions. Any transmission motor oils contain additives that improve their characteristics and increase the operating period. Additives, consisting of various chemical elements, prevent the lubricant in the box from foaming, prevent the appearance of scoring on spare parts. Information about the properties and composition of the motor oil is written on the canister.

When choosing oil for a VAZ gearbox, you need to take into account the design features of the unit. In addition, it is worth considering:

• operating conditions (season, temperature level, weather);
• the degree and duration of the load that the box carries in different modes of operation;
• the effect of filler elements on different parts of the transmission.

Choosing a car oil for VAZ 2110/2114

It is well known that these cars are front-wheel drive. This design makes it possible to reduce the load on transmission parts and reduce overheating. What kind of oil to pour into the box for the VAZ 2114/2110? Fill in API GL-4.

• synthetics 75w Has good lubricating properties, allows the gearbox to function smoothly in low-temperature conditions;
• semi-synthetics 85w It is used for filling in cars with considerable mileage. Reduces the noise of work, has a low price;
• mineral water 80w Many motorists believe that this is the best of oils in the VAZ 2114/2110 box. Its only drawback is its susceptibility to negative temperatures, at which this grease thickens, loses its own properties.

What kind of oil to fill in the VAZ 2110/2114 box? The company that manufactures these cars claims that they need to be poured into their gearbox:

• Lukoil TM-4;
• Nordix Supertrans;
• Lada Trans KP;
• Slavneft TM-4;
• TNK 75w

How to maintain a checkpoint

According to the recommendations of the car manufacturer, it is necessary to replace the transmission oil at least once every sixty thousand kilometers. However, this does not mean that before the expiration of this period, you can forget about the checkpoint. The best experts give the following tips to avoid driveline failure:

1. Measure the volume of the car oil regularly. Check by touch. This will help you detect solid particles. In this case, it is imperative to fill in fresh lubricant, which is best suited for the car. This rule is especially true for new cars, in which transmission parts only "rub in" to each other.
2. Pay attention to what the oily liquid looks and smells like. A dark shade and an unpleasant pungent smell indicate that the car oil is not doing its job. In addition, the listed signs may indicate that you have poured a low-quality fake into the checkpoint.
3. Keep in mind that the synthetics used in the transmission are very fluid. If you use it, check the condition of the gearbox oil seals. This is especially true for Vehicle with considerable mileage.
4. What kind of oil to fill in a VAZ box? It is better to fill in the oil of high quality, purchased from a reliable seller. This way you will not come across a fake. The purchase of a counterfeit petroleum product is "good" because you can save a couple of hundred rubles. However, if you put it in the checkpoint, the unit will most likely break down. You will have to spend a lot of money on overhauls.

Every car driver can check the amount of lubricant, assess its condition, and replace it. The execution of these tasks is not very difficult. You can of course have your transmission serviced by professionals. It all depends on how confident you are in your own abilities, how much free time you have, what skills you have. Making even the slightest mistake can trigger a variety of problems. It is recommended that you thoroughly understand the issue before getting down to business.

For the owners of "Lada Kalina" the problems associated with the transmission are actual. In most cases, they arise from quality degradation. lubricating fluid... Also, over time and with an increase in mileage, there is a decrease in the amount of lubricant in the gearbox. All this brings the inconvenience that drivers face.

All problems can be solved by changing the grease in the gearbox. But here a completely natural question arises. What oil to choose for addition to the Lada Kalina checkpoint? After all, the market is represented by a huge assortment, both in price categories and in chemical composition. We will try to understand this in detail.

How to decide on the choice of oil

So what kind of oil to fill in the gearbox of the "Lada Kalina"? It is simply impossible to give an unambiguous universal answer to this question. There are several criteria that you should pay attention to when choosing.

Basically, attention is paid to the price, viscosity, chemical composition, as well as the popularity of the manufacturer's brand. In fact, everything is not as complicated as it seems at first glance. However, when buying, you should pay special attention to the availability of GOST and product certification. This is very important, because when purchasing a product that does not have all of this, you may encounter not only low oil quality, but also with a further deterioration in the operation of the transmission.

When you buy a brand new Lada Kalina, the transmission is already filled with oil. As a rule, it is the manufacturer who recommends it. It can be found without any problems in almost any store. Magnum 300 lubricant from TNK is added to Lada Kalina from the factory.

In fact, according to the reviews of most car enthusiasts, this is not the best option. Oil very quickly deteriorate, and it has to be changed much more often than analogues. That is why we present a list of the most popular among the owners of "Lada Kalina":

As you can see, most often the products of the most famous and trusted manufacturers are chosen. The use of oil from TNK is justified in cases where the car is not used so often, or for a long period of time, the mileage is less than 20 thousand kilometers. Therefore, we can objectively say that the product recommended by AvtoVAZ is not the most effective for the vast majority of drivers.

Choosing the viscosity of the transmission oil

When choosing an oil for the Lada Kalina gearbox, it is important to focus on the viscosity of the purchased product. The following table will help with this:

We hope that, depending on the viscosity, you will be able to most accurately choose for yourself which oil is better to fill in the gearbox of the Lada Kalina.

How to choose the composition of transmission oil

In the Russian market, gear oils are divided into three types according to their chemical composition:

• synthetic;
• semi-synthetic;
• mineral.

From the plant, as we have already said, Magnum 300 from TNK is poured. By its composition, it belongs to. But less than 5% of the owners of Lada Kalina use this type.

The most preferred type of lubricant is semi-synthetic. This type is chosen by 50% of drivers, and we recommend it. And 45% of car owners buy fully synthetic fluids. What kind of oil you fill in the manual transmission depends entirely on you.

Which manufacturer to give preference to

Another important factor in choosing the best gear oil for Lada Kalina is the manufacturer's brand. The modern market is saturated with a large selection of products. It is the popular and popular brands that offer solid and high-quality products. In practice, the overwhelming majority of the offered lubricating fluid is actually cheaper analogs. good oils... Always check the availability of GOST when buying. If not, then, most likely, this liquid will not help. Better to pay a little more and get quality lubricant.

We present you a list of the most purchased Lada Kalina:

• ZIC (29.7% of buyers)
• Shell (14.1% of buyers)
• Liqui Moly (13.4% of buyers)
• Lukoil (12.4% of buyers)
• (5.5% of buyers)
• Mobil (4.2% of buyers)

Also, manufacturers TNK and Rosneft are almost on a par with Mobile. All presented brands produce products of different chemical composition. There are synthetic ones among them, semi-synthetic oils... A small circle of manufacturers deals with mineral fluids, since they are not so much in demand and are suitable for drivers in extremely rare cases due to their fragility.

What to choose for "Kalina"

If you still find it difficult to determine what kind of oil to fill in the gearbox of "Lada Kalina", then feel free to choose the products of one of the above manufacturers. So you will definitely not go wrong. The best quality are ZIC and Liqui Moly. Also, do not take mineral oils if you often drive. It is best to take semisynthetics or synthetics. This is the most durable option for those who regularly and for a long time uses the car.

Outcomes

As a result, we can say that the modern Russian market offers a wide range of transmission oils for any car. Among all the products, it is important to choose exactly the lubricant that is ideal for you. After a small comparative analysis, or trusting the opinion of most motorists, you can easily make the right choice. When buying, you must take into account the certification of the product. This is very important in order to be sure of the quality of the purchased oil.

Good day everyone! You went to our site, which means you were looking for which one is suitable oil in a box VAZ 2110... In this article we will consider which are suitable oils for the VAZ 2110 box.

Oil in the gearbox VAZ 2110

So, let's begin. The VAZ 2110 car from the factory is equipped with only a 5-speed manual gearbox. Of course, there are "dozens" that are equipped with an "automatic", but this is already the result of re-equipment of the car by "craftsmen". These are very rare cases and the oil in the VAZ 2110 automatic transmission should be selected in accordance with the installed gearbox. We will not dwell on this option, but consider only which oil is suitable for the VAZ 2110 mechanical box.

The manufacturer recommends using in gearbox VAZ 2110 oil with API classification GL-4 or GL-4 / GL-5 universal. In terms of viscosity, a SAE 75W90 or 80W90 gear oil is suitable for a VAZ 2110 box. In any case, the second number should be exactly 90, and the first is chosen in accordance with the climate in which the car is directly used. If the climate is mild or temperate, then the oil in the VAZ 2110 box should be chosen with a viscosity of 80W90, if the climate is cold - 75W90. In any case, this is just a recommendation for the comfortable use of the car. In any case, if you pour into the box VAZ 2110 oil with a viscosity of 85W90, nothing bad will happen. Since the VAZ 2110 gearbox is quite "tenacious" and unpretentious, even the engine oil poured into the VAZ 2110 box will not do any harm. Remember the saying: "Better at least some oil than no oil?" And if somewhere on the road you notice that oil in a box VAZ 2110 for some reason "disappeared", and the nearest store is very far away and only motor oil, then feel free to add it to the box, and upon arrival and troubleshooting, simply change it to the "correct" one.

What kind of oil to pour into the VAZ 2110 box?

So, we have determined that oil in a box VAZ 2110 must correspond to the class API GL-4 or GL-5 and viscosity SAE 75W90 or 80W90... Since we are in Siberia, and our winters are quite severe (up to -35 ..- 40C), it is important for us that after a long idle time the car starts up and the gears shift smoothly. Often when using low-quality or incorrectly selected oil in the box VAZ 2110 after a long standstill in the cold, it is not possible to turn on the required speed. You have to wait a long time with the clutch depressed and the engine running until the oil warms up. To avoid such situations, I recommend using oil with a viscosity of 75W90 in the VAZ 2110 box all year round.

Now consider, what oil to pour into the VAZ 2110 box... Among my personal recommendations are three options. This is a transmission oil for the VAZ 2110 gearbox, which I myself have used for several years and which have shown themselves only from the best side.

The best oil in a box VAZ 2110

An honorable third place is taken by gear oil Liqui Moly Hochleistungs-Getriebeoil GL4 + (GL-4 / GL-5) 75W-90... In general, Liqui Moly products command my respect. This is both German quality and truly advanced properties. Why, then, the third place? Definitely a price that bites a little. If you plan to pour really high-quality oil into the VAZ 2110 box and do not regret money at the same time, then feel free to follow the link to buy transmission oil Liqui Moly Hochleistungs-Getriebeoil GL4 + (GL-4 / GL-5) 75W-90. I am sure you will be surprised by the quality. And if you are planning to save some money, then we will continue.

How much oil is in a VAZ 2110 box?

This is the last question we will look at today. So, the volume of oil in the gearbox VAZ 2110 is approximately 3.3 liters. This is the volume when the oil is filled up to the MAX mark on the dipstick. But knowing the device of the VAZ 2110 gearbox, you should fill in a little more than the maximum level. If you are guided by the probe, then this is 3-4 mm above the maximum mark. Judging by the volume, then an additional 200-250 ml. This is due to the fact that the design of the 5th gear, when the VAZ 2110 gearbox is filled with oil up to the MAX mark, does not allow this speed to be sufficiently washed. Therefore, it is better to pour a little.

Let's summarize. The gearbox VAZ 2110 is filled with gear oil with an API GL-4 or GL-4/5 class and a viscosity of 75W90 or 85W90. For replacement, you need 3.3-3.5 liters. Among best options oils for the VAZ 2110 gearbox remain Liqui Moly, Petro-Canada and ZIC. These are just my recommendations.
