I have many familiar auto mechanics who help me in case of emergency and have considerable experience in parsing / repairing. In this article I will try to tell you what oils to use on a VAZ 2114 car.

Sooner or later, or rather, on the basis of the rules for conducting technological service car, it is also time to change the lubricant mixture in the gearbox. And in this case, the owner of the car is not the easiest choice, which oil is still more reasonable to use? The choice of lubricant for the machine in the gearbox must be carried out as carefully as possible.

If you choose a lubricant for a VAZ-2114 car, in this case, manufacturing company provides in its technological documentation a specific list of lubricants for automotive systems and engine elements. However, this list does not always correspond to existing realities and oil quality standards.

After reviewing some sources of information on the Internet and scrolling through many automotive sites with discussions of motor oils and reviews (will be lower in the article), I came to the conclusion that motorists pour such lubricant into the gearbox that their motor will definitely not like.

Let's not get carried away and get sidetracked. Consider which lubricants for motors are the most popular among car owners, as well as what lubricants were recommended in the work: the well-known oil from is synthetic in its basis and it is advised by the car manufacturer. It is this lubricant that is used in many of the latest AvtoVAZ engines. It is also often used in 14 models.

The excellent lubricating properties of this series of oils guarantee a long machine life at high and medium pressures. According to the existing classification, the oil complies with the API and the GL standard.

85w90 is another high-quality semi-synthetic oil that belongs to the API class and has a designation of at least GL-4. Many experts advise for 14 AvtoVAZ models with mileage. For its price, I would put it at the very beginning. By the way, it costs much cheaper than the classic “synthetics”, and by the way, the gearbox on this oil operates much more quietly.

• However, many car owners will ask a fair question: what oils (referring to specific companies) can be poured into the 2114 engine? I would look at this question more precisely and write a list of gear lubricants that can be poured into this unit:
• Trans KP, TM, Nordix Super trans, Slavneft. Also included here are oils, Getribeoil and some types of TNK lubricants. The latter oils are expensive, but chemical composition and additives are far superior to similar products from other manufacturers.
• For this reason, if the owner of the car is worried about his beloved " iron horse”, Naturally, he will choose these lubricants.

Types of lubricants

As everyone knows, the established marking of lubricants was not invented from scratch, and there are certain reasons for this. I would note three types of lubricants for 2114 that can be poured into the motor and gearbox. These lubricants have different designations and chemical indicators, but the main thing in choosing is the viscosity index. It is he who should be taken into account if you select a lubricant for your VAZ 2114. So, let's take a look at how oil auto fluids are classified.

Semi-synthetic oil. Often used in the 14th model of AvtoVAZ. In fact, this is the most popular type of motor lubricant. Semi-synthetic oils are almost ideal for use in most of the climatic zones of Russia. This mixture is something between mineral water and synthetic oil, which is obtained by mixing certain proportions.

Such oils are also suitable for 2114, since they are much less sensitive to temperature fluctuations.

Choosing a lubricant in the gearbox

When choosing a lubricant, I would advise you to be guided by the words of automakers. It is difficult to say which lubricant would be better for sure, since oils on the market are sold in fairly large quantities.

The overall performance of the car depends on the oil purchased for the gearbox or engine, as mentioned earlier, so I would not recommend saving. The bay of base grease guarantees certain problems after several thousand kilometers. It is best to listen to the advice of the car manufacturer and make a choice in favor of only trusted companies.

Buying lubricants for a VAZ (and for any car in general) is only worth it in good car dealerships with a reputation.

The main motor lubricant 10W-40 from Lukoil

For all owners of AvtoVAZ cars, and first of all for those who use the car in difficult conditions: the company's oils are suitable for extreme temperatures and making constant movements over short distances, the oil guarantees a cold start.

Series engine oil has the following advantages: Series lubrication guarantees instant start and quiet operation motor 2114 in any weather. Also, the lubricant guarantees high savings in gasoline and effectively prevents the formation of sediment. These lubricants have won many prizes at competitions and are very popular.

Oils have the best anti-wear properties in almost all conditions, as well as when starting in the cold. Oxidation resistance permits the longest change intervals for this oil. The oils of the series fully comply with existing quality standards.

A high-quality lubricant was created and developed as if specifically for 14 series cars and is used in other cars of the company. The oil has the best anti-wear properties and guarantees the highest level of protection in almost any conditions, also when the engine is running in the cold. The resistance to increased oxidation permits the longest change intervals for this oil.

About the choice of viscosity and the term itself

The viscosity of the lubricant is determined at maximum temperatures and at high speeds of surface friction, while being characterized by three main indicators - these are dynamic, kinematic indicators, as well as indicators of the oil viscosity level index.

According to viscosity characteristics, both all-weather and summer / winter samples go.

TO universal oils for VAZ include:

• SAE , SAE , SAE and SAE 20W40.
• With the values ​​​​on the container of all-season lubricants, such values ​​\u200b\u200bshould be present, the first is an indicator of oil viscosity at minimum temperatures, and the second - at maximum.
• The number after the SAE index indicates the viscosity level of the oil, and the larger this number, the higher the viscosity index of a particular lubricant.

If " fiery motor"- the heart of your car, then the gearbox (abbreviated as checkpoint) can claim the title of his " nervous system". And these nerves sooner or later begin to "give up." True, unlike human ones, they are very easy to restore. The solution is very simple - change the oil. So we will figure out how to change the oil in the VAZ 2114 gearbox. To do this, it is not at all necessary to drag your iron horse to a service station. Experienced motorists know that the device domestic VAZ 2114 or 2115 in terms of ergonomics is in no way inferior to the Kalashnikov assault rifle: shake it - blow it - ready to fire! It is enough to first unscrew one plug, draining the old oil, then pour in a new one, but in another hole. Everything - the replacement was successful! Fast, not expensive, which means it's better than at the service station.

All that is needed for an emergency recovery of the VAZ 2114 gearbox:

• overpass;
• viewing hole;
• duty set of tools;
• a pair of hands growing out of that place and a bit of knowledge.

What is poured - then pour

No matter how the automakers swear, no matter how many liters the volume of the engine is set, no matter what type of fuel they transfer their brainchildren to, Harry Ford, a hundred years ago, said - “Transmission”, and they will not be able to change at least something in the basic design another century and a half.

And in the database we still have the same gearbox - that is, a crankcase, a set of gears of various sizes and oil that ensures the reliable operation of all constituent parts car body. And no matter what problems happen along the way, any car owner should know how to change the oil in a traditional mechanical box gears of a native VAZ or in a foreign car machine.

There is only one fundamental principle of replacement - which brand of lubricant the manufacturers poured into the crankcase - fill it in for replacement. Unfortunately, auto kettles often think that when replacing the box, you can pour engine oil. But this is not at all the case, because, unlike engine oil, gearbox oil has a different viscosity and temperature characteristics. Taking into account the difference in temperature conditions and other nuances of the operation of the units, then it is up to extra-class car mechanics to deal with such a fatal mistake. Therefore, do not experiment - the lubricant for the VAZ 2114 gearbox must exactly match what the manufacturers poured into it. Otherwise, you won't get in trouble.

For mechanics and machines

Yes, that's right - if different types boxes, then technical liquid they need to pour different. Without going into complex technical and chemical terms, this can be explained by the fact that they must have different viscosity. For our reliable unpretentious VAZ 2014 and VAZ 2015, with a mechanical type of gearbox, gear oil certified according to GOST: SAE or API is best suited. Domestic motorists are more in favor with the first gradation.

What does it happen? Conventionally, gear oils are divided into three types:

• 80-250W - reliable oil for car operation in summer or in hot climates;
• 70-85W - perfect for preparing the car for the winter;
• all-weather fluids, which are preferred by most drivers.

Which one to choose - everyone can check in action, and then decide for himself.

Much harder with automatic transmission foreign cars. In them, the liquid serves not only to lubricate all units, but also enhances the torque itself. Therefore, it is strongly recommended that you carefully study the manufacturer's instructions, which indicate suitable brands oils and strictly follow it.

When should the oil be changed?

It's hard to check it out. But the answer to this question can again be found in the factory manual for the car. But even here there are nuances. If your VAZ 2014 left the assembly line not so long ago, then the transmission gears most likely have not yet got used to each other. Consequently, small metal chips gradually accumulate in the pan, which does not improve performance at all. manual transmission. Therefore, it is better to drain the oil for the first time a little earlier than the period indicated in the manual.

In the case of an automatic transmission, the timing of replacement directly depends on the mileage and type of box. In vending machines, it all depends on how much you run. In a conventional machine, lubrication must be updated after every 30-60 thousand kilometers traveled. In the variator - after 70-80 thousand kilometers. IN robotic boxes type DSG - it is better to replace it every 80-90 thousand kilometers. However, not all "foreigners" have time to run such a mileage. In this case, a simple rule applies - new grease is poured at least once every two years.

Themselves with hands

In memorable times Soviet Union service stations were few. And they served, mainly, the transport of the party and economic elite. Therefore, any Soviet motorist could then independently check the level and change the oil in his Zhiguli or Muscovite. Today we are spoiled by the presence of technical stations within walking distance. But in fact, the replacement technology is as simple as all ingenious.

Changing gear oil in a manual transmission

Changing transmission oil in automatic transmission

For example, changing the oil in automatic box transmission, is much more complicated:

• Along with the new oil, you should definitely buy a new filter element. Its replacement, along with lubricant for machines - a prerequisite.
• As in the case of mechanics, we warm up the transmission fluid. Then we put the car on a flyover or inspection hole.
• We unscrew the bolts securing the pan to the crankcase. After removing the pan, let the oil drain completely into a pre-prepared reservoir.
• While the liquid drains, remove oil filter. We throw out the old cleaner, and install a new one in its place. Thoroughly wipe the inside surface of the box and pan from oil residue. Now we put a new gasket in place of its attachment to the gearbox and apply a layer of sealant to enhance the effect. We mount the pallet.
• Under the hood we find the filler hole and unscrew the plug. Armed with a suitable size funnel or the same plunger syringe, we begin to pour the transmission fluid. How many? Up to the level specified in the instruction manual.
• We close the cork. The replacement has been made. Bon Voyage!

As you can see self service gearboxes VAZ 2114 - a matter of a maximum of 40 minutes. But it allows you to significantly save money on a visit to the service station. Take care of your car and it will serve you faithfully for many years.

Oil is one of the important components that ensures the normal operation and functioning of the gearbox and transmission. Changing the oil in the gearbox should be carried out in a timely manner to avoid damage to your vehicle. According to the operating rules of the VAZ 2114, an oil change must be carried out after 75 thousand km. run. If you ignore this rule, then you will have to change not only the oil, but the entire gearbox. Changing the oil in the VAZ 2114 gearbox is very simple, the only negative is a rather dirty process. When changing the oil, remember that although the total volume of fluid in the tank is 3.5 liters, you need to fill in 3.3 liters.

How to check the oil level

with probe

The probe itself is located below the thermostat. You can recognize it by a cork with a ring. The probe is attached to the cork itself. If you gently pull on the dipstick ring, it can be pulled out. There are two level marks on the dipstick itself that will help you find out the oil level. Wipe the dipstick well, insert it back and remove it. Examine the rod. If the dipstick is soiled with oil in the middle between the marks or up to the maximum mark, the oil level is normal. If it is dirty to the minimum mark, the oil should be changed or topped up.

Without dipstick

Without a dipstick, the oil level in the gearbox can also be checked. It is not so simple and convenient, but it is necessary to do it. To do this, you have to climb under the car and remove the crankcase protection, unscrew filler plug checkpoint and manually check the ground level. If you can feel the oil with your finger, then it is enough, if not, you need to change or top up.

Important! Do not abruptly switch from mineral to synthetic oil. Synthetics will begin to corrode stubborn residues mineral oil that you have used before, which may cause defects in the seals.

What factors to consider when choosing an oil

In order to choose the right oil that suits your car, you need to take into account a number of factors that affect its choice:

• When choosing oil for a gearbox in a VAZ 2114, the recommendations specified in the vehicle's operating instructions should be taken into account.
• What oil have you used before. Synthetic or mineral oil.

• The opinion of the experts who service your vehicle.
• Degree of deterioration of the engine.
• Season. Do not operate a car with a liquid for positive temperatures in winter. This can be harmful to the gearbox and transmission.

Choosing the right oil is essential to the operation and function of the transmission, so it must be done responsibly.

Note! When choosing gearbox oil and VAZ transmission oil, you should pay attention to the manufacturer, product certification, and expiration date. If you use a fake, it can lead to damage and costly vehicle repairs.

Replacement guide and how often to change the oil

Under normal loads, the oil in the VAZ 2114 gearbox is changed after 70-80 thousand km. If operation is carried out under critical or other difficult conditions(heat or severe frost, dirt roads etc.) you need to change the oil after 25-30 thousand km. run. Be sure to pay attention to the rules for changing the oil, which are prescribed in the instructions. So, changing the oil of the gearbox VAZ 2113 and 2115 is carried out without fail every 60 km. run. An oil change in a VAZ 2115, 2113 and 2114 box is carried out in almost the same way. In order to change the oil, you should install the car on a viewing hole (overpass) and remove the crankcase protection.

1. To put on hand brake and chock all wheels.
2. We remove the cap, which is located on the gearbox and clean the breather and the hole with a metal brush.
3. Check the oil level with a dipstick.
4. Unscrew the drain plug with a 17 mm wrench
5. Drain the oil. The procedure will take 15-20 minutes.
6. Screw the drain plug back.
7. Pour the right amount of oil to where the gearbox filler hole is located, and twist the dipstick.
8. We check the oil level.
9. We twist the cap on the breather.
10. We put the protection in place.

Important! If the VAZ 2114 was produced before 2003 without a dipstick, you need to remove the oil drain plug, which is located on the right side of the body.

Substitution Rules

To ensure that the oil change is carried out correctly and there are no problems, adhere to the following factors:

1. If you fill the car with the same oil as before, you can skip the engine flush.
2. Never mix different oils in the gearbox. Miscellaneous Features oils can lead to undesirable consequences.
3. The engine should be flushed before changing the oil to a new one that is different from what was used before. For washing, you need to mix oil and kerosene in equal proportions. Pour the mixture into the box, start the engine and engage first gear. Wait 5 minutes. Stop the engine and drain the fluid.
4. Be sure to wear protective clothing (goggles, gloves) and choose the right container to drain the liquid.

If the oil change was carried out in accordance with all the rules and the oil good quality, then your car will run perfectly and there will be no problems.

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

The mistake of many drivers is such that they usually think only about engine oil, and forget about transmission lubricant, remember 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 divided into 3 groups:

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

Advantage of synthetics

The key indicator of gear oil is the viscosity index. It depends on how fluid the lubricant poured into the transmission will be under various temperature conditions. Any transmission oils contain additives that improve their performance and increase the operating period. Additives, consisting of a variety of chemical elements, do not allow the lubricant in the box to foam, and prevent the appearance of scoring on spare parts. Information about the properties and composition of the oil is written on the canister.

When choosing oil in a VAZ gearbox, you need to consider design features unit. In addition, it is worth considering:

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

The choice of motor 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, reduce overheating. What kind of oil to pour into a box for VAZ 2114/2110? Fill in API GL-4.

• synthetics 75w It has good lubricating properties, allows the gearbox to function smoothly in low-temperature conditions;
• semi-synthetics 85w It is used for pouring into 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 the oils in the VAZ 2114/2110 box. Its only disadvantage is susceptibility to negative temperatures, at which this lubricant thickens and loses its own properties.

What kind of oil to fill in a VAZ 2110/2114 box? The company that produces 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

Recommended gear oils

How to maintain a checkpoint

According to the recommendations of the automaker, the transmission oil should be changed at least once every sixty thousand kilometers. However, this does not mean that you can forget about the checkpoint before the expiration of this period. Top Experts give the following tips to avoid transmission failure:

1. Regularly measure the volume of the car oil. Do a touch check. This way you can detect solid particles. In this case, it is imperative to fill in fresh grease, which is best suited for the car. This rule is especially true for new cars, in which transmission parts only “grind” to each other.
2. Pay attention to how the oily liquid looks and smells. A dark shade and an unpleasant pungent odor indicate that the oil is not doing its job. In addition, the listed signs may indicate that you have filled in a low-quality fake at the checkpoint.
3. Do not forget that the synthetics used to fill in the transmission are very fluid. If you use it, check the condition of the gearbox seals. This is especially true for vehicles with considerable mileage.
4. What kind of oil to fill in a VAZ box? It is better to fill in high-quality oil, bought from a reliable seller. That way you won't run into a fake. The purchase of a fake oil product is “good” in that you can save a couple of hundred rubles. However, if you pour it into the gearbox, the unit will most likely break. You have to spend a lot of money on repairs.

Each driver of a car can check the volume of lubricant, evaluate its condition, and replace it. The execution of these tasks is not difficult. Of course, you can entrust transmission maintenance to professionals. It all depends on how confident you are own forces how much free time you have, what skills you have. Making even the slightest mistake can provoke a variety of problems. It is recommended to thoroughly understand the issue before proceeding with the case.

If you become the owner of a vehicle, you should know that you cannot only operate a car, but technical condition do not pay due attention. Otherwise, you will have to face difficulties in the near future. Your car just won't want to budge. You will have to invite masters or transport your car in tow to the station. To avoid this fate, you need to know how to properly change the oil in the VAZ-2114 gearbox. By the way, many of you may have heard that the gearbox is the most stable unit that needs the least maintenance. repair work. This, indeed, is true, but only on condition that you drain the mining in time and fill in a new one.

How is the oil change in the VAZ-2114 gearbox.

Replacement process

The specialists at the station are ready to offer you Maintenance. They are well versed in these technical matters so you can easily replace it. However, you should be prepared for the fact that you will have to pay a significant amount of money for such a service. We suggest you do otherwise, initially arm yourself with our recommendations, purchase everything necessary materials, and then proceed to the practical replacement of the transmission fluid.

How often should the oil be changed

To find out how often you need to change the TM, the recommendations of the manufacturer of your vehicle help us. In particular, if you have domestic car VAZ-2114, then it is necessary to replace the transmission fluid every 60 thousand kilometers. However, we will hasten to make small adjustments. If you operate your car in difficult conditions, make you travel long distances on poor quality roads, then it is best to fill in new oil at the checkpoint after a run of 30 thousand kilometers.

We also recommend learning to hear your own car. Listen for any sounds that have not previously appeared when shifting gears. If you begin to notice suspicious squeaks, if every attempt to switch the speed is accompanied by even minor difficulties, then it's time to change the TM. Replacement will also be required in cases where the clutch does not work.

Checking the oil level in the gearbox

Even if you have recently filled in new oil, we recommend checking its level from time to time. Even a slight decrease in the permissible volume can provoke a technical failure, as a result of which the gearbox will stop functioning normally. Inexperienced drivers do not always know how to properly check the oil level in the VAZ-2114 gearbox, so we are sending you ready-made recommendations.

First, open the hood and visually inspect the engine compartment to determine where the dipstick is located. Remove the dipstick, wipe it thoroughly with a rag to completely eliminate old oil marks. We recommend using a lint-free cloth. Otherwise, these fluffs may remain on the surface of the dipstick and then get into the gear oil.

Now just return the dipstick to its original position, wait a few minutes, remove it again and carefully look at exactly where the oil mark is. On the surface of the probe, you will find the marks of the permissible maximum and minimum. It is recommended that the oil mark be sure to reach the maximum allowable mark, since the gear in the manual gearbox is responsible for the operation of the fifth gear, it is located above the rest of the gearbox components. To ensure the normal functioning of this particular gear, it is important that the oil level is always at the maximum mark.

Which transmission oil to choose

Now we suggest that you familiarize yourself with what gear oil you need to fill in the VAZ-2114 box. It is also impossible to make mistakes here, since a transmission fluid that does not correspond in its technical parameters to a particular gearbox will not only not be able to ensure the correct operation of the box, but, on the contrary, can provoke its breakdown. So, we propose to figure out which oils recommended by the manufacturer you need to look for in car dealerships. By the way, the manufacturer in this matter recommends car owners to consider several factors:

• under what weather conditions do you most often have to operate a car;
• what kind of gearbox is installed on the car: mechanical or automatic;
• installed on a car injector or carburetor;
• is given preference.

In auto shops you will be offered mineral, semi-synthetic and synthetic TM. We recommend to abandon mineral oil, as it is accompanied by low performance. Synthetic oil copes with technical tasks perfectly, so most car owners purchase this particular type of TM.

Unfortunately, synthetics have high cost so it's not easy for everyone to get it. As an alternative, it is better to purchase one that has affordable price and very acceptable technical specifications. Experienced motorists recommend purchasing either 75w-90 synthetics or 85w-90 semi-synthetics. It is forbidden to purchase an oil characterized by a high viscosity, as it will prevent sufficient lubrication of the rotating gears.

How much to fill

Before going to a car shop, it will be useful for you to know how much oil fits in a VAZ-2114 box. It's really, helpful information, since it is unwise to acquire an insufficient number of liters of oil, since it will not be possible to achieve a high result of such a procedure. But the acquisition of an excess amount of TM will provoke unjustified extra costs.

The manufacturer recommends purchasing 3.3 liters transmission oil. However, in the car shop you will find containers that fit 1, 3 or 5 liters. Decide for yourself how much you buy. You can take two containers (1 and 3 liters), or you can immediately purchase a five-liter canister, and always carry the rest in the trunk so that if necessary you always have TM on hand, topping it up in time if a deficiency is found. Filling in a sufficient amount of oil, you ensure the successful functioning of the gearbox, the operation of the valves and the breather that relieves pressure.

What tools are needed

You are almost already prepared for the upcoming procedure, you have acquired correct oil. It remains to prepare the necessary tools, without which the implementation of the upcoming actions will be difficult. Just note that you need to prepare not so many tools:

• a container in which it will be possible to collect mining;
• keys on "8" and "17".

How to add oil to the gearbox

Adding oil to the gearbox is not difficult, it is only important to initially figure out how much is missing. To do this, you will use the probe. You just need to add to the filler hole oily liquid, which you stocked up and carry with you in the trunk. If there is no such stock, then you will urgently need to visit an auto shop to buy a minimum container of TM.

Complete replacement procedure

If your VAZ-2114 car already needs a complete oil change, then you will need to carry out completely different manipulations, which we still recommend doing with your own hands.

Waste drain

It is clear that since you have set yourself the task of changing the oil in the gearbox on the VAZ-2114, then initially you need to drain the old oil. Before carrying out the procedure, ride a little, warm up the gearbox, and with it the old oily liquid, then it will flow out much faster. After a short trip, drive your car onto the overpass, dismantle the protection, remove the dipstick to check the TM level.

Unscrew the cork drain hole, immediately substitute the container where mining will drain. As soon as the waste starts to flow out, you can do other things, because in any case, you can not do anything until all the old transmission fluid stops flowing out of the box.

Filling in new oil

Now let's move on to the final stage of such a technical procedure. You will need to refocus all your attention on the filler hole from which you removed the dipstick. Insert a funnel and hose into this hole, then fill in 3.3 liters of new gear oil. To make sure that this amount is quite enough for the successful operation of the gearbox, arm yourself with a dipstick and check the level of filled TM. If the oil mark does not reach the maximum mark, add a small amount more.

So, as you can see, the process of replacing the transmission fluid is not accompanied by any difficulties. It is for this reason that we recommend that you carry out such a procedure yourself, while saving your own savings.
