After purchasing a Lada Granta Liftback from the showroom, the first stage of changing the engine oil occurs in the range of 2 to 3 thousand kilometers. Since the machine is under warranty, it is not advisable to exceed the specified range. It is not uncommon for a warranty to be voided due to non-compliance by the owner.

Timing for replacing the engine oil in Lada Granta Liftback

The manufacturer, in the operating instructions, indicates the following maintenance intervals:

• Maintenance – 1 (technical inspection): 2000 – 3000 km;
• TO – 2: 15000 km;
• TO – 3: 30,000 km;
• TO – 4: 45,000 km;
• TO – 5: 60,000 km;
• TO – 6: 75,000 km;
• TO – 7: 90,000 km;
• TO – 8: 105,000 km.

Engine oil volume in Grant Liftback Regardless of the engine modification: 8, 16 valve, the amount of fluid is 3.5 liters. 3.30 liters are poured directly into the engine, and 100 - 150 grams into the oil filter during the process of replacing consumables.

Type of engine oil (8 and 16 valves) What kind of oil to fill in Granta Liftback: since the range of engines complies with Euro - 4 standards, the minimum acceptable class is semi-synthetic, viscosity 10W - 40. However, the manufacturer does not prohibit filling “synthetics” with viscosity index: 0W – 40, 5W – 40. As necessary, the owner can fill in seasonal, winter, summer oils, abandoning the all-season type 10W – 40.

What kind of oil is used in Liftback from the factory?

By default, the manufacturer fills in the break-in fluid before the first maintenance. Class - mineral base. The fluid must be replaced upon reaching a mileage of 2–3 thousand km. Subsequent operation of the machine with break-in oil is extremely unsafe for the functionality of the engine. Oil consumption Lada Granta Liftback Regardless of the quality of assembly and components, the power unit consumes oil. The natural needs of the engine are at the level of 100 - 150 ml / 1000 km. Exceeding the permissible range indirectly indicates the presence of a malfunction.

Engine oil volume

As mentioned above, several types of power units are installed on Lada Granta cars. Depending on the specific modification of the engine, when changing the oil you will need from 3.5 to 4 liters of technical fluid.

You can obtain the necessary information about the characteristics of the lubrication system in more detail in the technical documentation for your specific vehicle.

Remember also that it is recommended to purchase a liter and a half more car lubricant, which is subsequently topped up during vehicle operation.

Selecting and replacing the oil filter for Granta Liftback

The range of manufacturers of cleaning elements for Lada Granta Liftback is quite wide. The brand has no fundamental significance provided it is legally acquired. Since 2010, the VAZ manufacturer has gradually abandoned the use of filters with a “long” skirt, giving preference to a “short” one.

The main difference between the two types of filters is the length of the base. In the first case it is 8.5 cm, in the second 6.0 cm. The reason for the transition is optimization and rational use of the capabilities of components. Changing the length of the base does not in any way affect the functionality or flow filtration.

Main manufacturers and cost of oil filter

Sequence of actions when replacing the oil filter of Lada Granta Liftback with your own hands

1. The machine is installed on a level platform (hydraulic lift), the engine oil is drained, and the hood is open.
2. Using a special key with a chain cape, we twist the cleaner through the opening in the engine compartment. Without auxiliary equipment, it is difficult to tear it from its seat.
3. Remove the cleaner.
4. We wipe the seat, remove any residual waste, and check the integrity of the threads on the rod.
5. Fill the new filter with 100 - 150 ml of new engine oil and install it in its original place.

It is important to know. The given algorithm of actions is relevant for an 8-valve engine. In a 16-valve design, oil and filter changes are carried out through the bottom of the engine compartment, since the valve covers are obstructed at the top.

The process of changing the oil in a manual transmission yourself

1. We install the car on the inspection channel. Alternatively, use a hydraulic lifting mechanism, a road overpass.
2. We fix the wheels with wheel chocks and apply the handbrake.
3. Open the hood and unscrew the filler cap.
4. Under the bottom, near the right drive, unscrew the drain plug (hexagon) and drain the waste into an empty container.
5. We wait 10 - 15 minutes until the maximum complete drainage. The less waste remains inside, the more useful components will be retained in the lubricant.
6. Screw in the drain plug.
7. We unscrew the filler plug at the top of the manual transmission and pour 3.2 liters of new fluid into the gearbox.
8. We wait 3 - 4 minutes for the liquid to sink to the bottom of the crankcase. We start the engine and test the car.

Typical beginner mistakes

• purchasing engine/transmission fluid out of season;
• insufficient level/exceeding the maximum lubricant level;
• reusing an old filter;
• aggressive driving style;
• failure to meet deadlines for replacing consumables.

What kind of oil to fill in the Lada Granta engine

The manufacturer recommends the following oils: Mobil 1, ShellHelix, Lukoil, Rosneft, Tatneft and others corresponding to the viscosity characteristics of the oil. The decision on which oil to purchase and fill is up to you; the AvtoVAZ plant only gives recommendations, which can be found in the figures below.

Differences between oil changes in 8 and 16 valve engines on Grant

Changing the oil on 8 and 16 valve engines is almost the same. The only difference is that on a 16 valve engine it is impossible to remove the oil filter from above. To replace it, you will need to unscrew the middle protection (pan). Otherwise there are no differences.

Keep in mind! When changing the oil, replacing the oil filter is mandatory!

How much oil should be poured into the Granta engine?

If you have a Lada Granta with an 8 or 16 valve engine and a manual transmission, you need to fill in 3.2 liters of oil . If you have an automatic transmission you need 4.4 liters of oil .

Reviews

Conclusion What brand of oil to pour into the engine and gearbox is a purely individual matter. You should start from the cost of the canister and listen to the manufacturer’s recommendations. Otherwise, you risk voiding your warranty.

What kind of oil to pour

First, let's figure out what kind of oil to pour into the Lada Granta engine. Lada Granta cars are equipped with several types of power units that have a similar design.

In accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations, when changing oil, it is necessary to use SJ and SL grease.

We can recommend that you use high-quality semi-synthetic options, choosing their viscosity values ​​in accordance with climatic conditions.
But using cheap mineral motor lubricants is not recommended. Still, these are modern engines that require high-quality maintenance and the use of appropriate technical fluids.

In this case, it also makes no sense to purchase expensive synthetic motor lubricant. Such compositions are intended for use on modern forced engines and will not be able to guarantee the Lada Granta engine high-quality lubrication of moving elements.

Remember that it is recommended to purchase oil and filters from specialized auto stores. This will allow you to avoid purchasing counterfeits, and you, in turn, will be able to perform all the necessary service work on your car efficiently and quickly.
