How much oil to fill in the box of a VAZ 2110

Gearbox of a VAZ 2110 car, a unit that lasts for a long time. However, there is an important requirement: after a certain mileage, it is necessary to change the oil in the 2110 box. This work is done with your own hands and takes no more than an hour. Usually the procedure is performed after 75 thousand mileage, but sometimes this figure changes. It all depends on the operating loads on the machine. In some cases, it is necessary to replace it even after 40 thousand km.

Changing the oil in the gearbox of a VAZ 2110, VAZ-2111 and VAZ-2112

Today we will tell you how to drain and refill the oil in the gearbox on your ten yourself. There is nothing complicated in the procedure; it is, of course, more convenient to do all this on an inspection pit or a lift, but it is also possible in the field. The instruction book says that you need to fill in 3.3 liters of oil, but you can fill in 3.4-3.5 liters. Don’t even think about filling in 4 liters - it might squeeze out the seals! Play it safe by checking the amount of oil filled with a dipstick; the oil should be between the minimum and maximum marks. Take measurements on a flat surface. It is best to change the oil when the gearbox is warm, at least after a short trip.

Open the hood and pull out the dipstick on the gearbox.

Then unscrew the drain bolt on the gearbox using a 17 key and drain the old oil. Prepare a container for oil in advance.

Then we tighten the drain plug, pull it through and pour oil into the hole for the dipstick. It is convenient to do this through a watering can, or with a special syringe.

Then check the oil level using the dipstick

Congratulations, now you can independently change the oil in the gearbox on your VAZ-2110, 2111 or 2112. Usually, after changing the oil, the gears shift smoother, and the gearbox becomes less noisy and is no longer subject to the same wear and tear as with oil that has lost its properties. Don't forget to check the oil level in the box. If you have any questions, we invite you to the forum at the VAZ-2110 lovers club.

According to the “tens” maintenance regulations, the transmission oil level must be checked at 15, 45, 60, 90, 105 thousand km, etc. And change the gearbox oil every 75,000 km. This is not a complicated procedure, but it has its own characteristics. Let's look at the oil change process in more detail.

Required. an empty container with a capacity of at least 3.5 liters, a “17” key, a clean rag, a funnel, a hose and new gear oil (read which oil is best to fill in the gearbox here).

Warm up the oil so that it becomes more liquid by driving the car for at least 10 km.
Drive the car onto an overpass or pit.
Pull out the dipstick to check the oil level from the gearbox (located in the engine compartment next to the clutch cable and thermostat).

Unscrew the plug from the gearbox (from the bottom of the car) using a 17 key.
Drain the oil into an empty container.
Clean the surface from dirt and tighten the plug.
Pour transmission oil through the hole of the level indicator (volume about 3.3 liters), using a funnel and a hose with a diameter of about 1 cm.
Wait 5 minutes for the oil to drain and then check the oil level using the dipstick (the level should be between the MIN and MAX marks).

In a similar way, you can change the oil in the gearbox of other Lada cars (for example, Grant, Kalina, Priora, etc.).
Changing the oil in a VAZ 2110 gearbox is also on video: How much oil to pour into the gearbox? It is traditionally accepted that the oil level should be in the middle, between the MIN and MAX marks. However, there are recommendations that suggest that to improve lubrication of the fifth gear bearings, the oil level can be raised a few millimeters above MAX (to the letter “A”, which includes about 3.5 liters).

What amount of oil do you recommend pouring into the VAZ box? Should I add more oil than the MAX mark? Let us remind you that the frequency of maintenance of VAZ cars of the tenth family is indicated in this table.

Stories from our readers

“Fucking basin. "

Hi all! My name is Mikhail, now I’ll tell you a story about how I managed to exchange my two-wheeler for a 2010 Camry. It all started with the fact that I began to be wildly irritated by the breakdowns of the two-wheeler, it seemed like nothing serious was broken, but damn it, there were so many little things that really started to irritate me. This is where the idea arose that it was time to change the car to a foreign car. The choice fell on the melting Camry of the tenth years.

Yes, I had matured morally, but financially I just couldn’t handle it. I’ll say right away that I am against loans and taking a car, especially not a new one, on credit is unreasonable. My salary is 24k a month, so collecting 600-700 thousand is almost impossible for me. I started looking for different ways to make money on the Internet. You can’t imagine how many scams there are, what I haven’t tried: sports betting, network marketing, and even the volcano casino, where I successfully lost about 10 thousand ((The only direction in which it seemed to me that I could make money was currency trading on the stock exchange, they call it Forex. But when I started delving into it, I realized that it was very difficult for me. I continued to dig further and came across binary options. The essence is the same as in Forex, but it’s much easier to understand. I started reading forums, studying trading strategies. I tried it on a demo account, then opened a real account. To be honest, I didn’t manage to start earning money right away, until I understood all the mechanics of options, I lost about 3,000 rubles, but as it turned out, it was a precious experience. Now I earn 5-7 thousand rubles a day. I managed to get the car buy after half a year, but in my opinion this is a good result, and it’s not about the car, my life has changed, I naturally quit my job, I have more free time for myself and my family. You’ll laugh, but I work directly on the phone)) If If you want to change your life like me, then here’s what I advise you to do right now: 1. Register on the site 2.

How much oil is in the box of your VAZ car?

Source

Replacement frequency

AvtoVAZ recommends filling transmission oil every 75 thousand kilometers. Exceeding this regulation is not recommended. Moreover, for greater confidence in the reliability of the gearbox, the oil change period is halved if severe operating conditions require it. The fact is that under the influence of negative factors, oil loses its beneficial properties much faster than required by regulations. Let's highlight several main factors that force you to resort to more frequent oil changes in the VAZ-2112 gearbox:

Frequent driving at high speeds
The car experiences constant overloads due to exceeded load capacity
The driver makes mistakes when shifting gears, as a result the gearbox overheats
Frequent temperature changes, the weather quickly changes to cold and warm, high humidity, precipitation
The engine often runs at high speeds, and because of this it overheats

Any of the above factors has an adverse effect on the oil. As a result, its composition deteriorates, and the fluid is no longer able to effectively cool gearbox parts and prevent them from overheating. As a result, breakdowns occur that can only be avoided by more frequent oil changes. Russian motorists usually do this every 30 thousand kilometers, or even earlier. In addition, under conditions of increased load on the car, it is recommended to check the oil level in advance and monitor its condition.

About the gearbox

The gearbox on the VAZ-2112 is of a mechanical type and is designed to transmit torque directly from the engine to the chassis, set speed and direction of movement. In other words, this is a special multi-stage gearbox that changes gears manually. Of course, the main and main advantage of this box is the reliability and simplicity of the design, the absence of restrictions (in comparison with an automatic gearbox - approx.), simplicity and cost-effectiveness of repairs.

Despite the fact that AvtoVAZ began producing modern cars with automatic transmission, many car enthusiasts still prefer manual transmission.

General instructions for changing oil in a VAZ 2110 gearbox

Replacing transmission fluid is a simple procedure and quite doable, let’s say, in a garage environment. To do this, you will need to get a pit or lift, some tools, new lubricant and read a few rules provided below.

Level dipstick

Tools

New transmission fluid;
Clean rag;
Drain container;
Key;
Funnel.

Instructions

It is best to change the oil after a trip so that the engine is well warmed up. If such a case does not present itself, warm up the car for about 5 minutes by shifting gears.
Place the car on a level surface, set the handbrake and turn off the ignition. It is better to lift the car hood using a lift. But after finishing the work and before checking the level, you will need to lower the car.
Wipe the pouring area (inspection hole) with a clean cloth. It is located in front of the gearbox housing. Then unscrew the cap with a key and wipe again.
Take the drain container and place it under the drain; it is located on the left side of the crankcase. Be careful, the old grease will start leaking immediately.

Dripping oil from drain hole

Drain everything to the remainder. Be careful because the hot liquid will flow mercilessly and may cause burns.
Now you need to remove all metal particles from the magnetic inserts. Wipe the drain and inspection hole with a rag.
Clean the threads in the crankcase on the plugs. Tighten the drain plug well. And place the car level on the surface.
Now you can pour new transmission fluid. Remember you need to pour in such a way as not to get out of the o.
Before checking the oil level, you need to wait until it has completely drained inside. If a lot of oil leaks out during checking, then you need to make a short trip so that it spreads evenly and check again.
If the quantity is normal after checking, then reinsert the plug.

This completes the entire replacement process.

What is the best oil to put in a VAZ 2110 box and how to replace it yourself?

Currently, the domestic market offers a huge number of motor oils intended for gearboxes. The driver must be able to choose the right one and know how to pour it into the box himself.

Before visiting an auto store, you should carefully study the manual for the VAZ 2110 vehicle, in which the manufacturer gives recommendations regarding the quality of fluid suitable for filling into the gearbox.

Today, world-famous manufacturers present the following types of gearbox oil to domestic car enthusiasts:

Synthetic;
Mineral;
Semi-synthetic.

Self-replacement

In order to independently change the oil in a VAZ 2110 car, its owner needs to prepare:

a container into which you will need to pour used car oil;

key to 17;

a special syringe designed for filling transmission units (with its help, any liquid can be poured from container to container much faster).

The replacement process should be carried out as follows:

the preheated vehicle must be placed on a lift or overpass;
remove the mudguard installed on the power unit;
using a 17 key, loosen the plug installed on the gearbox drain hole;
Unscrew the plug all the way and drain all the transmission fluid from the car into a special container;
clean the plug from dirt and debris, then put it in place and tighten it;
the drained transmission oil must be cleaned of all mechanical impurities;
flush the gearbox (as recommended by the manufacturer);
wipe the auto fluid level indicator;
pour new car oil into the gearbox housing using a special syringe (How many liters of oil are in a VAZ 2110 gearbox? The answer is 3.3 liters, the volume of oil required in a VAZ 2110 gearbox);
check the fluid level (you can determine how much has been poured in using a special dipstick);
install the engine splash guard in place (as indicated in the car instructions in point No. 5);
test the operation of the vehicle’s engine (as soon as the engine starts working, it will immediately become clear whether the oil filled in the vehicle is suitable).

Manufacturer's choice

To figure out what kind of oil to pour into the VAZ 2110 gearbox, you should know that for such cars it is recommended to use 2 groups:

These designations apply GL-4 to front-wheel drive vehicles. GL-4/5 indicates the versatility of the lubricant. It is used under conditions of increased loads. SAE digital parameters indicate the viscosity of the product.

To make a good choice and understand which oil is best to pour into the VAZ 2110 8-valve engine, you should familiarize yourself with the options for transmission oils that are presented in the table.

Petro-Canada Traxon XL 75W90

Name	Characteristic	Photo
ZIC GF TOR 75W90	This oil ranks 1st among all others. It is inexpensive and can be used in any temperature conditions. In the process of work, he showed his best side
Manufactured by a Canadian manufacturer. It also performs well in frosty weather and can be used at any temperature.
Liqui Moly Hochleistungs-Getriebeoil GL4+(GL-4/GL-5) 75W-90.	Manufacturer Germany. The oil is of high German quality. The disadvantage is the high price of the product

When answering the question: what kind of oil to pour into the VAZ 2110 gearbox, you should remember that you should not skimp. In severe frosts, it is not possible to change gears. Until the box warms up, time will be lost. High-quality lubrication will facilitate smooth movement of the lever.

When to replace?

According to the attached documentation, the oil in the VAZ 2110 gearbox should be changed every 30-35 thousand kilometers. This is due to the deterioration of its quality during operation, which entails the appearance of noise and unpleasant sounds in the gearbox.

Required tools for replacing waste fluid in the box

Set of wrenches;
A flashlight or convenient lamp to illuminate the underside of the car if necessary;
Canister for draining waste;
Gloves;
Capacity, volume 5 liters;
Newspaper or clean rags;
Transmission fluid.

Having prepared the necessary devices, you can proceed directly to the replacement. First of all, due to the location of the hole for draining waste into the gearbox, it is necessary to drive the vehicle onto the overpass. Used lubricant should be drained as carefully and carefully as possible, as it is hot and can cause burns if it comes into contact with the skin.

VAZ 2110 on the “repair” pit

Before you start draining the waste, you need to warm up the car, since cold oil, due to its thick consistency, will not leak out of the box;
Then drive onto an overpass or pit, and leave the car for a while (about 10-15 minutes) for the box to cool slightly;
Using a wrench, you need to unscrew the drain plug and drain the used MTF into a previously placed container;

When the waste is dirty, it contains metal debris, sediment, dust, the gearbox must be washed. To do this, both front wheels are jacked up, and a specially designed flushing fluid is poured into the gearbox housing. After this, engage first gear and leave the vehicle in this state for 2-3 minutes;

Cleaning the VAZ 2110 gearbox

After the specified time has elapsed, the car should be turned off, and, returning it to its original position, drain the flushing fluid according to the method described above;

After washing, you need to wait some time so that all the flushing fluid is drained from the box, only after that a new transmission substance is poured in;

Replacing transmission lubricant in the gearbox

The final stage is to fill in the same amount of transmission oil as was drained. The entire volume of new lubricant must be poured in as carefully and accurately as possible. After the oil is poured, check its level, which should be halfway between the maximum and minimum marks. If you have filled in enough lubricant, you should take a short trip, and then check the fluid level again and top up if necessary. It is important to remember that when carrying out these manipulations, the car must be in an exclusively horizontal position.

Checking the lubricant level

By following all the instructions, even a novice car owner can cope with changing the oil in the gearbox, and correct implementation of all measures will ensure trouble-free operation of the car.

How much and what kind of lubricant should I pour into the gearbox?

Lubricant functions

The VAZ2110 gearbox consists of parts that constantly interact with each other. As a result, they wear out.

To reduce abrasion of elements, transmission oil is filled in, which performs the following functions:

a certain temperature level is constantly maintained in the gearbox;
eliminates the risk of rust formation as a result of metal corrosion;
noise reduction during operation;
vibration decreases;
protection against shock loads is provided;
There is constant washing of working areas due to the washing out of small particles of metal.

It is important to know what kind of oil is poured into the VAZ 2110 gearbox. Each type has its own degree of viscosity. The operating temperature is maintained at 80-120 degrees. In harsh climates, it is difficult to maintain such a temperature with high oil viscosity. This will make the gears difficult to operate.

If failures are observed at the checkpoint, this occurs for the following reasons:

the amount of liquid substance in it has decreased;
low-quality lubricant product.

In the first case, it is necessary to constantly monitor the level, and in the second, follow the passport instructions.

Which oil is better to choose?

The factory instructions allow the use of oils that meet API standards - SG, SH, SJ. Depending on these parameters, the behavior of the oil in winter, at fairly low temperatures, differs. The lower the initial viscosity parameters, the lower the temperature the oil will withstand. For the winter, many owners of VAZ 2110 with an injector fill in standard 75W-90 oil.

Oils recommended by the car manufacturer include:

Valvoline Durablend 75W-90;
BP Energear HT 75W-90;
TNK Trans KP 75W-90;
Lukoil TM 4–12 80W-85;
Lada Trans KP 80W-85.

All the oils listed above comply with the API GL4 standard. Currently, the most commonly used brands are Lukoil, ZIC, Mannol. The final choice of oil type remains with the car owner. Many reviews give preference to ZIC G-FF 75W-85 oil.

The manufacturer does not have any special requirements for the use of oil with GL4 or GL5 standards. The oil should not have a class lower than GL4, and the use of more expensive GL5 oil is possible and depends on the desire of the car owner. There are a number of opinions that GL5 oils contribute to more intensive wear of synchronizers.

Level control and required volume

While operating the vehicle, it is necessary to regularly check the oil level in the gearbox. According to the factory instructions, control is carried out once every 15 thousand kilometers, but in practice it is advisable to carry out this operation 2-3 times more often.

To check the level, you need to remove the dipstick located on the top of the box housing next to the thermostat housing. There are two notches on the probe rod indicating the lower and upper limit levels. In a working box, the oil level should be slightly below the maximum level. If the level is insufficient, the oil must be added. To do this, fill in liquid from the same manufacturer and with the same parameters as before. If this information is unknown, then the oil must be changed.

The video from the author of AVTOSERVISE SERGO clearly demonstrates topping up and checking the oil level.

When changing the lubricant, you need to know how much oil is in the VAZ 2110 box. According to factory standards, there are 3.5 liters of oil in the box. The oil volume does not depend on the number of valves on the engine, since the crankcase is the same. Therefore, to replace it, you need to buy a container with the same amount of new oil.

Sometimes, when filling, a little more than 3.5 liters enters the crankcase, but the level does not exceed the maximum permissible value. There is no need to pour more than 3.6 liters of oil into the box, as this causes increased resistance to gear rotation and increases fuel consumption. The second side effect of oil overflow can be squeezing out the wheel drive seals. It is better to pump out excess oil through the dipstick hole using a large-volume medical syringe equipped with a long tube.

Determining the volume: how much is needed?

Now let's figure out how much oil to pour into the VAZ-2112 gearbox. When determining the required volume of transmission fluid for orientation, you can start from the factory indicators. The volume of the gearbox allows for the filling of three and a half liters of transmission fluid. This figure is relevant for both manual transmission and automatic transmission.

It is this figure that is measured on the dipstick, which every VAZ-2112 owner should have. But there is an opinion that better lubrication can be achieved by exceeding this figure. That is, you need to overflow the MAX mark of the dipstick by a few mm.

Recommended excess standards are set at approximately 2.5 - 3 mm. from the maximum value. The oil level will then be slightly higher and this will give the screws and bolts some extra lubrication. This trick makes the box more sensitive and makes its operation softer. Whether this method suits you, or whether you would prefer to stay at the recommended factory mark - decide for yourself.

DIY oil change instructions

The oil change procedure is very simple and does not require special knowledge or tools. Any car owner can do it with his own hands. Before starting work, it is necessary to warm up the car and gearbox by driving at least 15–20 km.

Required Tools

After warming up the box, you will need to prepare tools and consumables:

an empty container with a capacity of at least 4 liters for draining used oil;
key of any type with a size of 17 mm;
rags;
a funnel with a hose with a diameter of no more than 10-12 mm;
canister with fresh oil.

Algorithm of actions

The procedure for changing the oil is as follows:

Place the car on a horizontal pit or overpass.
Remove the dipstick from the gearbox housing.
If the engine and gearbox protection is installed below, it must be removed.
Wipe the lower part of the crankcase with a rag and use a 17 mm wrench to unscrew the drain plug.
Place the container and drain the oil. Complete draining of the oil takes at least 15 minutes.
Wipe the plug and threads with a clean rag.
Screw the plug in by hand and tighten it with a wrench.
Install a hose with a funnel into the dipstick hole and fill in approximately 3.3 liters of fresh oil.
Wait a few minutes for the oil to drain into the crankcase and check the level.
If necessary, add oil or pump out excess.
After 200-300 km, re-check the level and make sure there are no oil leaks through the drain plug or box seals.

Required volume of oil in the VAZ 2110-2112 engine

So, since the days of the old carburetor engines from 2108, nothing has changed fundamentally, and therefore the filling volumes in the engine remained the same. Even if we take into account the 16-valve modifications of the VAZ 21124 engines, the cylinder block is essentially the same, the pan is the same size, which means the engine oil level remains the same 3.5 liters.

It is noteworthy that 8-valve engines are no different. But still, when replacing, you should pay attention to the MAX and MIN marks on the dipstick. Since first of all you need to pour a little oil into the oil filter, say 300 ml, then 3.2 liters remain in the filler neck.

But if you take into account the fact that it is impossible to drain all the oil when changing, then it is better to use the dipstick so that the level is between the MIN and MAX marks.

How to change the oil in a box - simple instructions

To change the oil in the box you will need:

key to 17;
syringe for filling transmission units;
container for draining oil.

It is recommended to change the oil in the gearbox of VAZ 2110-2112 cars every 75,000 kilometers.

All work will take about 45 minutes. It is better to change the oil after any trip while the oil is warm.

We drive the car into a viewing hole or overpass; you can also use a jack;
Remove the engine splash guard;
Using a 17 wrench, loosen the drain plug in the box;

We place a container under the gearbox to drain the oil and unscrew the plug completely and drain the oil;

We wait until all the oil has drained and then, having cleared the plug of dirt and metal particles, screw it into place;

If the drained oil is heavily contaminated and contains mechanical impurities, it should be washed. This is done as follows:

pour 1.3 liters of flushing oil into the crankcase and screw the oil filler plug into place;

lift the 2 front wheels, engage first gear and let the engine run for 2-3 minutes;

after this, drain the flushing oil;

wipe the oil filler plug and screw it into place.

The box is now washed.

Take out the oil level indicator and wipe it with a clean cloth;

Fill the gearbox housing with new oil using a special syringe. This will require 3.3 liters of oil.

The oil level in the box should be between the min and max control marks on the dipstick.

Insert the oil level into the oil filler hole

We install the engine splash guard in place.

Transmission oil resource

Motul gear oil - service life according to the manufacturer is at least 70,000 km

Depending on the manufacturer and composition of the gear oil, it may have a different service life.

So, how can you determine which oil belongs to which type? Of course, an important indicator is the price, which will be higher for high-quality lubricating fluids. But, as practice shows, this is not an indicator.

The service life of the oil in the gearbox also depends on the condition of the unit itself. This is due to the fact that the production of some elements can be quite high, and metal shavings will fall into the lubricating fluid, settling there forever. Therefore, in each specific case, the oil life in the gearbox will be different, with the same oil filled.

When to change the oil in the transmission of older generation cars

For older generation VAZ-2114 cars, the standard for using transmission oil in the gearbox is 60 thousand km, after which it must be replaced without fail. But it is worth taking into account the opinion of oil manufacturers.

Thus, the Castrol company guarantees that the fluid they produce can serve effectively in a gearbox for up to 100,000 km.

When to change the gearbox oil of new generation cars

For cars of the new generation VAZ-2114 model, or rather those produced since January 1, 2015, the established norm for using transmission oil is 100 km. mileage In this case, if we count by proportion, the Castrol gearbox lubricant should last up to 150,000 km.

Properties of oils

Viscosity of different types of oil

A separate point worth considering is the properties of gearbox oils. This will make it possible to understand the resource of use, as well as the timing of replacement. Of course, a lot depends on the region and operating conditions, but let’s look at the average:

Chemical properties. As you know, any friction leads to heating, and in a car’s gearbox, the temperature rises during operation. In this case, transmission oil serves as a conductor of heat, which is released. Constant temperature changes significantly affect the chemical composition. So, when using its resource, the oil is no longer able to remove heat effectively enough, and also loses its lubricating properties, which are necessary for the normal functioning of the gearbox. As a result, increased production begins on the internal elements, as well as overheating that occurs, leading to the destruction of metal parts.
Physical properties. This category includes mechanical waste, or rather metal shavings, which are formed due to the loss of oil’s chemical properties. Since the catalyst can no longer remove all the heat, and the excess metal in the liquid is large, this leads to heating of the oil, which is no longer able to remove it to the body. In this case, there are consequences in the form of breakdowns and wear of parts.

It is worth noting that the loss of properties, as has already become clear, leads to increased wear, so it is worth changing the oil in the gearbox on time, and not wait until the time comes for a major overhaul, which will obviously cost more than in-line maintenance.

How much oil is in the gearbox of a VAZ-2110

Owners of the popular VAZ-2110 sedan are well aware of the advantages and disadvantages of their car, and are convinced of its high reliability, even despite the unpredictable number of breakdowns. And yet, throughout the entire operation, owners will sooner or later have questions regarding maintenance. This is not surprising, because the VAZ-2110 is now being bought with the aim of repairing it in the future on its own, and not at an expensive dealership. One of the most common maintenance procedures is replacing consumables.

So, in this article we will look in detail at what the owner of a VAZ-2110 will have to face, especially with gearbox oil. Let us pay attention to which oil to choose based on the optimal parameters and the best manufacturers, as well as how much oil is needed for the VAZ-2110 gearbox.

Replacement Regulations

Gear oil is a consumable material that has a certain service life. The period of action of the beneficial properties of this liquid depends on operating conditions - climatic factors, road conditions, driving style, as well as the oil itself. The product must have compatible properties and be designed to withstand harsh weather conditions. Thanks to this, even under the influence of negative factors, high-quality oil will last as long as possible, according to official regulations.

The fluid replacement schedule for the VAZ-2110 is 80 thousand kilometers, and initially we must proceed from this period. It is recommended to check the condition of the fluid at least once a week, since it cannot be ruled out that the frequency of replacement will have to be reduced. If traffic rules are not observed, or frequent driving in dusty and off-road areas, all of the above requirements are more than relevant. In such a situation, the replacement schedule will have to be reduced by one and a half times, to 60 thousand kilometers.

Checking the oil level and changing the oil

The oil in the VAZ-2110 gearbox is checked using a dipstick, which has Max and Min marks. If the oil print is between these marks, then the level is considered optimal. Oil will have to be added if it does not exceed the Min level. It is possible that with a high mileage, adding oil alone will not be enough, and you will have to perform a complete fluid change. Several signs indicate that the oil has become unusable:

The oil has become cloudy and darkened
The oil contains sediment, including metal particles - traces of mechanical wear
The oil gives off an unpleasant odor

These signs are enough to begin the oil change procedure.

How much to fill

It would be logical to determine the volume of oil before pouring it into the gearbox. According to official data from AvtoVAZ, the volume is 3.5 liters including the oil filter. Please note that the specified volume of fluid is added only after the gearbox has been completely flushed of old oil, various dirt deposits, including metal shavings. In the case of the VAZ-2110, this procedure can be performed in a garage. To do this, you will need a special flushing compound, which is introduced into the gearbox after draining the old oil. The fluid is circulated throughout the transmission system when the engine is turned on. Then the flush is drained and new fluid is added. You need to pour oil until it begins to seep out of the filler hole. After making sure that the level is sufficient using a dipstick, close the hole tightly.

How to choose oil

Transmission oil for the VAZ-2110 is selected based on tolerance parameters, viscosity, degree of quality, and the choice of a suitable brand is the last thing to pay attention to. So, the recommended viscosity characteristics of the oil for the VAZ-2110 are designated as SAE 80W-85 or SAE 75W-90. The oil quality level according to the API standard must be at least GL-4.

As for the manufacturer, any brand with a good reputation is suitable for the VAZ-2110. So, among such companies we can highlight Mobile, Lukoil, Castrol, Rosneft, Kixx, Valvoline and others.

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 enter into chemical reactions with metal surfaces. Synthetics have good astringent stability at various temperatures.

The production technology of semi-synthetic oil requires the presence of a mineral oil in its base. However, improvements in performance and physical properties occur through the addition of innovative additives. A variety of chemical additives help smooth out some of the shortcomings of the mineral base.

Mineral water attracts car enthusiasts with its 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 completely acceptable “golden mean” in the ratio of costs and results obtained.

Each type of lubricant has its advantages and disadvantages. It is important to remember that no matter what substance is poured, you should not mix synthetics with mineral water. It will not be possible to obtain semi-synthetics using this artisanal method. Although such recommendations often appear from practicing drivers.

Changing the oil in a VAZ 2110 gearbox: how much lubricant to pour into the gearbox

Changing the oil in a “Tens” gearbox (gearbox) is a simple and inexpensive procedure, the regularity of which directly determines the durability of the gearbox. Owners of VAZ 2110 cars need to have information about how much oil is in the VAZ 2110 box, how to check the level and how often to replace it.

According to the factory instructions, the service life of the oil in the VAZ 2110 gearbox is 75 thousand km. As practice shows, if a car is used in conditions of sudden temperature changes and in city traffic jams, then the frequency of oil changes should be reduced to 35-40 thousand km.

In addition to the scheduled oil change, there may be situations when the fluid should be changed immediately. A signal for an urgent oil change is the presence of metal dust or particles in the oil on the dipstick rod or noticeable thickening of the oil, not associated with its low temperature.

Which oil is better to choose?

About types of transmission oils

For VAZ 2109 vehicles, it is recommended to use the following types of gear oils:

API GL-4
SAE

Let's talk about each of these types in more detail.

API GL-4

These gear oils are suitable for use in a variety of conditions from light to heavy and are used in synchronized gearboxes.

SAE

The most popular classification of transmission oils. The following types are suitable for the VAZ 2109 box:

Mineral 85W This type of oil is perfect for gearboxes with high mileage. It has good lubricating properties in hot weather due to its good viscosity and thickens at low temperatures.

Semi-synthetic 75W Lubricating properties at a high level. In warm climates it remains quite viscous. In winter it warms up quickly. Reduces noise during gearbox operation

Synthetics 75W In summer, due to high temperatures, it becomes liquid

Particular attention should be paid to the gearbox seals; oil leaks are likely; it does not thicken in the cold.

How to choose the right oil for a VAZ 2110 gearbox: volume, selection and replacement

All about the oil in the box of a VAZ 2110 car

Content:

Oil and its timely replacement play a huge role in the quality of your gearbox. Careful attention to your machine and its components will lead to a long service life and rare visits to the service center.

The oil in the VAZ 2110 gearbox needs to be changed every 35,000 km. How much oil should I put in the box of a VAZ 2110? You need to select the required capacity in the gearbox and fill it in such a way that the transmission fluid maintains the required level, that is, it does not exceed o and does not underestimate o. Replacement is necessary if:

lubrication below o;
you notice silvery dust in the liquid;
you found metal particles;
the color of the oil has become completely black or brown;
there was an unpleasant smell.

What oil is needed and in what quantity

The first thing you need to pay attention to when choosing a transmission fluid is its viscosity (measured in SAE), seasonality (there are oils more suitable for summer, winter or all-season) and composition (there are synthetic, semi-synthetic and mineral). The manufacturer of the VAZ 2110 recommends pouring API, SG, SH, SJ (quality level) lubricant into the gearbox. Viscosity is selected based on the ambient temperature; the lower the viscosity level, the greater the cold the lubricant will withstand, and vice versa. How much will need to be filled? You will need to use 3.5 liters of oil.

Selecting oil is a responsible matter

VAZ 2110 how to check the oil in the gearbox

In addition to doing the work of adding oil to the transmission, you need to know how to select it. There are many different brands and models of oil on the market. An experienced motorist will find this task very easy, but a beginner will have to do a fair bit of shopping.

Note. In order to at least somehow facilitate this choice, you need to choose the optimal brand of oil or liquid.

VAZ 2110 what oil to pour into the box

It should be noted that oil is used for manual transmissions, and transmission fluid is used for cars with automatic transmissions. If it is not possible to spend time choosing an oil, it is better to entrust this work to professionals who have been carrying out similar work for a long time. These are workers at the technological service station. They will not only help you choose the brand of oil, but also replace it if necessary. One of the options for choosing gearbox oil is to study the vehicle maintenance and operation manual. In most cases, it comes to the user along with the car. All that remains is to look for the required item, find out the brand of oil and go to the nearest store to purchase it.

Note: Some automatic transmission vehicles may use oil instead of transmission fluid. This point should be carefully considered.

Reasons for using oil in a box

The amount of oil in the box of a VAZ 2110

Reasons to use oil should be considered:

The gearbox contains a large number of different mechanisms that constantly create friction with each other. In order for their operation to remain constant and the parts to wear out less, the oil level in the gearbox should be constantly maintained (insufficient oil in the VAZ 2110 gearbox will lead to failures).
The mechanical load with the use of oil is significantly reduced.
Oil has the ability to remove residual corrosion and rust. It helps reduce the temperature of parts during operation of the mechanisms.

Main types of oils

Not many indicators differ between motor oil and the one used for the gearbox. There are three main types of this liquid:

Synthetic oil (the best oil for VAZ 2110 boxes).
Semi-synthetic oil.
Mineral oil.

When your vehicle is subjected to constant extreme use, synthetic transmission oil is the best option. The only drawback of this product is that its cost is sometimes too high. When there is a desire to save money, but at the same time not harm the car, or rather its spare parts in the gearbox, you can use semi-synthetic oil.

Note: under no circumstances should you mix two types of oils - synthetic and mineral. This operation is prohibited. In addition, oils poured into the VAZ 2110 box must comply with the manufacturer’s recommendations.

One of the main parameters of gearbox oil is its viscosity. According to this parameter, oils are divided into several classes. The degree of compliance with the operating parameters of the car is also important. Just as types of oil are divided into three varieties, there are also three main classes of lubricant according to viscosity parameter:

All-season oil for the VAZ 2110 gearbox.
Summer oil.
Winter oil for the box of the VAZ 2110.

All-season VAZ 2110 gearbox oil can be used in any season of the year. It is of particular importance when the climate in the country remains virtually unchanged throughout the year and there are no sharp temperature changes throughout the year. Such oils have an index:

Summer oils should naturally be used in the summer. They are designed for those countries where summer temperatures differ significantly from winter temperatures. These gearbox oils have the following indexes:

Winter oils are used exclusively during the winter season. They have the following indices on the packaging:

Note: the higher the number, the thicker the gearbox oil.

In addition to the viscosity and composition of gear oils, you should understand the fluid's suitability for operating conditions (APL). There are only seven groups of them. The most common groups remain:

A group of gearbox oils that belong to the GL-4 group are intended for use in vehicles that have a normal load level. Oil of the GL-5 group is used in those vehicles that are subject to constant use and operate in special, unfavorable conditions.
