The Lada Priora is a truly legendary car, which gained its fame and distribution due to the fact that it was able to fall in love with the younger generation of car enthusiasts. Today there is no student who would not dream of purchasing this car!
First of all, this car was created for young people, who could easily modernize the stock equipment of the car. Secondly, the designers of the VAZ automobile concern wanted to design a car that would be unpretentious in terms of consumables. And with its maintenance it would not create any difficulties for the car owner.
As practice has shown, the machine turned out to be not only easy to technically operate, but also quite unpretentious in terms of consumables. And why be modest, the Lada Priora model has become widespread among young people not only due to its efficiency, but also its driving performance.
Surely today there is no car owner of this car model who would not have carried out any technical modifications or manipulations with this car.
All this became possible due to the fact that the designers did quite a lot of work when creating this model.
Thanks to this work, replacing the oil filter on this car is a fairly easy task.
The standard oil filter in the Priora model is located in the engine compartment, at the bottom of the engine. It belongs to the category of the most important technical components of the power plant. In this car model, it performs the function of cleaning the lubricant of the oil system from solid fractional contaminants, as well as oil waste products and water impurities.
The oil filter in the engine oil system of a Lada Priora is responsible not only for cleaning the engine, but also for the correct operation of the engine installed in this car. Thus, the service life of the engine directly depends on the oil filter. After all, how well the oil filter performs its function determines how well and how long the engine itself will work in a given car.
Changing the engine oil and replacing the oil filter on a Lada Priora VAZ 2170
According to the manufacturer's recommendation, the engine oil and oil filter should be replaced after 15 thousand kilometers or 1 year of operation (whichever comes first).
The volume of oil poured into the engine is 3.5 liters. USEFUL ADVICE In difficult operating conditions in a large city or heavily dusty area, change the oil and filter every 10 thousand km.
You will need: engine oil, an oil filter, a clean rag, a container for drained oil with a capacity of about 5 liters, a “17” wrench, a special wrench for unscrewing the oil filter.
USEFUL TIPS Drain the oil after a trip while the engine is still warm. If the engine is cold, start and warm it up to operating temperature. Fill with oil of the same brand as the oil that was in the engine. If you do decide to change the brand of oil, flush the lubrication system with flushing oil or oil of the brand that will be used. To do this, after draining the old oil, fill in new oil to the bottom mark on the oil level indicator (dipstick). Start the engine and let it idle for 10 minutes. Drain the oil and only then replace the oil filter. Now you can fill the engine with new oil to the required level (top mark on the dipstick).
WARNING Do not dump used oil on the ground.
1. Place the Lada Priora VAZ 2170 car on an inspection ditch or lift.
2. Open the hood and remove the oil filler plug. Remove the engine splash guard (see “Removing and installing the engine splash guard”).3. Clean the oil drain plug on the engine oil sump with a wire brush and then with a rag. Loosen the oil drain plug.4. Finally unscrew the oil drain plug, first placing a container for drained oil, and drain the oil from the engine. For convenience, you can use a funnel or neck cut from a plastic bottle.
WARNING Be careful: the drained engine oil is hot.
5. Close the oil drain plug.
6. Use a special wrench to move the oil filter and remove it.
USEFUL TIPS Use a special wrench to unscrew the oil filter. If there is no such key or similar remover, pierce the filter housing with a screwdriver and, using it as a lever, unscrew the filter. Punch the filter as close to the bottom as possible to avoid damaging the fitting. You can also use a folded strip of coarse sandpaper, wrap it around the filter and push it out of place with your hands.
7. Fill the new filter approximately 2/3 full with clean engine oil.
NOTE Filling oil into the filter is required so that when the engine is first started after changing the oil, the oil channels are filled faster, and the valve drive parts work in conditions of oil starvation for the shortest possible time.
8. . and lubricate the O-ring with clean engine oil if it is not treated with grease or talcum powder by the manufacturer. 9. Screw the oil filter into place by hand 3/4 of a turn from the moment the ring and the cylinder block flange come into contact.10. Unscrew the oil filler plug and fill in clean oil (see “Checking the level and adding oil to the engine lubrication system”). Reinstall the oil filler plug. 11. Start the engine of the Lada Priora VAZ 2170 car and let it idle for several minutes (the warning light for emergency oil pressure drop should go out 2-3 seconds after starting the engine).12. While the engine is running, check to see if oil is leaking from under the drain plug. 13. . and oil filter. Stop the engine, check the oil level, if necessary, bring it up to normal (see “Checking the level and adding oil to the engine lubrication system”), tighten the drain plug and filter. 14. Install the engine splash guard.
useful tips for motorists
Sequencing
If you are the owner of a Priora car, the engine oil, according to the manufacturer’s recommendations, will have to be changed after the car has traveled about 15 thousand km. However, it should be borne in mind that this parameter is greatly overestimated, and it should be adhered to only if the machine is operated in almost ideal conditions. However, if the car regularly has to drive on the highway, or regularly sit idle in traffic jams in the city, the frequency of replacing consumables is reduced by half. Any aggressive conditions will force the motorist to change the oil and oil filter prematurely so as not to harm the Lada Priora power unit. If the frequency of oil changes is familiar to the motorist, he should periodically check the fluid level. In the domestic Priora, this figure should vary between 3.5 - 3.7 liters.
To begin replacing consumables, the motorist will need the necessary tools. In particular, you should purchase a special key in advance (it will make it easier to unscrew the oil filter), a key with “17” and a container for draining used oil. An empty canister should have a volume of about 5 liters, which will simplify the task of containing waste. In addition to all of the above, dry rags and new consumables will be useful in the process. The motorist must buy new oil and filter in advance.
Do-it-yourself oil change in the Lada Priora engine
Just recently we talked about how to change the oil in a Lada Kalina engine with your own hands, so I won’t go into detail about why this is done and what will happen if you don’t change the oil on time. I suggest immediately, as they say, from words to actions. The topic of my article today is changing the oil in the Lada Priora engine; in addition, the oil filter will be replaced.
The manufacturer recommends changing the engine oil every 10-15 thousand kilometers, however, if the car is used intensively, or operating conditions can be characterized as severe, then it is recommended to change the engine oil more often. On average, approximately 3.5-3.7 liters are poured into the engine.
To change the oil in the Lada Priora engine and also change the oil filter you need to have:
- Key to "17";
- Container for used oil approximately 5 liters;
- A rag or piece of clean cloth;
- Oil filter;
- And, of course, the engine oil itself;
- Special wrench for unscrewing the oil filter (preferred).
Which oil to choose and what volume to fill
Motor oil should be selected based on the vehicle's operating conditions, age and mileage. Over the years, Lada Priora was produced with different engines:
- since 2007 they installed 126 engine 1.6 liter, 16 liter, 106 hp.
- since 2011 they have installed 116 1.6 liter, 16 liter, 98 hp.
- since 2013 they have installed 127 1.6 liter, 16 liter, 106 hp.
Suitable oils for these engines have the following viscosities:
5W-30, operating temperature from minus 25-30°С to plus 20-25°С
5W-40, operating temperature from minus 25-30°С to plus 35-40°С
10W-40, operating temperature from minus 20-25°С to plus 35-40°С
15W-40, operating temperature from minus 10-15°C to plus 35-40°C
It is not necessary to purchase expensive oil; you can buy both oil from domestic manufacturers, recommended by AvtoVAZ, and imported oils.
Step-by-step instructions for changing the oil in a Lada Priora engine with your own hands
Attention! This work is carried out on a lift or inspection pit.
1. As in any car, before changing the oil, the engine must be warmed up to operating temperature; to do this, it is enough to let it idle for about 10 minutes.
2. Place an empty waste oil container under the drain hole located on the pan.
3. Using a key set to “17”, unscrew the drain plug of the engine sump, then carefully drain the oil, be careful it may be hot.
4. When the oil has completely drained, tighten the plug and begin replacing the oil filter.
5. To replace the Lada Priora oil filter, you need to unscrew it. For this it is better to use a special key. If you don’t have one, you can try with your hands; if the filter doesn’t work, there are two options for resolving the issue: buy a special key or use the “old-fashioned method.” The latter involves piercing the oil filter housing with a screwdriver, after which the screwdriver serves as a lever with which you can actually unscrew the filter.
6. Take the new Lada Priora oil filter and prepare for installation. To do this, fill the new filter about halfway with oil and lubricate the rubber gasket. Oil is poured into the filter in order to prevent oil starvation, that is, in other words, so that the engine does not run “dry” until the filter is filled with oil.
7. Next, install the new oil filter and tighten it by hand, not very tightly.
8. Now you need to change the engine oil; to do this, unscrew the filler neck, which is located under the hood (see photo). Fill in about 3.5 liters of oil, then check the oil level using the dipstick, it should be between o and “max”. Tighten the oil filler plug.
9. Start the engine and let it idle for about 5-10 minutes. Keep an eye on the oil pressure light; it should stop lighting 2-3 seconds after starting the engine.
10. While the engine is running, carefully inspect all the places you worked on, make sure there are no leaks in the area of the oil filter, as well as the drain hole in the pan.
11. Stop the engine, let the oil drain and check the oil level again, its level should be as described above, if necessary, add oil to the engine.
Congratulations, changing the oil and oil filter of the Lada Priora is completed! If you liked the article, comment and share it with your friends on social media. networks and add to bookmarks, we will be very grateful.
Filter manufacturers
Owners of the Lada Priora, and other models of the domestic manufacturer from Togliatti, often wonder which oil filter is best to install on their car? First of all, the product must be of high quality, and therefore original. However, many do not know how to protect themselves from counterfeiting. The following simple tips will help with this:
- Particular attention should be paid to the housing of the filter element. Its strength should not be in doubt, as should the quality of the applied image or hologram;
- the product must be certified for compliance with international GOSTs, and confirmation of this can be safely requested from the seller;
- a brand of a trusted manufacturer who always cares about its reputation.
Most domestic Lada Priora owners choose products from the MANN or Bosch brands. They have proven themselves well in different parts of the world and on different brands of vehicles.
As for the accompanying lubricant change, experts recommend focusing on inexpensive semi-synthetic oils that are perfectly suited to the characteristics of the engine. In particular, you can purchase products from the domestic manufacturer Lukoil. The main thing is to make sure that its viscosity matches the region where a particular Priora is operated.
As for the engine, this car has 5 main modifications produced by the plant. The engines have a volume ranging from 1,600 to 1,800 cc. cm. To replace the lubricant, you will need approximately 3.5 liters, that is, you need to buy a 4-liter canister.
Changing the oil and oil filter on a Lada Priora (VAZ 2170)
This article will discuss changing the oil and oil filter on 8 and 16 valve Lada Priora engines. Note that the oil is changed in the same way on cars of the Samara, Kalina and Grant families.
The oil is changed every 10-15 thousand kilometers or every year, whichever comes first.
To replace, we will need - from the main tool:
- Key “17” (preferably head “17”)
- Empty canister (can be replaced with a five-liter bottle)
- Work clothes
- Knife
- Work gloves
From the additional tool:
- It is better to have a universal puller for oil filters. As an alternative to a puller, all you need is a long screwdriver and a hammer
- If your garage floors are concrete or steel, it is advisable to have a sheet of plywood for underlayment.
- Wire brush
- Rags
- Oil 4 liters
- Oil filter
- Flushing oil
To change from one type of oil to another (from mineral to synthetic, etc.), it is better to use flushing oil. It cleans the engine well, but does not completely drain when changing. And part of the flushing remains in the new oil.
To switch between different brands, but one type (semi-synthetic, etc.) or with very dirty oil (it hasn’t been changed for a long time), it is better to use the “five-minute” option. It is poured into old oil, after which the engine is started for 5 minutes (according to the instructions on the package).
If the oil is changed regularly every 10-15 thousand kilometers to the same make and model, then flushing is not necessary. You just need to warm up the engine.
A change in a garage WITHOUT a pit and a lift will be demonstrated.
1. Using a knife, cut out the side surface of the canister and make a “bath”, as shown in the figure.
2. We jack up the left side of the car so that we can “crawl” under the car. We substitute any block or stand. We lower the car onto the stand. NEVER work under a vehicle that is only supported by a jack.
3. If the floors are cold, place a sheet of plywood/wood under the car.
4. If we use flushing oil or a five-minute flush, follow the instructions on the package.
When changing the oil without flushing agents, start the engine and wait for the cooling fan to operate (about 90 degrees Celsius). Then we turn off the engine.
5. We put on gloves. We move under the car, taking with us the canister and the “17” key. If the car has a crankcase protection, there should be a cutout under the oil plug.
If the cork is heavily soiled, first remove the dirt with a wire brush and wipe with a rag. Unscrew the drain plug. It is recommended to make only a few turns with the key. The plug has a conical thread and should be freely unscrewed by hand. Before final unscrewing, we place the “bath” under the plug. CAREFULLY. The oil is hot. Make sure you can quickly remove your hand with the plug. Drain time is 5-10 minutes. Then we wrap the cork.
6. If flushing oil is used, then fill it in and repeat the heating/draining procedure (check according to the instructions).
7. Place a rag under the filter to avoid staining the garage floors with oil. It is located on the rear side of the engine, to the left of the exhaust manifold.
If you cannot unscrew the filter by hand, use a puller. If there is no puller, we punch it through with a screwdriver. It is more convenient to punch while being on top of the car and slightly to the left of the middle of the filter, so as not to get into the thread. Using a screwdriver as a lever, unscrew it.
8. Fill the new filter halfway with oil. BE SURE to lubricate the rubber seal with oil. We wrap the filter by hand until it touches the engine. Then turn it 3/4 of a turn.
9. Open the oil plug on engine 2111 (8 valves):
On engine 2112 (16 valves):
10. Fill with oil. To control, we use the oil level indicator (“dipstick”) on the 2111 engine:
On engine 2112:
It is better to fill close to the “MIN” level, since the car is not in a horizontal position (about 3.5 liters fit into the engine).
11. Start the engine and wait until the oil warning light on the instrument panel goes out. We make sure that there is no leakage from under the plug or filter. We turn off the engine.
12. Remove the car from the stand.
13. Check the oil level. If necessary, bring to o.

When I don't have a hole, I do it a little differently: 1. While the car is on four wheels, loosen the oil filter. If it does not unscrew, screw the belt on by hand. 2.Remove the RIGHT wheel. The drain plug is in front of us. After the plug is unscrewed, release the jack a little so that the right side is slightly lower than the left. Additionally, 100-150g of oil is poured.
Life hack: Priora oil filter
The oil filter of a Priora car is responsible for cleaning the oil from impurities and metal particles. There are many filter manufacturers on Priora: Mann, Livny, Big, Salute and others. The price of an oil filter starts from 200 rubles - read the article to the end: you will find out popular filters, which one is better and the article numbers (original number) for them. All the oil in the engine flows through the oil filter. Therefore, it is the most important element of the filtration system. It is located in the lower engine compartment. The degree of oil purification affects the operation of the engine compartment. The cleaning system element does not depend on the engine type (16 or 8 valves); the standard configuration may have several variations.
Changing the oil on a Priora
The engine is what keeps the car running. You need to constantly monitor his condition. Particular attention should be paid to the oil level. The general condition of the Priora car depends on its quality. But does everyone know which product is best to use? How much should it cost, and does it even matter?
Manufacturers insist that oil changes should occur every 15,000 kilometers. Using a 16 cl engine in extreme conditions reduces this period by half.
When to change?
According to the oil change schedule for the Priora engine, 8 valves and 16 valves are changed every year. This is due not only to the service life, but also to the change of seasons with temperature changes, which negatively affect the condition of the lubricating fluid.
However, during the maintenance process, pay attention to signs of the need for replacement . These include the external condition of the lubricating fluid, which is assessed through regular preventive checks of the oil.
Prevention usually comes down to two actions: measuring the lubricant level in the engine and assessing its condition. The measurement is carried out using a dipstick; in a heated and normal state, the liquid should not go beyond the permissible limits.
In terms of external characteristics, they include a change in color, a decrease in density, the appearance of a burning smell, impurities and sediment. All this indicates loss of lubricating properties and expired oil life. If it was poured recently, the manifestation of such signs indicates the low quality of the product.
Separately, signs of malfunctions in engine operation are identified. Frequent failures, distortions, extraneous noises - all this may indicate a lack of lubrication. It is not recommended to wait for such factors to manifest themselves - troubleshooting requires not only replacing the lubricant, but also a full diagnosis from specialists.
Lubricant selection
Lada is a popular domestic car. Appearance, price, quality - attracts buyers. While car dealerships are selling cars, stores are actively selling lubricants.
Which product is better to choose, foreign or domestic, natural or synthetic? Not every owner purchases the right product the first time. You can't do without mistakes. But by listening to the advice of experienced people, many nuances can be avoided.
You need to know how much the machine “eats” it. Lubrication should always be normal. Otherwise, repairs with unplanned expenses cannot be avoided.
You can and should use synthetic oil in your car. Although there is an opinion that oil seals can leak, all synthetics will burn out. It's a delusion. High-quality synthetics behave well even in severe frosts. All lubricants are characterized by a viscosity index. The lower the number next to W, the lower the temperature it will withstand. You can check with the manufacturer of 16 cl Priors which temperature regime of the lubricant is suitable for the car. Moreover, it is imperative to have this information. After all, the climatic conditions in which transport is operated affect its operation.
Instructions for dismantling and replacing parts
To replace it, it is not necessary to contact a car service specialist. You can do the work yourself if you acquire the necessary tools and follow the sequence of activities.
What is required for dismantling and replacement
- wrench or socket size 17;
- workwear;
- container for draining used oil;
- new spare part;
- screwdriver;
- rags;
- hammer;
- lubricant;
- oil.
Replacement process
On average, about 3.7 liters of liquid need to be poured into a Lada Priora car. Necessary tools for work:
- The key is 17.
- A capacity of at least five liters for waste liquid.
- Oil filter.
- New replacement product.
All work is carried out on an overpass or inspection pit. You can learn how to properly check the oil level and replace it by reading the article below:
What kind of scratch remover is this?
We constantly receive questions in the comments about what kind of “liquid glass” products this is, and in general what a bunch of auto-related advertising is now on the market. As a result, we decided to test in practice how true this is. Let's just say we used 3 means. One product proved to be so-so; after application, a burnt spot remained in this place. The second product, when applied, showed no effect at all.
The third product, SILANE GUARD, at first it was also felt that there would be no effect. but nevertheless, after the solution remained on the surface for several minutes, the effect was excellent. Of course, everything is not as beautiful as advertised.
We had a discussion at a local service station, they said that the products are effective, but they should be used only according to the instructions. And not as anyone pleases.
- replacement takes place on a preheated 16 cl engine. It should be in working order for 10-15 minutes;
- a container is placed under the hole on the pallet into which the waste liquid will drain;
- Use a wrench to unscrew the plug and drain the lubricant. This must be done carefully, it may be hot;
This will complete the main work. How much fluid is poured needs to be checked thoroughly again. Normally, on the dipstick it is between the maximum and minimum marks.
Replacing lubricant in Lada Priora
On a 16 cl Lada engine, you can pour lubricant yourself, without going to a car service center. After the work has been done, the car starts and idles for 10-15 minutes. At this time, it is worth keeping an eye on the oil pressure light. After starting the car, it goes out after a few seconds. If this does not happen, then mistakes were made. Try to find out the reason yourself, or contact a service station. Specialists will eliminate all problems.
Why can't I keep the old filter?
A very common question - all because when the engine is running, chips form (banal wear), the oil also burns, becomes dirty, and dust can get inside. All this “stuff” settles on the filter (on its cleaning paper surface). If you want, the filter is the “liver of the motor”. If it were not there, the engine would wear out much faster (scientists calculated up to 5 times).
Over a service life of 10 - 15,000 km, it becomes almost completely clogged, and leaving it to work with new oil is IMPOSSIBLE! It is MANDATORY to install a new filter element. There will simply not be enough oil pressure, and the engine will suffer from oil starvation .
So the air filters are not so critical (although I think they also need to be changed), and they are very easy to unscrew. But it is MANDATORY to change the oil oil.
Common Misconceptions
Before choosing any particular type of product, you need to familiarize yourself with the misconceptions. They are often found among car owners:
- The oil on the 16 cl Priora engine has darkened - the first sign that it should be changed. This is wrong. It may change color due to the fact that the detergent components do not completely dissolve the products due to incomplete combustion of gasoline.
- The lubrication level is easy to determine by eye. Replacement is carried out strictly with recommendations, and not without permission.
- The best products are expensive. Not true. Even expensive components can be harmful.
- You can mix mineral and synthetic oil. This will be reflected first of all on the Priora engine. Only in extreme cases is this allowed. In this case, lubricants must be produced by the same manufacturer.
- The substance is supplemented with additives. You shouldn't do this. Manufacturers select their own compositions. Adding third-party elements will interfere with the full operation of the transport.
You should definitely listen to the advice of manufacturers. Do not pour low-quality products. While the engine is not turned off, inspect all the places you just worked on. Make sure there are no fluid leaks on the 16 cl engine. Turn off the car and allow the remaining solution to drain. Then check the lubricant level again. There should be as much left as was poured. If necessary, you can pour a little more. This will complete the replacement.
Removal using special pullers
Service technicians and experienced garage repairmen use special pullers to remove the filter element. They are available in 3 types:
- chain;
- crab;
- clamping (tape, screw).
Experts prefer chain pullers, which have greater power and reliability and are suitable for any type of filter elements. Therefore, service station technicians usually remove the oil filter with a chain wrench.
Special pullers can be purchased at auto stores. The key is placed on the body of the part being removed and securely fixed. It remains to remember that the dismantled element must be unscrewed counterclockwise. After removing the filter, make sure that the gasket is not stuck to the motor block. If necessary, remove the gasket or its parts with a scraper.
Useful tips
It is often impossible to unscrew the oil filter by hand. Either it is very twisted, or there is not enough space, which causes inconvenience. To help, you can use a special key of the required size.
It is not always at hand, so you can use a folk remedy. Carefully pierce the housing with a screwdriver. The only downside is that the liquid will start to flow and your hands will get very dirty.
After replacing the product 5-6 times, the engine is washed. There are 2 options for this: flushing (five minutes), flushing liquid. No matter how many methods there are for this, each of them is effective. To replace valves, as well as to flush, it is worth monitoring the level of the substance.
Lada car owners spend a lot of time searching for quality products. But it is better to stick to one product, especially if the car worked well on it. It doesn’t matter how much replacement lubricants cost for a 16 cl car. Not always expensive, but quality.
Instructions for replacing engine lubricant
What happens if you don’t change the lubricant in time?
What problems can result from untimely replacement of lubricant:
- The appearance of carbon deposits on the internal walls of the internal combustion engine. Its formation will lead to an increase in fuel consumption by the engine. Some of the oil will go to carbon deposits, so the car owner will have to periodically add fluid to the lubrication system.
- The motor will start to “trouble”. When driving at low speeds, a knocking sound from the hydraulic compensators may be heard; experienced car enthusiasts say that their “fingers are knocking.” If the engine is running rough and a metallic knock is heard from under the hood, you need to check the quality and level of the oil.
- When the lubricant does not change, this leads to a loss of fluid properties. As a result, the level of the substance may decrease due to the fact that part of it goes to soot. As a result, the pressure in the lubrication system will change and the oil seals and seals will be squeezed out.
- Overhaul of the power unit. The saddest consequence of untimely replacement. The internal elements of the engine wear out faster, and as a result, some parts may fail.
Important subtleties
As we said, when changing the oil, always change the filter - this is a very important point and never neglect it. To drain the oil, get a container with low walls into which you pour the old liquid, and also have rags for wiping dirty surfaces.
It is recommended to change the oil after driving or warming up the engine so that it drains better from the engine. Place the car on the handbrake and support it, and then lift the car on the jack. You can also use a pit or lift.
