How much oil to fill in Niva 21214 transmission

Until now, despite the fact that the car is obsolete, the VAZ 21214 is popular due to its budget price, good cross-country ability and the ability to carry out many maintenance and repair operations independently. Like any other iron horse, this car needs to periodically replace technical fluids. The owner should have an idea of ​​what materials are acceptable to use in this SUV and, in particular, what kind of oil can be poured into the 21214 engine.

Changing the oil in the transfer case Niva 21214

The Niva 21214 car is distinguished by its increased cross-country ability on roads.
The car has an engine that has a volume of 1.7 liters, which complies with Euro-4 standards. The transmission system includes a transfer case with a crankcase ventilation system. All components on the VAZ 21214, just like on the VAZ 21213, are distinguished by a long service life. It is important to properly care for the automotive system and select high-quality oil for the Niva

The Niva SUV (VAZ 2121), which has all-wheel drive and is equipped with a manual transmission, is capable of producing 75 horsepower.

Selecting gearbox oil

Which oil to choose? Transmission oils are available in a wide range

You should pay attention to fuel that has the following viscosity: 75W-90, 85W-90. In particular, you can choose gear oil Lukoil 80W90 (GL5 class)

When operating vehicles in winter, you should purchase 70W-90 oil, as it has a low viscosity. Semi-synthetic options are also suitable for refueling Niva 21213. It is better to carry out replacement at a specialized service center.

How much oil to fill? Approximately 0.8 liters of oil must be added to the Niva distributor. 1.6 liters of transmission fluid is poured into its high-speed box.

Before choosing a transmission fluid, you should always carefully study its composition.

The need to change transmission oil

To change the oil on a Niva, the car must be warmed up (to ensure good fluid fluidity). The machine is placed on an inspection hole; a special container should be placed under the drain hole into which the waste liquid will drain. To open the drain and fill plug, you should use a hexagon. Also, as an additional tool, you will need a special syringe, which is used to fill the transfer case with fuel.

Changing the oil in the transfer case (Niva 21214 / 21213). Main stages:

1. The drain plug is unscrewed.
2. The remaining oil is poured into the container.
3. Any contamination on the plug must be eliminated.
4. The drain plug is screwed in.
5. The top plug is unscrewed to fill in new oil using a syringe.
6. The plug is screwed in.

The peculiarity of the gearbox is that it has a built-in magnet. Its function is to attract small metal debris that may be present in the fuel.

When replacing fuel, the crankcase must be flushed. This procedure helps to extend the operational life of the box. Flushing is required if the drained oil is heavily contaminated.

The frequency of changing fuel for the transmission is affected by the mileage of the Niva 21214 (21213) and the conditions under which it is used. When making frequent off-road trips, the need to change the oil for the transfer case and gearbox may arise up to 50,000 km.

The need to add a new lubricant to the box can be indicated by the fact that the gearbox began to overheat and characteristic noises appeared on its side during movement.

Which transmission oil for a Chevrolet Niva should you choose?

Changing the oil in the variator
The Chevrolet Niva is an all-wheel drive vehicle. Properly selected oil for the transfer case, as well as all axles of an SUV, guarantees long-term operation of all vehicle transmission mechanisms. Oil helps reduce friction, which means the period of wear of parts increases significantly. The table below shows the characteristics of filling fluids for the Chevrolet Niva, taken from the official operating instructions for the car.

When choosing transmission oil for a Chevrolet Niva SUV, you should follow the recommendations of the vehicle manufacturer. It is better to purchase gear oil in special auto stores. It is best to give preference to proven, well-known brands

It is important to pay attention when buying oil for what period of the year it is intended. Oils are available for summer, winter, and all seasonal

Worth remembering! If the vehicle was purchased with mileage, then it is necessary to check the oil level. It would also be a good idea to change all the oils.

Frequency of replacement of operating fluids and lubricants

Changing the oil in a mechanic's box - what you need to know

Engine oil

must be replaced every 10,000 km. For a new car, it is necessary to change the oil after the break-in period (after 2500 km). When changing the oil, you must install a new oil filter (ZMZ-4062 engine) or its filter element (all engines). For the oil change procedure, see subsections 2.3.2, 2.3.2.2 and 2.3.3.3.

Into the engine crankcase

It is recommended to fill in the same brand of oil as was in the engine. If you fill in oil of a different brand, you must first flush the engine lubrication system with oil of the same brand that will be poured into the engine. To do this, drain the old oil and fill in new oil 2–4 mm above the “0” mark on the oil level indicator (dipstick). Start the engine and let it idle for about 10 minutes. Then drain the oil, replace the oil filter or its filter element and add fresh oil.

Coolant

must be changed once every 2 years or after 60,000 km (whichever comes first). For the procedure for replacing the coolant, see subsection 2.4.4. It should be borne in mind that the coolant is poisonous, so you should not suck it into your mouth when pouring it. When working with coolant, it is recommended to use safety glasses and not to smoke or eat. If the liquid gets on exposed skin, wash it with soap and water.

Gearbox oil

must be replaced after 60,000 km. For the oil change procedure, see subsections 3.3.2 and 3.4.2. Every 20,000 km, you need to check the oil level in the gearbox and top up if necessary. The oil level in the crankcase should reach the edge of the filler hole. If the drained oil contains metal particles or is very dirty, the box should be washed. To do this, pour 0.9 liters of fresh oil into its crankcase. Raise the rear of the car with a jack. Start the engine and, engaging first gear, let it run for 2-3 minutes. Then drain the oil and refill with fresh oil. When checking the oil level, you need to clean the surface of the breather from dirt and turn its cap several times to remove any dirt trapped under it.

Oil in the rear axle housing

must be changed after 60,000 km. The oil is changed in the same way as in a gearbox. After 20,000 km, you need to check the oil level in the crankcase and top up if necessary. The oil level should reach the edge of the filler hole. When checking the oil level, you need to clean the breather from dirt in the same way as you did for the gearbox.

Warning

Do not reuse drained brake fluid.

Brake fluid

In clutch and brake drives, they must be changed once every 2 years, regardless of the vehicle’s mileage.
Clutch and brake drives use domestically produced brake fluids “Rosa”, “Rosa-3”, “Tom”, “Neva” or their foreign analogues on a non-petroleum basis, the quality level of which is not lower than dot-3. The use of other brands of fluids, especially petroleum-based fluids, is prohibited
.

Brake fluid is hygroscopic, so it should not be stored in open containers.

The procedure for replacing brake fluid is as follows:

1. Remove the brake master cylinder reservoir cap.

2. Remove the rubber protective caps from the air release valves on the wheel cylinders and place rubber hoses on the valves, the ends of which are lowered into glass containers.

3. Unscrew the valves no more than one turn and, pressing the brake pedal all the way, drain the fluid. As soon as liquid stops flowing out of the hoses, tighten the air release valves.

4. Pour the drained brake fluid out of the vessels and put them in place.

5. Pour fresh fluid into the master cylinder reservoir, unscrew all air release valves one turn and, pressing the brake pedal all the way, fill the brake system. In this case, you need to constantly add fluid to the master cylinder reservoir. After clean brake fluid begins to flow out of the hoses placed on the air release valves, tighten the valves.

6. Bleed the brake system to remove air from it (see subsection 6.9).

7. Close the brake master cylinder reservoir with a plug. Remove the hoses from the air release valves and put protective caps on them.

The fluid in the clutch hydraulic drive is replaced in the same way.

Cooling liquids

Note. Service life and replacement of antifreeze in accordance with the vehicle service book. Mixing coolants of different brands is not allowed.

AIR CONDITIONING LIQUID

The air conditioner is filled with ozone-safe freon R 134 "A" Quantity - 0.4 kg

The air conditioning system uses ATMOSGU10 oil.

FLUID FOR SHOCK ABSORBERS

Liquid GRZh-12 ​​Front shock absorber - 0.12 l Rear shock absorber - 0.195 l.

Injection 21214 eats more than VAZ 2121

Changing the oil in a Priora automatic transmission

Interior of a domestic SUV

The injector on 21214 has the following operating scheme: data on air flow, crankshaft movement, coolant temperature, engine detonation, fuel consumption, voltage in the on-board network, etc. is received from vehicle components to a number of sensors. After receiving the information, the control unit gives signals about the order of fuel supply, the operation of the ignition system, the diagnostic system, the operation of the idle air control. The injector changes injection parameters depending on the data received.

This system includes such components as sensors, a controller, the injector itself (nozzles), a fuel pump, and a pressure regulator. In it, the pump supplies fuel, the pressure regulator maintains the difference between the pressure in the injectors and the air gap in the intake manifold. And the ECU processes the information received from the sensors.

Injection engines of Niva 21214 cars, if not properly maintained, lose their efficiency, increasing fuel consumption, and often begin to stall. As a rule, the problem lies in dirty engine injectors, which cause poor mixture formation and atomization of gasoline. Cleaning the injectors can be done independently by purchasing additional materials worth about 500 rubles (including: a diamond wrench on “8”, a carburetor cleaner, a vacuum hose for the distributor, a syringe with an outlet diameter of 1 cm, an electrical cable with a toggle switch and a light bulb, rubber rings injectors, 8 pieces, O-rings for fuel pipes - 4 pieces).

At a car service center this service costs about 1,500 rubles. The injector is considered a good fuel injection system, but it is expensive, difficult to repair, requires high-quality gasoline, special diagnostic equipment and expensive repair maintenance. Therefore, many VAZ 2121 owners prefer a carburetor.

The Niva 21213 and 21214 models are more “gluttonous” than the Niva 2121. The engine on them consumes 11.5 liters in the city, 8.3 liters on the highway, and about 10.5 liters per hundred kilometers in the combined cycle according to the manufacturer’s version . In practice, for some taiga hunters, the car “eats” about 16 liters of gasoline, and in urban conditions - 13-14 liters per “hundred”.

Reinforced suspension

Engine 2130, first released in 1993, is found in the Niva 2131. Its technical parameters are as follows:

• cast iron cylinders;
• food - carburetor or injector;
• in-line type;
• four cylinders, each of which has two valves;
• cylinder diameter - 8.2 cm;
• Engine volume on model 2131 is 1.8 liters;
• power at 5200 rpm - 82 horsepower;
• torque at 3200 rpm is 139 Nm;
• engine weight 122 kg;
• oil is poured in the same volume as on the VAZ 2121 Niva;
• oil consumption from 0.7 liters per 1000 kilometers;
• service life according to the plant - 80 thousand km, according to users up to 180 thousand km

Model description

For the domestic market, the appearance of an all-terrain vehicle was a real breakthrough.

The VAZ-21214 model, which later received the name “Lada 4×4”, and is popularly called “Niva”, is a modification of the VAZ-2121 car. This four-seater passenger car, with increased cross-country ability, belongs to the class of SUVs. It is equipped with all-wheel drive, a five-speed gearbox, a transfer case, a locked center differential, has fairly good ground clearance (22 cm), a short wheelbase and small body overhangs.

The car is capable of accelerating to a speed of 142 km/h, fuel consumption (AI-92) is 10.8 l/100 km (combined cycle).

The Lada injection power unit has:

• power 80 hp;
• four cylinders (two valves each);
• volume 1.7 l;
• torque 127.5 Nm at 5200 rpm;
• distributed fuel injection (electronically controlled).

Over the years, the engine has been modernized to Euro standards. So, since 2011, it began to comply with Euro-4 toxicity standards (models for the foreign market - Euro-5).

The guaranteed resource of the power unit is 80 thousand km, but usually up to 150 thousand km major repairs are not required.

VAZ 21213 Checking the oil level of a manual transmission

Checking the manual transmission oil level

Left: The inspection screw plug (1) of the manual transmission is located in the direction of travel on the right at half the height of the transmission housing. The drain plug (2) is located at the bottom of the gearbox.

Right: The fluid level in the power steering reservoir (2) must be checked with the engine running. If the tank marks are not visible, unscrew the tank cap (1) and check with a dipstick. Arrows point to marks.

A gearbox does not use oil as much as an engine and can only leak through defective seals. If no oil-soaked dirty spots are visible on the outside of the gearbox housing, then this inspection item is complete. Otherwise, you need to check the oil level. The filler (and inspection) plug is located on the left in the direction of travel at half the height of the gearbox housing next to the drive shaft.

The right grade of gear oil

You don't have to think about changing your transmission oil anymore. The transmission mechanism is equipped with a reservoir from which possible impurities are caught using a magnet.

However, gear oil must meet certain requirements. Audi prescribes the use of oil of viscosity class sae 75 w-90 with specification g 50. This is a synthetic oil.

Changing the oil in the axles of a Chevrolet Niva SUV

For this procedure, it is recommended to comply with vehicle maintenance, as well as the rules for repairing an SUV. The oil in the vehicle's axles should be changed every 40 thousand kilometers (applies to cases of Niva operation under normal conditions). If the car is operated in more difficult conditions, then the oil should be changed much earlier.

Preparation for changing the oil in Chevrolet Niva axles

Changing the oil in a vehicle's axles is identical to the procedure for changing the fluid in the transfer case. You should drive the SUV onto a viewing hole or onto a lift. The volume of oil required is the same as for the transmission. Before changing the oil, you should warm up the Niva. Next, you will need a 12mm hex key, a 17mm socket with a wrench, a container for draining the used oil, and a rag. You should also make sure you have a refill syringe.

Stages of oil change in Chevrolet Niva axles

1. Unscrew the drain plug.

2. The bolt magnet is inspected to determine whether there are chips on it. If there are no chips, the bolt is screwed back in.

3. The used oil is drained into a prepared container.

4. The drain plug is screwed in and tightened; this procedure applies to the rear axle.

5. The filler plug is unscrewed.

6. Using a filling syringe, add oil in the required volume.

7. The filler plug is wrapped and tightened again, we are talking about the rear axle.

Changing the oil in the front axle of a Chevrolet Niva is shown in more detail in the video.

Filling volumes for a VAZ 21214 car

It’s one thing to buy a car, and another to know and understand what to do with it: what to protect it from, when to “feed” it, how to operate it. No matter what kind of car you own, sooner or later you will need to refuel it. Today we will talk about the filling volumes of the VAZ 21214 and what to fill where.

First of all, let's talk about the fuel tank. Its volume in the VAZ 21214 is 42 liters (including reserve). Fill with gasoline with an octane rating of 91 to 93.

The fuel supply system is necessary to power the car engine, as well as its cleaning and storage.

The volume of the cooling system is 10.7 liters, which also includes the interior heating system. Fill in coolant whose freezing point is not higher than minus 40°C.

Cooling system - devices that provide supply of cooling medium to heated engine parts and removal of excess heat, i.e. maintaining the engine within the required thermal limits.

Engine lubrication system - 3.75 liters. It is necessary to select a specific oil, depending on the ambient temperature.

-20°С +40°С SAE 15W-40

-25°С +45°С SAE 10W-40

-30°С +45°С SAE 5W-40

-25°С +35°С SAE 10W-30

-30°С +35°С SAE 5W-30

The main task of the lubrication system is to reduce friction of mating parts. It also provides cooling of engine parts, protection against corrosion, removal of wear products and carbon deposits.

The filling volume of the gearbox housing is 1.35 liters, the transfer case housing is 0.75 liters, and the front axle housing is 1.15 liters. and rear axle housing 1.3 l. To fill these units, gear oils with a quality level corresponding to API GL-5 and a viscosity of 75W-90 are suitable.

The steering gear housing has a volume of 0.18 liters. You can add 75W-90 gear oil here.

The hydraulic brake system (0.515 liters) and clutch release system (0.2 liters) will require DOT-4, -3 brake fluid, respectively.

The volume of the windshield washer and rear door glass washer reservoir is 2 liters. You can fill it with either regular water or a mixture of water and windshield washer.
