Oil filter VAZ 2114: original, analogue, how to distinguish a fake, replacement

Top 5. MANN W914/2

Affordable price, excellent oil pumpability and consistent “German” quality have made the MANN W914/2 filter system the most popular among Lada Granta owners.

According to reviews from owners of the 16-valve Lada Granta, MANN W914/2 is one of the best filters for this car. Pressure appears in the oil system almost immediately, and for an engine with two camshafts this means a lot. The quality of original products has been stable for decades. For this reason, many Granta users have no doubt which oil filter to choose: from time to time they take the “Mann” one and don’t worry about anything. The only thing that can overshadow the experience of using this product is encountering a fake.

Engine Maintenance 21129

For normal operation of the Lada Vesta and other models, it is necessary to carry out regular maintenance. For this:

• After covering 10,000-15,000 kilometers, it is necessary to replace the lubricant. The oil filter is replaced at the same time as the oil;

ATTENTION: Before changing the lubricant, you must warm up your unit. This will reduce the viscosity of the oil and speed up the draining process.

• After every 20,000 mileage, you should check the functionality of the spark plugs, DC generator drive belt, battery, and crankcase ventilation;
• When the Lada Xray and other models reach 45,000 mileage, it is necessary to check the functionality of the thermostat, the elasticity of the cooling system pipes and replace the antifreeze. Fuel filters are being replaced;
• After 100,000 miles, it is necessary to check the condition of the timing belt. If there is damage, a new belt should be installed.

Selecting a Lada granta oil filter

The main purpose of an oil purification filter is to remove foreign particles and impurities from engine oil. Oil filters can vary in mounting, size, and opening pressure of the bypass valve.

The Lada Granta is equipped with a VAZ engine from the modern 8 and 16 valve range. That is why the recommendations for installing an oil filter for the Lada Granta will be the same as, for example, for the Niva, Kalina or Priora.

It is recommended that the oil filter be replaced along with engine lubricant, as indicated in the regulations. This should be done every ten to fifteen thousand kilometers. The service life of the MF is reduced if you frequently use the vehicle and have an aggressive driving style: any increased loads will negatively affect the performance characteristics of the filter.

Criterias of choice

When choosing a device for oil purification, the type of thread, the dimensions of the diameter of the seal and the barrel are taken into account. In addition, attention is paid to the model’s compatibility with the engine and manufacturer’s recommendations.

Which filter would you recommend other car owners choose? Have you ever bought a model from the rating? If so, what did you like about it and what didn’t you like about it?

• Which compressor to choose for car painting
• Rating of air filters for foreign cars
• The best car compressors
• Primer for car
• TOP motor oils
• Rating of jacks for passenger cars

Original

Most car owners prefer to install only original components on their car, which were originally on the car when purchased. The following original oil filters are suitable for installation:

• 21080-1012005-08;
• 21050-1012005-00;
• 21080-1012005-09;
• 21080-1012005-00.

All of them are considered original and are installed on VAZ cars. Specifically, the Lada Granta is equipped with an oil purification filter, produced and sold under article number 21080101200508.

Do not forget that original components (even for Russian cars) are often counterfeited, so during the selection process it is important not to buy a fake. The quality of counterfeits leaves much to be desired; they will not be able to provide complete fuel purification and will quickly fail.

Carefully check the information on the box with pictures from the Internet. The color, dimensions, and shape of the packaging must correspond to the catalog images. Check that the packaging is free of defects, torn parts, and that the product itself is free of chips, cracks or paint runs. Most often, fake parts are painted sloppily.

Analogs

If you don’t want to overpay for a brand, then take a closer look at inexpensive analogues. They are not inferior to the original in terms of characteristics and perform all functions at the same high level. For example, the following brands are popular among car owners:

Remember to carefully check the components you purchase. To avoid counterfeiting, contact only trusted sellers. Also, do not forget to check the appearance of the packaging and the product itself.

Check if there are any extraneous inscriptions or external defects on them. If you doubt the seller’s honesty, be sure to ask for certificates for the products sold and read them carefully.

Ways to distinguish a fake from an original filter

Despite the low quality of the original oil filter, installing a fake can lead to serious consequences and a significant reduction in the life of the power plant. The reason for this is the production of counterfeit consumables without complying with any norms and standards. Therefore, installing counterfeit products is extremely undesirable. A counterfeit can be identified by a number of characteristic features.

First of all, the packaging must be visually inspected. The original is made using rich colors, which the counterfeit cannot boast of. At the same time, counterfeit products may contain spelling, typographical and other errors.

You can identify a fake by looking at the o-ring. The original rubber has sufficient elasticity. The ring sits securely in the seat. In a fake filter, the seal is made of rubber, which quickly hardens. In some cases, the ring does not match the size of the seat, so it falls out of it freely.

You can identify a fake by the quality of the body paint. The original coating has no flaws and has a uniform color. In counterfeit products, when examining the case, shagreen is often noticeable. If you carefully examine the quality of paint application, you may find traces of dust. In counterfeit goods you can also see differences in shade and other defects. The inscriptions and fakes are less readable.

To complete the identification of a fake, it is recommended to look inside the filter. The original has no visible signs of corrosion or protruding sealant. When examining a fake, carelessness in the manufacture of the consumable is often revealed.

The process of replacing the oil filter on a Lada Granta

To remove the old filter element and install a new one, prepare in advance:

• new motor oil;
• a container for draining waste liquid (water bottle, oil canister);
• set of wrenches;
• puller to unscrew the MF;
• rags;
• funnel;
• new oil filter.

Before starting work, you need to warm up the Lada Granta - that is, drive it. Wait about fifteen minutes and begin the replacement process. Then the liquid will have time to completely drain into the crankcase. It is advisable to install the machine on an inspection hole or overpass; you can use a lift. Then:

• Open the hood. Find the oil filler hole and unscrew the cap from it so that the lubricant drains faster.
• Drain the treatment by unscrewing the drain plug. It is under the car. Please note: the liquid is hot, so you need to be careful when draining it.
• Place a pre-prepared drain container under the engine. While the used oil is poured out, you can begin to directly replace the filter element.
• Using a special wrench, unscrew the oil filter. It is not necessary to use a puller - you can try to unscrew it by hand or with improvised means (for example, a flat-head screwdriver, a belt or a chain).
• Fill the new filter halfway with fresh, unused oil.
• Wipe the area where the previous filter consumable was located with a clean rag. This is necessary to ensure that residual dirt does not penetrate into the new lubricant.
• Also lubricate the sealing rubber with unused liquid.
• Gently tighten the oil filter without applying any force. As a result, the rubber band should touch the cylinder block. After this, turn it another quarter turn.
• After you tighten the plug on the drain neck, fill in new lubricant. Then screw on the oil filler cap.
• Run the engine for a couple of minutes. After you turn off the engine, carefully check to see if there are any lubricant leaks. If you notice any leaks, simply tighten the necessary parts.
• Make sure the oil level is correct. If it is less than necessary, add liquid.

Use only high-quality lubricant and do not forget to replace it on time. If you are afraid of damaging other elements of the car system or are not sure that you can cope with such a task, it would be best to contact a salon.

Reviews

Ivan, Moscow, 25 years old: The original filter did not suit me, as it unexpectedly quickly fails - I refuel with inexpensive gasoline. Now I installed a Goodwill filter and am happy with everything, replacement is much cheaper, and the consumable itself lasts longer.

Daria, Tomsk, 31 years old: For several years now I have been installing only MF from Fortech on my car. The quality is excellent and the filters last longer than usual. The cost is higher than its analogues, but it suits me.

Alexey, Ufa, 29 years old: I recently changed filters for the first time and became interested in Logem brand products. because it was inexpensive. I've been using MF for several weeks now, the quality is amazing. Let's see how it behaves next.

Tuning the Largus engine and other models with engine 21129

Modernization of power plants makes it possible to achieve higher technical characteristics. Improving engine performance is carried out in specialized workshops that have the appropriate equipment. For this purpose, specialists:

• The sleeves are bored to a diameter of 88 mm. This enlarges the combustion chamber;
• Lightweight pistons are installed;
• Smooth out irregularities in the intake and exhaust channels;
• Modernize the gas distribution mechanism;
• Flashing the electronic control unit.

IMPORTANT: The firmware of the electronic control unit is performed by highly qualified specialists. Violation of this rule can lead to complete failure of the product and costly repairs.

From the above it follows that the 21129 engine installed on the Lada Largus and other models is distinguished by its reliability and power. The manufacturer equipped the power plant with new attachments. By performing tuning, they improve the technical characteristics of the engine.

Which oil filter for LADA cars is better to choose

The oil filter is designed to remove contaminants from the engine oil. Oil filters differ not only in size and mounting, but also in the opening pressure of the bypass valve. Let's figure out which oil filter should be installed on modern Lada cars.

The modern line of 8 and 16 valve VAZ engines (detailed table) is used on cars such as Lada Granta, Priora, Kalina, Largus, Niva, Vesta or XRAY. The manufacturer's recommendations regarding the use of oil filters are the same for all modern VAZ engines, and accordingly for these cars. Where the oil filter is located is shown in the diagram (position No. 11):

The manufacturer recommends changing the oil filter along with the engine oil. The catalog numbers of oil filters should be as follows:

• 21050-1012005-00;
• 21080-1012005-00;
• 21080-1012005-08;
• 21080-1012005-09.
• 152085758R (for Renault-Nissan engine on Lada XRAY)

Currently, the oil filter can be produced in various types, “Nevsky”, “Mahle”, etc. So, which oil filters are good? Reviews of popular car magazines have repeatedly checked the service life of filters of different brands, while monitoring the quality of filtration of the reference mixture. Based on the presented ratings, it is impossible to accurately determine the leader, because... The TOP 10 varies depending on the source. For example, the popular Bosch P3274 oil filter took first place according to one online magazine, but in another source it occupies only 6th position.

To the question : What brand of oil filter is installed on Vesta from the factory? Which brand of oil filter is recommended for installation?

AVTOVAZ responded like this:

Beware of fakes. Try to buy an oil filter in trusted stores or from an authorized dealer. Sometimes a fake can be identified by certain criteria, for example, for MANN filters: the box should indicate the website, the PCT sign, and instead of “Germany” it should say “Germany”. The anti-drainage valve should be white, the instructions should be graphic and not text, etc. What oil filters can you recommend? Let us remind you that filter replacement is presented in this manual.

Livny, Finwhale and WEEN

Next in price and quality are Livny, Finwhale and WEEN. What would you like to say about this filter (Toyota Ween). The packaging says that it was made in Japan, but Toyota has nothing to do with this filter. To put it simply, this is factory China. On the box it says Japan. There are Hova filters that say they were made in Holland. On Ween - Japan. Both are China. But China, which works.

Finwhale

Regarding Finwhale, they have proven themselves well in the markets of both Ukraine and Russia. The company that transports Finwhale to Ukraine said that in fact Finwhale does not produce oil filters, but orders them from Mann.

If you compare Finwhale and Mann, you will notice even from the drainage holes that they are the same. But Finwhale is inferior in price to Mann. Same with the eight, it's a classic.

Livny

The first filters installed by AvtoVAZ were Livny. In principle, this is what it says here: “Supplied to the AvtoVAZ conveyor.” Today, I don’t know whether they are supplied to Prioras or Kalinas or not. But again, for the money that it costs, Livny for some reason more often choose either Mann, or Finwhale, or Knecht, or Mahle.

That is, the number of sales of all Russian manufacturers has decreased, as there are competitors.

According to the survey results, to the question “Which filters do you prefer,” more than 40% of people answered Mann, followed by Mahle, SCT and the like. And at the same time, there were mixed reviews regarding the quality of Mann. There seems to be a leak, the pressure light is on.

In principle, there are 2 objective reasons for such situations. The first is a defect, because this is mass production, although there is quality control, but nevertheless, this takes place.

And the second reason for such comments is Chinese counterfeits of Mann. Accordingly, they are the ones who spoil the reputation of Mann.

How to distinguish a fake MANN

There are several differences between a fake Mann oil filter. The first thing that is the difference between the original and China is the gloss on the original; on China it is not there. All markings are correct. Instructions: in the original it is in pictures, but in Chinese it is written in text. Font. The original shows that it is clear. In Chinese you can see that it is blurry. A characteristic feature of all Chinese Mann filters is that the bypass valve spring is crooked. The weight of the original filter is 456 grams, the Chinese one weighs 430 grams. Another feature of the Chinese Mann is the O-ring. It is quite easy to remove with your hands, it can be removed without problems, without effort. It is also inserted. On the original, it is quite difficult to remove it.

The most reliable High quality and complete absence of counterfeits on the domestic market makes Bosch oil filters the most reliable products.

The Bosch oil filter, which is often chosen for the Lada Granta, causes a minimum of complaints from car owners. Thanks to the efficient operation of the drain valve and the small volume of the filter unit, instantaneous pressure is ensured in the oil system. Timely supply of lubricant after startup has a beneficial effect on the service life of the 16-valve internal combustion engine. Small sizes do not affect the degree of cleaning. The filter reliably captures dispersed particles even when using engine oil with extended drain intervals. The only drawback of the product is that it cannot always be purchased at retail.

Purpose and device

Stable and long-term operation of the engine is ensured by lubrication of its rubbing parts: such as main and connecting rod bearings of the crankshaft, timing parts, piston rings and others. This task is performed by the engine lubrication system, which, using a pump, supplies lubricant to all its parts:

• During engine operation, even lubricated parts in contact with each other (the oil film does not cope) gradually wear out
• Therefore, microscopic particles of chips ranging in size from a few to tens of micrometers begin to get into the oil.
• And as a result, over time, oil gradually turns from a good lubricant into an abrasive, leading to increased wear of parts.
• To solve the problem, an oil filter for the VAZ 2115 is installed in the engine lubrication system, which filters contaminant particles from the oil
• The design of modern elements allows you to retain up to 95% of particles with sizes ranging from 25-45 micrometers
• Additionally, it traps carbon particles and many other contaminants.
• Another useful function is to ensure oil retention inside the line, as well as in the engine channels after stopping it
• This function makes starting the engine safer; in the first moments, the parts no longer spin dry, they are supplied with lubricant from the filter and from the channels

A little history

Oil filters began to be mass-produced and installed on cars only in the 20s of the last century, when it was noticed that the introduction of such a component into the lubrication system sharply increases the service life of the oil (immediately 10-15 times) and the engine (almost 3 times). So:

• In engines without the use of these elements, the oil was changed every 700-800 kilometers.
• Compared to modern ten to twenty thousand kilometers, this is minuscule!
• However, right up until the mid-forties, incomplete flow filters were used; only part of the oil passed through them, so the cleaning, of course, was not entirely of high quality
• And with the advent of full-line filters that purify all oil passing through the lubrication system, it has become possible to increase the service life of the oil to today’s values

Device

Sectional view of oil filter

Now we will tell you about the design of the most common modern mechanical oil filters, which are installed on most cars and other vehicles today. Oil filters for VAZ 21154 consist of the following components:

• Cylindrical body
• The bottom cover, in which there are inlet and outlet holes (if it is non-separable, as in our example, its cover is connected to the body using rolling)
• A filter element (the so-called “curtain”) made of paper, or cardboard, or felt, possibly other porous materials using special impregnation
• Bypass valve (to prevent the filter from being torn apart by lubricant pressure)
• Shut-off valve (prevents lubricant from draining from the filter after stopping the engine)
• Anti-drain valve
• Pressure spring, see photo above

Now let's look at all the elements in more detail:

• The cover contains a number of holes arranged in a circle, through which lubricant is supplied.
• Lubricant enters the gap between the body and the paper curtain
• Seeps through the curtain
• Then, already cleaned, it comes out through the central hole, also located in the lid.
• The central hole has a thread to connect it to a fitting on the engine block
• As a rule, the body is made of steel, and therefore has good strength, because the filter operates under pressure within 2-16 atmospheres
• The curtain - also known as the filter element - is the main part
• It is made from paper or cardboard of a special grade, which is then additionally impregnated with special compounds
• The surface of the curtain is compressed into an “accordion” and still twisted, a multi-rayed star is obtained - thus, the area of ​​​​the element increases many times with a very slight increase in volume
• The curtain itself is enclosed in metal rings, which is why it has the shape of a cylinder and does not fall apart
• The bypass valve is a conventional spring valve, which is located in the upper or lower part of the body
• It is necessary to prevent “oil starvation” when the lubricant viscosity is high (when starting the engine in winter) or when the curtain is excessively dirty
• This valve opens when a certain threshold pressure is exceeded and drains oil into the engine, bypassing the filter element.
• The need for such a valve is due to the fact that it is much better to lubricate engine parts with unrefined oil for a short time than to leave it completely without lubrication for a minute.
• The anti-bleed valve (shut-off valve) is made in the form of a simple rubber ring that closes the inlet holes located in the lid
• It is necessary to prevent oil from leaking out of the filter and oil system after stopping the engine.
• The anti-drain valve is a “service” valve; it is needed to prevent oil from leaking from the housing (through the outlet, central hole) when replacing
• From my own experience, I note that not all filters are equipped with such a valve.

Oil filter and its functions

A cleaning device for a car engine consists of several elements:

• The body is a metal cylinder with a lid.
• Filter insert. Made from special purpose corrugated paper.
• Inlet valve.
• Anti-drainage mechanism that prevents the passage of oil after the engine is turned off.

Oil filters ensure stable operation of car engine mechanisms. The main function is to collect abrasive particles using a perforated paper liner through which engine oil is pumped under pump pressure. The speed and quality of oil purification is ensured by the type of liner and element size.

Oil filters for VAZ and foreign cars are selected individually for each car.

BOSCH

The peculiarity of this filter is that, firstly, it is universal, similar to the associations with Mann, Mahle. Universal, as it fits both Lada models 1 to 7, as well as eights, nines, tens (VAZ 2108-09, 2110), etc.

Of all the above-mentioned filters, Bosch is the most expensive, that is, 20 percent more expensive. The price is not based on the fact that it is Bosch, a well-known brand, etc. Other manufacturers use cellulose microfibers in their filter element; this can be read on official websites and any tests in automobile magazines. In Soviet literature, if you refer to it, it is written that the oil filter consists of a bypass valve, an anti-drainage and filter element, which consists of corrugated fabric and cardboard. Bosch is the only manufacturer that uses synthetic fibers in the filter element. That is, cellulose with synthetic fibers. Based on this, the price is formed; it is more expensive. According to the same foreign publications, more and more foreign cars are coming from the factory with oil, fuel, cabin filters, with synthetic fibers, using them. Synthetic fibers filter engine wear products better than cellulose.

Top 1. BIG Filter GB-102M

6 reviews taken into account from resources: Reviewer

The best price The domestic BIG GB oil filter costs 60% less than the most popular filter element among Grant owners from MANN.

Despite the budget cost, the domestic filter element is in demand not only in Russia. The brand's products are successfully exported to neighboring countries and European countries, where quality requirements are the highest. Most often, the GB-102M oil filter is installed on the 8-valve Lada Granta. When using a more fluid lubricant 5w-40 or 5w-30, pressure in the system does not appear with the first stroke of the pump. This happens due to the increased filter capacity. Also, some owners have complaints related to the purchase of counterfeit products.

Cooling system

The motor is equipped with a forced-type liquid cooling system. Cooling of the liquid is carried out in the radiator. The movement of coolant in the radiator and cooling jacket is carried out using a water pump. It is belt driven from the crankshaft of the power unit.

For quick warm-up in the cold season, a thermostat is included in the cooling system. At low coolant temperatures, the thermostat closes a large circulation circle. This allows for rapid heating of the coolant. Once the required temperature is reached, the thermostat opens a large circle.

IMPORTANT: The manufacturer has equipped the power plant with cooling of the working mixture. This design allows you to increase power and reduce fuel consumption.

The best premium filters

The main positions in the sector of components for premium cars are occupied by well-known foreign manufacturers. Which companies and concerns produce oil filters that are among the best on the world market? The rating of the best models includes several famous brands.

Oil filter Mahle OC

Mahle produces products for cleaning motor oil of automobile engines of recognized quality. Their filters are installed on imported cars from the expensive sector.

The Mahle oc205 oil filter has a housing with durable walls of impressive thickness that can withstand any overload.

Of course, in order for high-quality equipment to work without failures, do not skimp on oil. The viscosity must withstand the required temperature and pressure characteristics.

Recognized advantages:

• Availability for sale.
• Compact dimensions that exactly fit the intended installation location.
• Impeccable product quality and high level of cleaning.

If the operating recommendations are followed, it fully meets the technical specifications for quality and service life.

• Saving fuel and lubricants. The 21129 engine has low fuel and lubricant consumption. Such indicators were achieved thanks to the new firmware;
• Increased power. The maximum engine power is 106 horsepower. When tuning, it is possible to increase this figure;
• Compliance with European environmental standards. More complete combustion of fuel in the chamber allows not only to improve technical performance, but also to increase the environmental class to the Euro 5 standard;
• Improved additional equipment. The manufacturer installed a modernized DC generator and improved mounting pads on the engine of the Lada X-ray and other models;
• Reliability and service life of the engine 21129. The manufacturer declared the service life of the power plant to be 200,000 km.

The power plant has shortcomings. These include:

• Bending of valves when the timing belt breaks.

• When the belt breaks, the piston, moving to top dead center, bends the open valves;
• High cost of communication maintenance and repair due to the presence of expensive foreign-made parts;
• Poor quality of the cooling system thermostat. The engine takes a long time to warm up in the winter;
• The need to use high-quality fuel and expensive lubricants.
