What kind of oil to pour into 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.

Lubricant functions

Content

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.

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.

Types of oils

During the procedure, you should know what kind of oil to pour into the box of the VAZ 2110.

They are divided into 3 types:

Synthetic . Characterized by a high degree of purification. The composition includes various additives that protect parts from corrosion. Replacement is carried out every 65-75 thousand km.
Semi-synthetic . The percentage of additives is much lower, so the oil is changed more often. It is advisable to carry out this procedure every 45-55 thousand km. The advantage is lower cost.
Mineral . Refers to unrefined oils. Loss of properties is observed after 20-30 thousand kilometers. After this it must be replaced.

In surveys conducted among motorists about which oil to put in the box of a VAZ 2110, the majority expressed their preference in favor of semi-synthetics. This was motivated by the fact that in harsh climates and difficult roads there is increased wear of gears. Therefore, after 50 km, an oil change is necessary.

What will happen if you don't change?

Failure to promptly change the oil in the gearbox significantly reduces the life of the unit. Transmission oils contain a whole range of additives that effectively remove corrosion products on steel gearbox parts and facilitate the operation of bronze synchronizers. Over time, these additives lose their properties and wear of parts increases with old oil. In addition, the oil serves to remove heat from gearbox components; the older the lubricant, the worse it provides heat removal. Metal particles generated during operation of the box will also have a negative effect. They will get into the bearings and contact spots of the gears, increasing their wear.

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:

SAE80W-85 (GL-4/GL-4/5);
SAE75W-90 (GL-4/5).

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.

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
Petro-Canada Traxon XL 75W90	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.

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.

Amount of oil to be filled

The question often arises: how much oil to pour into the box of a VAZ 2110. The total volume is 3.3 liters. However, 3.5 liters of oil are poured into the box. This is due to the fact that the unit is five-speed. At an increased level, the gears of the last gear are better washed.

It is not recommended to do additional overflow. This is due to the fact that excess oil will penetrate through the seals of the drive wheels, and at the same time squeezing them out. If an overflow has already occurred, you should use a medical syringe with a long tube to pump out the excess amount through the control hole.

To check the level you need to perform a few simple steps:

The transmission dipstick is located near the thermostat and starter. He gets out.
Wipe well with a dry cloth.
It is set to its original position and one and a half dozen seconds are counted.
It is pulled out again and checked. The liquid level should be at the max mark. A slight excess is allowed.
The dipstick finally returns to its place.

If the test is carried out in the absence of a dipstick, then in order to understand how much oil needs to be added to the VAZ 2110 box, the car needs to be driven into an inspection hole or overpass. If this is not possible, then using a lift is allowed.

Further actions are as follows:

Using a 17 key, unscrew the control plug.
If the amount is normal, a drop appears from the hole. The oil level is exactly at the bottom of the hole.
The plug is installed in place.

If you need to top up, you must remember what kind of oil was poured into the VAZ 2110 gearbox. Using a different brand is prohibited. The same viscosity must be maintained. Topping up is carried out using a syringe or funnel until the oil begins to pour out.

Problems when paying with bank cards

Sometimes difficulties may arise when paying with Visa/MasterCard bank cards. The most common of them:

There is a restriction on the card for paying for online purchases
A plastic card is not intended for making payments online.
The plastic card is not activated for making payments online.
There are not enough funds on the plastic card.

In order to solve these problems, you need to call or write to the technical support of the bank where you are served. Bank specialists will help you resolve them and make payments.

Rules for pouring oil into the box of a VAZ 2110

In order for the gearbox to last as long as possible, it is necessary to use only certified oils. Know which oil is best to pour into the box of a VAZ 2110. While driving, make only smooth accelerations and move at an optimal speed of 100-120 km/h. If it is not possible to find the required liquid, you should try to find one that is similar in parameters.

The following rules also apply:

Attention is drawn to the seasonality of the lubricant. Summer is used in summer, and winter is used in winter. Universally applicable at any time of the year.
Before starting work, the engine warms up well so that when draining the waste, all waste particles come out.

Tool preparation

It should be remembered that if the drain plug is located in a convenient place and access to it is open from the inspection hole, then the location of the filler hole is in a less accessible place.

For pouring you will need the following tools and materials:

wrench with 17mm head;
clean rags;
hard, thin wire;
capacity up to 5 liters;
funnel or syringe;
thin hose, up to 30 cm long;
new oil in the amount of 5 liters.

Draining waste

To change the gearbox oil, it is better not just to start the engine, but also drive it for 5-7 km.

Then the following actions are performed:

The car is driven into a pit, overpass or placed on a lift. After this it is silenced.
The plug is removed from the breather and cleaned of dirt.
The empty container is picked up and brought to the drain plug, which is carefully unscrewed.
The oil draining time is up to 15 minutes. You need to wait until the drops stop completely.
The cork is washed well and screwed on.

Washing process

It is necessary to clean the box from small metal particles. A special liquid is used for this.

Washing is carried out as follows:

The front wheels are hung so that they do not reach the ground.
1 liter of flushing fluid is poured through the neck.
The engine starts, the gear is engaged, and this mode is maintained for up to 15 minutes.
The car is turned off and the fluid is completely drained.

Adding fresh oil

You can pour oil into the VAZ 2110 box using a funnel, if there is a filler neck, or a syringe with a straw if there is none.

In the first case, you need to follow the following rules:

A funnel is inserted into the filler neck.
3.5 liters of oil are poured through it.
As soon as it settles, the level is checked with a dipstick.

If there is no filler neck, use a syringe with a tube.

The operating procedure is as follows:

A hose is inserted into the control hole and oil is pumped in with a syringe.
The procedure is carried out in several stages until the oil reaches the lowest point of the control hole.
The plug is screwed tightly.

After filling in fresh oil, you should start the car and drive it for several kilometers. It is necessary that the new transmission substance fills the corners of the box and lubricates all the gears.

General information about manual transmission

The gearbox in a car is the most important structural driving element of the entire transmission. The vehicle's gearbox is designed to transform the torque from the engine to the chassis, the speed and direction of movement of the vehicle, and also serves to permanently disconnect the engine from the transmission.

A manual gearbox (this type is installed on the VAZ 2112 and many other VAZ models, in everyday life simply - mechanics or manual transmission) is a cylindrical multi-stage gearbox, in which only manual gear shifting is developed
There are four-speed and five-speed (no longer required for VAZs), there are also six-speed, seven-speed and even more gearboxes
As you understand, the classification depends on the number of stages (gears), reverse gear is not considered in this classification
For example, a four-speed gearbox has four forward gears and a reverse gear, and so on.
The main advantages of a mechanical box are: simplicity and reliability of the design. Possibility of manual control in any mode of movement of the machine
Thanks to these qualities, manual transmission is still the most common type of transmission.
However, today, more and more consumers are choosing automatic transmissions
