Changing the gearbox oil is one of the most important aspects of car care. The oil ensures uniform lubrication of the rubbing elements of the transmission, and also serves as a coolant, removing temperature from the heated surfaces of the parts.
When to change gearbox oil?
The oil in the VAZ 2108 gearbox is changed after approximately 75,000 km or at least every 4-5 years.
Box volume in liters?
A five-speed gearbox holds about 3.3 liters of gear oil, a four-speed gearbox holds about 3.0 liters.
What kind of oil should I put in the box?
The manufacturer recommends the following brands of oils:
- Rexol T (80W-85; GL-4);
- Volnez TM4” (80W-90; GL-4);
- Omskoil trans P (80W-85; GL-4/5).
Checking the volume and condition of the oil
Checking the consumables in the automatic transmission is carried out using a dipstick, which controls the fluid level - it can be recognized by the Max and Min marks. For example, if the fluid is below the Min level, then take new oil and add it. Overfilling the oil is extremely undesirable, otherwise the excess volume will have to be drained. The oil level is considered optimal if it is between the two above marks.
With high mileage, adding oil alone will most likely not work. It is better not to mix spoiled oil with new oil, otherwise the latter will not be of much benefit. You can identify spoiled oil using generally accepted signs:
- The oil has become cloudy and darkened
- The oil emits a specific odor
- Oil contains sediment
So, if these signs are detected, we can conclude that adding oil alone will not be enough, and you will have to perform a complete replacement.
When should TM be changed?
Different experts have different opinions on this matter, but the majority is inclined to believe that the oil fluids inside the car for the VAZ 2109 gearbox should be changed every 30,000 kilometers, or once a year. But, of course, everything depends on the operating conditions and the roads on which the vehicle travels, so in a gentle mode, gear oil can serve well for 50,000 kilometers.
Every motorist should constantly check the quality of the working oil fluid, preferably at least every 10,000 kilometers. If the oil has acquired an unpleasant dark color, abrasive particles are visible in its structure, or foreign sediment is visible, then it is better to replace the oil composition. This way you will not only prevent car damage, but also protect your travel on the road.
Specialists oblige all motorists to replace the working oil fluids inside the VAZ 2109 gearbox every time the gearbox is repaired. This way you can prevent contamination and erosion of new parts, and most importantly, you will know that gear shifting is done efficiently.

Accordingly, the lower mark is the minimum level, upon reaching which it is necessary to add oil to the box. Otherwise, the gearbox may quickly fail.
