The cabin filter is suitable for a grant. Cabin filter Lada Granta

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.

What filters can be installed?

Before installing a new filter element on the Lada Granta, you need to figure out which consumable material is best to choose. The purpose of the oil filter is to clean the engine oil from wear particles formed during the operation of rubbing parts, as well as from unburnt solid fuel particles.

In most cases, the oil filter assembly is a metal cup in which a filter element folded like an accordion and two safety valves are installed: anti-drainage and bypass.

Oil filter element design

The most popular manufacturers of filter materials that can be installed on the Lada Granta are the following brands: Renault, Mann, Knecht, Union, etc. One of the best filters can rightfully be considered the original Renault filter 7700274177 and its analogues.

True, there is a possibility of purchasing a fake, so it is better to buy in specialized stores and require certificates for the products. Imported consumables are expensive, so you can use domestic filters made for VAZ cars.

Removal and replacement instructions

The oil filter is changed according to the regulations along with replacing the engine lubricant. Lada Granta manufacturers recommend changing lubricants after 10-15 thousand kilometers. The period between replacements is affected by the operating conditions of the machine. If the car experiences increased loads, the service life should be halved.

Tools

To carry out the procedure for removing and replacing consumable filter elements on the Lada Granta, you will need the following materials and tools:

• set of wrenches;
• new oil filter;
• fresh motor oil;
• puller for unscrewing the filter;
• container for draining waste;
• clean rags;
• funnel.

To make work easier, the machine should be driven onto an overpass, inspection hole, or raised using a lift. You can use an empty oil canister or water bottle as a container.

Stages

The oil and oil filter must be changed on a warm Lada Granta after the trip. You should wait about 15 minutes for all the liquid to drain into the crankcase. After this, you can begin a phased replacement.

1. First you need to open the hood and unscrew the cap from the oil filler hole so that the lubricant is better than the glass.
2. Next, you should move under the car to drain the waste. To do this, you need to unscrew the drain plug.

   
   Using a wrench, unscrew the drain plug

Be careful not to get burned by the hot liquid that drains.

• You need to place a prepared drain container under the engine.
• While the waste is draining, you can replace the filter element. Using a puller, you need to unscrew the oil filter.

  
  Unscrew the old consumable using a puller

If you don't have a special key, you can try to unscrew it by hand. If that doesn’t work, you can use improvised means: a chain, a belt, a flat-head screwdriver, piercing the body with it and using it as a lever.

• The place where the filter was located must be wiped with a clean rag so that contaminants do not get into the new lubricant.
• Next, you need to take a new filter consumable and fill it halfway with fresh oil.

  
  Lubricate the rubber seal with oil

• The oil filter should be tightened by hand without force until the rubber band touches the cylinder block. Then the housing is rotated another ¾ turn.
• By tightening the plug on the drain neck, you can fill in new lubricant.
• After filling in the required amount of lubricant, you need to tighten the oil filler cap and start the engine for a few minutes.

During the operation of the Lada Granta car, it is necessary to constantly monitor the quality of the lubricating fluid and change it along with the oil filter on time.

Characteristics in the rating

It is difficult to overestimate the importance of oil in the functioning system of an internal combustion engine - it is a material intended for cooling and lubricating the rubbing surfaces of parts. During the operation of a vehicle, wear products enter it in the form of small solid inclusions, which have an abrasive effect on the lubricated surfaces. The gradual accumulation of foreign elements can lead to rapid engine failure, the replacement of which (regardless of the car brand) will cost a tidy sum.

Special oil filters, manufactured by world-famous suppliers of auto parts, are designed to get rid of the negative impact of wear products and extend the life of one oil fill. The action of the filters is based on the retention of solid inclusions of a certain fraction on thick perforated filter paper, which freely allows oil to pass under the pressure of the oil pump. In this case, the degree of filtration and the speed of the process completely depend on the type of element. Having carefully analyzed the products presented on the market of auto parts and components, we have selected for you the ten best manufacturers of oil filters at the moment. The final selection of applicants was made taking into account the following criteria:

1. reviews from car enthusiasts, experts and professionals about their experience using the product line;
2. opinions of authoritative publications, results of official tests;
3. popularity of the manufacturing company in the domestic market;
4. compliance of the quality and operational potential of products with nominal cost.

2 BIG Filter

One of the leading domestic manufacturers of filter elements, developing low-cost products for the domestic and foreign markets. Supplies oil filters to VAG enterprises located in Russia (for example, in the city of Kaluga).

The company's product range includes more than a hundred types of oil filters, which undergo strict testing at every stage of development. Great attention is paid to the tightness of the valves, which allow oil to leak away during engine downtime. Judging by the reviews, most users prefer to install them right away, as a replacement for standard filters that have exhausted their service life. The company does not rest on its laurels and is constantly expanding its product range.

• they develop filters for both domestic cars (VAZ) and foreign cars;
• good quality filter elements;
• characteristic marking of the company’s filters (green housing).

All oil filters for passenger cars are divided into three types: full-flow, partial-flow and combined. What are their main advantages and what are the main disadvantages – we will find out from the comparison table.

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.

1 BelMag

A domestic manufacturer of auto parts from Magnitogorsk, which suspended its activities due to a budget deficit. The production line was launched in 1996 – at that time the part was needed exclusively by the Russian auto industry. With the gradual attenuation of the market, the company's products turned out to be unclaimed, which led to a corresponding curtailment of all capacities.

The arrival of the Renault-Nissan concern on the market marked a new stage in the history of the company. The gradual increase in production capacity has led to a good jump in the overall quality of all auto parts. In particular, the production of inexpensive oil filters for VAZ cars (from 2106 to Prior, Grant and Kalin), Renault and Nissan brands has been established.

• wide range of products for various car brands;
• acceptable quality, noted by professionals;
• low cost;
• widespread in the Russian market.

The principle of rating construction

When choosing the best oil filter, you can only talk about a specific car. Our test object was one of the best-selling cars in Russia - Kia Rio 3 with a 1.6 liter engine. As a “reference point” we took the standard Kia oil filter number 26300-35503 , which is also used on many other Korean cars. Its mounting dimensions are almost standard by modern standards: thread M20x1.5, body diameter - 78 mm (outer diameter of the sealing ring - 63 mm). Having selected the most popular oil filters from well-known brands, we divided them into two categories - undoubtedly recommended or optimal for replacement if there are no other options for purchase.

Unfortunately, only imported parts will take part in the test: although a number of Russian companies produce analogues (for example, Nevsky Filter), they are not widespread, and it is hardly worth recommending a product that is difficult to buy.

The Mahle brand offers a huge selection of components for engines, from cylinder-piston units to consumables for maintenance. Mahle is one of the main suppliers of automotive production, and in this case there is no point in repeating the high quality of products once again.

The oil filter we are considering rightfully takes first place in the ranking of the best: a high-quality, thick-walled housing not only withstands pressure in the oil system during a cold start without deformation, but also unscrews conveniently: when using disc pullers, the edges on thin-walled filters often roll off, and you have to use “ the old-fashioned method with chain pullers and other, even less convenient methods. The bypass valve is calibrated for a pressure difference of 1 bar - with synthetic oil of the recommended viscosity for the Kia Rio, it will be securely closed, protecting the engine from the penetration of unclean oil. Fans of cheap semi-synthetic oils should be careful in winter - trying to drive with a cold engine will not be the best choice.

• Prevalence.
• Exact fit of the seat to the car.
• High quality workmanship.

• Not detected.

The second indisputably recommended oil filter also has German roots, although the production of Bosch products has long been distributed throughout the world - for example, our “experimental” one comes from South Africa. In terms of area, it can be considered the leader in the test: a solid cartridge made of evenly laid corrugated paper occupies almost the entire 80 mm body. This did not affect the performance of the bypass valve - it is recessed inside the filter element, has a decent area and opens exactly at 1 bar of pressure difference.

The only thing I can find fault with is the anti-drainage valve - it works noticeably hard, although the manufacturer indicates an opening pressure of 0.12 bar, but it still has more resistance than Mahle. For a healthy engine this will not be a problem, but since the softer valve on the Mahle also effectively prevents the outflow of oil from the filter, this coarsening will still not benefit the overall rating score. The oil filter for the Kia Rio, manufactured by Bosch, takes a solid second place in the Price Expert's list of recommendations.

• High quality filtration, long resource.
• Exact compliance with the manufacturer's requirements.

• Less balanced design than Mahle.

The MANN company is no less well-known supplier of consumables for automobile plant conveyors than Mahle. However, in our case, they failed to surpass their colleagues: this oil filter has a smaller height and, accordingly, filter element area than the Mahle OC205, therefore, it will be the best choice only for relatively little worn engines, into which synthetic oil with low and stable viscosity. In this case, faster clogging during the run between oil changes will not play a significant role, but the reduced height will make installation easier in a tight engine compartment.

Top 4. MAHLE OC 384

29 reviews from resources taken into account: Reviewer

Lada Granta owners often choose the MAHLE OC 384 model when changing the oil filter, due to the excellent reputation of the brand. Users note the strength of the case and the high quality of rubber seals. Even after prolonged use they retain their original elasticity. The tightness and filtering capabilities of the model also fully satisfy the owners of the 16-valve Granta. Sometimes there are reviews about the discrepancy between the country of manufacture - instead of Austria, the box may contain a product from Indonesia. Asian filters are slightly inferior in build quality and filtration area.
