Since the distribution contains rubbing elements, over time, wear inevitably appear in it. If it is timely not to replace the oil in a transfer box, its resource is reduced. Oil loses performance, and small particles increase the wear of the gear.
How often change
There are several different types of dispensing boxes, and depending on the type of mechanism, the frequency of replacement in them can differ significantly. Usually this information is contained in the technical documentation for the car and varies in the range from 50 to 100,000 mileage kilometers.
In addition, the terms of operation affect the term. Distribution of a car that travels on public roads is experiencing much less loads than installed on the car constantly moving off-road.
How to choose
Two types of liquid poured into the distribution: transmission oil or ATF liquid. On cars with automatic transmission, ATF is usually poured into a dispensing box, with a transmission transmission. At the same time, often fluids should coincide, or be completely compatible.
It is determined by the fact that usually the connection of the disassemble and the box is made by a single shaft, or one is attached to the case of another. When mixing liquids, this will avoid the formation of emulsion, foaming and other side effects.
For most modern cars having a distribution, the manufacturer recommends using transmission oils of class GL-5. They protect the hypoid transmissions well, designed to work in the most loaded mechanisms and contain contamaged additives.
Not the last role is played by the viscous characteristics of oils. We will analyze the value of numbers on the example of oil 80W90:
- 80 - viscosity at low temperatures
- W - All-season
- 90 - Viscosity at high temperatures
If ATF is used, it is better to pour the original liquid recommended by the manufacturer or an analog that has appropriate tolerances.

Check Level
Most cars, to check the oil level in the distribution, viewing windows are not provided. Level control and replacement is carried out through the bay hole.
To check, you need to install the car on a flat surface and unscrew the bolt bolt or the control, if any. Usually they are completed under four or hexagon, or under the wrench. 
Normal is the level of just below the filling / control opening.
The need for replacement is determined by the fence of a small amount of oil. It is possible to do this with a syringe, with a flexible tube dressed. Black, muddy, with the traces of production to be replaced.
How to change
The replacement procedure itself is simple, but it is often complicated by the fact that access to the filling opening is difficult. Also required lift, observation pit or overpass.
Some motorists independently make a drain hole in the distribution in order to make it easier to make the procedure for a complete replacement of oil. To do this, the hole is drilled at the bottom point under the plug and thread rolls.
You will need:
- Special syringe for pumping technical fluids (cost of 500-800 rubles). You can use medical, but because of its small volume, the replacement process will significantly delay. What is more expensive - time or money, you decide.
- Oil for dispensing (transmission / ATF) recommended by the manufacturer or having the appropriate specification.
- Gasket sealant, degreasing fluid.
So that the dirt does not get inside the dispersion, you should clean the surface before unscrew the plugs.
There is a drain hole
If your car is equipped with a drain plug, you need to unscrew the bolt and wait for the total leakage of the oil. Magnet on the plug should be cleaned of wear products. Decrease the drain hole and cork, apply the sealant layer and screw the plug into place.
With the help of a syringe, fill with oil distribution until it is cleaned through the edge of the filling hole, then wrap the cork on the sealant.
No drain
In this case, all operations are made through the bay hole. The tube of the syringe and the oil is injected in the maximum possible amount. The fill procedure of the new oil is no different from the above.
At the factory, mineral oil is poured into the transmission of the Navy and the mineral water is also poured when planned, and not the highest quality. For the period of running the machine, this oil is better not to change, because the details are running on mineral package. After 10-15 thousand mileage, I recommend replacing the oil in the transmission on the semi-synthetic. Synthetics I do not recommend, as the glands can flow. Mineralka is worse than it is thick and frosts. As a result, while the machine does not warm the transmission, the machine is very heavy on the course and gears are hard.
The viscosity of the recommended transmission oil is 75W-90. I poured in my Niva semi-synthetic Lyqui Moly 75W-90. All nodes and aggregates require 5 liters of oil.
Transmission oil
Before replacing the oil, I advise you to ride on the car to heat the oil (warmed butter is better merged and it remains less) and immediately add drain plugs immediately. Drain plugs are shown in the drawings. After all the oil rolled, the drain plugs are twisted, the filler plugs are unscrewed and fresh oil is fastened to the level of the fuel holes. For the bay, the oil is better to use the filler syringe.

The cost of the work carried out 2000 rubles. After replacing the oil, the machine has become very easy to move and, as a result, the fuel consumption has significantly decreased, especially in winter. Therefore, all expenses are compensated by the cost of saved gasoline. I think for the new machine, these works are simply necessary. Good luck!
Periodically during operation, according to the technical inspection card, it is necessary to replace the oil in the transfer box by car VAZ NIVA 2121 and 2131. To perform repair work, prepare a standard set of tools, after which the car is driving to the observation pit, a hoist or lifts. Also before replacing, oil in the distribution must be warm up, for this it is worth driveing \u200b\u200bat least 10 km.
Work
After that, do the following sequence of actions:
Prepare an empty container, after which hexagon key to nineteen unscrew the drain plug of the cutter crankcase and drain the oil. When working, be careful because the oil is hot.
On the drain plug there is a magnet for collecting metal chips and another garbage, clean it, then wrap the plug in your place.
Now we have a hex key on twelve, unscrew the plotting cork and the technical syringe pour into it new transmission oil.
Oil must be treated to a level when it will correspond to the bottom edge of the filling neck. Then tighten the cork.
And at the final step, it is necessary to clean the Sapun, which is located on the side of the rear cardan shaft.
All-wheel drive monster Niva Chevrolet works correctly, you only need to follow the instructions, to spend the difference in time, follow the volume of oil in it, as well as change all technological fluids.
The pride of the domestic auto industry is the Niva Chevrolet. The manufacturer has released a truly chic car, in its characteristics not inferior to expensive counterparts. For off-road, ride on nature, fishing, hunt - better not to find a car.
How to change the oil?
How to independently replace technological fluids in Niva Chevrolet? To do this, you need to purchase high-quality oil, which recommends the manufacturer. All required volumes are indicated in the instructions for the car. For beginners, the replacement process will seem difficult, but in fact it is not so.
The choice of oil for the all-wheel drive car is a very important point, the service life, extension of parts and the operation of all dispensing mechanisms are depended. You need to buy fluids that recommends a manufacturer or proven, well-known brands. For different times, there are its own types of oil, they differ in viscosity and adapted to operation at a certain temperature.
If the car is purchased used, it is better to immediately check the level of all fluids and replace them.
What oil to use in the transmission?
You can not mix different types of oils. By viscosity, it is better to choose a liquid with the following labels: 75W - 90; 80w - 85; 80W - 90. Manufacturers who have proven themselves and release stamps that are suitable for an SUV. The transmission oil must be high, the maintenance of all mechanisms in the field of Chevrolet depends on this.
For replacement, it will be necessary: \u200b\u200bhexagon by 12, wrench wrench at 17, rag and tank for spent material. Next, you need to unscrew the filler plug, and after the drain.
When the liquid came out, clean the holes with a cloth and pour the cleansing fluid to the top.
How much can oil for dispensing?
If the machine is new, it should be changed in 50 - 70 thousand km. If the mileage is over 120 thousand km, the replacement in the distribution must be carried out at least every 45 thousand km.
In order for the car to light up longer, it is better to do a little more often, a lot of dirt is collected in the spent oil, which creates friction and, respectively, the parts wear out faster.
Optimally change the oil after the trip, when the difference distributor and fluid becomes more fluid. You need to prepare the necessary tool: hexagon by 12, key on 17, capacity for working out and rag.
Install the machine on the observation yam and unscrew the drain plug, substitute the capacity and wait until the entire spent fluid comes out. Unscrew the filler plug and check all valves for contamination. Clear traffic jams and holes, pay special attention to the magnet, inspect how much contaminants, it is possible to replace more often if a lot of metal chips should be carried out. After that, pour new oil into a distribution of 0.8 liters.
The dispensing box in the field is a very important mechanism for an SUV, it depends on its work as a car will cope in complex areas of the road.
Replacing oil in bridges
In order for Niva Chevrolet to work reliable and for a long time, it is necessary to monitor all technological fluids and replace it in a timely manner.
Required volume in the back bridge 1.3 liters. To replace oil in the front bridge, 1.15 liters will be required. It is better to change simultaneously.
In the conditions of normal exploitation of the machine, the replacement will be required every 40 thousand km. If the car often works on off-road and transfers heavy loads, the procedure must be carried out more often.
The front and rear axle in the Niva are very important elements of the entire mechanism. Fluids need to be selected according to the season, on the synthetic in the cold season, the car simply does not start. It is better to choose mineral or semi-synthetic materials.
For two bridges, it will take 3 liters of fluid. Preparation of auto is the same as when replacing transmission oil.
Before starting work, you need to warm up the car and make fluid more fluid, prepare a tool: hexagon on 12, capacity, filling syringe, key to 17, rag.
Further, everything according to the instructions: unscrew the plugs, drain the spent material, pay special attention to the magnet and plum. A large amount of dirt and chips sign that the procedure should be carried out more often. Carefully clean all the holes of the oil tank of bridges, it can be made by an ordinary cloth. Pour fluids and give a car to work if the oil is gone can add the required amount.
The procedure is simple and even a beginner can cope with it, but if there are fears or simply do not want to get dirty you can contact the nearest car service. It must be done regularly and not forget, each replacement of liquids must be recorded and marked at the current moment. If you just follow the recommendations of the manufacturer's problems with an SUV.
All-wheel drive cars gradually conquer increasingly love among car owners. This trend is connected with the best driving qualities compared to conventional machines. Drive on 4 wheels often helps in difficult situations on the road, especially in winter. Anyone knows that it is much easier to get out of the snow-covered area of \u200b\u200bthe road, go through the dirt outside the city or to ice, when the car spins all the wheels. And even better, when the four-wheel drive is combined with a mechanical transmission. Cars with 2WD and 4WD have one significant difference in structures - this is a handout.
1 What is a dispensing box?
In front-wheel drive vehicles, the torque on the semi-axis is transmitted directly by the gearbox, a cardan shaft and a gearbox are added to the rear-wheel drive. For a full drive, you have to use an additional unit - dispensing box. It is designed not only to force the front and rear axles to rotate, and also for the distribution of torque between them, depending on the current driving conditions.
Distribution designs in different models of cars can differ radically, but the appointment, principle of operation and the main elements of all the same. The main nodes of this unit are:
- leading shaft;
- inter-axis differential and locking mechanism;
- axis drives axes;
- chain or gear.
During the operation of the dispensing box, the details in it experience friction. Over time, they are inevitably wear out and come into disrepair. To reduce the negative effect of friction in the distribution, a transmission fluid is used. It also has a property to grow old and lose its properties. Therefore, in order to extend the life of the unit on as far as possible, the replacement of lubricant in it should be performed regularly.
2 When can change the oil in the distribution?
The frequency of replacement of the liquid in the distribution depends on the car model. The automaker in the instruction manual always gives recommendations on run, when the transmission replacement should be replaced. But not only these recommendations should be relying. It is necessary to take into account the real operating conditions of the car. If it is often subjected to high loads, the lubricant is experiencing overheating and impact on the molecular level. As a result, it is flawed faster and is subject to a change before the deadline.
About premature replacement should be immediately thought if there are suspicions in the fall of water in the distribution. It is possible to determine this if you just see the lubricant. To do this, it will be necessary to merge it a bit. If the liquid is foamed or inhomogeneous, then the water ingress occurred.
3 Selection of transmission fluid
What lubricant to pour into the transfer box? The answer to this question should be in the first place in the instructions. But this information is not always there. Therefore, car owners have to contact profile forums or blindly trusting masters for a hundred. You should not do the latter, you should always know what is poured into the aggregates of your car.
To independently determine the choice of transmission fluid, you need to figure out a little in their types. All transmissions are divided into their operational and viscous properties to classes.
The classification according to the API divides transmission fluids into the following types: GL1, GL2, GL3, GL4 and GL5. Relevant for passenger cars are fluids of the last two classes. The GL4 API lubricants are designed for aggregates working in difficult conditions, and the GL5 API is for harsh conditions with shock and variable load.
According to viscosity properties, lubricants are classified according to SAE and are designated by the corresponding indices. Summer indexes 80, 85, 90, 140, 250 and winter - 70W, 75W, 80W and 85W. Most often all-season lubricants are used, marked at once with two indices.
Below is information about poured oil into handouts of some popular models:
4 Oil replacement process in distribution
When the lubricant is defined, which you want to use - you can go to the replacement itself. Make it easy with your own hands on any car, as the processes are not fundamentally different. To change lubricant in the distribution, you need to prepare:
- transmission fluid in the amount that is covered in the distribution;
- a set of keys;
- capacity for draining liquid;
- large syringe with a flexible tube.
Before starting the replacement process, the distribution must be warm up. Usually, a high viscosity lubricant is filled, which at ambient temperature has bad fluidity. Warring, it will flock faster, which will give the opportunity to get rid of it at the maximum. To do this, it is enough to go a couple of kilometers.
Machine you need to drive into the pit and install strictly horizontally. This is very important, since only in this position it will be completely merged with old lubricant and pour a new one to the desired level.
There are two plugs on a transfer box. One to drain the oil, the other is for the fill. The first is always unscrewed plug. Such a sequence should be observed because often this cork carbs. If it fails to unscrew it, and the lubrication will already be merged - then it will be very difficult to pour it.
Now you can unscrew the drain plug, substituting the container before it. While the old fluid flows, you can do a plug cleaning. It has a magnet that collects the resulting chips. Cleaning needs to be done with a vet so as not to damage your hands.
When the lubricant is fully stroke, you need to spin the drain plug in place. The new transmission fluid is visible in the syringe and through the open hole is poured into the distribution. It is done until the fluid starts flowing back.
To end the replacement process, the fuel plug should be screwed into the previous place.
Replacing the oil in the distribution is pretty simple. This work can even make a newcomer. The whole process takes some time, therefore it is advisable to replace lubricants at once again and rear bridges.
