Lada Granta is a budget vehicle that is produced by the Volzhsky car factory. Problems with the functioning of the Lada Grant may arise as a result of neglecting the rules for operating vehicles. The driver must pass MOT in a timely manner. When passing a technical inspection, it often becomes necessary to change the oil in the Lada Grant box. For Lada, you should choose fuel that will match the brand automotive system.

Lada Granta can be equipped with both automatic and manual transmission. In the first case, less fuel is required for the gearbox.

Checking the gearbox is relevant if there is an increased stroke of the lever or the activation of a particular gear is poor. These manifestations may indicate that the oil in the gearbox has lost its properties.

When is the oil change in the Lada Granta gearbox relevant? You can change the Lada Granta gearbox oil yourself or contact a service center.

On a number of generations of cars with cable drive there is a VAZ 2181 box, where the crankcase volume is 2.3 liters. It is recommended to add a new transmission to the checkpoint-2181 if the mileage has exceeded 70,000 km. This parameter can be reduced if the vehicle was operated in difficult conditions. Should you find out what kind of oil to fill in the box?

Application of gear oil

AT different trim levels Frets Grants there are various types of speed boxes. What gearbox oil should I use Lada Granta? Transmission oils for Lada Grant are widely represented on domestic market. For this vehicle it is better to fill in oil options such as Tatneft Translux, Rosneft Kinetic Service with a viscosity of 75W-85 (class GL-4). How much oil is in the box? Considering that the gearbox volume is 2.3 liters, approximately the same amount is required for this system.

Tatneft Translux Rosneft Kinetic Service

How to check the oil level? At Grant's gearbox, the oil level can be accurately determined using an item such as a dipstick. The oil level in the gearbox must not exceed the Max mark.

Oil change procedure

Stages of changing the oil in a box in Lada Granta (liftback):

1. The vehicle warms up to ensure optimum fluidity.
2. Lada starts up at the inspection hole.
3. It is necessary to remove the protection from the crankcase to open access to the drain hole.
4. The plug is unscrewed, the fuel is drained into a previously prepared container.
5. The control plug is unscrewed using a special key.
6. Oil should be added to the gearbox through the control hole. Disconnect the battery terminal.
7. To gain access to the switch, the filter must be dismantled.
8. Transmission fluid should be poured through a special funnel, which must be supplemented with a special hose.

The amount of fuel that needs to be filled in directly depends on the type of gearbox available. Better this procedure carry out with gloves, as it is possible to burn yourself with the transmission fluid.

When to change the oil in the box? It is worth contacting the TO station if there is a suspicious noise when driving. When the transmission overheats, a burning smell is indicated.

If the Lada is serviced correctly, the oil is changed in a timely manner, the need for repairs will not be required after a long time.

Thus, the quality of the filled fuel in the box directly affects the resource of the automotive system. The driver can check the oil level in the box with a dipstick, which is pulled out of the gearbox hole. In the Lada Granta manual transmission, approximately 2.3 liters of fuel should be poured. Changing the fluid in the gearbox begins with the removal of old grease. If the drained oil has changed color or become bad smell, it is advisable to flush the gearbox. The replacement process does not cause difficulties.

According to the instructions of the manufacturer of VAZ cars, it is recommended to change the gear oil in a Lada Granta car every 75,000 km or after 5 years of operation. This process is simple and even a novice motorist can handle it. From this article you will learn not only how to check the oil level in the Lada Granta checkpoint, but also how to replace it yourself.

automatic transmission Lada Granta

Changing the fluid in an automatic transmission is a little more complicated than in mechanics, but it will not cause any particular difficulties even for a beginner.

What oil to choose?

Let's say right away that the oil used in the Lada Granta automatic transmission does not need to be frequent replacements because its excellent operational properties guarantee the operation of the gearbox throughout the life of the car. This means that on a Lada car with automatic transmission transmission fluid replacement is necessary only when repairing the gearbox itself. Secondary use of transmission fluid is strictly prohibited! Currently on sale huge assortment various quality oils, which are suitable for automatic transmission Lada Granta, but the pros advise Genuine EJ-1 ATF (from JX Nippon Oil and Energy Corporation).

Be sure to remember! Wipe all parts of the machine box only with lint-free paper. Even the smallest foreign particles that get inside the box can cause irreparable harm to it, namely, there is a risk of clogging of the throttle holes, which in turn will lead to disruption of the entire automatic transmission up to its complete failure.

What tools will be needed?

1. key to "ten";
2. ring key for "nineteen";
3. hexagon on "five";
4. new oil for automatic transmission;
5. paper, only lint-free;
6. empty container.

Replacement steps

Fluid replacement work is best done on a special lift, but if not, then a garage is also suitable:

If you have a manual transmission

What is the preferred oil?

Manual transmission car Lada Granta

From domestic oils in the Lada Grant manual transmission, Lukoil TM 4 can be used. It is important to know that the viscosity class depends on the region in which the car is operated - 75W-(80, 85, 90), 80W-(85, 90).

What is necessary

To replace the manual transmission fluid, you will need:

1. the key to "seventeen";
2. oil for manual transmission;
3. funnel;
4. hose;
5. capacity, approximately 4 liters;
6. rag.

Replacement steps

As you can see, there is nothing complicated and these operations will not take much time and self-replacement transmission fluid will not only save money, but also save you from waiting in a long queue for a car service.

Oil change in automatic transmission

Before disassembling the procedure for replacing the Lada Granta automatic lubricant, we propose to consider the issue of the timing of the change and the choice of substance.

When is it time to change?

By official regulations in Lada Granta liftback cars or in another body change working fluid carried out after 75 thousand kilometers or after five years. It all depends on what happens first. After 5 years, the lubricant loses its properties, so if during this time the car has traveled less than 75 thousand km, the fluid still needs to be replaced.

In addition, it may be necessary urgent replacement oil, which will indicate:

• the occurrence of difficulties with switching the positions of the lever of the unit;
• not including one of the specific gears - first or last;
• noisy operation of the transmission, especially after starting the engine, when the engine has not yet warmed up;
• third-party sounds, noises due to faster wear internal details, for example, bearings.

Oil selection

To change operating oil in automatic transmission cars of this class with an 8-valve engine, you should choose quality liquid. Initially in production Vehicle the manufacturer fills in the checkpoint domestic cars a substance that meets the Dextron 2 or 3 standard.

To replace the lubricant in the Lada Granta gearbox, the manufacturer advises to fill in the standard lubricant Genuine EJ-1ATF. In our country, this oil is supplied by only one company - JX Nippon Oil and Energy Corporation. The AvtoVAZ concern does not recommend pouring liquid from other manufacturers.

Diagnostics of the liquid level and its required volume

Now let's look at how to check the lubrication level in the automatic transmission of Lada Grants. In vehicles with automatic transmissions, the substance volume meter is located under the air cleaner in engine compartment. It is impossible to remove the probe without dismantling the filter housing.

In order to check the oil level in the Lada Granta gearbox, do the following:

1. Stop the car on a level surface. Stop the engine.
2. Open the hood of the car, find the mounting location of the air filter device.
3. Remove its housing and set the cleaner aside.
4. Remove the gauge from the volume control hole and wipe it with a cloth.
5. Reinstall the dipstick, pull it out again. The lubricant level should ideally be between MIN marks and MAX. If there is less oil, we recommend checking the transmission system for leaks. By the way, the brand of gear oil allowed for use is sometimes indicated on the dipstick.

The classic Lada Granta automatic gearbox includes about 4.1-4.4 liters of working fluid on average. No more than 2.25 liters of lubricant is placed in AMT 2182 robotic transmissions.

User AkerMehanik provided a video that clearly shows how to change the substance in an automatic transmission.

Replacement tools

Before changing lubricant to 8 valvular grant, prepare the following:

• set of wrenches;
• ring wrench for 19;
• hexagon 5;
• fresh gearbox lubricant;
• lint-free paper;
• container in which you will collect used oil.

Action algorithm

The change procedure is as follows:

1. Climb under the bottom of the car and find the drain plug. The replacement procedure should be carried out on a warm, but not hot, engine. This will allow the oil to leave as much as possible. lubrication system. Place a container under the drain and unscrew the bolt using a 19 wrench.
2. After that, with a 5 hex key, unscrew the overflow cap. Wait until all used fluid has drained from the gearbox.
3. Close the overflow plug back and tighten the drain bolt. Before installation, check the condition of the seal, if it is worn out, it must be replaced. If a worn gasket is used, hydraulic fluid may leak.
4. The grease filling procedure is carried out through the level control hole. Remove the oil volume gauge and fill the gearbox with about four liters of working fluid, periodically monitoring its amount. When you achieve that the lubricant level is between the MIN and MAX marks on the dipstick, put it back and start the engine.
5. Carry out a test drive and stop the engine. Wait about 30 minutes, then check the volume of the substance inside the unit again.

The TRESH channel provided a video that describes in detail the procedure for changing the working substance in the Lada Granta automatic transmission.

What will the untimely replacement lead to?

If you do not replace the working fluid in the gearbox in time, this will lead to a deterioration in its operational properties.

Namely:

1. As a result untimely replacement oil, all parts will function in conditions of more high load which will cause them rapid wear and faults.
2. Bearings will fail first.
3. There may be extraneous sounds when the box is running, the unit will operate more noisily.
4. The transmission lever may vibrate, when the gears are turned on, sounds uncharacteristic for the operation of the gearbox will begin to be heard. Some gears will knock out after shifting.
5. It may be difficult to activate the gear lever in the first gear position.

How to change the lubricant in a manual transmission with your own hands?

Change oil in mechanical box with a cable, you can do it yourself.

How often does it change?

Life time lubricating fluid in mechanical units is also 5 years or 75 thousand kilometers. If the machine has passed this interval, the oil must be changed.

What oil is better to pour?

The manufacturer advises pouring only Lukoil TM-4 oil. This lubricant has passed all research and tests in AvtoVAZ laboratories and has been recognized by the manufacturer. Lukoil TM-4 lubricants with various types viscosity. Depending on the region in which the machine will be used, the consumer is provided with a choice of fluids of the 75W-80, 75W-85, 75W-90, 80W-85 or 80W-90 standard.

Checking the oil level and required quantity

On older mechanical transmissions with a cable drive, the oil gauge is located in the same place, in the engine compartment under the plastic housing of the air cleaner. If the gearbox is equipped with a dipstick, then you can see the level of the substance in the unit in the same way as on the automatic gearbox. But if your car is equipped with transmission number 2181, then such gearboxes are not equipped with meters. To check the volume of fluid, you will have to unscrew the control screw on the transmission unit. Ideally, the grease should be around the bottom edge of the hole.

The amount of oil depends on the type of gearbox. Mechanical units with number 2180 include about 3.1 liters of lubricant. About 2.2 liters of lubricant can enter the 2181 manual transmission.

User Oleg Zuyeff in his video showed how the oil is changed in the Grants cable-driven gearbox.

Preparing for a replacement

What to prepare for a lubricant change:

• wrench 17, it is more convenient to use a head with a tip;
• fresh lubricant for the gearbox;
• watering can or funnel;
• a hose with a syringe if your transmission is not equipped with a filler hole;
• a container in which the used lubricant will be collected;
• rags.

Stages of work

How to change the oil yourself:

1. Drive the car into a garage with a pit or onto a flyover. The fluid change process must be carried out on a warm, but not hot, engine. The machine must be on a level surface.
2. Raise the lever parking brake inside the car. Open the hood and loosen the screw on the negative battery terminal, then disconnect it. We recommend placing wheel chocks under the wheels of Lada Grants.
3. Climb under the bottom of the car and find the traffic jam drain hole on the transmission housing, evaluate its condition. If the area around the cover is dirty, then clean it with a cloth from dirt. This will prevent them from entering the vehicle's gearbox lubrication system.
4. Substitute a bucket or basin under the drain plug, and a cropped bottle will do. Unscrew the cap with a wrench and set it aside. When dismantling, please note that oil may splash out after unscrewing, so use gloves. The process of draining the working fluid will begin.
5. When all grease has been drained, reinstall the drain bolt. If the seal on it is worn out, it must be replaced.
6. After that, the bay is performed new fluid. For greater convenience, we recommend that you remove not only the body of the cleaning device, but also disconnect the clamps that fix the branch pipe of the expansion tank. Frame air filter must be dismantled or put aside.
7. Remove the dipstick from filler neck. Put a watering can in it. If there is no hole for the meter in your car, then install a hose in the control neck, to which you connect a watering can or syringe. Fill in with fresh liquid, constantly monitoring its volume. Start the car and make a control trip, after which again check the amount of oil. The level of the substance should normally be between the MIN and MAX marks on the dipstick.

What happens if you don't change?

Similar problems will arise as in the case of an automatic transmission.

Lada Granta is gradually becoming one of the most beloved and popular vehicles among the line from AvtoVAZ. But in order for the operation to be long and comfortable, it is necessary to monitor all the vital units of your iron horse, and in particular oil in the checkpoint. We will write about how to choose the right gear oil for manual transmission and automatic transmission on Lada Granta below in our article.

Refueling volumes from the instructions for the car

How often should the oil be changed?

This question is asked by many Grants owners. The answer is simple and lies in service book your car.

Old oil from the checkpoint Grants on a run of 50,000 km

According to the manual, the oil in a mechanical box should be changed every 70,000 kilometers or after 5 years of operation, whichever comes first.

With an automatic transmission, the situation is different, the manufacturer assures that transmission fluid poured there is designed for the entire period of use of the car. However, as follows from practice, you have to change the oil even there, at least after 80,000-100,000 kilometers, or 5-7 years of operation.

What oil to choose?

Referring to the same car manual, you can find out what to replace in mechanical transmission manufacturer recommends semi-synthetic motor oil Lukoil TM-4 75W-90 GL-4 (Viscosity class may vary depending on the region in which the vehicle is operated).


Also, some analogues have been certified:

• Kinetic (Rosneft) 80W-85.
• Translux (Tatneft) TM 4-12 - 75W-85.
• Trans KP (NovOil) 80W-85.
• Shell Spirax S5 ATE 75W-90.
• TNK Trans KP SUPER 75w-90.

One of the most common gearbox oil options is TNK Trans KP SUPER 75w-90

Please note that the viscosity grade of each brand may also vary depending on weather conditions region of use of the vehicle.

Filling in new oil

FROM automatic transmission everything is stricter, here the manufacturer has set strict limits and calls to adhere only to them. Oil filled from the factory Genuine EJ-1ATF* or Nissan ATF Matic-S; which should be filled at the next replacement.

*Oil manufacturer is JX Nippon Oil and Energy Corporation.

How much oil will it take to change?

Carter manual transmission holds - 3.1-3.3 liters of oil, and in the machine about 5.0-5.3 liters.

Conclusion.

Now that you know which oil to choose for your Grants, you can proceed directly to the replacement. It’s good that changing the oil in a manual gearbox and an automatic gearbox with your own hands is not a big deal today.

Every car needs lubrication. Oil in the gearbox has become an urgent issue for the car. Many car enthusiasts tend to believe that the gearbox does not need frequent lubrication, although this is a superficial understanding of the car in general and the laws of physics in particular.

Directions of mechanical action

You should think: why is oil needed? It has two main functions: lubrication (reducing friction between parts) and cooling. During the operation of the car engine, the parts of the gearbox constantly rub against each other. Metal particles will certainly leave the surfaces of the parts and fill the lubricant. Simply put, a large number of medium-sized particles appear in the lubricant, which increase friction. This leads to excessive heating of parts and their premature failure.

Both directions of impact are equally harmful to the car: friction leads to mechanical wear parts, and heating destroys the properties of the parts. Thermal expansion also increases the degree of compression of parts and their friction. It is lubricant that reduces harmful parameters.

How often do you need to change the oil?

To determine the end of the life of a lubricant, one should take into account not only the mileage, but also the time of its use.

It is recommended to change the gearbox oil after 70,000 km or after one year (whichever comes first). During the break-in period, the lubricant must be changed after a run of 45-50 thousand km. So, the gearbox will not suffer from an excessive amount of metal particles, which abundantly enter the oil in the first period (until all the parts are “grinded”).

The first question that motorists ask is: what oil to choose for the box? There is no universal answer to this question. The manufacturer recommends using lubricant for manual transmission certain brands taking into account the region where the owner of the car lives. But this does not mean that the recommended oil is the only one suitable for use.

Do not hesitate to contact a car service, where you will be advised which oil to use in your area, taking into account the prevailing weather conditions and the type of storage of the car. Note that Lada Granta is very unpretentious in terms of lubrication: a very wide range of lubricants is suitable for its crankcase and gearbox. is a more capricious mechanism, so changing the oil in the box requires a more balanced decision. The viscosity of the oil for such a box should be lower and strictly comply with the parameters recommended by the manufacturer.

How is the replacement carried out?

Carrying out a lubricant change in Lada is very simple. The main thing is to consider a few rules:

1. It is possible to drain the oil from the gearbox only after preheating, it is better to do this after a long trip.
2. The car must be in a horizontal state during the lubrication period, so do not use jacks to raise the front end and get under it comfortably.

Replace either in the pit or using a lift. To change the oil, you will need the following tools:

• key for 17;
• container for draining used grease;
• 4-liter canister of oil of the required brand;
• funnel;
• a pipe that can be connected to a funnel;
• rag.

We wipe the place where the drain hole is located with a rag, and unscrew the nut. The probe must be pulled out. Due to atmospheric pressure, the oil will automatically drain into a previously substituted container. We remind you that the oil in a heated gearbox has a high temperature, so care must be taken.

Filling in new oil: workflow

Wait until the oil drains and tighten the drain nut. Now you need to connect the funnel to the pipe and align its other end with the hole where the probe used to be. We fill the lubricant slowly, since the speed of its flow through a narrow pipe is not very high. Do not rush to fill the entire canister: the volume of oil in the gearbox ranges from 3.1 - 3.5 liters.

When approximately a little less than half the lubricant level remains in the canister, check. We wipe the probe with a rag and insert it into place. We take out the dipstick and observe the real oil level. This operation will have to be done more than once, since you need to achieve exactly the recommended level.

Lack of lubrication will lead to overheating of the gearbox, and an excessive level may cause the oil to begin to flow out of the gearbox during thermal expansion. hot engine which could ignite the vehicle. If you have achieved required level oil, insert the dipstick tightly into the hole. Changing the lubricant in the gearbox can be considered complete.

The nuances of an automatic transmission

Lada Granta can be equipped with an automatic transmission. The principles for changing the oil will be the same as mentioned earlier: the car is horizontal and the oil is warm. The machine differs in that the volume of lubricant for it is much lower (i.e., about 1 liter).

An automatic transmission oil change is carried out using other keys (by 19) and a hexagon.

The amount of used oil from the automatic box will be several times less due to the tightness of this unit

We substitute a container under the machine, wipe the place where the drain hole is located, and unscrew the nut. The oil will drain in a small amount: the machine is more airtight than, so you need to unscrew the nut, which is located at the top of the box.

Many motorists wash the Lada Granta automatic car from the remnants of used oil with kerosene or diesel fuel. What is the trick here? A small amount of oil is saturated with metal particles faster, so even that small part of the lubricant that is on the walls of the box is already contaminated. The new oil will immediately receive a certain amount of "additives" and will no longer be able to work with the planned parameters.

How is old oil flushed?

It is up to you to decide whether it is worth flushing the machine on the Lada, but just in case, we remind you that flushing is done as follows: the drain plug is wrapped, the machine is filled washing liquid, after that it is necessary to start the engine and switch the speeds of the automatic transmission. Then we turn off the car, unscrew the plug and drain the liquid. For high-quality washing the procedure is repeated 2-3 times.

We let the liquid drain completely and wait a few minutes for the machine to dry from the inside. Now you need to wrap the drain plug, fill the machine with oil according to the same principle as for a manual gearbox. After filling the oil into the Lada Grant car, it is necessary to check its level again.

Let the car run (without a heavy load) for a short time and pull out the dipstick again. If the oil level is optimal, then you did everything right.
