Engine oil in the gearbox VAZ 2110. What gear oil to fill in the manual transmission? Types of lubricants, their characteristics
Today, about 95% of all gear oils available on the car market consist of all-weather components. In addition, in order to know the VAZ 2110, you need to understand numerous brands and manufacturers, which makes it difficult for a motorist to choose. In any car shop, the owner of a VAZ 2110 can find at least two dozen types of oils that are suitable for his car. But not every motorist knows what nuances to consider when buying a liquid.
[ Hide ]
What is the best oil to use?
The main factor when buying a transmission fluid is not the choice of the manufacturer's company, but the selection of the original fluid directly. The market is teeming with fakes, so the choice of oil (MTF) must be approached with the utmost care, since counterfeit products can only harm the VAZ 2110 gearbox. claims could be made.
Next, consider which MTF is better to pour into the gearbox (gearbox) according to the properties of viscosity and operating temperature. It is recommended to select oil for the box of your "iron horse" based solely on climatic conditions and the time of year in which your vehicle is currently being used.
Draining oil from the box VAZ 2110
The main factor for replacing the transmission is the deterioration of its working properties during operation. From the instructions from the manufacturer it follows that the replacement is carried out at a run of every 30 thousand km. In addition, when using a low-quality product, there is a possibility of noise in the box or an unpleasant sound when shifting gears.
Now let's talk about which MTF is better to pour into - synthetic, mineral or semi-synthetic. It has long been known that “semi-synthetics” work much more efficiently than “mineral water” and “synthetics”. "Semi-synthetics" is a compromise solution, since its working properties are better than those of mineral, and it is cheaper than synthetics. Also, such a liquid is more suitable for using a car in a temperate climate:
- the main advantage of "semi-synthetics" is high lubricating properties;
- larger operating temperature range.
GL-4 is suitable for gearboxes of VAZ vehicles with front-wheel drive, in particular, for model 2110.
Shelving with car oil in a car shop What tools do you need to prepare?
Before proceeding to direct replacement MTF at the VAZ 2110 checkpoint should prepare everything that you may need. This must be done in advance so that at any time you have everything you need at hand. So, you will need:
- set of wrenches;
- lamp for inspection of the bottom;
- container - plastic or metal (used oil will be drained into it);
- rubber gloves (hands in oil are very difficult to wash);
- 5 liter canister;
- rags or newspaper.
And, of course, the liquid itself. Having prepared all this, you can begin to replace it.
Step by step replacement instructions
Due to the location of the MTF drain hole in the gearbox, its replacement is possible only in a pit or on a flyover. Care must be taken when draining the oil, as its temperature is very high, and if it comes into contact with the skin, it can cause burns.
Unscrewing the drain plug of the gearbox VAZ 2110 - If you change the fluid in the gearbox, then first of all you should warm up the car to allow the thickened oil to take on a more liquid state, since all the fluid will not leak out of the cold box.
- Next, we drive into a pit or overpass, wait 5-10 minutes for the box to cool down a bit.
- We substitute a container under the liquid drain hole and, using a wrench, carefully unscrew the nut to drain the MTF.
- If the used fluid contains metal dust and other dirt, the gearbox will have to be flushed. To do this, you need to raise the front wheels, and then pour a special flushing liquid into the crankcase of the box and start the car. We turn on the first gear and let the car run for 2-3 minutes.
- Then we turn off the car, lower the front wheels and carefully drain the flushing fluid in the same way (p. 1 - 3).
- Changing the oil in the box is a laborious process. You should wait for some time so that the filled mixture drains completely from the box.
- We take the purchased MTF and start pouring it into your gearbox in the required amount and check the level. If everything is normal, you need to make a short trip and check the level again, top up if necessary. When checking the level, the car must be in a strictly horizontal state.
Checking the MTF level in the VAZ 2110 checkpoint As you can see, the process of changing the gearbox fluid is not so complicated. Correctly performing all the actions, even an inexperienced driver will cope with this.
Important to remember! With the correct and timely oil change in the gearbox, you ensure trouble-free and long-term operation of your car.

And what kind of oil do you fill in the gearbox of your car? Maybe you have your own technology to replace it? Share your knowledge with our readers!
Welcome!
What kind of oil do you need to fill in the gearbox on the "Classic"? How much oil is in a box? These questions are asked to us very often, but not all people usually know the answer to them, and therefore, especially for such people, we will reveal these questions in more detail in the article.
What kind of oil should be poured into the box?
If we talk about cars of the “Classic” family with 4 and 5-speed gearboxes, then only a special transmission oil, which will lubricate all the gears that are in the box during their operation.
From what we read above, we understood that only gear oil is poured into the box, and what is the viscosity grade of this oil and what group should it be, you ask? For classics, the oil group must be either "GL-4" or "GL-5". And the viscosity class should have the designations "SAE75W90", or "SAE75W85", or "SAE80W85".
What do all these designations mean and where are they located?
These designations are usually written on the boxes in which the oil is located, and they mean the viscosity class of this oil and the group to which this or that oil belongs, we will analyze in more detail:
GL-4 - these oils contain a high content of additives. Basically, this type is used only on vehicles with speed gearboxes that operate at high speeds but with low torque, as well as at low speeds but with high torque.
GL-5 - these oils are designed for use in "Hypoid gears - these are gears in which two gears rotate at an angle, see an example of such a gear in the photo below." At the moment, on the classics, the hypoid gear is only in the gearbox, and therefore, as you already understood, only oils of the GL-5 group must be poured into the gearbox. But also this group of oils has found its application in the box, but basically such a group is used only for a box that constantly works in difficult operating conditions.
SAE75W90 is, as such, an oil viscosity class, namely, this abbreviation implies that the oil is semi-synthetic or simply synthetic, such oil is also called all-weather oil, because if you look at the numbers at which the oil either freezes or boils, then these numbers come out beyond +35 and -40, in connection with this, such oil can be used on cars that are operated in Russia, because such a climate for our country is considered practically the norm.
SAE75W85 - this viscosity class is also used for the so-called multigrade oils, and the temperature at which the oil will solidify goes beyond -40 and should not exceed +45, otherwise the oil may boil.
SAE80W85 - and the last type of oil viscosity, 80W-85, which boils at degrees above +35 and does not freeze up to -30 degrees.
How much oil is included in a box on a classic?
Many people are used to asking this question in this form, but in fact this is an incorrectly posed question, because the oil is in the gearbox crankcase as such, and therefore it would be correct to ask your question in this way: “How much gear oil will go into the gearbox crankcase? »
In fact, this is not so important, all the same, the essence remains one, so let's move closer to the answer to the question posed, but it will sound exactly like this: If a 4-speed gearbox is installed on the car, then only 1 .35 liters of transmission oil, and if the box is 5-speed, then all 1.6 liters!
Tell me, please, but the opinions differ among sales assistants in stores and among my friends motorists.
The question is: "what kind of oil is better to fill in the transmission box in the VAZ 2110 (in my case, 21102) - mineral, semi-synthetic or synthetic" The fact is that there are opinions that synthetics corrode Our, domestic, oil seals. Your opinions or based on experience - tell me. I want to change the oil. Just for the first time.
Does not corrode and seeps into the cracks
I have a different approach, a little outdated probably. It concerns the oil in the gearbox.
Liquid for the city, thick for the highway. At the 21103 itself, xs what is flooded there at the factory.
Doggy Le-a-zu
GL-4 groups only front-wheel drive, and the viscosity is of course the best 75W90 is synthetics 250-350 rubles a liter. It is liquid in winter, and when heated, it maintains a stable viscosity.
Castrol TAF-X,GL-4. Synthetic, excellent oil. About leaking seals, complete nonsense. It's been filled for five years and doesn't leak anywhere. Excellent operation of the gearbox even in very severe frosts, the gear shifts smoothly, without jamming. Long service life, I will change not earlier than 100-120 t.km. What else is needed? What is filled in at the factory, merged immediately.
About the leaks of the oil seals. Nonsense. and most sellers do not rummage at all. Pour expensive synthetics everywhere and you will be happy -)
Yes xs, at the expense of expensive synthetics they wrote in behind the wheel, such as it is intended for other checkpoints, the enemies say that they have different standards. in short, Lukoil gave 1st place there, then like Castrol, but the question is whether to believe their tests or not. people changed the clutch for me (VAZ 2112) and advised me to change the gearbox oil, and advised just lukoil ... current there, see there are 4 and 5, you need 4 in no case confuse !!!
"I apologize in advance, I just don't want to create a topic," but on the VAZ 2104 which one is better to pour oil into the checkpoint, only for more specific please, otherwise I didn’t change it at all
If I remember correctly the manual for the nine - there it is necessary at all engine oil pour.
Classic box and bridge lei 80w90
in bridge HD 80w90
box GX 80w90
you can, of course, take a larger viscosity of 85w140, but in winter, the frozen "kazinak" will not be scrolled by any means.
in fact, for hypoid gears, which are gearboxes, the GL-5 group was created
The vast majority of boxes do not have a hypoid main pair. Conventional helical engagement. Therefore, GL-4 is the most. Life tests of GL-5 in VAZ front-wheel drive gearboxes did not show increased wear of synchronizers.
Engine oil was poured into the checkpoint back in those shaggy years, when there was nothing else. Now this is a perversion of the assembly.

Infantile Elephant
Of course, the transmission is one of the most important components of any car. It is thanks to the rotation of the crankshaft of the engine and the transfer of forces to the drive wheels. But like all other nodes, the checkpoint needs constant maintenance. And today we will consider what kind of oil to fill in the box and in what proportions.
Features of VAZ checkpoints
With the advent of the “eighth” and “ninth” families in the 80s, many car owners were perplexed by the fact that engine oil could be poured into the transmission of these models.
Such originality was caused by a fundamentally new gearbox design, which worked exclusively on special fluids. But since there were quite a few such oils produced in the USSR, ordinary motor substances were poured into the checkpoint.
A bit of history
What lubricants were popular in the USSR? The most common gear oil at that time was TAD-17I. This tool was created specifically for helical and hypoid gears. However, for some reason, the TAD-17I turned out to be unsuitable for use at modern checkpoints. Its increased viscosity and special additives did not contribute to the complete formation of a film on the working surfaces of synchronizers.
In this regard, the alignment of the angular velocity of the gears and the clutch was not ensured. Therefore, the gears on the transmission of the "nines" were switched on with a very great effort, moreover, during the shift, a characteristic sound of seized gears was formed. All this not only created discomfort while driving, but also significantly reduced the resource of the gearbox, which led to its accelerated breakdown.
According to the state standard, substances of the TM-1 and TM-2 groups turned out to be more suitable oils for "nines", which ensured a longer resource and durability of gearbox parts. At the same time, the popular TAD-17I corresponded to the TM-5 standard, so it was simply impractical to use it on new transmissions, since the main pair on the "eights" and "nines" had not a hypoid, but a helical gearing.
What kind of oil to fill in a VAZ 2109 box? About the features of TM 5-9P
This continued until, in the early 90s (after 10 years of serial production of Samara), a new substance TM 5-9P was created for domestic transmissions. As practice has shown, on front-wheel drive vehicles, this oil provided the formation of a thin film on the teeth for almost 75 thousand kilometers. However, this resource was read after the checkpoint was run in (before this period, TM 5-9P changed once after 2-3 thousand kilometers).
What can be poured into the "nine" today?
With development automotive market In Russia, the number of manufacturers of gear oils is increasing every year. What kind of oil can be poured into the “nine” box now? Experts recommend purchasing substances for the VAZ 2109 checkpoint that correspond to API group GL-4. According to GOST, these can be TM-4 and TM 5-9P oils. According to the viscosity characteristics, it is better to focus on the choice of products with the following SAE marking:
- 75W-90;
- 80W-90;
- 80W-85.
That's what kind of oil to pour into the "nine" box is recommended by experts. It is these fluids that are most suitable for gearboxes of VAZ 2109 and VAZ 2108 cars. They have a very high resource and ensure the smooth operation of gearbox parts for several tens of thousands of kilometers.
How to replace gear oil on the "nine"?
We have already found out what kind of oil to fill in the VAZ 2109 box, now about how to replace it correctly. We note right away that it will take you no more than 15-20 minutes of free time, so there is simply no point in going to the service station.
So let's get started with the tools. In the course of work, we will need 10 and 17 millimeters, as well as a container for waste fluid. The latter can be made from an empty antifreeze or engine oil can - just cut one side of it with a knife.
Let's get to work. First you need to use a 10 mm wrench to unscrew the fasteners for protecting the internal combustion engine. They are under the front bumper. Next, using a screwdriver, unscrew the 2 protection bolts, which is located closer to the cabin.
Now we put our “modernized” canister under the car in a horizontal position and, using a 17 mm wrench, unscrew the drain plug. Please note that this part is under pressure and, together with the liquid, it may fall into the canister.
We wait until the old gear oil flows out, and we wrap the plug back. Next, put the engine protection in place and take the oil dipstick from the gearbox. The latter is located at the top of the checkpoint. To find out the oil level, you need to wipe the dipstick with a dry rag, reinstall it and pull it out again after 2-3 seconds. In this case, the vehicle must not be on a slope. Ideally, there should be no oil on the dipstick. If so, then you can safely fill in a new fluid in the checkpoint.
The norm of the amount of oil
How much oil to fill in the "nine" box? According to technical data, this figure is 3.0 liters for cars with a 4-speed transmission and 3.3 for cars with a 5-speed gearbox.
You need to fill in the oil with a small margin of 200-250 milliliters. In this case, the liquid level on the dipstick will be 4-5 millimeters above the “MAX” mark.
Where to fill the oil in the box? It should be poured into the same neck where the probe comes from. This completes the VAZ 2109 in the box. Everything, now you can start operating the car again!
So, we figured out how to replace it.
Statements that the VAZ 2114 car is very unpretentious, reliable and inexpensive vehicle, today no one doubts. The only condition for its uninterrupted operation is proper and regular maintenance. An important element of maintenance is the competent selection, as well as the timely replacement of lubricants for the engine and gearbox. The mistake of many motorists is that they often think about engine oil, but remember about transmission oil only when they hear extraneous sounds when shifting gears.
Such inattention can be too expensive, because the rattle and creak in the "box" usually means the appearance of very serious problems. How can this be avoided? Let's try to learn more about the features of the lubricant for the transmission, get acquainted with the manufacturer's recommendations for choosing it and note some of the nuances of servicing the VAZ 2114 gearbox.
Main types and parameters of materials
The fluids that can be used in the operation of the gearbox are divided into three categories:
- Mineral - made by refining oil. They have a high level of viscosity, can be used in units with a long service life.
- Synthetic - a product of chemical synthesis. More fluid materials, have reduced sensitivity to overheating and action low temperatures.
- Semi-synthetic - a mixture of "mineral water" and "synthetics" in certain proportions. They retain all the important properties of the constituent components.
The main parameter of the oil is its viscosity, which determines the degree of fluidity of the liquid, depending on the change in the temperature regime of the unit. All types of lubricants for gearboxes are necessarily saturated with additives that significantly improve their properties and extend the life of the mechanism. Additives, differing in a complex chemical composition, can resist the foaming of the liquid and the formation of "scoring" on parts. The composition and parameters of the mixture are very easy to find out - all detailed information about its characteristics must be indicated on the packaging.
Features of the choice of lubricants
The main factor when choosing oil for a gearbox is the design feature of the drive and transmission of the car. You should also pay attention to the following points:
- conditions in which the machine is operated - season, air temperature and climate of the region
- the degree and duration of the load that the vehicle units experience in various operating modes
- influence of additives on various transmission elements
It is these indicators that help determine the optimal viscosity and composition of the lubricating fluid, which is best poured into the mechanism.
What oil is suitable for the VAZ 2114 gearbox
This vehicle is known to be equipped with a front-wheel drive transmission. Such design feature allows you to reduce the load on the parts of the units and reduce their overheating. It is not required to pour any special lubricants into the “box”, it is enough to use liquids that have the GL-4 index according to the API classification (Russian marking - TM-4).
The vehicle operating instructions regulate the maintenance of the gearbox using the following types of oils:
- Synthetic oil brand 75W90 - has excellent lubricating characteristics, ensures uninterrupted operation of the unit in low temperature conditions.
- Semi-synthetic oil 85W90 - has all the necessary qualities, can be used in cars with high mileage. This lubricant somewhat reduces the noise level of the operating unit and is cheaper than synthetic counterparts.
- Mineral oil 80W90 - many motorists believe that it is better to pour this particular mixture into the VAZ 2114 "box". Its only drawback is exposure to low temperatures, at which the "mineral water" thickens and loses the necessary properties.
The final decision on which tool to choose remains with the owner of the car. The main thing to remember is that the lubricant for the transmission must necessarily meet the requirements of the unit.
- LUKOIL TM-4
- "NORDIX SUPERTRANS"
- "Lada Trans KP"
- SLAVNEFT TM-4
- "TNK 75W90"
If these brands were not “at hand”, then CASTROL or SHELL GETRIBEOIL of G-4 standard can be used as their replacement - more expensive varieties of good quality.
Lubricating fluid for the main element of the vehicle transmission system
Features of servicing the VAZ 2114 transmission
According to the car's operating instructions, the lubricant in its transmission should be changed after no more than 60,000 km of run. However, this does not mean that until that time you can not look into the "box". To avoid damage to the unit, experts recommend:
- Carry out regular measurements of the fluid level, during which it is necessary to check the lubricant by touch - if solid particles are present, then it must be replaced. This advice is especially true for new machines, where the details of the mechanism are still being “run in”.
- Pay attention to the smell and color of the lubricant. Black color and an unpleasant pungent odor indicate that the gear oil does not cope with its tasks or its poor-quality, fake counterpart is used.
- Remember that synthetic lubricants for gearboxes are characterized by increased fluidity. Their use provides for strict control of the condition of the seals of the unit (special attention - cars with significant mileage).
- Pour into the "box" only high-quality lubricants by purchasing them from trusted sellers, as there are already numerous cases of counterfeit products sold. Buying a fake can save two to three hundred rubles, but using it will lead to thousands of dollars in repair costs.
Advice! It is better to fill the lubricating fluid into the VAZ 2114 “box” just above the required level. The fact is that the gears of its fifth gear are located above the rest and often experience “oil starvation”.
Any car owner is able to check the level, assess the condition and change the oil in the gearbox - these tasks are not particularly difficult. Naturally, you can entrust this issue to specialists - everything will depend on your self-confidence, availability of free time, desire and necessary preparation.
