Motorists ask a huge number of questions about the repair and maintenance of cars. Any owner dreams that the car worked as reliable as possible over the years. This requires only timely maintenance. So, changing the oil in the VAZ-2114 engine is a mandatory procedure. You can perform this procedure with your own hands.
How much oil is needed?
As for the amount of grease, this indicator can be determined by the volume of your motor.
You can navigate by the amount of oil drained from the engine. For cars, models 2114 recommend about four liters. If you are
changing the oil in the VAZ-2114 engine, you must definitely control its level. A special probe is provided for this. For convenience, the marks of the maximum and minimum levels are marked on it. You need to pour so much that the level is between the maximum and minimum marks. If it will be less than recommended, add. If more, pump out the excess with an ordinary syringe.
When does it change?
You should know the reasons for which they understand that a replacement of VAZ-2114 engine oil is necessary. AvtoVAZ experts advise conducting this operation after 10-15 thousand kilometers. Naturally, it is taken into account that the machine is used in normal conditions.
Various factors can influence this period. These are the conditions in which the machine is used, the quality of the lubricant, the season, as well as the driving style. Well, now let's look at everything in order.
If the driver constantly travels around the city, is in traffic jams, and the motor is constantly experiencing heavy loads, then the replacement period becomes shorter.
Now to the question of the level of lubricant products. If the oil does not shine with quality, then this leads to a quick clogging of the oil filter. Engine lubricants accumulate in the lubricant. This requires a more frequent replacement.
The time of year is also important. In winter and summer, grease has different characteristics.
If the driving style is more dynamic, then the oil will also have to be changed much more often. If you purchased a used car, then changing the oil in the VAZ-2114 engine is a standard operation. Change the oil filter and flush the power system.
DIY replacement process
To start, you should warm up the engine. When the lubricating fluid is heated, it is characterized by increased fluidity. The fluid and wear products will slurry and come out with used oil. It is best to complete this operation after you arrive at the garage. A cold unit can be warmed to operating temperatures in just ten minutes.
What do we need
Changing the oil in a VAZ-2114 engine involves the use of a specific set of tools and materials. It is best and much easier if the machine is installed over a pit, on a flyover or a lift. As for the tools, prepare a key No. 17, replacement oil, a new filter, a tool for removing the filter, rags, gloves, a container for used grease.
Along with the grease, replace the oil filter, otherwise the fresh one will quickly become unusable.
How it's done?
So, install the car in a pit, overpass or lift. You will find a drain hole on the motor tray - install a pre-prepared container for draining. Unscrew the cork and be careful. You risk a burn from hot oil. All liquid will drain in about 10 minutes. It is best to perform this operation with gloves on. When all the drainage has poured out, clean the cork and replace it.
Next, replace the oil filter. You can remove the old one either manually or using a special puller. There is another way - just poke the case with a screwdriver and unscrew the filter. The place where it is installed should be cleaned with all possible care. Fill the new element with 2/3 oil and lubricate the rubber band. Twist it without tools, manually. Do not over tighten!
To fill in new oil, unscrew the filler plug and use a funnel to fill in fresh fluid. Then check the level with a dipstick. The engine has an oil level sensor. Sometimes it fails and shows incorrect values. Replacing the VAZ-2114 oil level sensor, if necessary, is very, very simple using a 10 key. The old one is twisted, a new one is mounted in its place. The procedure will take no more than five minutes of time.
Now start the engine for 10 minutes at idle. Let it work until the oil pressure lamp on the dashboard goes out. Measure the level again with a dipstick. If necessary, top up.
Oil change in a box VAZ-2114
In order for the car to work as stably and reliably as possible, it is also necessary to carry out a lubricant change in the gearbox. Why is it there, we will not tell, but we'll see how to replace it correctly. As with the engine, everything is done with your own hands right in the garage.
Where to find the gearbox?
Experienced motorists may not read this section. And for beginners, we say that the checkpoint in the Samara-2 cars is located in the engine compartment. Simply put, it is located immediately behind the motor.
When is the oil change in the VAZ-2114 gearbox
Such an operation should be carried out after 30 thousand km. Practice has shown that these requirements can be trusted. In general, depending on operating conditions, the frequency may be different. This is determined by the oil level. You need to check this indicator every 10 thousand km. The color is very easy to determine whether an urgent need for replacement. The waste product is black, possibly with metal dust.
As for the volume, for the second-generation Samara, which includes the VAZ-2114, it is 3.3 liters.
Replacement Tools
Changing the oil in the VAZ-2114 gearbox requires some tools.
This is a set of keys and
socket heads, a container for draining the working out, a watering can, an Allen key number 12, gloves.
Preparatory stage
Here you should find a flyover or pit. Naturally, before that you need to purchase a suitable gear oil. Before replacing, drive about 10 kilometers by car. This is done so that the lubricant warms up sufficiently and becomes more fluid.
If you notice that you are leaking from the checkpoint, then the leak should be eliminated.
Naturally, you can do without this, but then you have to periodically top up to the desired volume.
Change the oil in the gearbox
VAZ-2114 is equipped with all-wheel drive. The peculiarity of this model is that there are two drain plugs. You will find one in the crankcase, and the second is located in the differential housing. They are indicated by special designations.
So, unscrew both plugs and drain the grease into the container. Then plugs must be screwed back. It remains only to fill in a new transmission fluid.
This is done through the hole in the dipstick, which is located under the hood. Keep track of the level, no need to pour more than required.
Electronics
Novice drivers often trust a light bulb on the instrument panel that reports low oil pressure.
Before changing the fluid, it is better to make sure that the sensor is working. If necessary, the replacement of the oil pressure sensor VAZ-2114 can be done by yourself.
