Oil change in engine VAZ-2114 the hands

Car enthusiasts ask a lot of questions about the repair and maintenance of cars. Any owner dreams that the machine will work as reliably as possible for many years. This requires only a timely and regular maintenance. So, oil change 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 lubricant, this figure can be determined by the volume of your engine. You can be guided by the amount of oil drained from the engine. For cars model 2114 recommend about four liters. If the oil in the VAZ-2114 engine is changed, it is necessary to control its level. A special probe is provided for this purpose. For convenience, it marks the maximum and minimum levels. You need to pour so much that the level is between the maximum and minimum marks. If it is less than recommended, top up. If more, pump the excess with an ordinary syringe.

When it is changed?

You should know the reasons why you understand that you need to replace the engine oil VAZ-2114. Experts of "AvtoVAZ" advise to carry out this operation through 10-15 thousand kilometers of run. Naturally, it takes into account that the machine is used in normal conditions.

For the specified period, various factors can influence. These are the conditions in which the machine is used, the quality of the lubricating product, the season, and also the manner of driving. Well, now consider everything in order.

If the driver constantly drives around the city, stands in traffic jams, and the motor constantly experiences heavy loads, then the replacement period becomes less.

Now to the question of the level of lubricants. If the oil does not shine with quality, then this leads to a quick clogging of the oil filter. The products of the engine work are accumulated in the lubricating fluid. This requires more frequent replacement.

The time of year is also important. In winter and summer, the lubricant has different characteristics. If the driving style is more dynamic, then oil will also have to be changed much more often. If you purchased a car with a mileage, then changing the oil in the engine VAZ-2114 is a standard operation. Another change the oil filter and rinse the power system.

The process of replacing oneself

To start, the motor should warm up. When the lubricating fluid is heated, it is distinguished by increased fluidity. The liquid and wear products form a slurry and come out with used oil. It is best to perform this operation after you arrive at the garage. The cold unit can be heated to operating temperatures in just ten minutes.

What we need

Changing the oil in the engine VAZ-2114 implies the use of a certain set of tools and materials. It is best and much easier if the machine is installed above the pit, on the overhead or lift. As for the tools, prepare a key number 17, oil for replacement, a new filter, a tool for removing the filter, rags, gloves, a container for used lubricants.

Together with the grease, replace the oil filter, otherwise the fresh one will quickly turn into an unusable one.

How it's done?

So, install the car on a pit, overpass or lift. On the engine pallet you will find a drain hole - install a pre-prepared container for draining. Unscrew the cap and be careful. You risk getting a burn from hot oil. All liquid will drain for about 10 minutes. It is best to perform this operation in gloves. When the whole workout runs out, clean the plug and fit it into place.

Next, replace the oil filter. You can remove the old one either manually or with a special puller. There is another way - just rummage 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 oil 2/3 and grease the rubber band. Twist it without tools, manually. Do not over tighten!

To fill a new oil, unscrew the filler cap and fill the liquid with a funnel. Then check the probe level. The engine has an oil level sensor. Sometimes it breaks down and shows incorrect values. Replacement of the oil level sensor VAZ-2114, if necessary, is very, very easy with a key for 10. The old one is twisted, a new one is installed in its place. The procedure will take no more than five minutes. Now start the engine for 10 minutes at idle. Let it run until the oil pressure lamp on the dashboard goes out. Again, measure the level with a feeler gauge. If necessary, top up.

Oil change in the box VAZ-2114

To make the car work as stable and reliable as possible, it is also necessary to replace the grease in the gearbox. Why it is there, we will not tell, but we'll see how to replace it correctly. As with the engine, everything is done by the hands directly in the garage.

Where can I find the gearbox?

Experienced motorists may not read this section. And for beginners, we say that the checkpoint in the cars "Samara-2" is located in the engine compartment. If to speak easier, it is just behind the motor.

When the oil change in the gearbox VAZ-2114 is performed

Such an operation should be made in 30 thousand km. Practice has shown that these requirements can be fully trusted. In general, depending on the operating conditions, the frequency can be different. This is determined by the oil level. You need to check this indicator every 10 thousand km. By color it is very easy to determine if a replacement is urgently needed. Spent black product, possibly with metal dust.

As for the volume, for the "second generation Samara", to which the VAZ-2114 belongs, it is 3.3 liters.

Tools for replacement

Changing the oil in the VAZ-2114 gearbox requires some tools. This is a set of keys and end heads, a container for drainage, a watering can, a hexagonal wrench # 12, gloves.

Preparatory stage

Here it is necessary to find a trestle or pit. Naturally, before this you need to purchase a suitable gear oil. Before you make a change, drive about 10 kilometers by car. This is done so that the lubricant is sufficiently warm 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 it, but then you have to periodically top up to the required volume.

We change the oil in the gearbox

VAZ-2114 is equipped with a full drive. The peculiarity of this model is that there are two drain plugs here. One you will find in the crankcase, and the second is located in the casing of the differential. They are indicated by special symbols.

So, unscrew both plugs and drain the grease into the container. Then the plugs must be screwed back. It remains only to fill in a new transmission fluid.
This is done through the hole in the oil dipstick, which is located under the hood. Keep track of the level, no need to pour more than necessary.

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 check the condition of the sensor. If necessary, the replacement of the oil pressure sensor VAZ-2114 can be made by yourself.
