We warm up the engine, warm oil will drain faster. We put the car on a jack and remove the right front wheel.

We find the drain plug and place a container under it to drain the waste. Unscrew and drain. At the end of the process, install the plug back.

Changing the oil in the engine of a VAZ-2112 car

It’s stupid to turn to the experts for every reason. Of course, when the procedure is too complex, requiring deep technical knowledge and the availability of the necessary tools on the part of the performer, then the desire to seek help and support from experienced specialists will be understandable. If you have to perform simple manipulations, you don’t need to foolishly waste money, fearing that you won’t succeed. After reading our recommendations, you will not only figure out how much oil you need to pour into a VAZ-2112 engine with 16 valves, but also increase your level of self-esteem, making sure that you have climbed a step higher and are closer to real mastery.

Getting ready for replacement

Before changing the oil, carefully read several recommendations that all masters adhere to.

The lubricant should be drained after a short trip, when the power unit has not yet cooled down, because warm oil has better fluidity, which means it can be drained more.
If the engine is cold, it is necessary to warm it up to 80C.
It is advisable to fill in the same oil that was poured into the engine before.

Engine VAZ 2110

How much oil should I pour?

Before changing motor lubricant, many drivers have a question about how much oil should be poured into the VAZ 2110 engine. Here opinions differ a little, because some of the oil remains in the system, and some drivers prefer to pour oil up to the MAX mark, while others prefer to pour a little less. There are also power units with 8 valves, and others with 16. But on average, this figure ranges from 3.2 to 3.5 liters. Therefore, you need to buy a four-liter canister - this amount will definitely be enough.

Which motor oil to choose?

When changing the oil, you can immediately replace the oil filter. Therefore, when buying oil in a store, do not forget to purchase an oil filter of the same type that is installed in your car.

Oils are divided into 3 types:

synthetics;
semi-synthetic;
mineral water

It is very important to determine exactly what kind of oil your engine needs:

Which manufacturer is better to choose?

Advice: You should not fill your VAZ 2112 with expensive oil, which is synthetic. This is a new oil that is used in modern foreign cars with complex mechanisms. The best option would be semi-synthetic

Opinions about transmission manufacturers differ greatly; some support domestic manufacturers, while others, on the contrary, rely on the recommendations of well-known car factories. Which gear oil is better, and which one you choose, depends only on your personal point of view and the ability to evaluate and listen to the advice of experts.

Liqui Moly;
Castrol;
Mobil.

The AvtoVAZ fan club supports both a selection of reputable brands and Russian manufacturers, for example, Rosneftekhim, Lukoil, Rosneft. In any case, the choice of high-quality gear oil for the VAZ-2112 gearbox occurs through a long selection process, where each car owner goes through a long journey of testing and experimentation.

Change of oil

Any business requires good theoretical preparation. We all begin to learn something in this life sooner or later. Only those who teach, and do not throw aside the proposed recommendations, gain insight. We are confident that you will be able to carefully read our advice and subsequently, no worse than experienced specialists at a service station, replace the oil fluid on a VAZ-2112.

Oil change intervals

If you are just a novice car enthusiast, you are unlikely to understand how to distinguish used oil from new one. Such knowledge will be useful if you purchased a car, and the former owners informed you about the recent change of engine oil, but you still doubt the veracity of such information.

The new oil has a light color, but the used oil already contains traces of combustion, which cause the oil fluid to darken. Accordingly, the darker the motor fluid, the older it is, the longer it is used. Of course, you should hurry to get rid of such processing so that your engine does not become unusable.

The frequency of oil change is influenced by several factors:

general technical condition of your car’s engine;
service life of the equipment after the last replacement;
weather;
type, technical parameters of the oil that was last poured into the engine;
frequency of vehicle operation;
quality of road surface;
driving style;
the quality of gasoline or diesel fuel used to refuel the car.

Most experienced car owners strongly recommend changing the oil on a VAZ-2112 at least once a year. In this case, your vehicle will simply “fly” along the highway, and the engine will work flawlessly and absolutely quietly, giving you pleasant emotions.

Checking the oil level and condition

We recommend looking under the hood not once a year, but much more often. It may happen that the oil begins to leak. You may not notice this initially, but the leakage of drop after drop will already provoke a certain amount of loss. It is dangerous when the oil level in the engine falls below the minimum level. The amount of lubricant will simply not be enough to cool the rubbing parts, provide excellent lubrication and prevent abrasion.

We recommend checking the oil level in the VAZ-2112 engine periodically. Simply lower the dipstick into the hole, and then after removing it, check where the oil mark is located. To make it easier to examine, we recommend wiping the dipstick with a rag first. So, if the oil trace suddenly appears below the minimum mark, do not operate your car under any circumstances until you have made up for the identified deficiency. Just add the missing amount into the filler hole.

We would like to warn you about one very important detail, if you ignore it you could commit a huge stupidity. Only fill in the oil that you previously poured in. If you have purchased a car and have absolutely no idea what is poured into the engine of your VAZ-2112, you are taking a risk, since some types of oil fluid, when mixed, enter into a chemical reaction, releasing substances harmful to the engine. For this reason, it is much easier to replace all the oil than to risk damaging the engine.

Choosing engine oil

In cases when the time has come to completely change the engine oil, you will first have to visit an auto store and purchase new oil and an oil filter. The auto shop can offer you:

mineral oil;
semi-synthetic;
synthetic.

Mineral liquids have a high viscosity and have the advantage of being affordable. However, such oil does not allow the vehicle to be used for a long time without undergoing another replacement. With this choice, it is recommended to change the oil fluid after a run of 4 thousand kilometers. Semi-synthetic oils allow the engine to warm up faster in winter. It is necessary to change the oil after six thousand kilometers.

If you are in love with your car, do not spare your financial savings for it, buy the most expensive synthetic oil, which has the best technical characteristics and allows you not to replace it until the eight thousand mileage.

Getting ready for replacement

Now all that remains is to carefully prepare for the upcoming procedure. To ensure that nothing interferes with achieving the result, it is very important to have all the necessary tools at hand. This does not mean that you will need to incur serious financial expenses by purchasing a lot of small things. We are sure you already have some of what you need. The rest of the material can be purchased. So, you will need:

open-end wrench (size “17”);
oil filter puller;
screwdriver;
rags;
container, the volume of which must be at least 4 liters.

Changing the oil on a VAZ 2111 engine

Note! Changing the oil should be done with the engine warm so that the oil drains well.

Let's start changing the oil and start by draining the old one:

Unscrew the oil filler plug.

This is what a traffic jam looks like

The engine protection (if one is installed on the car) usually has a slot for the sump drain plug. If this slot is not present, the protection will have to be removed.
After ensuring normal access to the drain plug, use a 17 key to unscrew it.

Unscrew the drain plug

We unscrew the plug smoothly, while simultaneously placing a waste container under the drain hole. Since the oil is hot, it is safest to wear rubber gloves. And don’t even think about accidentally exposing your face.
Then you need to wait until the oil drains from the engine. This procedure usually takes about 5 minutes.
In the meantime, the oil is draining, you can begin the process of replacing the filter.
The filter is usually easy to remove. So, it is often removed simply by manual effort. To prevent your hands from slipping, you can use gloves, a handy rag or a piece of sandpaper.
If this does not help, you can use a special oil filter puller. It is very simple and intuitive to use.
If one is not available, then you can simply pierce the filter with a screwdriver and unscrew it.

Pay attention to the seat of the oil filter. The rubber sealing ring from the old filter should not remain on it. If there are parts of it left, they must be removed with a knife and wiped with a rag.

You need to add some oil to the new filter. You also need to lubricate the rubber ring on the filter.
After which the filter is simply screwed back on by hand. Remember - WITH YOUR HANDS! Do not tighten the new oil filter using a puller - otherwise you will not be able to remove it after 10 thousand km.
Here is the filter installed. In the meantime, the oil has already drained and you can screw the drain plug back in.

Flushing! If you are planning to flush the engine, you must first drain the oil and tighten the plug. Then rinse the engine, drain it again (the last point in the instructions on the bottle of flushing agent) and only then change the filter!

Reinstall the protection.
Now fill the oil through the filler neck. For convenience, we use a funnel.
We control the oil level using the oil dipstick. It should be between the min and max marks.

Then tighten the plug and you can start the engine.

Starting the engine is a simple process. After the test run, you need to check the following:

Is the oil pressure indicator light on?
Are there any leaks in the drain plug or other parts of the engine? If there is, eliminate it.
Check the oil level and add to the required level.

Feel free to hit the road and don’t forget to change the oil again after 10 thousand kilometers! We hope that this article, along with the photo, will help you change the engine oil yourself. Watch the video for better clarity. Take care of your car and yourself!

Do-it-yourself oil change in a 16-valve VAZ-2112 engine (+ video)

VAZ hatchbacks of the 2112 family were produced with one of two 16-valve engines: 21120 and 21124. The volume of these engines is different, and they even differ in appearance. But if the engine design has 16 valves, then changing the oil on a VAZ-2112 will take 15 minutes. The point is that the oil filter will be accessible from under the hood. And we will change this filter.

Tips for choosing an oil filter are presented in the video:

labavto.com

One of the conditions for the uninterrupted operation of the power unit and the long service life of its components and parts is high-quality lubricating fluid. Therefore, it is necessary to periodically change the engine oil and oil filter. The procedure is simple, so even a novice car enthusiast can handle it using detailed replacement instructions.

How often should you change your oil?

In the operating instructions, the manufacturer recommends changing the engine oil every 8-10 thousand kilometers or a year of operation. But this period is reduced if the car has difficult operating conditions. These include:

driving in the city, when you have to stand in traffic jams, the engine idles for a long time;
low temperatures at which the viscosity of the lubricant increases, which increases the load on engine parts and components;
off-road driving, especially on dusty, sandy roads.

The lubrication life is affected by the driver's driving style. If the vehicle is idle for a long time, condensation collects, which enters the oil fluid and changes its characteristics.

In order for engine parts and components to last a long time, you need high-quality lubricating fluid. The need for replacement is indicated by the color of the lubricant. It becomes dark in color because residues from fuel combustion enter it. They worsen the performance characteristics of the oil.

All steps to change oil for engine “21120”

We change the oil with the engine fully warmed up. First, engage the handbrake and unscrew the neck plug. Then remove the plastic cover.

Fastening – 4 metric screws

Possible options: fastening with screws (key “10”) or with rubber bands. In the second case, simply move the lid up.

There is a plug on the bottom of the oil pan. It is unscrewed with a 17 key. First you need to substitute an empty container.

Replacing the oil receiver VAZ 2112

Attention: If there is no operating oil pressure in the engine even after changing the oil in your VAZ 2112. When the internal combustion engine is running at idle or under load. Which is reflected on the instrument panel by a never-fading red lamp with the image of an oil can. Your car may need to replace the VAZ 2112 oil receiver or replace the oil pump. You have two options - either go to a car service center and leave your “swallow” there for at least half a day, and pay a decent amount for the work. And the second option is to do everything yourself, and besides, there is nothing super complicated there.

If the red light does not go out, which indicates a lack of pressure in the system, then do not rush to change the pump. First, check the wiring to the pressure sensor. Then check whether the sensor itself works: unscrew it and check if it is lubricated and dry. If the sensor is dry, the oil pump is malfunctioning, and if it is lubricated, change the sensor.

Choosing motor oil for each owner is always not so simple, since you have to choose among numerous products, different brands and manufacturers, which are now a dime a dozen. In the spare parts store alone you can count at least 20 different types of oils that are suitable for the VAZ 2112. But not every owner knows what to look for first when buying oil for the internal combustion engine of a car.

Replacement

There are two ways to change the oil:

- oil change with engine flush

after draining the old oil, the flushing oil is poured in and the machine runs for about 10 minutes after the flushing oil is drained and new engine oil is poured in (the downside is that residual flushing oil remains behind, which can ultimately negatively affect the operation of the engine) Since the flushing oil will subsequently be mixed with the working oil , and the tasks and properties of these oils are different, which accordingly will not affect the performance characteristics for the better.

- oil change without flushing the engine

after draining the oil, new engine oil is immediately poured in (minus the remains of the old engine oil with combustion products are mixed with the new oil, thereby reducing the service life of the oil)

The following is the oil change process with specific illustrations of how to perform certain operations:

PROCEDURE FOR CHANGING ENGINE OIL AND OIL FILTER

We change the oil with the engine fully warmed up. It is advisable to carry out the work on a lift or inspection ditch. Unscrew the plug from the filler neck. This will prevent the formation of a vacuum in the upper part of the engine and ensure the best flow of oil.

Using a 17 key, unscrew the oil pan plug and drain the oil into a container with a volume of at least 4 liters. Perform this operation carefully as the oil may burn the skin of your hands. It is best to unscrew it using a wrench with a handle (socket or open-end) and allow the unscrewed plug to fall into the container for drained oil and subsequently, when it cools, catch the plug. The duration of draining the oil is at least 10 minutes or until the oil drains from the crankcase.

We unscrew the oil filter using a puller (for clarity, the operation was performed while disassembling the engine).

If there is no oil filter remover, you can use a screwdriver or an awl. The filter housing is punched perpendicular to the fitting in the filter in a convenient place and unscrewed by rotating the handle of the device used. We also allow the oil to completely drain from the engine fitting.

Before installing a new oil filter, fill it with new engine oil to approximately half capacity and lubricate the filter O-ring with engine oil. This will prevent air from the lubrication system when starting the engine after changing the oil.

Then we tighten the drain plug on the engine crankcase using a key. The plug has a conical self-sealing thread and does not require the installation of any additional sealing gaskets.

...and the oil filter by hand without tools.

Pour in the rest of the oil. To control the amount of oil being poured, we use an oil level indicator (“dipstick”). The oil level should be 2/3 of the lower mark of the permissible oil level segment on the dipstick. Fill the oil slowly to prevent overfilling, constantly monitoring the level since due to high viscosity the oil level will rise slowly.

After filling the oil, tighten the oil filler plug and install the dipstick in place.

Let's start the engine. After the oil pressure warning light on the instrument panel goes out, stop the engine. Check the oil level again. Top up if necessary.

Oil filter

Before adding fresh oil to the engine, you must first replace the oil filter.

1. Unscrew the old oil filter using a special wrench. If there is no special key available, and the filter cannot be unscrewed by hand, then pierce its body with a screwdriver and, using it as a lever, unscrew the filter. Punch it closer to the bottom so as not to damage the fitting on the engine.

2. Fill the new oil filter with up to half of the engine oil and install it on the engine, having first generously lubricated the rubber sealing ring with oil. After replacing the oil filter, you should begin pouring fresh oil into the engine.

3. Unscrew the oil filler plug and insert a funnel into it.

4. Fill the car engine with fresh oil, guided by the level indicators on the oil dipstick. The oil level indicator on the dipstick should be at about.

5. After filling the oil, the engine must be started for 2-3 minutes, then turned off and again checked the oil level on the dipstick. If necessary, add oil.

The correctness and timeliness of the procedure for changing the oil and oil filter in a car engine is guaranteed to ensure its trouble-free and long-term operation.

Differences in replacement for engine “21124”

On the VAZ-21124 engine everything looks simpler than on its younger brother:

The plastic cover is always attached with rubber bands;
The oil filter can be found in one second (near the catalyst on the right).

Follow all the steps we have listed above.

Receiver VAZ-21124 is a work of art

The oil dipstick is located between the second and third receiver tubes.

Materials and replacement regulations

For all 16-valve engines on 2112 hatchbacks, the volume of the lubrication system is no different. It is 3.6 liters. When replacing, pour 3.3, and if the filter is changed, then 3.4 liters (plus another 100 ml into the filter itself). The choice of material does not depend on the engine type.

On a working engine, the oil level between changes remains above the MIN mark. That is, they do not top up. In general, on the VAZ-2112, oil changes are performed once every 15 thousand km. The filter is changed at the same time.

The use of API SF oils on engines 21124 or 21120 is unacceptable. There are no such materials on our list.
