What kind of oil should I use and how much?

VAZ 2110 owners often fill in semi-synthetic oils with a viscosity of 10W-40 or 5W-40 (there is no doubt that other viscosities are also poured, but these are the most popular). The only difference is that 5W-40 can be used down to minus 35 degrees and 10W-40 up to minus 30 degrees.

The choice of company is not important; you can take any popular “market brand”.

Mobil Super 2000 10W40
Valvoline Maxlife 5w-40
Total Quartz 10W40
Shell Helix 10W40
Eneos SuperGasoline 10W40
Mobil Ultra 10W40

How to change

We warm up the engine to 45-50 degrees. Warm oil has better fluidity and will drain better from the engine during a complete replacement. Our task is to remove as much as possible the old dirty and used fluid that no longer has useful properties from the engine and fill it with new one. If a lot of old dirty oil remains in the crankcase, it will be swept away with the new one and will worsen its beneficial properties. Warm up the engine for 5-7 minutes before starting, this will be sufficient.
For easy access to the drain plug (and in some models the oil filter is also attached from the bottom) and the bottom of the car as a whole, you need to jack it up or drive into an inspection hole (the best option). Also, some models may have engine crankcase “protection” installed.

We open air access to the crankcase by unscrewing the filler cap and dipstick.
Place a large container (equal to the amount of oil being poured).
Unscrew the drain plug with a wrench. Sometimes the drain plug is made like a regular “bolt” under an open-end wrench, and sometimes it can be unscrewed using a four- or hexagon. Don't forget to wear protective gloves, the oil will most likely wake you up warm, but you need to be careful.
We wait about 10-15 minutes until the waste flows into a basin or cut-off plastic canister.
Optional but very effective! Flushing the engine with a special liquid is not included in the maintenance regulations and is not mandatory - but. By getting a little confused, you will be much better at flushing out the old, black oil from the engine. In this case, wash with the old oil filter for 5-10 minutes. You will be surprised at the black oil that comes out with this liquid. This liquid is very easy to use. A detailed description should appear on the flushing fluid label.
We change the cleaning filter. The seat (the place where the filter is located) needs to be wiped dry with a rag to remove dust and dirt, and only then install a new filter pre-soaked in oil. Lack of oil in the new filter before starting the engine can cause oil starvation, which in turn can cause filter deformation. Overall this is not a good thing. Also remember to lubricate the rubber O-ring before installation.
Fill in new oil. Having made sure that the drain plug is screwed in and a new oil filter is installed, we can begin to fill in new oil using the dipstick as a guide. The level should be between the minimum and maximum marks. Also, you need to remember that after the first start of the engine, some oil will leave and the level will drop.
In the future, when the engine is running, the oil level will probably change; be careful during the first few days of operation. Recheck the oil level using the dipstick after the first start.

Do-it-yourself oil change in a VAZ 2110 engine

Before you start replacing the fluid in the VAZ 2110 engine system, you should prepare for work.

Required tools and materials:

Set of keys (hexagonal and wrench);
Screwdriver;
Pliers;
Rags;
Fresh oil;
Special clothing and gloves;
Containers for used oil liquid;
Oil filter;
Filter puller.

Below are step-by-step instructions and procedures in which even a beginner can change the oil in a VAZ 2110 engine.

Changing the oil in an 8-valve and 16-valve engine

The features of changing the oil in an 8-valve and 16-valve engine are practically no different. Therefore, there are no similarities or differences. The procedure is carried out according to the standard scheme.

Advice from auto experts:

The lubricant is drained when the engine is warm. Warm liquid is more fluid. It drains better from the power unit system;
If the engine has cooled down, it is necessary to warm it up to operating temperature;
It is recommended to fill in the same oil that was previously filled.

Step-by-step instructions for changing the oil in a VAZ 2110 engine:

Place the vehicle with a warm engine on an inspection pit, lift or overpass. Open the hood and unscrew the filler plug. As a result, the likelihood of a vacuum occurring will be reduced. This will ensure the best fluidity. If necessary, the dipstick is pulled out. Go to the bottom of the car. Unscrew the crankcase protection. Bolted on. Find the location of the drain plug. Clean the area around it with a wire brush. Place a prepared container under the drain hole. Carefully unscrew the hole plug using a wrench. Please note: the procedure is performed extremely carefully. The oil is hot and can burn your hands. If the plug falls along with the used oil, there is no need to worry. When the liquid has cooled, the plug can be removed. The oil drains for about 10 minutes. You should be patient and wait for the end of the process. Flushing the power unit is optional. Sometimes, when metal shavings are found in the consistency of the car oil, the flushing procedure becomes mandatory. After draining the oil, tighten the plug. Pour flushing fluid into the internal combustion engine. You can focus on the minimum mark on the dipstick. Start the engine. Let it work for 10-15 minutes. Drain the liquid. Unscrew the filter

Use a key or use your hands. Wait until the fluid has completely drained from the engine. Next, pour oil into the power unit. Wipe the screw-in area of the oil filter. Pour new grease into the filter element. Lubricate the thread with the rubber seal of the new filter. Screw the filter element into place. Do this carefully, without using a key. Pour new lubricant into the neck. For convenience, you can use a funnel. Look at the fluid level

It should be between the two marks. Screw in the filler plug. Start the power unit, wait until the oil pressure light goes out on the instrument panel. Turn off the power unit. Recheck the oil level. If necessary, add oil.

The oil change in the VAZ 2110 engine has been completed. You can pack your tools and go on a trip. The next day, it is advisable to re-check the oil fluid in the power unit and, if necessary, top up.

Features of changing engine oil in other VAZ models

The process of choosing oil for the VAZ 2112, 21111, 21124 is exactly the same as for the VAZ 2110. Therefore, you can follow the instructions described above. The engine on the VAZ 2110 is also not much different compared to other cars. Therefore, the oil in this engine is changed according to a similar removal.

Brief step-by-step instructions for changing the oil in a VAZ 21111 engine:

Warm up the power unit.
Open the filler plug.
Remove protection. Unscrew the plug. Place a waste oil container under the hole.
Wait 10-15 minutes until the liquid drains out. During this time, unscrew the oil filter and replace it.
Tighten the plug.
Fill the car oil to the required level. Warm up the engine. Check the level again and top up if necessary.

Oil filter

An important component in the lubrication system of any car. Motor oil lubricates rubbing parts, and the oil filter retains metal debris (crumbs, sawdust, dust, sand and other debris) and in this way cleans this oil.

When should you change the filter?

Each filter must be replaced along with changing the engine oil. They must be considered one mechanism and must also be serviced together. Recommendation for replacement every 10-15 thousand km or once a year.

Which filter should you choose?

The VAZ 2110 was produced for the Russian market in 1995-2007. During this time, the car was equipped with two engines 1.5 and 1.6 liters. The same filters “LADA 21080101200508” and the second “Salyut 21081012005010” were installed on both.

LADA 21080101200508. Original spare part from the manufacturer “Avtoagregat”. Approximate cost 3-5$. This filter, which is factory installed on the car, has many negative reviews from owners who bought a VAZ 2110. They criticize the small filter element, which quickly becomes unusable, and the overall poor quality of the filter.

If we take a closer look at the second original filter “Salyut”, then the manufacturer is the company “SALYUT-FILTER”. The original bypass valve is designed in such a way that even if the filter element is clogged with debris, oil will flow through it. The quality of the filter element is of course a significant disadvantage of this model. It simply breaks during operation and, accordingly, ceases to be useful.

However, on the market you can find original filters for the VAZ 2110 under the numbers 2105-01012005-82, 2105-01012005-00, 2108-01012005-82, 2108-01012005-00. Numbers that start with 2105 are longer than 2108. Often used on older rear-wheel drive engines.

Oil filter analogues

Asakashi C0065. Japanese manufacturer of engine oil filters. Approximate cost from $2. Good quality for your money.
Sakura TC-25011K. The company of the same name is Sakura. Cheap filters with the same quality filter element. Price from $2.
Mann W914/2. One of the largest companies producing engine parts. MANN filters are popular not only among VAZ owners but also among most modern foreign cars. The approximate price of such parts is from $3.

Which is better?

Every owner of a VAZ 2110 has thought about which oil filter is better. But this question cannot be answered unequivocally. Why? Because these products are universal, it is accordingly necessary to choose among certain manufacturers.

If you ask in a store to give you an oil filter for a VAZ 2110, then most likely they will offer you a Mann brand filter. This element is of high quality and Mann products have already won their place in the domestic segment of the automotive market. Our motorists trust such products and in most cases they cope with their tasks 100%.

The same can be said about the oil filter from Bosch - this is a very high quality product. Therefore, buy MF from Mann or Bosch and you will be sure that the products of these companies will not let you down.

Sorry, there are no surveys available at this time.

Power steering (power steering)

Power steering helps you turn the steering wheel along with the wheels, while you spend several times less force than a car without a power steering system.

There are marks on the power steering expansion tank by which you can understand whether the fluid level is currently high or, conversely, low and needs to be added. A quick inspection of the power steering system can solve many problems along the way, so look under the hood once a month.

What should you pay attention to?

Monitoring the power steering fluid (oil) level and its color in the expansion tank;
Checking the drive belt for the power steering pump;
General condition of hoses (inspection for cracks, abrasions and chips);
Hose connection points.

How to change

Changing the power steering fluid (oil) can be done in several ways, including partially changing the fluid and completely changing it. The first method is faster and easier, the second is better.

Partial replacement

Partial replacement of power steering fluid involves pumping fluid out of the power steering expansion tank using a large syringe or bulb. After the tank is completely empty, fill in fresh fluid to the maximum mark. Start the car and turn the steering wheel left/right. After a few minutes, turn off the engine and check the color of the power steering fluid. If it is too dark, repeat the procedure until the desired result.

Complete replacement

To replace the power steering fluid, remove the air duct and the reservoir with power steering fluid. Pour the old liquid from the barrel into another container. When draining, pay attention to the condition of the old oil and the presence of foreign metal particles. If they are noticeable, this may indicate wear on the pump. To completely drain the power steering, you can rotate the steering wheel left and right.

Oil pressure sensor

If the oil pressure sensor lights up on a VAZ 2110, then an exciting set of checks of the engine and individual components awaits you. What could cause the sensor to light up?

Low level of oil pressure in the engine. The simplest option is to check the dipstick, if you add too little to the required level.
Oil too old. Look at the color of the oil, rub it with your fingers (you should feel oily). If the oil is too old, it is better to change it to a new one.
Oil pump malfunction.
The oil pressure sensor has failed. If you checked the previous steps and nothing helped, check the sensor itself. A visual inspection will help determine the external condition of the device. If necessary, replace with a new one. It happens that the sensor is covered in oil, this may indicate that the leak is coming through the sensor. Of course, such a part must be replaced immediately.

How to replace

Replacing the sensor does not require much effort. At the rear of the cylinder block (where the unit number is indicated), press the wire lock and remove the terminal. The sensor itself is unscrewed with a key x 22. When installing a new sensor, make sure that there is a sealing washer.

Oil filter VAZ 2110

The LADA 2110 oil filter cleans the oil from mechanical impurities, due to which the most important components of the piston group can become dirty or damaged. At the same time, a high-quality product, even shortly before a scheduled replacement, passes through enough oil so that all parts of the car receive it in the required quantity and are not damaged due to high friction, which is associated precisely with a lack of lubrication.
