Lubrication (oil) is an important part where there is friction. The car is just full of places where it happens, so it just has to be oil!
It is necessary both in the engine and in the gearbox, gearboxes, shock absorbers and other parts. This article contains: instructions “oil change in the VAZ rear axle gearbox” and the front axle too, tips on choosing oil, video, and also what needs to be done in addition to changing the oil.

Now in order:

The choice of oil for VAZ

What kind of oil to fill in when the oil is being changed in the bridge on a VAZ 2107, for example?
It happens that the opinions of experts differ, but there are common points. Expensive oil is not worth pouring - a waste of money.
The choice of gear oil is a personal matter. It all depends on the preference of the owner and the price of the oil.
Mannol oil is often poured into the rear axle and it has proven itself quite well. XADO, of course, is better, but still more expensive.

As for the brand of gear oil, the most common is 75W-90.

Preparation for replacement and necessary tools

So, changing the oil in the rear axle of a VAZ 2105 or another car is most conveniently carried out in a pit or overpass. Think in advance where you can find them.
Buy oil for filling - you should take 2 liters - there will be a little left for topping up.

Advice! Before changing the oil, be sure to warm up the car by driving it for about 10 kilometers. Thus, the oil drains better.

What tool will be needed:

• Hexagon 12
• Ring wrench or head for 17 with a knob
• Oil Filling Syringe

• Container for waste oil
• Rag
• Rubber gloves to keep your hands from getting burned by the oil

As you can see, changing the oil in the VAZ 2104 bridge and other cars does not require special costs and it is quite possible to do it yourself.

Change of oil

Consider the detailed process of changing the oil in rear axle; oil change in VAZ 21213 bridges will also be considered.

rear axle

So, we begin to change the oil, having previously prepared everything necessary and warmed up the car enough:

• First, drain the old oil. To do this, take a 12 hexagon and unscrew drain plug.
  This is where rubber mittens or gloves come in handy. Oil, if there is, of course, will flow sharply from the rear axle to your hands.

And it will flow right into your hands, so you better warn yourself.

• After unscrewing the drain plug, substitute a container for oil. After the oil drains, clean the magnet on the plug to prevent metal chips from getting into the new oil and screw it back into the body.
• Now we fill in the oil. Using a 17 key, unscrew the filler plug (as in the photo). Fill the syringe with oil and fill it into the reducer.
  Oil should be filled up to the level - the holes in the filler neck.

• After reaching the desired oil level, the filler plug is screwed into place.

• Next, wipe everything with a rag and check the tightness of all threaded connections.

Note! Tighten both plugs without excessive fanaticism. Still, it will be unpleasant to pervert with repairs later.

Here, in fact, is the whole oil change in the VAZ 2105 bridge.

Front axle

On Niva and Taiga cars, in addition to the rear axle, there is also a front axle, since the cars are all-wheel drive. Note that changing the oil in the VAZ 21214 bridges is no different from changing the oil in the rear axle on other models.
The tools are the same, the tips are the same, the device is similar, and the process is identical.
First, drain the oil from the gearbox. We twist the drain plug and unscrew the filler.
Fill with oil up to the level. We control the tightness of the connections. That's it.

Many car owners do not think that the car also needs to be looked after, and not just repaired.
If you do not only change the rear axle oil of your VAZ 2106, but also take care of the car with your own hands, then repairs can be carried out much less frequently. Here are some tips for oils.

Tip 1 - Check the oil level! How often should you check? After 20,000 km of your car run, look into the rear axle. Unscrew the filler plug and check the oil level with your finger. If necessary, add oil to the level.

Tip 2 - change your oil on time! According to repair manuals, the frequency of changing the oil in the rear axle of VAZ cars is 60,000 km.
By following this advice, your gearbox will last longer.

And a little more about. The price for this operation is quite low, so in order to save time, you can pay the guys at the service station for a replacement.
By the way, some service stations provide a free oil change, when buying it in their store - pay attention.

Oil in the gearbox - the whole mechanism that rotates and rubs against each other needs oil, the same with the gearbox, inside it there are gears (They are metal) that rub against each other during operation and if they are not lubricated with anything, they will quickly come out of building (Scoring will appear on them or even deformed and the gearbox will have to be changed), and when lubricated, they will already rotate and rub against each other with much less friction, and in connection with this, the wear of parts will be reduced (They will not fail so quickly) , in addition, the gears in the gearbox will still work quieter and thus it will not hum and vibrate too much, as it will if you completely drain the oil and start the car.

How much to pour (volume)

Believe it or not, there are some owners who don’t even know that the rear axle of the car also needs regular lubrication, although not as often as the engine. Also, there are those drivers who believe that if the oil does not kick out and does not ooze, it does not need to be changed at all. This is all wrong and it is also necessary to perform this procedure, as in the internal combustion engine and in the gearbox.

The lubricant volume should be 1.3 liters. To fill the required level, you need to wait until the oil flows out of the filler hole, this will be considered the optimal volume.

Replacement

The oil is changed according to the same algorithm as the oil in the gearbox, after a run, so that the oil is hotter and drains better:

- unscrew the filler plug

- place a container for used oil under the drain hole

- unscrew the drain plug

- after the oil has completely drained, tighten the drain plug

- pour oil into the filler hole until oil flows out of it

- tighten the filler plug

What to pour

In terms of volume, 1.5 liters of liquid is enough to replace. Change every 30-40,000 km or every 3 years, whichever comes first.

The most loaded unit in a VAZ 2107 car is the rear axle gearbox. But with proper assembly, installation and timely maintenance it can last longer than even less stressed nodes.
As the instructions indicate, the oil in the rear axle gearbox and gearbox should be changed after a break-in, then after a run of two thousand kilometers and subsequently every sixty thousand kilometers.
In the design of the VAZ car gearbox, a special type of hypoid gear with offset axles is used. This engagement reduces noise when lapping surfaces, but slip along the line of contact of the teeth can lead to a risk of seizing.

Using special gear oil in the gearbox can eliminate it. The composition of the mixture includes extreme pressure additives, class GL-5.
This oil is called Hypoid.
The volume of oil poured into the gearbox is 1.35 liters. Changing the oil in the rear axle gearbox of the VAZ 2107 is carried out according to the same algorithm as the gearbox oil.
Replacement must be done before operating the car in winter and summer. For these seasons, the oil differs in viscosity.
It is lower in winter and higher in summer.

Changing the oil in the rear axle gearbox VAZ

• The mixture contains silver dust. If instead of dust there are metal grains, this indicates a serious breakdown of the car.
  Just changing the oil is not enough.
• Coffee or black oil color. This indicates the ingress of water into it or the destruction of additives in solution.
• Changing the oil in the gearbox of the VAZ 2107 bridge can be done on your own.

Tip: The oil should be drained after the car has been driven so that it is hot and drains well from the crankcase. But care must be taken, the temperature of the liquid can reach 90 degrees.

Work order

So:

• The plug in the hole for filling the oil is unscrewed with a key to "17".

• A container is placed under the drain hole to collect used oil.
• The drain plug is turned out with a hex wrench on “12” to remove the used oil.
• After the liquid has completely drained, the drain plug is screwed into place.

Tip: If the oil drained from the gearbox housing is dark in color or has metallic particles, the rear axle gearbox must be flushed.

• For flushing, it is necessary to fill in approximately one liter of a mixture of thirty percent kerosene with gear oil. Instead of kerosene, you can take diesel fuel.
• One is posted rear wheel Shift into first gear and start the engine.
• After three minutes, the wash mixture is drained.
• For filling, it is better to use an oily supercharger or a lever grease gun. If they are not at hand, you can use a large plastic syringe with an elastic tube on its end.
• The gearbox is filled with 1.3 liters of special gear oil.
• It is necessary to ensure that its level reaches the lower edge of the filler hole.

After filling the oil, the breather is checked and cleaned of dirt. This device is necessary in order to relieve excess pressure in the gearbox, which is formed when the oil is heated and when its level rises.
All operations for changing the oil on a VAZ 2107 car can be clearly seen on the video.

Steering of a car VAZ 2107

On the model VAZ 2107 steering has a safety design with a articulated-lever steering wheel drive and a worm-roller gearbox.

• The steering gear reducer is mounted with three bolts in the engine compartment on the left side member.
• An adjusting screw installed on the top cover of the gear housing can be used to adjust the engagement gap of the double-ridged roller and the worm built into the design of the device.
• Approximately 0.2 liters of oil is poured into the steering gear housing.
• To fill the oil there is a filling hole on the top cover of the gearbox housing. There is no oil drain hole; liquid is only added to the VAZ 2107 car if necessary.

Filling oil in the steering gear

Before adding oil, check its level:

• The vacuum booster is removed.
• The key to "8" unscrews the plug for filling oil into the gearbox, which has a conical thread.

• A special rod checks the oil level. To do this, the rod is inserted all the way into the gearbox, as shown in the photo.

• From the top edge of the fill hole, the oil level should be at a depth of 15 millimeters.
• If you need to change the oil in the steering gearbox of the VAZ 2107, then the four bolts that secure the bottom cover of the gearbox are unscrewed with a spanner key on “13”.
• It is enough to move the lid and drain the oil into a container.
• The cover is put in place, fixed with bolts and new oil is poured.
• The plug is screwed into the filler hole.

Timely oil change in the main components of the VAZ 2107 car will increase its service life without expensive repairs. And the price of oil change work is acceptable for all car owners.

1) Clean the gearbox cover with an iron brush from adhering dirt.

Approximately like this.

Nameplates appeared from under the dirt, in this case 3.73 ( gear ratio).

Part number and year of manufacture (2004)

2) Unscrew the filler plug (3/8" square). You should always start with the filler plug, because if it does not unscrew, it is better not to start.

3) See what black oil.

4) We unscrew the bolts of the cover (head on 17/32 - approximately 13.5 mm).

5) Remove the cap and drain the old oil. Be careful, don't sweat it.

6) We thoroughly spill all the insides of the bridge with a cleaner (you can use any automobile in aerosols).

7) With a metal brush, remove the remnants of the old sealant.

8) Once again, spill everything with a cleaner.

9) With a rag we collect the remains of the cleaner from the differential housing.

10) Thoroughly blow all the insides with compressed air (the task is to completely dry the remnants of the cleaner).

11) We turn to the cover, it also needs to be thoroughly cleaned of sealant and dirt.

12) Rinse and dry the lid.

Do not save on sealant, purchase only high-quality high-temperature automotive sealant.

13) Apply sealant.

The sealant must be applied with an even roller with a diameter of about 6 mm without gaps. Holes should be bypassed from the inside.

14) Carefully, trying not to lubricate the sealant, install the cover in place.

15) We stretch the fastening bolts with a torque wrench (torque 41 N * m). Carefully wipe off excess sealant with a rag. Do not rush to immediately fill in the oil, let the sealant dry.

WITH rear gear everything is exactly the same. The only thing is that its cover turned out to be more rusty. Therefore, it was decided to sandblast it.

Cover with soil.

And paint.

Here she is in her place.

I will describe the process of filling the oil in words - bring the suspension of the car to its working position (support it from below or put it on the wheels), pour oil through the filler hole to the level of the plug (until it starts to pour back out), put the plug in place (lubricating it with a thin layer of sealant). I hope this article is useful to you.

P.s. Sorry for the poor quality photos, taken with my phone.

I also adjusted the rear pads today, it looks like there was no one there from the factory. And we didn’t use the handbrake, since it’s an automatic transmission.

The main task of the oil in the gearbox is to minimize the wear of the gears, in other words, to increase their service life. Low quality lubricants, and untimely replacement, adversely affects the condition of the parts.

The replacement frequency is on average 50 thousand kilometers for cars with a manual transmission, and 30 thousand for an automatic one.

More often it is necessary to change the oil on cars that operate in difficult conditions, these include:

• Off-road driving;
• Constant maximum load of the vehicle;
• Frequent towing of cars or trailers.

In a new car, it is recommended to replace after the first 2-3 thousand mileage. The fact is that at the initial stage of work, new units undergo the so-called "lapping", which is characterized by an increased formation of wear products.

Many car owners change the gearbox oil at the same time as the manual transmission, since both components use transmission fluid.

Be sure to check the level and condition of the oil in the gearboxes after buying a car on secondary market. Usually, before the sale, the owners, if they change lubricants, then only in those places where they can be easily checked. Gearboxes are not one of them.

Checking the level and condition of the oil in the gearbox

The level and condition of the oil in the gearbox is checked "for cold", when all the liquid is collected in the crankcase.

The oil should be at the level of the filler hole, 2-5 millimeters lower. To check, the filler plug is unscrewed and the level is recognized using a stick, wire, finger, or other improvised means. The condition can be checked here by taking a small amount of liquid with a syringe and tube.

You can also assess the condition of the lubricant by unscrewing the drain plug for a few seconds. Pre-tighten the filler, so the oil will flow much more slowly. If the car has stood for several hours before this, all foreign particles will settle in the crankcase, and you will get a clearer idea of ​​\u200b\u200bthe condition of the oil.

The presence of metal particles in the mining indicates that the gearbox components have a high degree of wear, and serious repairs and replacement of parts may soon be needed.

What and how much to pour

It is best to fill the gearbox with gear oil recommended by the manufacturer. The information is indicated in the technical documentation, and it is very important to focus on compliance with the class according to the API.

Almost all modern automakers require the use of at least GL-4 and GL-5 oils in their transmissions, gearboxes and transfer cases, which contain extreme pressure and other additives and are adapted to work in the most difficult conditions.

If you do not know what kind of oil and how much is poured into the gearbox of your machine, look for it in the table. We have collected information on tolerances for various vehicles from a variety of available sources.

If the car has 2 or 3 bridges, then the total amount of liquid is indicated.

LSD (Limited Slip Differential) - self-locking differential, or limited slip differential.

Change of oil

Replacement is best done after a short trip (5-10 kilometers). This will allow the oil in the gearbox to warm up and become less viscous.

The car must be in a horizontal position, it is most convenient to work in a viewing hole, on a flyover or using a lift. This will make it easier to get to the gearbox. Use a wire brush to clean the surface around the filler and drain holes.

It will not be superfluous to pay attention to the condition of the oil seals, when worn, oil can flow out of the gearbox. If smudges are visible in the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe seals, it is also better to change them immediately.
