Filling volumes of the VAZ 21213. How to check and change the oil in the Niva transfer case. Transmission oils for use in the gearbox, transfer case, drive axles and steering gear

To refuel and maintain a domestic VAZ SUV, you need to know the filling capacities of the VAZ 21213 Niva and its modifications VAZ 21214. You need to know some numbers as a keepsake, for example, the capacity of the tank and engine crankcase. The rest should be written down in a notebook, which is stored in the glove compartment of the cabin. And it doesn’t matter that you are not going to do the maintenance of the car yourself, the specialists at the station Maintenance may also not know the filling volumes of your car.

power unit

The engine installed on the modern Niva 21213 (214) car model was inherited from the Soviet progenitor - VAZ 2121, and in terms of liquid volumes they are almost identical:

System liquid cooling. It is filled with antifreeze in the amount of 10.7 liters with a freezing point not higher than -40 ° C. The capacity of the interior heating radiator is also included in this volume.
Crankcase. Engine oils are poured here, whose brand depends on the operating conditions. Capacity - 3.75 liters, including oil filter filling.

The degree of viscosity of the oil poured into the Niva engine must correspond to the temperature regime on the street at which the machine is operated. Possible modes and suitable brands of oils are indicated in the table:

When flushing power unit in the process of changing the liquid lubricant, the same amount is used flushing oil(3.75 l), taking into account the dimensions of the filter. Replacement is carried out after 8-12 thousand kilometers, depending on the quality of the oil. Flushing is usually done after 3 changes motor lubricant. During operation, it is important to monitor the oil level in the crankcase using a special dipstick. If the level has fallen below the Min risk, it is urgent to add lubricant to the engine of the same viscosity that was filled earlier.

You need to update antifreeze at least once every 3 years or according to the degree of deterioration of the liquid. It is not recommended to dilute antifreeze with distilled water, either in winter or in summer. In winter, diluted liquid can freeze, and during summer heat, it can boil prematurely, which will lead to overheating of the motor.

Transmission

The Niva 4x4 transmission system has the following filling volumes:

transfer box - 0.79 l;
gearbox - 1.6 l;
rear axle - gearbox - 1.3 l;
front axle- crankcase - 1.15 l;
steering column- crankcase - 0.18-0.2 l.

As in the operation of the power unit, under different temperature conditions, transmission units and assemblies are filled with oils of different viscosities, which is reflected in the table:

As stated in the operating instructions, it is necessary to change transmission lubricants 1 time per 30 thousand km. run. At the same time, replacement is not provided for in the crankcase of the steering mechanism, only an additive through the top plug. The “native” oil for Zhiguli transmission units is the TAD17I brand.

Gear oils have good penetrating power. Therefore, poorly clamped plugs and worn-out gaskets of the units begin to gradually leak lubricant. IN similar situations it is allowed to add oil of the same viscosity class and, preferably, of the same manufacturer. If you do not top up during a leak, the lubrication level in the unit will decrease, which will lead to accelerated wear of expensive mechanisms.

Other liquids and fuels and lubricants

Every motorist should know by heart the maximum amount of fueling his car. Fuel tank VAZ 21213 has a capacity of 42 liters, including a reserve. The reserve is understood as the amount of fuel remaining in the tank after the yellow warning lamp on the instrument panel has turned on. The amount of the reserve is not less than 5 liters. The car must be filled with gasoline, whose octane number lies in the range of 91-93.

The car has a number of filling tanks which the owner must monitor during operation:

brake system with expansion tank, total capacity - 0.515 l;
hydraulic clutch drive with expansion tank - 0.2 l;
2 plastic tank 2 liters each contain a supply of fluid for the windshield washer and rear window.

The clutch release actuator and brake system are filled with hydraulic brake fluid (the most popular is DOT-4). It should be changed at least every 3 years, because the liquid has the ability to absorb water vapor contained in the air. As a result, all steel parts of the system in contact with it begin to corrode, which leads to complete or partial failure of the brakes.

If there is a leak in the clutch or brake system, the level in expansion tanks decreases, so they require constant monitoring.

Level brake fluid in tanks it is necessary to maintain not lower than the corresponding mark on the plastic body of the container.

Liquid or clean water for washing glasses is topped up if necessary, in winter it is always a non-freezing option. Otherwise, the ice will destroy not only the pipes, but also damage the electric pump.

Also, various thick lubricants are used for maintenance and lubrication of the Niva:

Litol - a composition for lubricating highly loaded bearing parts;
SHRUS-4 - grease for hinges of the front axle shafts and door opening limiters;
ShRB-4 is designed for processing ball pins of bearings and steering rods.

The list of filling capacities is useful for novice motorists who have bought a used car with a lost instruction manual. The operation of such a car should just begin with the replacement of all fluids and oils.

Serial production of the first Soviet SUV belonging to a small class started in 1977. Since then, the VAZ-2121 Niva and its numerous modifications have held the lead as the most massive and popular representative four-wheel drive vehicles. And for all such Vehicle it is necessary to replace transmission fluids in the gearbox, transfer case and drive axles in time. How to change the oil in Niva is the topic of this article.

How to change the oil in the front and rear axles of the VAZ Niva.

When is the replacement

All transmission units (manual transmission, both axles) are serviced simultaneously. The first time, according to the service book, this must be done after driving 45 thousand kilometers, the next replacement of transmission fluids is carried out when an indicator of 105 thousand kilometers is recorded on the speedometer, then every 60 thousand km. run. Many owners of this car intentionally or unknowingly ignore these recommendations, continuing to operate their car after hitting a hundred or more thousand kilometers. And then, of course, they complain about the appearance of problems with the transmission.

To avoid them as long as possible (driving 300,000 km on the Niva with regular scheduled maintenance is not a problem), it is recommended to change the oil in the Niva bridges 2121, 21213, 21214 and other modifications every 50 - 60 thousand kilometers, and when operating the car mainly in difficult conditions - after 30 - 40 thousand.

Choosing the Right Gear Oil

All Niva transmission units are factory filled with the same mineral oil. During maintenance, the same oil is usually poured, and not always good quality. This liquid is really good, but only for the break-in period. new car. When hitting 10 - 15 thousand km. recommended to produce with the best operational characteristics. Synthetic lubricants for Niva bridges are not the best choice, because in hot weather their viscosity is so low that the chances of oil seals leaking increase. mineral water in very coldy thickens so much that both gear shifting and vehicle movement are very difficult until it is warmed up.

For Niva 2121, 21213, 21214 - 75W90. You can fill in any mineral or semi-synthetic transmission fluid with the appropriate performance. At the same time, 1.3 liters of oil is poured into the rear axle of the Niva of all modifications, and 1.15 liters into the front axle. The volume of oil in the Niva's rear axle is somewhat larger, since this is, by definition, the main drive axle, and the load on it is generally slightly higher.

Oil change sequence

Draining the old and filling in new oil in the front and rear axles of the Niva - the procedure is generally similar, but differences still exist due to design features domestic SUV. The oil change in the front axle of the Niva is carried out simultaneously with, in any case, you will not need other tools and materials, including:

a special technical syringe (or a funnel of suitable sizes and geometry);
hex wrench 12;
ring spanner 17 (butt wrench will be extremely inconvenient and ineffective);
rags, a container for draining mining.

The drain hole can be found on the lower plane of the front axle, the filler hole is located on its side wall.

The procedure for changing the oil in the Niva front gearbox:

To change the oil in the Niva rear axle, you will need the same tool, since both the drain and filler plugs are the same. However, the procedure itself is practically the same, with the exception of the location of the gearboxes:

As you can see, pouring new oil into both the front and rear axles of the Niva is a simple procedure. And, as already noted, it is produced along with the replacement of lubricant in the gearbox and transfer case during TO-4, TO-8 and so on.

Changing the rear gear oil Niva VAZ 21213, 21214, 2131 lada 4x4

(See also Changing the oil in the front gearbox)

How often to change the oil in rear gear?- According to the regulations of the service book, the oil in the gearbox is changed every 40 thousand km. If the car is new, then the first replacement should be after 2 thousand km, and then every 40 thousand km.

How much oil to fill in the rear gearbox? - 1.3 liters.

What oil to fill in? - Gear oil quality according to API GL-5 and viscosity 75W-90

Checking the oil level

The oil level needs to be checked every 10,000 km. on a cold gearbox.

Loosen the filler plug with a wrench. The oil level should reach the lower edge of the filler hole, which is checked with a finger. In case of insufficient oil, add it in the same way as shown below, until it starts to flow out. After draining the excess, screw the plug back in place.

Change of oil

We clean the drain plug magnet and wrap it.

Close the fill plug.

We clean the breather and wrap it in place.

Rear axle oil change

On personal experience I know many owners who do not change the oil in the Niva bridge for several years, and even with a mileage of more than 100,000 km, they continue to operate the car on the old oil that has long been exhausted. Naturally, such a method is not welcome and will adversely affect the entire mechanism. So it’s best to replace it no later than 60,000 km, I personally kept a 50,000 km gap on the “classic” and there were never any problems, the cars looked after 300,000 without repairing this unit.

To perform this procedure on the VAZ 2121, we need the following tool:

Hexagon 12
Key 17 or head with a knob
A special syringe or a simple device (a watering can with a hose)

Guide for changing the oil in the rear axle of a Niva car

The first step is to find a container that you no longer need, some old canister or can, and substitute it under the drain hole.

We unscrew the plug with a hexagon, as shown in the photo below:

and drain the used oil into a container after waiting at least ten minutes until all the muck flows out of there:

After that, we thoroughly clean the cork and twist it back to its original place. Then it is necessary to unscrew the filler hole, the plug of which is located approximately in the middle of the Niva rear axle:

To change the oil, I did not use a special syringe, since such a device was not at hand, but a watering can, to which I attached a hose. It all looks something like the picture below:

Gently pour new oil in a thin stream until it starts to flow out of the hole, the uppermost edge is considered the required level. Then we twist the cork back and we can assume that everything is ready. Another point, there is a so-called breather on top, which can be unscrewed with a 13 key and needs to be cleaned and installed in its original place.

Used liquids and filling volumes Niva VAZ 21213, 21214 and 2131

To refuel and maintain a domestic VAZ SUV, you need to know the filling capacities of the VAZ 21213 Niva and its modifications VAZ 21214. You need to know some numbers as a keepsake, for example, the capacity of the tank and engine crankcase. The rest should be written down in a notebook, which is stored in the glove compartment of the cabin. And it doesn’t matter that you are not going to do the maintenance of the car yourself, the specialists at the service station may also not know the filling volumes of your car.

power unit

The engine installed on the modern Niva 21213 (214) car model was inherited from the Soviet progenitor - VAZ 2121, and in terms of liquid volumes they are almost identical:

Liquid cooling system. It is filled with antifreeze in the amount of 10.7 liters with a freezing point not higher than -40 ° C. The capacity of the interior heating radiator is also included in this volume.
Crankcase. Engine oils are poured here, whose brand depends on the operating conditions. Capacity - 3.75 liters, including oil filter filling.

When flushing the power package during the oil change process, the same amount of flushing oil (3.75 l) is used, taking into account the filter dimensions. Replacement is carried out after 8-12 thousand kilometers, depending on the quality of the oil. Flushing is usually performed after 3 engine lubrication changes. During operation, it is important to monitor the oil level in the crankcase using a special dipstick. If the level has fallen below the Min risk, it is urgent to add lubricant to the engine of the same viscosity that was filled earlier.

Transmission

The Niva 4x4 transmission system has the following filling volumes:

transfer box - 0.79 l;
gearbox - 1.6 l;
rear axle - gearbox - 1.3 l;
front axle - crankcase - 1.15 l;
steering column - crankcase - 0.18-0.2 l.

As in the operation of the power unit, under different temperature conditions, transmission units and assemblies are filled with oils of different viscosities, which is reflected in the table:

Gear oils have good penetrating power. Therefore, poorly clamped plugs and worn-out gaskets of the units begin to gradually leak lubricant. In such situations, the addition of oil of the same viscosity grade and preferably from the same manufacturer is allowed. If you do not top up during a leak, the lubrication level in the unit will decrease, which will lead to accelerated wear of expensive mechanisms.

Other liquids and fuels and lubricants

Every motorist should know by heart the maximum amount of fueling his car. The fuel tank VAZ 21213 has a capacity of 42 liters, including the reserve. The reserve is understood as the amount of fuel remaining in the tank after the yellow warning lamp on the instrument panel has turned on. Reserve size - not less than 5 l. The car must be filled with gasoline, whose octane number lies in the range of 91-93.

The car has a number of refueling tanks, which the owner must monitor during operation:

brake system with expansion tank, total capacity - 0.515 l;
hydraulic clutch drive with expansion tank - 0.2 l;
2 plastic tanks with a volume of 2 liters each contain a supply of fluid for the windshield and rear window washer.

If there is a leak in the clutch or brake system, the level in the expansion tanks drops, so constant monitoring is required over them.

The level of brake fluid in the tanks must be maintained not lower than the corresponding mark on the plastic case of the container.

Liquid or clean water for washing glasses is topped up if necessary, in winter - always a non-freezing option. Otherwise, the ice will destroy not only the pipes, but also damage the electric pump.

Also, various thick lubricants are used for maintenance and lubrication of the Niva:

Litol - composition for lubrication of highly loaded bearing parts;
SHRUS-4 - grease for hinges of the front axle shafts and door opening limiters;
ShRB-4 is designed for processing ball pins of bearings and steering rods.

A Russian driver - he is such that he will not climb under the car until something breaks there. Beginners and experienced drivers often neglect the terms of the regulations, which indicate the service life of engine oil or oil in the rear axle gearbox. You should not do this, because then an expensive repair shines, which is unlikely to please you. Today we will tell you how to change the oil in the rear axle gearbox on the Niva with your own hands. Note that this procedure is required every 75 thousand kilometers.

Recall that if you do not change the oil in the rear axle gearbox on the VAZ 2121 for a long period, it will lose its properties, which will lead to increased wear of parts. If you have accepted to perform this operation yourself, I recommend driving the car into a pit or raising the rear of the car with a jack.

We will need these tools:

1. 12 mm hexagon.2. Socket head 17 with ratchet.3. Watering can for oil.4. Waste oil container.

Recall that in the previous article we considered how to replace the cooling radiator on the Niva with our own hands. This operation is quite realistic to perform in garage conditions, I recommend preparing clean containers for antifreeze or antifreeze in advance.

Changing the oil in the rear axle gearbox on the Niva

1. First of all, you need to unscrew drain plug which is located on the bridge. For this operation, we need a 12 mm hexagon.

2. Before you completely unscrew the plug, substitute a suitable container for oil.

3. When all the used oil is completely glass, we twist the plug back, all the same with a hexagon. Now you need to unscrew the plug to fill in fresh oil. It is located in the back, in the center. See photo for more details.

4. Now you need to prepare such equipment (see photo) hose + watering can, through which it will be possible to pour fresh oil into the rear axle gearbox.

Pour fresh oil into the rear axle gearbox, then tighten the plug. Now for 75 thousand kilometers you can forget about this procedure. It took me about 25 minutes to complete all the procedures. Save your money, do it yourself!

Changing the oil in the rear axle gearbox VAZ 2121 Niva 2131

The oil change in the rear axle gearbox on a VAZ 2121 and Niva 2131 car is carried out according to the technical inspection card, on average for most cars this mileage is about 35 t.km. Before carrying out repair work, the car must be driven at least 10 km in order for the oil to warm up, become more liquid and better glass from the walls of the gearbox.

Prepare a standard set of tools, a technical syringe, a new transmission oil, then do the following steps:

For the convenience of carrying out repair work, it is recommended to drive the car onto a viewing hole, overpass or lifts.

Next, with a twelve-sided wrench, unscrew the drain plug and drain the oil into a previously prepared container. Be careful when draining as the oil is very hot and splashes can burn your hands.

After draining the oil, we clean the magnet on the plug from dirt, also pay attention to its nature, if there are metal chips, which indicate a malfunction of the gears, which will subsequently necessitate repair with disassembly. We twist the cork and tighten it.

With a spanner wrench for seventeen, unscrew the filler plug. Next, we take a technical syringe and fill it with new gear oil and press it into the rear axle gearbox. It is necessary to fill in oil until such a moment, until its level coincides with the lower edge of the filler neck. Then we twist the cork.

And at the final stage, it remains to clean the breather. To do this, unscrew it with a thirteen key, clean it and twist it back. If necessary, replace it.

This completes the repair work on changing the oil in the rear axle gearbox on a VAZ 2121 and Niva 2131 car.

The Niva 21214 car is distinguished by increased cross-country ability on the roads. By car, there is an engine that has a volume of 1.7 liters, which complies with Euro-4 standards. The transmission system includes a transfer case with a crankcase ventilation system. All components on the VAZ 21214, just like on the VAZ 21213, are distinguished by a long working life. It is important to take proper care of car system, select high-quality oil for the Niva.

SUV Niva (VAZ 2121), having four-wheel drive, equipped with a manual transmission is capable of delivering power of 75 horsepower.

The choice of gearbox oil

Transmission fluid Lukoil GL4 75W-80

What oil to choose? Transmission oils are available in a wide range. Pay attention to fuel, which has the following viscosity: 75W-90, 85W-90. In particular, you can choose Lukoil 80W90 gear oil (class GL5). When operating vehicles in winter period 70W-90 oil should be purchased, as it has a low viscosity. Semi-synthetic options for refueling Niva 21213 are also suitable. It is better to replace it in a specialized service center.

How much oil to fill? Approximately 0.8 liters must be added to the Niva oil dispenser. 1.6 liters are poured into its high-speed box transmission fluid.

Always carefully study its composition before choosing a transmission fluid.

The need to change gear oil

To change the oil on the Niva, the car must be warmed up (to ensure good fluidity). The machine is placed on a viewing hole, a special container should be placed under the drain hole, where the spent liquid will drain. To open the drain and fill plug, you should use a hexagon. Also, from the additional tools you will need a special syringe, which is used to refuel fuel into the dispenser.

Oil change in the transfer case (Niva 21214 / 21213). Main stages:

The drain plug is loosened.
The remaining oil is poured into the substituted container.
Any contamination on the plug must be removed.
The drain plug is twisted.
The top plug is unscrewed to fill in new oil with a syringe.
The cork is twisted.

The peculiarity of the gearbox is that a magnet is built in here. Its function is to attract small metal debris that may be present in fuel.

When replacing fuel, a crankcase flush is required. This procedure helps to extend the operational life of the box. Flushing is mandatory if the drained oil is heavily contaminated.

The frequency of replacing fuel for the transmission is affected by the mileage of the Niva 21214 (21213), in what conditions it is operated. When making frequent trips off-road, the need to change the oil for the transfer case, gearboxes may arise even up to 50,000 km.

The need to add a new lubricant to the box can be indicated by the fact that the checkpoint began to overheat, characteristic noises appeared during movement from its side.
