Which oil is better for VAZ 2107 injector

The VAZ 2107 car was produced in our country for almost 30 years, from 1982 to 2012. From the very beginning of production, it was positioned as a luxury version of the VAZ 2105 with a more powerful and reliable engine. In addition, this classic sedan was equipped with a more comfortable interior with comfortable front seats, a redesigned instrument panel, and a slightly more presentable appearance with more chrome in the trim elements.
Most VAZ 2107 cars produced before the beginning of the 21st century were equipped on the assembly line with 1.5 liter 77-horsepower VAZ 2103 carburetor engines. Cars produced after 2000 were most often equipped with VAZ 21067 injection power units.

Many VAZ 2107 owners are interested in the question of what is the best oil to pour into the engine of this classic sedan in order to extend its life until major repairs. According to experts, the answer to this question is quite simple; it is better to fill the engine with motor oil that has been approved by the manufacturer.

Elimination of illiteracy

If you are interested in what kind of oil the engineers of the Volzhsky Automobile Plant recommend to fill into the power units of classic Lada cars - mineral, semi-synthetic or synthetic, then you are formulating the question incorrectly. The manufacturer's recommendations relate only to the quality standards that the engine oil being poured must meet.

Many people notice that product canisters usually have markings like API SH or API SJ/CF. You should pay attention to it first of all, since it is this marking that informs about the quality of the product.

API is an acronym for the American Petroleum Institute. This institute checks whether motor oil meets certain quality standards based on a large number of indicators, including:

the amount of deposits remaining on engine parts after a standard period of operation;
washing ability;
temperature characteristics;
toxicity;
corrosivity;
effectiveness of protecting engine parts from friction.

The abbreviations SJ or CF are deciphered as follows.

S and C are the categories of engines for which the oil is intended. Lubricants for gasoline power units are designated by the letter S, and lubricants for diesel engines by the letter C.
J and F – quality of oil performance characteristics. The farther the letter is from A in alphabetical order, the higher the product characteristics.

Engineers at the Volzhsky Automobile Plant require that the engine of the VAZ 21074 injector be filled with lubricant that at least meets the API SG/CD standard. Moreover, if you come across a product that meets the API SH, SJ or SL standard, then it is better to fill it.

Quite often, when purchasing motor oil, car enthusiasts first of all pay attention to the classification of the product according to the methodology of the US Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE). However, such a classification only determines the viscosity characteristics of the product and does not inform in any way about its quality.

Recommended VAZ 2107 oils according to SAE classification:

Lukoil Lux – 5W40, 10W40, 15W40.
Lukoil Super - 5W30, 5W40, 10W40, 15W40.
Novoil-Sint – 5W30.
Omskoil Lux – 5W30, 5W40, 10W30, 10W40, 15W40, 20W40.
Norsi Extra – 5W30, 10W30, 5W40, 10W40, 15W40.
Esso Ultra – 10W40.
Esso Uniflo – 10W40, 15W40.
Shell Helix Super – 10W40.

Rating TOP 10 best oils for VAZ

The high place received in the rating does not mean that this VAZ engine oil can be unambiguously recommended for any engine. This only indicates the high quality of the product and other advantages. When making the final choice of oil, you must ensure that it meets the basic requirements of a particular engine and the expected climatic operating conditions.

LUKOIL Super SG/CD 15W 40

LUKOIL Super SG CD 15W 40

The only mineral oil in the review. Unsuitable for use at low temperatures; at minus 20, starting the engine will be impossible without external heating. In warm climates, the use of oil is quite possible, the engine will not deteriorate, all indicators are within the normal limits specified by the engine manufacturer. At this price, one cannot expect that the composition will work for the 10-15 thousand kilometers specified in the factory instructions. Such products are changed every 5,000 km.

The lubricating properties of the oil are good, like many mineral bases. There is an additive package that includes thickeners that provide the required viscosity at high temperatures. The waste consumption is satisfactory, the ash content is also subject to frequent replacements. This is forced by the increased sulfur content, which increases the acidity of the environment at high mileage. The product is suitable for models 2107, 2106, 2101, especially if the cars still have a carburetor.

Mannol Classic 10W 40

Budget-friendly semi-synthetic oil for engines that are not demanding on individual properties. At a low cost, it has a balanced character; not a single parameter deviates from the norm. You can pour with confidence. A widely used budget oil, formally semi-synthetic, but the composition is dominated by refined mineral oil.

The viscous base provides good temperature characteristics. The oil will not fail in average frosts down to -30 degrees. Scrolling test samples with a starter proved this. The indicators are achieved by a significant package of high-quality additives that improve the properties of the inexpensive base. A universal, classic motor oil can work normally in any engine - for example, 2109, 2110. It can be recommended to halve the replacement time to avoid contamination from used additives.

LUKOIL Lux SL/CF 10W-40

LUKOIL Lux SL CF 10W-40

Semi-synthetic oil, hydrocracking plus a mineral base component. Anti-wear additives containing organic molybdenum compounds. Sufficient amount of detergents and neutralizing agents. It behaves satisfactorily at low temperatures for this range and does not suffer from severe fumes. Sulfur content is somewhat elevated, but not to a critical value. Low price. It can easily get along with seals and oil seals of average quality, which was important for factory-equipped VAZ engines before the introduction of strict environmental standards - 16-valve engines 2112 or 8-valve engines 2114, 2115.

The main disadvantage is the short service life; replacement time must be halved, otherwise the product will no longer protect the engine. Even under these conditions, the tightness of the seals and gaskets will be ensured, which cannot be said about more modern lubricating products, where the specific amount of synthetics is increased.

LIQUI MOLY Optimal 10W 40

High-quality oil, made using conventional technology. The base contains hydrocracking synthetics mixed with a purified petroleum product. Contains molybdenum, which provides good extreme pressure properties when working under high loads under oil starvation conditions. The composition pumps satisfactorily, is quite resistant to waste consumption, other characteristics are at an average or above-average level.

Among the shortcomings, one can note the unreasonably high price, which is not an obstacle for connoisseurs of Liqui Moly products. There are many more worthy synthetic products in this range with all the characteristic advantages. Mineral oils also have them, so the product will get its money’s worth, despite its relatively low position in the rating. It is necessary to evaluate the entire complex of properties, including cost. The presence of PAO components is declared, which budget synthetics do not have.

ELF Evolution 700 STI 10W 40

Good semi-synthetic from the well-known concern Total, all indicators are normal except for ash content. In engines that are not characterized by high temperature loads in the lubrication system, this is not a decisive indicator. The oil has good washing and dispersing properties. The price is reasonable, which makes it possible to highlight the product in the category of mixtures of hydrocracking base components with a purified mineral base.

In terms of acid-base indicators, the product is among the best, this will allow you to rest assured that the engine will be protected from corrosion throughout the entire service life of the crankcase contents. The oil will not last until the recommended replacement period, but it will work reliably for the generally accepted 7,500 kilometers.

Note! The marking is outdated, the same oil will be sold under other names - ELF or Total.

Mobil Super 2000 X1 10W 40

Semi-synthetic from a well-known manufacturer. Like all oils of this category, it has insufficient low-temperature characteristics to work in winter in northern regions. The pour point is not higher than -30 degrees. In warm climates it will do its job perfectly and has excellent lubricating properties. This partially compensates for another drawback - the product hardly meets the high-temperature viscosity standards for this category. A lot can be forgiven here for the excellent tribological performance.

Attention! There are a large number of fakes. This indicates the popularity of the product.

Castrol Magnatec Stop Start C3 5W 30

In terms of high-temperature viscosity, the oil does not meet the requirements of VAZ engines; it is intended for modern engines that are designed to save energy using the technology of shutting down during short stops and then quickly starting. Such properties are not required on budget engines, but they will not interfere with normal operation, so the oil can be used. The exception is high mileage vehicles, where the use of more viscous products is desirable.

A relatively low flash point indicates the risk of significant waste costs. In modern engines, such losses are built into the design, and the owner of a Lada may be concerned that something is not right with the engine. It is better to turn to other products in the line of this lubricant manufacturer.

ZIC X9 5W 40

Hydrocracked synthetics with extended service life. Designed to expand the range of engines for which cheaper synthetic oils like X7 are produced. When applied to VAZ engines, where there is no turbocharging, direct injection or the most modern energy-saving technologies, the oil can be considered universal, but improved, especially in terms of lubricating properties at high temperatures and low waste consumption. The product will not damage the injector with the components of the additive package; it will even serve the 124th engine.

There are shortcomings due to which the product does not reach the top of the rating: compliance with the 5W40 category can be considered formal, there is no reserve, already at -30 the operation of the starter is disrupted due to high cold viscosity, while the pour point corresponds to the standard, but without a reserve. The level of initial protection of engine parts from corrosion is low, but the indicator is within the current standards and is stable during operation.

LUKOIL Genesis Armortech 5W 40

High-quality synthetic oil made using hydrocracking technology. It has good cleaning and neutralizing properties and can actually last up to 10 thousand kilometers between services. Due to its viscosity, it can work almost throughout the entire country, since it freezes below -43 degrees, and will withstand operation in the hottest regions. No discounts on domestic origin, easily competes with any imported product. The additive package contains organic molybdenum compounds. Produces little ash during operation.

Among the disadvantages, it should be noted that the increased viscosity during cold starts is about zero degrees. This will entail a relatively long entry into the operating mode of engine hydraulic components - for example, hydraulic valve lash compensators.

SHELL Helix High Mileage 5W 40

For its viscosity class, it has outstanding low-temperature performance, which is important for northern regions; the oil thickens only at temperatures below -54 degrees. The technology is common for budget synthetic compounds - hydrocracking. A high flash point promises low oil consumption due to waste, which is important for conservative VAZ engines. Works great on worn engines thanks to a rich package of additives, including detergents. Of particular note is the special technology that saves the oil seals of engines that were not originally designed for synthetics. Organic molybdenum is present, there will be no scuffing on unrun-in and unheated engines. It can be safely used on cars with high mileage; the oil maintains its viscosity well at elevated temperatures.

There are no visible shortcomings of this product, only a high price that will not ruin anyone. The oil does not need to cut the change interval in half. The recommendations are good.

Methods for determining the need for replacement, filling volumes and expert advice

If an oil pressure sensor is installed on the engine of your car, this makes it much easier to determine the moment after which a scheduled lubricant change is required in the VAZ 2107 engine. To determine the exact moment, you need to pay attention to the lubricant pressure in different operating ranges of the power unit. Usually, when the lubricant decomposes, the VAZ 2107 oil pressure indicator (installed on all cars produced before 1988) shows an increase in pressure in the system during startup and long-term operation of the power unit.

This happens due to liquefaction and boiling of the lubricant in the crankcase of the power unit. If there is no oil pressure sensor on your car, then you will have to rely on the recommendations of the car manufacturer. AvtoVAZ engineers advise changing the lubricant in the engine every 6,000 km when driving short distances and every 10,000 km when driving constantly over long distances.

Many owners of classic cars are interested in the question of how much oil should be poured into the lubrication system of the power unit of their favorite car. According to the manufacturer, the volume of engine oil in the engine lubrication system is about 4 liters, or more precisely, 3750 milliliters, including lubricant in the filter. Expert advice.

When changing oil, it is better to fill in the brand that was poured into the engine crankcase before.
It is not recommended to fill old power units with synthetics, since it washes out deposits covering microcracks in the oil sump.
It is better to immediately fill a new factory engine that has been run-in with synthetics. In a good engine, synthetics are welcome; they will prevent it from overheating and extend its service life.

Regardless of how much your car has driven, if you change consumables and operating fluids on time, your car will delight you with its reliability for many years.

Many VAZ 2107 cars were equipped with 1.5-liter carburetor engines producing 77 hp. Cars produced after 2000 were equipped with VAZ 21067 injection engines.

Many owners of these cars are interested in what kind of oil to pour into the VAZ 2107 injector or carburetor. To extend the life of the engine, it is important to change the oil regularly, and experts note that both injection and carburetor engines can be filled with the same lubricant.

Useful tips

Usually, when selecting consumables for a car, the owner only needs to look at the official instruction manual. But in the case of the VAZ-2106, the situation is somewhat different. The cars have not been produced for a long time, plus the manuals are seriously outdated. So going by what the factory recommends doesn’t make much sense. Based on the tips and characteristics given above. With their help, it will be easier for you to make a choice and fill the crankcase with the correct engine oil that corresponds to the current state of affairs. In addition, we will give some useful tips.

Manufacturer of motor oils. In the case of the VAZ-2106 car, the priority for most drivers will be domestically produced fluids. But many imported compounds are also suitable for the six. Here, focus not on the geographical location of the brand, but on its position in the market. Try to choose mixtures that have been on the market for a long time. This suggests that they produce high-quality compounds that meet the requirements and standards.
Terms of Use. In our conditions and taking into account the technical features of the VAZ-2106, it is not worth delaying too much with changing the engine fluid. Replacement is recommended every 5 - 7 thousand kilometers. The more problems your “six” has, the shorter the intervals will be.
Trying to save money. Everyone understands perfectly well that no one wants, and sometimes cannot, spend a lot of money on maintaining such a budget car. But excessive savings can result in serious problems. Do not fill with questionable motor mixtures, but use proven, well-proven oils. Among them there are options at an adequate price.
Sales consultants. No offense to some sellers who are really trying to help customers. But most of them pursue personal goals and profit. For them, it is preferable to sell stale goods than to give practical and useful advice. Therefore, it is better to understand the issue yourself.
Fakes. The big problem for domestic motorists is the presence of a huge number of counterfeit products on the market. In this regard, try to avoid dubious retail outlets, counters and spontaneous markets. Go to specialty stores. Even though the oil there will be a little more expensive, you will be able to get all the documents, look at the certificates of quality and conformity, make claims if you buy bad oil, etc.

Always try to remember what you pour into the engine crankcase and what oil you use for your VAZ-2106, which has a carburetor. This will allow you to purchase a similar liquid next time. The age of the car is the main problem when choosing motor fluid for the VAZ-2106. Therefore, try to take into account all the recommendations given, build on the current state of the car and do not skimp on consumables. Otherwise, you will soon have to send the car to a landfill.

What kind of oil should I use?

VAZ engineers advise filling VAZ 2107 engines with an injector with oil that meets API SG/CD standards. A lubricant with API SH, SJ or SL parameters is even better.

Often, when purchasing engine oil, motorists first pay attention to the classification of the product according to the principles of the Society of Automotive Engineers of America - SAE. This classification determines only the viscosity of the product, not the quality. The car manufacturer recommends the following brands of oils:

Esso Ultra – 10W40;
Esso Uniflo – 10W40, 15W40;
Lukoil Lux – 5W40, 10W40, 15W40;
Lukoil Super - 5W30, 5W40, 10W40, 15W40;
Omskoil Lux – 5W30, 5W40, 10W30, 10W40, 15W40, 20W40;
Novoil-Sint – 5W30;
Norsi Extra – 5W30, 10W30, 5W40, 10W40, 15W40;
Shell Helix Super – 10W40.

Manufacturers and brands

Everyone understands perfectly well that the VAZ-2106 belongs to the category of cheap cars that are available only on the secondary market. They cost extremely little, because the main target audience has a low level of financial wealth. It follows from this that they will not buy expensive motor oils. And there is no point in this, since the VAZ-2106 feels great when working on budget fluids. The ideal solution would be to purchase European motor oils. Although their high price does not always allow buyers to purchase similar products for their “six”. Car owners pay the main attention to domestic brands. The most popular include:

Yukos Tourism;
Azmol Super;
Lada Standard.

Imported liquids have significantly higher technical parameters. This is where the main problem of choice arises. To guarantee confident, reliable and durable operation of the engine, it is better to spend a little more money but purchase high-quality imported oil for the VAZ-2106. If your financial condition does not allow you to spend a lot of money on servicing the VAZ-2106, you can get by with the domestic option. They are inferior in quality, but drivers usually do not feel a significant difference.

It makes no sense to look into the official VAZ-2106 operating manual, since the oils recommended there have not been produced for a long time or have lost their relevance.

The list of the most suitable brands for the VAZ-2106 available today includes:

Optimum produced by Rosneft;
Standard, produced under the Lada brand;
Standard from Lukoil;
Lukoil Lux;
Lukoil Super;
Rosneft Maximum.

How to determine the need for an oil change?

If your VAZ 2107 is equipped with an oil pressure sensor, this will make it much easier to determine when to replace or add oil. You need to pay attention to the oil pressure in different operating ranges of the engine. When the lubricant decomposes, the pressure indicator shows an increase in pressure in the system when starting or operating the engine for a long time.

This occurs due to boiling and dilution of the lubricant in the engine crankcase. If there is no pressure sensor, you need to rely on the recommendations of the auto company’s engineers. They recommend changing the engine oil every 6 thousand kilometers for short distances or after 10 thousand kilometers when operating the car for long distances. We have a separate detailed article on our website with video instructions on the topic about changing the oil on a VAZ 2107.

Which lubricant to choose

The circle of experienced Seven car owners has collected a lot of practical data on the topic of when to change the engine oil and what it should be like:

mineral. It was the only solution for decades, but fewer and fewer Zhiguli owners are currently using it. If frost sets in above minus 20, starting the car becomes very problematic. That is, you have to forcibly dilute the lubricant by heating in order to be able to turn the crankshaft with the starter
synthetic and semi-synthetic. The best choice for this machine. By all criteria, such products are better than mineral ones. It provides better lubrication of rubbing parts and components, allowing you to extend the service life of the motor. Even at a temperature of -30 degrees or more, there will be no problems with starting. Despite the frost, the starter can start the engine even on the first try if there is a well-charged battery.

How much oil to fill?

Many VAZ 2107 owners are interested in the volume of engine oil. The manufacturer notes that you need to fill in 4 liters of lubricant, or rather 3.75 liters (including the liquid in the filter). Experts give some advice that is best to follow:

When changing the oil, fill in the liquid that was filled in earlier.
It is better not to use synthetic lubricant in old engines, as it washes away deposits that cover microcracks.
After running-in, it is better to fill new engines with synthetics. In good engines, synthetics are welcome, as they extend the life of the unit, preventing it from overheating.

Regardless of the mileage of your VAZ 2107, if you change the oil and other consumables in a timely manner, your car will serve you for a long time without serious breakdowns.

How to choose?

From the above it follows that oil for the VAZ 2106 should be selected based on the area and season in which the car is operated. For areas with a positive average annual temperature, this is mineral oil. For areas with a temperate climate, i.e. in central Russia, semi-synthetics are sufficient in winter, and synthetics in the Far North.

It should be taken into account that manufacturers add various additives to modern oils in order to improve their lubricating, cleaning and restoring properties. E

If the VAZ 2106 was produced before 2001 inclusive, then it has a carburetor engine, as a rule, consisting of spare parts designed for other types of oils.

Therefore, so that these additives do not negatively affect the steel heart of the car, it is better to buy brands that have been produced for a long time. Usually, self-respecting manufacturers write on the product packaging what cars it is intended for.

When buying oil, you need to remember that:

To operate the engine, 3.75 liters are required;
It is necessary to change the oil and air filters along with the oil;
Do not mix different brands (to avoid the appearance of insoluble sediments);
After draining the waste, its remnants are removed with a special liquid called “flushing”;
During operation, the engine will “eat” oil, so you need to buy a little more of it to top up;
Replacement is carried out, according to the instruction manual, VAZ 2106, no more than every 15,000 kilometers.
Before pouring oil into a VAZ 2106 carburetor engine, you need to think carefully about whether this oil can be poured into old VAZ 2106 carburetor engines, we are talking about a modern “zero” (0W-40, etc.). After all, during the Soviet Union, such oil was not produced. The carburetor engine of the “six”, which has survived to this day, has a lot of wear, and therefore gaps, so in cold weather, the friction-reducing fluid will not be enough for normal engine operation.

What kind of engine oil should I fill the VAZ 2107 engine with injector?

Often, owners of old Zhiguli cars are interested in what kind of engine oil to pour into the VAZ 2107 engine and follow the advice of AvtoVAZ engineers. Faced with the problem of the lack of original oil on store shelves, people become truly confused. But at the same time, it is worth noting that the manufacturer’s recommendations do not relate to the brand itself, but to the quality standards of the motor oil being poured.

When choosing engine oil for the VAZ 2107, special attention should be paid to the classification of products according to the methodology of the Society of Automotive Engineers of the United States in the form of the abbreviation SAE. However, this classification indicates viscosity characteristics and is in no way an indicator of quality.

For injection engines of VAZ 2107 cars, it is recommended to use the following oils:

Esso (Ultra 10W40;
Uniflo 10W40, 15W40);
Shell (Helix Super 10W40);
Novoil (Sint 5W30);
Omskoil (Lux 5W30, 5W40, 10W30, 10W40, 15W40, 20W40);
Norsi (Extra 5W30, 10W30, 5W40, 10W40, 15W40);
Lukoil (Super 5W30, 5W40, 10W40, 15W40;
Luxury 5W40, 10W40, 15W40).

Characteristics of oils

Main classes of oils and their characteristics

Sooner or later, the owner of a used “six” will have a question: “When and what kind of oil should I fill in the VAZ-2106 engine?”, because what VAZ once recommended is no longer produced by our industry.

Modern lubricants are divided into three classes:

Mineral;
Synthetic;
Semi-synthetic.

Mineral oils are made from petroleum using traditional methods and are characterized by their low cost and significant variation in viscosity at negative and positive temperatures. So at -20C, classic mineral oil becomes very thick, comparable in viscosity to plasticine. In fact, this is no longer lubricating or cleaning the engine, but simply a very viscous mass.

The raw materials for synthetic oils are butylene and ethylene gases contained in associated petroleum gas; “synthetics” not only have good viscosity-temperature characteristics, but are also expensive. Some brands have a pour point of -60C, which facilitates easy engine starting in severe frosts.

“Semi-synthetics” is a specially selected mixture of mineral and synthetic oils, hence the properties it has: relatively low cost with fairly good performance characteristics, over a wide temperature range

Marking according to the international standard SAE:

"Mineral" - mineral;
“Fully Synthetic” - synthetic;
"Semi Synthetic" - semi-synthetic.

If on the packaging, after the abbreviation of the SAE standard, there are only numbers, then this lubricant is summer, if after the number there is a Latin “W” - winter, the combined use of numbers before and after the “W” indicates that this is an all-season oil, the first digit means - the degree of frost resistance, the lower the number, the higher the frost resistance, the second softness or hardness reduced to 100C, the higher this number, the hotter the climate the motor can operate.

What kind of oil should I put in the box of a VAZ 2107?

Often, owners of classic Zhiguli cars are interested in what kind of oil to pour into the VAZ 2107 gearbox in order to extend the operating time of the gears. According to the recommendation of AvtoVAZ, transmission oil should belong to the GL-4 or GL-5 group with a viscosity class of SAE75W9 (summer), SAE75W85 (demi-season) or SAE80W85 (winter).

It is recommended to change transmission oil in domestically produced cars once every six months: taking into account the climate in the region and the condition of Russian roads, this frequency seems to be the most optimal.

Seasonality

It is important to decide which oils to pour into the VAZ-2106 engine, taking into account seasonality. In summer and winter, if the climate is moderate and the average temperature for the year is above zero, it is important and rational to pour all-season compounds into the oil sump. They usually have viscosities of 15W20, 15W40 and 10W40. But in winter, preference is given to viscosities 5W30, 5W20 and 10W40. They are suitable for VAZ-2106 cars up to approximately 2002. But for versions 2003 - 2006, it is better to use special winter compounds, the viscosity of which is 0W40 or 0W30.

Nulevki did not exist during the development of the VAZ-2106. These are oils with increased fluidity, which are unsuitable for use on machines with excessively worn power units. The “sixes” have survived to this day, only the bulk of them are operated with engines that have serious wear and tear. This led to the formation of gaps, which during frosts will not allow motor oil with index 0W to work normally. So only in exceptional situations would it be wise to buy such mixtures.

What kind of oil should I pour into the VAZ 2107 axle?

Faced with the problem of replacing the rear axle lubricant, the proud owner of an old Zhiguli is faced with a pressing question: what kind of oil should be poured into the VAZ 2107 axle? According to experts, the best option is transmission oil with a viscosity of 75W90 or 80W90 (API GL-4/GL-5).

It is recommended to change the axle oil based on mileage (every 30-40 thousand kilometers) or every three years, depending on the intensity of use of the vehicle.

Engine life depends greatly on the quality and type of oil used. What kind of oil should I fill in the VAZ 2107 ? The simple answer to this question is simple: “You must use the oil recommended by the manufacturer.” But this issue deserves more detailed consideration.
