The durability and reliability of most components in a car directly depends on the quality of the components and consumables used. Therefore, these components require timely diagnosis and replacement.
In a modern Lada Granta engine, version 8 or 16 valve, such a thing as an oil filter is endowed with very significant functions:
- ensure oil purification, thereby minimizing friction in mating parts;
- facilitate the operation of the unit due to the exclusion of foreign particles from the liquid.
Among the many available on the market, it is difficult to choose an oil filter, but you should tend to purchase those that are noted by the owners as the most reliable.
Top 5. MANN W914/2
Affordable price, excellent oil pumpability and consistent “German” quality have made the MANN W914/2 filter system the most popular among Lada Granta owners.
According to reviews from owners of the 16-valve Lada Granta, MANN W914/2 is one of the best filters for this car. Pressure appears in the oil system almost immediately, and for an engine with two camshafts this means a lot. The quality of original products has been stable for decades. For this reason, many Granta users have no doubt which oil filter to choose: from time to time they take the “Mann” one and don’t worry about anything. The only thing that can overshadow the experience of using this product is encountering a fake.

Selecting a Lada granta oil filter
The main purpose of an oil purification filter is to remove foreign particles and impurities from engine oil. Oil filters can vary in mounting, size, and opening pressure of the bypass valve.
The Lada Granta is equipped with a VAZ engine from the modern 8 and 16 valve range. That is why the recommendations for installing an oil filter for the Lada Granta will be the same as, for example, for the Niva, Kalina or Priora.
It is recommended that the oil filter be replaced along with engine lubricant, as indicated in the regulations. This should be done every ten to fifteen thousand kilometers. The service life of the MF is reduced if you frequently use the vehicle and have an aggressive driving style: any increased loads will negatively affect the performance characteristics of the filter.
Fuel filters "Lada Granta"
The cleanliness and efficiency of the gas filter have a significant impact on the operational life of the vehicle’s fuel system. There are two main functions of the TF installed on the Granta:
- protection of the diesel power unit and other components of the car’s fuel system from the negative effects of impurities contained in low-quality diesel fuel;
- delay and elimination of third-party substances and neutralization of their negative impact on the vehicle’s power unit.
The performance, cleaning efficiency and service life of the Lada Granta gas filter have a direct impact on the operation and functioning of other vehicle systems.
MANN brand filter element is one of the most efficient and reliable
The design of the fuel filter is standard for all AvtoVAZ cars. The part is small in size and resembles a cylinder with two outlets. It consists of two parts:
- a coarse cleaning element to remove large impurities from the fuel;
- a fine cleaning element that retains fine fractions.
The fuel entering the engine is qualitatively cleaned of foreign components and dirt, passing through a set of filters. The efficiency of work depends on the cleanliness of the cellular structures. After the insides of the element become clogged with dirt, it must be replaced with a new one.
When assembled, cars of this brand are equipped with “original” fuel filters 2190–1117010. On both sides of them there are latches with which it is secured in the fuel system. Similar old-style elements were previously installed using a threaded connection, but in Grant they were replaced with parts with snaps.
Catalog number of the Lada Granta fuel filter - 2190–1117010
The cost of the consumable is about 200–250 rubles.
Fuel filters installed on different models of Lada cars have a similar design, but are not interchangeable. The new filter element must match the car according to its basic parameters. The packaging usually provides information about which brands and models of cars it is suitable for. To avoid mistakes, it is best to purchase gas filters from the car manufacturer and the model that the car is equipped with at the factory.
Original
Most car owners prefer to install only original components on their car, which were originally on the car when purchased. The following original oil filters are suitable for installation:
- 21080-1012005-08;
- 21050-1012005-00;
- 21080-1012005-09;
- 21080-1012005-00.
All of them are considered original and are installed on VAZ cars. Specifically, the Lada Granta is equipped with an oil purification filter, produced and sold under article number 21080101200508.
Do not forget that original components (even for Russian cars) are often counterfeited, so during the selection process it is important not to buy a fake. The quality of counterfeits leaves much to be desired; they will not be able to provide complete fuel purification and will quickly fail.
Carefully check the information on the box with pictures from the Internet. The color, dimensions, and shape of the packaging must correspond to the catalog images. Check that the packaging is free of defects, torn parts, and that the product itself is free of chips, cracks or paint runs. Most often, fake parts are painted sloppily.
Analogs
If you don’t want to overpay for a brand, then take a closer look at inexpensive analogues. They are not inferior to the original in terms of characteristics and perform all functions at the same high level. For example, the following brands are popular among car owners:
Name | vendor code | Price, rub.) |
GOODWILL | OG-313 160 | 160-180 |
FORTECH | FO-018 | 150-170 |
FILTRON | OP643/3 | 150-170 |
LOGEM | LRT-328 | 80-100 |
MECAFILTER | ELH4196 | 100-130 |
Remember to carefully check the components you purchase. To avoid counterfeiting, contact only trusted sellers. Also, do not forget to check the appearance of the packaging and the product itself.
Check if there are any extraneous inscriptions or external defects on them. If you doubt the seller’s honesty, be sure to ask for certificates for the products sold and read them carefully.
What filters can be installed?
Before installing a new filter element on the Lada Granta, you need to figure out which consumable material is best to choose. The purpose of the oil filter is to clean the engine oil from wear particles formed during the operation of rubbing parts, as well as from unburnt solid fuel particles.
In most cases, the oil filter assembly is a metal cup in which a filter element folded like an accordion and two safety valves are installed: anti-drainage and bypass.
Oil filter element design
The most popular manufacturers of filter materials that can be installed on the Lada Granta are the following brands: Renault, Mann, Knecht, Union, etc. One of the best filters can rightfully be considered the original Renault filter 7700274177 and its analogues.
Name | Manufacturer country | Cost, rub. |
LOGEM LRT-328 | Taiwan | 80 |
FILTRON OP643/3 | Poland | 170 |
FORTECH FO-018 | Korea | 170 |
GOODWILL OG-313 160 | Great Britain | 160 |
KLAXCAR FRANCE FH006Z | France | 140 |
MECAFILTER ELH4196 | France | 130 |
True, there is a possibility of purchasing a fake, so it is better to buy in specialized stores and require certificates for the products. Imported consumables are expensive, so you can use domestic filters made for VAZ cars.

The process of replacing the oil filter on a Lada Granta
To remove the old filter element and install a new one, prepare in advance:
- new motor oil;
- a container for draining waste liquid (water bottle, oil canister);
- set of wrenches;
- puller to unscrew the MF;
- rags;
- funnel;
- new oil filter.
Before starting work, you need to warm up the Lada Granta - that is, drive it. Wait about fifteen minutes and begin the replacement process. Then the liquid will have time to completely drain into the crankcase. It is advisable to install the machine on an inspection hole or overpass; you can use a lift. Then:
- Open the hood. Find the oil filler hole and unscrew the cap from it so that the lubricant drains faster.
- Drain the treatment by unscrewing the drain plug. It is under the car. Please note: the liquid is hot, so you need to be careful when draining it.
- Place a pre-prepared drain container under the engine. While the used oil is poured out, you can begin to directly replace the filter element.
- Using a special wrench, unscrew the oil filter. It is not necessary to use a puller - you can try to unscrew it by hand or with improvised means (for example, a flat-head screwdriver, a belt or a chain).
- Fill the new filter halfway with fresh, unused oil.
- Wipe the area where the previous filter consumable was located with a clean rag. This is necessary to ensure that residual dirt does not penetrate into the new lubricant.
- Also lubricate the sealing rubber with unused liquid.
- Gently tighten the oil filter without applying any force. As a result, the rubber band should touch the cylinder block. After this, turn it another quarter turn.
- After you tighten the plug on the drain neck, fill in new lubricant. Then screw on the oil filler cap.
- Run the engine for a couple of minutes. After you turn off the engine, carefully check to see if there are any lubricant leaks. If you notice any leaks, simply tighten the necessary parts.
- Make sure the oil level is correct. If it is less than necessary, add liquid.
Use only high-quality lubricant and do not forget to replace it on time. If you are afraid of damaging other elements of the car system or are not sure that you can cope with such a task, it would be best to contact a salon.
Removal and replacement instructions
The oil filter is changed according to the regulations along with replacing the engine lubricant. Lada Granta manufacturers recommend changing lubricants after 10-15 thousand kilometers. The period between replacements is affected by the operating conditions of the machine. If the car experiences increased loads, the service life should be halved.
Tools
To carry out the procedure for removing and replacing consumable filter elements on the Lada Granta, you will need the following materials and tools:
- set of wrenches;
- new oil filter;
- fresh motor oil;
- puller for unscrewing the filter;
- container for draining waste;
- clean rags;
- funnel.
To make work easier, the machine should be driven onto an overpass, inspection hole, or raised using a lift. You can use an empty oil canister or water bottle as a container.
Stages
The oil and oil filter must be changed on a warm Lada Granta after the trip. You should wait about 15 minutes for all the liquid to drain into the crankcase. After this, you can begin a phased replacement.
- First you need to open the hood and unscrew the cap from the oil filler hole so that the lubricant is better than the glass.
- Next, you should move under the car to drain the waste. To do this, you need to unscrew the drain plug.
Using a wrench, unscrew the drain plug
Be careful not to get burned by the hot liquid that drains.
- You need to place a prepared drain container under the engine.
- While the waste is draining, you can replace the filter element. Using a puller, you need to unscrew the oil filter.
We unscrew the old consumable using a puller.
If you don’t have a special key, you can try to unscrew it by hand. If that doesn’t work, you can use improvised means: a chain, a belt, a flat-head screwdriver, piercing the body with it and using it as a lever. - The place where the filter was located must be wiped with a clean rag so that contaminants do not get into the new lubricant.
- Next, you need to take a new filter consumable and fill it halfway with fresh oil.
Pour new fluid into the oil filter.
At the same time, lubricate the rubber seal with this fluid.
Lubricate the rubber seal with oil - The oil filter should be tightened by hand without force until the rubber band touches the cylinder block. Then the housing is rotated another ¾ turn.
- By tightening the plug on the drain neck, you can fill in new lubricant.
- After filling in the required amount of lubricant, you need to tighten the oil filler cap and start the engine for a few minutes.
Pour new lubricant into the engine - After turning off the engine, you need to check that there are no leaks anywhere; if there are any, their cause should be eliminated by tightening the necessary parts.
- At the last stage, the oil level is checked and oil is added if necessary.
During the operation of the Lada Granta car, it is necessary to constantly monitor the quality of the lubricating fluid and change it along with the oil filter on time.
Reviews
Ivan, Moscow, 25 years old: The original filter did not suit me, as it unexpectedly quickly fails - I refuel with inexpensive gasoline. Now I installed a Goodwill filter and am happy with everything, replacement is much cheaper, and the consumable itself lasts longer.
Daria, Tomsk, 31 years old: For several years now I have been installing only MF from Fortech on my car. The quality is excellent and the filters last longer than usual. The cost is higher than its analogues, but it suits me.
Alexey, Ufa, 29 years old: I recently changed filters for the first time and became interested in Logem brand products. because it was inexpensive. I've been using MF for several weeks now, the quality is amazing. Let's see how it behaves next.

Which oil filter for LADA cars is better to choose
The oil filter is designed to remove contaminants from the engine oil. Oil filters differ not only in size and mounting, but also in the opening pressure of the bypass valve. Let's figure out which oil filter should be installed on modern Lada cars.
The modern line of 8 and 16 valve VAZ engines (detailed table) is used on cars such as Lada Granta, Priora, Kalina, Largus, Niva, Vesta or XRAY. The manufacturer's recommendations regarding the use of oil filters are the same for all modern VAZ engines, and accordingly for these cars. Where the oil filter is located is shown in the diagram (position No. 11):
The manufacturer recommends changing the oil filter along with the engine oil. The catalog numbers of oil filters should be as follows:
- 21050-1012005-00;
- 21080-1012005-00;
- 21080-1012005-08;
- 21080-1012005-09.
- 152085758R (for Renault-Nissan engine on Lada XRAY)
Currently, the oil filter can be produced in various types, “Nevsky”, “Mahle”, etc. So, which oil filters are good? Reviews of popular car magazines have repeatedly checked the service life of filters of different brands, while monitoring the quality of filtration of the reference mixture. Based on the presented ratings, it is impossible to accurately determine the leader, because... The TOP 10 varies depending on the source. For example, the popular Bosch P3274 oil filter took first place according to one online magazine, but in another source it occupies only 6th position.
To the question : What brand of oil filter is installed on Vesta from the factory? Which brand of oil filter is recommended for installation?
AVTOVAZ responded like this:
Beware of fakes. Try to buy an oil filter in trusted stores or from an authorized dealer. Sometimes a fake can be identified by certain criteria, for example, for MANN filters: the box should indicate the website, the PCT sign, and instead of “Germany” it should say “Germany”. The anti-drainage valve should be white, the instructions should be graphic and not text, etc. What oil filters can you recommend? Let us remind you that filter replacement is presented in this manual.

Preparing to change engine oil
A prerequisite is to warm up the car - the result from the replacement will be better. We find an inspection hole or overpass, prepare replacement oil and a new filter.
Today, workshops offer workplace rental services. You can rent a normal lift for an hour and do everything slowly yourself.
What you will need for work :
- New oil;
- Container for draining waste (at least 4 liters);
- Hexagon 12 for unscrewing the drain plug;
- Oil filter puller;
- New filter;
- If you plan to replace with flushing, use a canister of flushing oil.
Working with a lift will give full access to the drain neck and filter from below.
How to change oil on an 8 valve Grant
So, the engine is warmed up to operating temperature, the car is in the pit, the tools are at hand. How to change oil without flushing:
- Open the hood, remove the oil filler cap ;
- We climb under the car: if the crankcase is covered with protection or a factory metal sheet, we dismantle it ;
- we find the drain neck on the engine, place container under it ;
- Using a 12mm hexagon (or a 17mm wrench - depending on the type of plug) we begin to unscrew the drain plug. Please note that hot waste will flow from underneath it - at the end, sharply move your hand with the plug to the side so that it does not flood;
- After removing the plug, leave the car for 5-10 minutes so that everything is glassed;
If the car does not “eat” oil and there are no obvious leaks on the internal combustion engine, about 3 liters should drain.
Disconnect the crankshaft position sensor (CPS) plug! There is a danger of damaging it with the puller during operation. We climb under the car again:
- Use a puller to unscrew the oil filter . Keep in mind that it will also leak! Not much, but it will be;
- Fill the new filter halfway and wipe it around the perimeter of the seal;
Rubbing the ring will help it fit more tightly to the attachment point. Preparing the installation site:
- We clean the place where the filter is attached from dirt, sealant residues, etc.;
- We install it in place . As soon as it starts to spin with force, tighten it three-quarters of a turn.
When tightening the filter there is a danger of overtightening. This may cause the edge to crack and oil to leak out. Further:
- tighten the drain cap! Otherwise, new oil will drain from the engine.
- Fill with -3.2 liters;
- Close the filler neck , wait a few minutes and check the level on the dipstick - ideally the mark will be between MIN and MAX.
- According to the manual, the Granta with manual transmission includes 3.2 liters; Automatic transmission - 4.4 liters.
The oil level should be read around the indicated mark.
If you took off the DPKV chip, put it back on! Otherwise the car will not start. The last thing is to start the car . The oil pressure indicator may come on for a few seconds after starting the engine.
If it goes out, everything is fine. If not, turn off the car and check the level.
Don’t forget to check that the sensor is working - when you turn on the ignition, its indication on the panel lights up and immediately goes out.
Features of changing the oil on Lada 16 cl.
The whole process is identical to the one described above.
The only difference is that you can remove the filter on a 16-valve engine only from below after dismantling the factory (or additional) crankcase protection - if it does not have a window for such work.

There is often a recommendation when dismantling the filter not to use a puller, but to punch it with a screwdriver and twist it. We strongly do not recommend such vandalism - it can lead to damage to internal combustion engine components and excess dirt during operation.
How to choose a filter
One of the most popular brands of filters for Lada is Mann. Accordingly, fakes are often found. Let's look at the signs of the original part .
The reputation of a reliable brand has led to frequent counterfeits of Mann parts.
The original differs as follows:
- Laser marking of the part number on the body is dotted, barely visible in the light;
- The body is blue – matte – NOT glossy;
- Has stickers on the body and packaging indicating PCT compliance;
- Made in Germany - no Germany or anything else - there must be an inscription Made in Germany ;
- The O-ring has three yellow stripes .
You can protect yourself from counterfeit products by purchasing a filter from authorized dealers. They take only original spare parts for service stations.
Replacement with flushing
Sometimes replacement with flushing is required - using flushing oil. Most often this is required when switching from one type to another. For example, we poured semi-synthetic, but decided to pour synthetic.
For flushing, a special flushing oil is used - that’s what it’s called, and it costs several times less than usual. Do not use used oil for flushing!
For flushing:
- After draining the waste, screw in the drain plug;
- the oil filter , it’s still old;
- fill the rinse in the required volume;
- close the filler cap and start the car;
- we drive the car out of the garage and leave it running for 10 minutes - DO NOT leave the car running in the garage - this is dangerous ;
- we drive it back, turn it off;
- unscrew the drain plug and drain all the flushing;
- further - from the moment of filter replacement - as described above .
The rinse contains special cleaning additives. It cannot be used on an ongoing basis - it is designed for short-term use.

What kind of oil should I fill in the Lada Granta when replacing?
One of the key components without which no passenger car can operate is motor oil. You need to select oil for the Lada Granta engine taking into account the car manufacturer’s technical instructions. How the power unit will operate depends on the correct choice. All motor oils have an oily base and have special chemical properties.
Any oil contains special additives that cover the internal parts of the engine with a special film. This saves the power plant in extreme operating conditions. Due to the action of the oil, the friction force during operation of the unit is reduced, and all parts last longer and wear out less. Read about the choice of gear oil in the article on our website.
Tips for selecting engine oil
Oil change kit
If you study the range of motor oils offered on the modern market, it is very wide. Motor oils must be selected taking into account the specific model. In this material we will figure out how to choose oil for the Lada Granta. You can fill the engines of these cars with different oils, each of which has certain characteristics and must meet the manufacturer’s requirements.
Some types of oils today have gained trust among Grant owners. According to the factory’s recommendation, the oil in a Lada Granta engine should be changed for the first time after 2 thousand kilometers, and all subsequent changes should be made every 15 thousand kilometers. In total, the engine block holds 3.5 liters of lubricant.
The automaker indicates in the documentation that oil consumption of 1 liter per 1000 kilometers is the norm. Of course, this is a lot and in reality power units do not consume so much oil unless they are in good technical condition. In addition, the amount of oil consumed depends on factors such as:
- features of car operation;
- viscosity;
- quality
If you frequently drive at high speeds and accelerate frequently, your engine oil will be very expensive. Also, a power unit that has not been run in consumes more oil, since the piston system must grind in.
Pros and cons of Mobil Super oil
Let's figure out what kind of oil to fill in the Lada Granta? The lubricant should protect the power unit, extending its service life. One of the best oils among many motorists is Mobil Super 15W-40, which belongs to the all-season category. This oil is successfully used not only with Lada Granta engines, but also with:
- diesel units;
- gasoline engines;
- engines with a turbine.
The only negative characteristics of Mobil Super oil include the impossibility of using it in the northern regions of Russia, since the liquid begins to solidify at temperatures below -26 degrees Celsius. There is a solution to this: you can alternate different oils twice a year before each season.
It is better to be guided by the qualification data used by foreign and domestic car owners. To accurately identify the brand of oil filled at the factory, you need to find the tag under the hood. Most often, Lukoil semi-synthetic is poured into the Lada Granta engine at the factory.
We choose the best oil in terms of price and quality
When choosing engine oil for the Lada Granta, you should remember that there are many fakes on the market. To purchase a good lubricant, you need to contact brand stores or order oil online from specialized companies.
The oil should be changed at least once a year or every 8-10 thousand kilometers. Additionally, change the oil filter. Grant owners have long fallen in love with the Luxe Hit 10W-40 brand lubricating fluid, which has high durability, has a low level of volatility and contains additives such as:
Due to the unique composition, the formation of carbon deposits in the engine and on its parts is reduced. The best performance as a result of tests was found for the following types of lubricating fluids:
Owners of domestic cars often wonder about choosing an oil when cold weather sets in. Then six months pass and everything repeats, but now oil is required for the hot season. Note that with a wide range of lubricating fluids, there are not so many winter oils:
- 0W – up to -30 degrees below zero;
- 5W – up to -25;
- 10W – up to -15;
- 15W – up to -10-15;
- 20W – up to -5-10;
- 25W – up to -0-5.
The oil suitable for specific climatic conditions should be such that the car starts easily even on frosty days in winter. It is also important what condition the following components and characteristics are in, such as:
In order for the Lada Granta to develop maximum power and fuel consumption not to increase, it is imperative to use only high-quality purified oils. For example, with 10W40 oil, domestic cars start easily even at -25 degrees below zero. If there are any problems, even at -20 the car will have difficulty starting.
About oil consumption
The Lada Granta engine may consume a certain amount of oil. According to the car manual, the manufacturer talks about a maximum consumption of 1 liter per 1000 kilometers during normal use. The volume depends on the quality of the oil, operating conditions and viscosity of the lubricant.
For example, high speeds and intense driving use more oil. It is also important to remember that a new engine consumes more oil, since its piston rings, pistons and cylinder walls have not had time to grind in.

Oil filter and its functions
A cleaning device for a car engine consists of several elements:
- The body is a metal cylinder with a lid.
- Filter insert. Made from special purpose corrugated paper.
- Inlet valve.
- Anti-drainage mechanism that prevents the passage of oil after the engine is turned off.
Oil filters ensure stable operation of car engine mechanisms. The main function is to collect abrasive particles using a perforated paper liner through which engine oil is pumped under pump pressure. The speed and quality of oil purification is ensured by the type of liner and element size.
Oil filters for VAZ and foreign cars are selected individually for each car.
How to choose the right filter element for Granta?
Which filter is better is difficult to figure out the first time. During the tedious process of choosing a given “consumable”, you should pay attention to its features, the main ones of which are its geometric parameters. A large army of owners are puzzled by the estimated resource of the element indicated in the article - the oil filter. Regardless of the quality aspects of this product, it should be replaced at least after 5-7 thousand km of travel. In the opposite situation, it will become impossible to “vouch” for the safety and durability of the internal components of the motor.
To avoid mistakes with selection and subsequent replacement, you should carefully prepare. It is not recommended to forget about the “golden” rule: the lower the quality of the oil used, the sooner the oil filter will lose its condition. In view of the above, you should resort to purchasing and filling only high-quality oils from global manufacturing brands applicable to Lada Granta engines.
If you are wondering which filter to choose, then, armed with reviews from owners, you should consider the following options:
- “UNICO FILTER LI” (the filter has won praise from the majority of “Grantavods”);
- "MANN-FILTER W" (balanced product, but the price is steep);
- options with a more affordable price: “FIL FILTER ZP” or “PUROLATOR L”.
When making a purchase, we focus on the engine size and the operational requirements for a particular “consumable”.
Therefore, we advise you to pay attention to the packaging when purchasing a filter; it should have markings for the car model on which you are installing it.
Top 1. BIG Filter GB-102M
6 reviews taken into account from resources: Reviewer
The best price The domestic BIG GB oil filter costs 60% less than the most popular filter element among Grant owners from MANN.
- Price: 191 rub.
Despite the budget cost, the domestic filter element is in demand not only in Russia. The brand's products are successfully exported to neighboring countries and European countries, where quality requirements are the highest. Most often, the GB-102M oil filter is installed on the 8-valve Lada Granta. When using a more fluid lubricant 5w-40 or 5w-30, pressure in the system does not appear with the first stroke of the pump. This happens due to the increased filter capacity. Also, some owners have complaints related to the purchase of counterfeit products.
