All parts of the machine come into contact with each other to one degree or another, that is, friction occurs. The task of engine oil is to maintain this friction at the required level, to prevent wear of spare parts, their overheating and other phenomena that can lead to failure of individual components and the entire car as a whole. And the oil filter on a VAZ 2110 car protects the liquid from particles of debris and various contaminants getting into it. The oil must be as clean as possible in order to do its job efficiently.

Consequences of untimely replacement

If you do not change the oil filter in time, this can lead to dire consequences, including:

Instead of smoothing out friction, oil contaminated due to a bad filter will begin to wear out parts;
The power of the power unit will decrease;
The heat transfer rate will decrease because the heat dissipation will decrease;
The motor will constantly overheat;
The efficiency of the machine will drop noticeably.

Oil and filter are a single mechanism that has a certain shelf life. After its expiration, the mechanism is replaced with a new one in order to maintain the same level of vehicle performance.

Choosing an oil is not difficult, since the instruction manual clearly states which oil and with what parameters is suitable for the “ten”. But purchasing a filter is more difficult, since there is not much information about them in the manual, plus the information is often dubious.

Selecting an oil filter for VAZ 2110

The task of motor oil is not only to lubricate the surfaces of rubbing parts and cool them, but also to remove small fractions that appear as a result of wear. Let's assume that if this lubricant were not present, the engine would collapse very quickly. The binder must also enter the motor cleaned. To do this, any car is equipped with an oil filter through which lubricant circulates. Thus, heavy particles remain in the filter.

Popular manufacturers

It's no secret that a brand is often an indicator of quality. Therefore, when choosing a filter, try to focus on the manufacturer. Now there are a lot of them, but among this diversity several leaders can be identified. They have proven themselves well as manufacturers of oil filters for the VAZ 2110.

If you are interested in inexpensive solutions, then pay attention to such companies as:

Alpha;
Vicks;
SKT;
Zolex;
UFI.

Alpha is a domestic filter made in Russia. Zolex, SKT and UFI products say that these are German and Italian filters. But in fact, they were produced in China by order of German and Italian companies. Consequently, Germany and Italy are indicated on the packaging, but the quality is still Chinese, since the filters are made in the Middle Kingdom.

Alpha

As the practice of VAZ 2110 owners shows, the most optimal in terms of functionality, reliability and quality was, oddly enough, the domestic Alpha filter.

There are also medium-priced oil filters that are in demand among “ten” owners - Belgian-made Champion and Standard from our Russian manufacturer.

Their quality is decent, no complaints. In terms of price-quality ratio, the choice should be made in their favor.

Oil filter LADA 2108-01012005-08

In Russia, the VAZ 2110 car was produced in 1995-2007. with 1.5 and 1.6 liter petrol engines. Regardless of the engine size, one of two oil filters was installed on the VAZ 2110 from the factory:

LADA 21080101200508 Part price – from 190 rubles. The oil filter manufacturer is Avtoagregat JSC. The company is the main supplier of original filter components to the assembly line for VAZ cars . The oil filter from this manufacturer has many negative reviews from car owners who have used it. The main disadvantages are poor quality and small area of the filter element;

Salute 21081012005010. Average price – 160 rubles. Another supplier of original oil filters for VAZ since 1997. The spare part model has an original bypass valve design, which ensures constant oil flow through the filter, even when the filter element is clogged. Among the disadvantages is low-quality filter paper, which often develops punctures during operation.

How to choose

A brand is one thing, but a competent approach to the issue of choosing an oil filter is quite another.

A standard filter has a main element - a filter part. It is created by mixing synthetic, glass and cellulose fibers. To make the product tougher, it is impregnated with special compounds. At the output we have a kind of paper, which is the filter element.

A rubber cuff prevents oil from leaving the oil lines after the engine has stopped.

When purchasing a filter, pay attention to several basic parameters:

Filter housing and cover. These parts must be highly durable. Elasticity is allowed only on seals.
Brand. Still, it is of great importance when choosing. Focus on owner reviews, read the forums of VAZ 2110 car owners.
Quality certificates. The best oil filters are ISO certified. Therefore, the presence of such a designation indicates the right choice.
Price. A good filter designed for the VAZ 2110 should cost about 150 rubles. It is not recommended to take cheaper analogues, and there is little point in using expensive ones.

Reviews

Evgeny Maloy, Moscow, 35 years old: For a long time I used only original filters. Somehow the store didn’t have the necessary consumables, so I bought an analogue and after that I realized how bad the original was.

Fedor Solntsev, Krasnoyarsk, 29 years old: I bet what is on sale. The engine runs and is fine.

Dmitry Makarov, Tomsk, 27 years old: The original active filter paper was torn. She clogged the oil circuit. After flushing the engine, I use only analogues.

How to spot a fake

Unfortunately, now almost everything is counterfeited. Even oil filters are produced by underground companies, passing off their products as products from leading manufacturers.

To avoid becoming a victim of such deception, pay attention to the following features of counterfeits:

The instructions are presented in the form of a regular inscription;
The font is blurry and not clear;
The O-ring can be removed without much effort;
There is no varnish coating on the outside;
The bypass valve spring is noticeable because it is not installed level. This is a characteristic feature of Chinese counterfeits.

How often should I change

There is no clear answer to this question. It all depends on the confluence of a number of factors. The frequency is specified in the owner's manual, but this is based on using the vehicle under normal conditions without excessive loads.

If the oil has acquired a dark color, the car clearly says it’s time to change the filter. Dark oil is a sign of wear and combustion products entering it.

In general, the frequency of element replacement depends on several factors:

The year of manufacture of the car and the performance of all its components;
Regularity of machine operation;
Driving style;
Seasonality of car use;
Quality of oil used;
The quality of the fuel poured into the car.

Oil filter device

The unit is one of the most important parts of the vehicle structure. Without it, the life of the car would be reduced by three times. The VAZ 2110 oil filter promotes several processes in a car engine at once:

engine oil filtration;
cooling of the rubbing surfaces of the power unit;
improving sound insulation of a running engine.

What is the oil filter made of? In most cases, it is a cylinder. At the bottom of the housing there are holes arranged in a circle through which contaminated engine oil flows in and cleaned oil comes out. In the center there is a thread for attaching the filter. The filter element itself is placed inside a metal case and consists of special paper in the form of an accordion.

The oil filter design has two valves:

bypass - serves to relieve excess pressure in case of ineffective filtration of the cold oil composition;
anti-drainage – prevents the binder from flowing out of the filter.

Replacement

Now we proceed directly to the procedure for replacing the filter and at the same time the oil.

Warm up the car properly, lift it using a lift and drive into the inspection hole.
Unscrew the plug from the neck so that a vacuum does not appear. This way the oil can drain normally without delay from all parts.
Be sure to place some container with a volume of about 4-5 liters under the drain hole.
There is a plug on the engine oil pan that needs to be unscrewed.
Place a container under it carefully and wait until all the oil drains out. This will take about 10 minutes minimum.
Proceed carefully. By warming up the engine, you also warmed up the oil itself. It became less viscous, but hot. Do not allow it to come into contact with the skin, otherwise burns will occur.
To unscrew the plug, use a long-handled wrench. It is not scary if the plug falls into the oil drain container. After it has cooled, take it out calmly and wipe it with a rag to put it back in place.
Remove the oil filter by hand or with a puller.
Give some time for the oil to drain from the motor fitting.
New oil is poured into the filter approximately to the middle of the housing. This will prevent the creation of an air lock when starting the engine for the first time with new oil and filter.
Screw the plug onto the crankcase. It is not necessary to use gaskets, since the shape of the fastener ensures reliable and tight closure.
The oil filter is screwed in by hand; you don't need a tool.
Now you can add the remaining oil.
Fill gradually to avoid overfilling. Monitor the oil level in the crankcase.

The key to successfully changing filters is to follow the instructions, use high-quality parts, as well as regularly inspect the condition of the lubricant and filter component. Surprisingly, such an element as a filter has a huge impact on the efficiency and service life of the VAZ 2110 engine.

Oil functions

The oil operating in the engine system performs several important functions at once:

Maintains the level of friction between motor components at a certain level;
Increases the density of blockages, which prevents gas breakthroughs;
Has an anti-corrosion effect on engine parts;
Reduces the temperature of parts that, due to their design features, are constantly heating up;
Does not allow wear products to interact with the elements of the power unit.

The filter is extremely important because it filters the lubricating fluid, traps large metal particles and debris, which significantly extends the service life of the engine and the lubricating fluid used.

The best oil filter VAZ 2110-12

The oil filter is changed quite often and is an important consumable in a car. If the oil filter is of high quality , then we remember about it only at the next maintenance, otherwise an unscheduled replacement will be required.
Why do you need an oil filter? The main purpose of the filter is to remove contaminants from the engine oil. It also performs some cooling role, because... absorbs and removes heat that occurs during friction during engine operation. To some extent, it performs the roles of insulation (sealing for piston rings between the liner and the piston) and noise absorption (reducing the level of mechanical noise).

Signs of a bad oil filter - when starting a cold engine, the oil pressure light does not go out immediately , but only 2-3 seconds after starting the engine. And all because it doesn’t hold the valve - it dumps oil into the sump overnight.

When to change the oil filter? Usually it is changed along with changing the oil in the internal combustion engine. Or they change it when a low-quality oil filter is encountered.

How to choose an oil filter? Note:

on the filter housing and cover (they must be strong and the seal must be elastic).
on the manufacturer's brand (it is better to choose an oil filter that is popular and dominates the survey).
on certification data (it is desirable that the filter complies with the international ISO quality standard).

The price of an oil filter for a VAZ 2110 is approximately 100-150 rubles.

Replacing the oil filter on a VAZ 2110 is quite simple (if you don’t know where it is , then use the instructions), try unscrewing the oil filter by hand. If it doesn’t work, then you can pierce the oil filter with a screwdriver and unscrew it using the resulting lever. There is no need to drain the oil to replace the filter; when changing the filter, a small amount of oil will run out, which should be added after installing the new oil filter.
