How much oil is in the box of a VAZ 2107 - the volume of oil in the box

Author: Victor

Timely control of the level and change of lubricant in a VAZ 2022 car extends the service life of all internal components and units of the unit. When purchasing a car, owners need to familiarize themselves with how often the oil in the VAZ 2107 gearbox is changed and how to carry out this process themselves.

Frequency of lubricant replacement

According to official regulations, changing the gearbox oil on a car with a carburetor or injection engine should be carried out every 60 thousand kilometers or once every three years. It all depends on what happens faster. There are other nuances that affect the frequency of changing the lubricant, for example, the characteristics of the oil used. If the owner fills the gearbox of his car with low-quality fluid or motor oil instead of transmission oil, then the frequency of its replacement will be significantly lower. In this case, the structural elements of the gearbox may be destroyed from the inside.

How much to fill

Having selected the liquid, you can now decide on the volume. So, for a manual 5-speed gearbox, the standard level is set at 1.6 liters, or 1.3 liters for a 4-speed gearbox - this is exactly how much oil should be filled after the gearbox is completely cleaned of old oil. If you do not do this, you will not be able to enter the full volume.

What oil is better to use?

Now let’s look at what kind of lubricant should be poured into the 5-speed transmission of VAZ 2107 cars. In classic cars, the manufacturer recommends using a fluid that meets the GL-4 or GL-5 standards. In this case, the viscosity classification of substances poured into the box should be 75W-90, 75W-85 or 80W-85. Most car owners use oils that meet the GL-4 standard. Such fluids are intended for vehicles with stepped transmissions operating at high speeds and low torque. Also, the use of oils is allowed at low speeds with high torque.

GL-4 class transmission fluids contain a high content of additives designed to improve the technical characteristics of the fluid.

Car owners often add such oils for the winter to ensure good viscosity in cold weather. One of the optimal fluid options is Shell Spirax S5 ATE 75W-90 lubricant.

User Lesha Master in his video showed how the procedure for replacing transmission fluid is performed on classic VAZ cars.

Selection of oil for manual transmission VAZ-2107

It is logical that before changing the oil, you first need to study several important parameters. First, let's pay attention to the type of oil - synthetic, semi-synthetic and mineral. For the “seven” you should not spend money on expensive synthetics, and the best option would be semi-synthetics.

Mineral water, in turn, is recommended for cars with high mileage (you will also have to change the oil more often). In addition, it is important to pay special attention to the brand, viscosity and tolerances. For the machine in question, you can prefer a product from imported or domestic companies. For example, Shell Spirax S5 oil with viscosity parameters 75W-90 and quality level GL4 or GL5 has proven itself well. More affordable options include the brands Lukoil, Rosneft, G-Energy and others.

Level control and required volume

Experts recommend monitoring the transmission fluid level in the gearbox at least every 10 thousand kilometers.

As for how many liters are poured into the gearbox, the volume of the device depends on the number of stages:

• the volume of five-speed units is 1.6 liters;
• Four-speed gearboxes need 1.35 liters.

If you need to add lubricant, you should first check its level in the system. This should be done after the engine and gearbox of the car have cooled down, so that all the oil has time to drain from the inner walls of the transmission.

The stages of work will be as follows:

1. The vehicle is driven into a pit or overpass.
2. Using a rag or wire brush, clean the drain and filler caps from dirt. You also need to clean the surface of the crankcase around the plugs.
3. Using a 17mm wrench, unscrew the filler cap located on the unit body.
4. There is no dipstick for checking the level in the VAZ 2107 gearbox. Therefore, a screwdriver can be used to measure the amount of lubricant in the transmission system. If the oil volume is normal, then the fluid level should be at the lower edge of the filler hole.
5. If the diagnostics showed that the amount of lubricant is less than required, then the liquid should be topped up and the cap should be screwed on tightly. If the oil level is critically low, you need to diagnose the condition of the gearbox shaft seals. If there are drops of transmission fluid on the gearbox housing, it is necessary to check the integrity of the unit. Check the quality of fixation of the transmission housing covers, tighten the nuts if necessary. If the seals or gaskets on the gearbox are worn out, they need to be replaced.

User Sergey Redko in his video talked about how much oil can go into the transmission of a VAZ 2107 car.

Reasons for changing gear oil in a VAZ 2107 gearbox

Replacing the transmission fluid in the “seven” box may be necessary for the following reasons:

• When extraneous sounds and creaks . Gradually, the liquid loses its properties, and particles of metal and moisture can get into it. In turn, this leads to accelerated wear of parts.
• Purchasing a used car . Especially when it is unknown how long ago the former owner changed the fluid.

The dipstick, which has 2 marks: max and min you find out the level of transmission fluid in the VAZ 2017 - you need to add it if the level is below the min mark.

We change it with our own hands

You can change the transmission oil in the 5th or 4th gearbox of a VAZ 2107 car with a carburetor or injector engine with the help of specialists or yourself. Below we will look at how to change and fill in new grease with your own hands.

Preparation

To replace the lubricant, you must prepare the following:

• a special syringe with a tube for pouring oil into the unit;
• a cut-off bottle or other container with a volume of up to two liters into which the waste liquid will be drained;
• wrench 17;
• hexagon 12;
• fresh oil to fill the system;
• rag.

User Alexey Romanov made a video in which he demonstrated in detail the process of replacing transmission fluid in the domestic “Seven”.

Stages of work

Change the lubricant as follows:

1. The change procedure is performed on a warm car. This will allow the hot transmission fluid with all wear products to exit the unit faster. But be careful, because on a warm vehicle the fluid temperature can reach 90 degrees.
2. Using a wrench, unscrew the oil filler cap on the transmission unit.
3. Before changing the lubricant, the used substance must be drained. To do this, find a drain hole and place a container under it into which the waste will flow. Using a hex wrench, remove the plug.
4. After this, the procedure for draining the old fluid will begin. Wait about twenty minutes, during which time the lubricant should leave the system.
5. Then clean the drain plug and replace it.
6. If, after draining the waste oil, it is noticed that the old oil is dark, almost black, and has signs of wear in the form of metal shavings, we recommend flushing the unit. Since some deposits may remain in it, which will mix with fresh lubricant. For flushing, you will need about one liter of new oil and the same amount of kerosene. Pour the mixture into the unit and screw on the oil filler cap. After this, turn on neutral speed and start the power unit of the car. Let the engine idle for about five minutes, then turn it off. Repeat the draining procedure and screw the hole cap back into place. If there are deposits left in the drained fluid, the flushing process can be repeated.
7. Now open the filler plug and add new lubricant to it using a syringe with a tube connected. Fill the gearbox with enough oil so that the level is at the lower edge of the oil filler hole. Then the plug needs to be screwed into place.
8. Start the engine and let it run. You can perform a check ride. After this, diagnose the gearbox under the car for leaks. If there are oil leaks, it is necessary to determine the cause and eliminate it.

1. Find the drain plug and drain the old grease

2. Fill the unit with fresh oil using a syringe, monitoring its level

How to change: main stages of the process

Successful replacement of the transmission fluid in the gearbox occurs after a trip of more than 5 km. This is necessary for the liquid to warm up. Change the transmission oil by immovably fixing the car on an overpass or inspection hole. Operations are performed according to the following instructions:

• use a 17 key to unscrew the filler hole plug;
• Use a 12mm hex to unscrew the drain plug;
• drain the waste liquid (remember safety precautions - the substance may be hot);
• clean plugs and holes from contamination;
• tighten the drain plug;
• using an oil pump or its equivalent, you need to fill in the required volume of new fluid (as a rule, pour until the lubricant begins to pour out of the filler hole);
• tighten the plug that closes the filler hole.

Since the same oil must be poured into the gearbox and rear axle gearbox, it is better to change it in these units at the same time. 3 liters will be enough (1.3 liters fits in the gearbox).

Consequences of untimely replacement

What can result from an untimely oil change in the VAZ 2107 gearbox:

1. The box will be louder. Extraneous noise will appear, uncharacteristic of the gearbox. This may happen when the engine is cold, but as the engine warms up the sounds will disappear. Or the transmission may be noisy regardless of the temperature of the power unit.
2. When changing gears, a crunching sound or other extraneous sounds may occur. Failure to change the oil in a timely manner will result in it losing its properties and being unable to properly lubricate the internal parts of the gearbox. Replacing the substance often solves the problem of crunching.
3. Faulty gearbox bearings. If the lubrication is poor, bearing mechanisms will operate under high load conditions. This will cause the parts to wear out faster and soon fail. Wear products from bearings and other elements can clog the oil channels, which will affect the increase in pressure in the lines of the transmission system. As a result, the lubricant will begin to squeeze out the oil seals and seals. This problem can lead to a transmission fluid leak.
4. The appearance of vibrations during operation of the gearbox. Often the vibrations disappear as the engine warms up, but it is possible that they remain and do not disappear. It is not a fact that the problem is related specifically to the quality of the motor fluid. Perhaps this is a consequence of the use of used oil, which has lost its properties, which led to wear and failure of some structural elements of the unit.
5. One of the most serious consequences is gearbox failure. If the car is constantly used with used oil, this can lead to breakdown of the unit. The gearbox will need to be repaired.

Description of the salon

Having first appeared in 1982, the VAZ 2107 did not differ from its predecessors and competitors in any modern devices or design. However, even those little things that the manufacturer decided to introduce into the new Lada model played into the hands: the car became more convenient and attractive for drivers.

Interior trim

The interior trim was fully consistent with Soviet ideas about fashion. For example, higher quality plastic and wear-resistant fabrics were used. For the first time, the seats acquired an anatomical shape and received comfortable headrests. In general, the VAZ 2107 was the first in the manufacturer’s line to receive the title of a comfortable car for people.

Hard plastics and wear-resistant fabrics are used for interior upholstery.

Dashboard

However, if the interior, at the very least, stood out from similar AvtoVAZ models, the instrument panel was always made in strict accordance with existing standards. We can say that the dashboard is featureless, although it houses the tachometer and additional services of instruments and sensors.

On the panel there are only important devices, without decorations or frills.

This is probably why almost all VAZ 2107 owners try to somehow personalize the instrument panel in their cars. Some hang icons, others - flavors, others - toys... After all, a dull instrument panel affects the mood, so depending on capabilities and taste, drivers often resort to tuning this area of ​​the car.

Gear shift diagram

The gearbox on the VAZ 2107 is needed to transmit torque from the engine to the transmission.

The gear shift pattern on a five-speed gearbox is not much different from a four-speed one: the only difference is that another speed has been added, which is activated by pressing the lever all the way to the left and forward.

The gear shift pattern on a five-speed gearbox is not much different from a four-speed one.

All 7 gearboxes also have reverse gear. The transmission itself is necessarily sewn into the housing with a lever located on it to change gears.
