When to change

According to the application of the manufacturer's plants, the replacement of oil in the PPC Chevrolet Lacetti is completely optional, since lubricants in it, allegedly, is flooded for the entire service life. Here are just Russian realities dictate completely different conditions. First, many motorists converge in the opinion that replacement transmission fluid In the PPC, Lacetti should be made approximately every 60-70 thousand kilometers, and it is also desirable that the lubricant replacement is carried out seasonally, with a knitting on a more liquid and vice versa. Despite the fact that the box at Chevrolet Lacetti is quite reliable, the new oil is much better than the old one and the next replacement does not promise anything bad, only good: smooth gear shift and more long service boxes.

Independent replacement of transmission fluid in PPC Chevrolet Lacetti, which is needed:

1. First you need to buy a transmission fluid. Selection of oil viscosity depends on the time of year, and the manufacturer from financial capabilities. Chevrolet Lacetti is a fairly common car, so in any store where sold automotive oilsYou will be prompted with the choice and some options will be offered. You only need to say a consultant from which metal you have synchronizers in the checkpoint.
2. Gasket pallet box. Please note that the pallets of the PPC Chevrolet Lacetti have two types: 10 and 11 bolts, gaskets, naturally, they are also different. Skece down the car and determine which machine you need.
3. Set of keys and heads.
4. Bucket or pelvis for draining waste fluid from the box.
5. Rag for cleaning the tray pallet.
6. It is also desirable to purchase a sealant.
7. Syringe for pouring oil. Without it, the lubricant replacement in the box will be much less comfortable.

Replacing the oil in the PPC Chevrolet Lacetti with their own hands. Step-by-step instruction:

1. Replacing the lubricant in the box will occur much better if it is warm, so it should be warm up to start a car, passing about 10-15 kilometers on it.
2. We visit the pit or raise your Chevrolet Lacetti on the lift.
3. We descend under the car and put the gearbox under the tray, then unscrew it slightly, but not completely so that the oil is fastened, and everything will not come out at once.

   

4. After all the oil merged, it is necessary to completely unscrew and remove the pallet of the box. Be careful, there are still a little oil.
5. Clean the pallet of the box from dirt and old lubricant.
6. Remove the control bolt (it is with a magnetic tip) and believes a metal chips from it.

   

7. Now install a new gasket (it is desirable to put it on the sealant) and screw the tray tray back.
8. Get out of the pit and look under the hood of your Chevrolet Lacetti.
9. It is necessary to find a breather and remove the plastic lid from it (it takes up)

   

10. Remove the Sapuna nut.

    

11. Now in the resulting hole we begin to slowly pour the oil, using a syringe. It is necessary to pour it slowly to hear the sound of the flowing oil from the control opening and stop.

    

12. When the oil is flooded, it is necessary to spin the breather, put on the plastic cap (do not be used on it with a hammer, you can split).
13. Now I go down again under your chevrolet and tighten the control bolt with a magnetic tip. Tighten the rest of the pallet bolts and make sure that the oil does not flow anywhere.

That's all. Independent replacement The transmission fluid in the PPC Chevrolet Lacetti is over. As you can see anything complicated if the replacement of the lubricant will be made on time, the box will last you for a long time.

Video on the topic

Motor and transmission oils are classified by API, SAE systems. The latter groups are important - viscosity. From how correctly the owner selects the transmission depends the duration of the program of operation of the gearbox. The rule is valid for automatic transmission and manual transmission Chevrolet Lacetti..

Winter type fluid from the summer is possible by the letter "w". It is always indicated near the numbers. For example: 75W, 85W, 90W. Also distinguish the oil for transmissions of automatic and mechanical types of PPC. The presence of symbols AT indicates the use of automatic checkpoint.

ATTENTION! Found a completely simple way to reduce fuel consumption! Do not believe? Auto mechanic with 15 years old also did not believe, until he tried. And now it saves 35,000 rubles per year in gasoline!

In order not to harm the transmission mechanism, always refuel the labeling oil, which is indicated in the instruction manual by the manufacturer. Undoubtedly, pour: Mobil ATF 3309, ATF DEXRON-3 / MERCON, ENEOS ATF 3. There are no relatively tolerance manufacturers about admission. Specify data at sales points, compare marking, viscosity indicators.

Motorists most of the service centers are recommended to fill the following types of oils. For Chevrolet Lacetti 1.6 with the engine F16D3: Toyota JWS 3310, VAG G055130A3, Ford WSSM2C725A. As well as, DEXRON III., ZF Teml. Production quality is checked by motorists, full compatibility with Chevrolet Lacetti, active protection of internal mechanisms of automatic transmission.

Listed modifications of liquid synthetic and semi-synthetic type. The recommended replacement interval of 100 - 120 thousand km. Such data indicates the manufacturer. In practice, the resource is reduced by a third, as a number of negatively influencing factors affect: the quality of fuel, temperature regime, aggressive driving style, the incommodation of the holding. Motorists with experience recommend replacing the hydraulics every 60,000 km. Run. The maximum interval of 80,000 km., But no more.

Oil filter

Together with the replacement of hydraulics you need to change oil filter. Its operating resource coincides with the fluid replacement interval. Disposable product. Exterior metal case, inside paper filler. Passing through paper, the liquid is cleared, the metal chips, the impurities are settled, the clean oil circulates inside the system.

The driver is noticeable !!! There are three types cleaning elementswhich are installed on the Chevrolet Lacetti car: full, partial, combined. The main difference between each in the filtering mechanism.

Best manufacturers:

• SCT: German manufacturer's products have proven itself in the domestic market. The product is resistant to mechanical damage, with a good filtering element inside;
• Union: Japanese manufacturer, famous for the introduction modern technologies. Clean filters are certified according to the requirements of the ISO 9002 world standard;
• Mann: German manufacturer, high quality filters for affordable price For Chevrolet Lacetti.

Checking the level and fill oil in the automatic transmission on Chevrolet Lacetti

The level of hydraulics in the Chevrolet Lacetti car is checked by a dipstick. You can test both on the cold and hot. Motorists recommend on a heated engine, gearbox. We warm up the motor, we translate the selector automatic in all provisions. Remove the probe to which graduation is applied: Cold and Hot. With a sufficient amount of hydraulics - the actual level must match the HOT mark. Otherwise, fill the missing number.

Before replacing the oil, be sure to buy (prepare) a new machine pallet laying, oil filter, pumping hose (2 meters), synthetic transmission oil.

Works are carried out on the viewing channel (lift).

• unscrew the drain bolt (cork), stepping a liquid into a pre-prepared empty plastic container;
• on the perimeter we release 11 crankcase pallet bolts, remove it, inside contains gram 250 oils;
• we look at the surface of the pallet cover, we clean two separating magnets from the layers of metal chips;
• i remove the old filter, install a new, replace the sealing gasket, collect the design again, tighten the bolts;
• disconnect the main pipeline (drain) from the cooling radiator;
• fill the new synthetic hydraulic in the cavity of the automatic transmission exactly in the amount that was fused. This is approximately 2.5 - 2.6 liters. Take another liter. It is so much remained in the automatic transmission highways;
• we lower the hose in the plastic container, run the motor, the selector is translated into a neutral position. We expect the filling of one liter, the wasting engine. Again plunge the liter of the new oil in automatic box gears;
• the prolongation procedure is sharpening as much as it is necessary that clean oil flows out of the hose.

Upon completion, we pass 5 - 7 km. On Chevrolet Lacetti, check the level of hydraulics. The missing number is replenished. In practice, this is not more than 500 - 700 ml., In rare cases, one liter. Partial replacement Oils in Chevrolet Lacetti automatic transmission (1.6) is over.

Selection of oil for manual transmission on Chevrolet Lacetti

On the cars of the Chevrolet Lacetti brand with a gearbox mechanical type poured synthetic or semi synthetic oil. Mineral-based is practiced to a lesser extent. The manufacturer allows mineral refueling only with essential mileage and preparations for overhaul, In all other cases, synthetics. Recommended: API GL-4, SAE 75W90, SAE 80W90.

For independent purchase Oils are always guided by the data in the instruction manual. If the transmission replacement is carried out in a hundred, always specify the brand and the type of oil from the mechanic. If necessary, adjust the steps, provide your oil for fill.

Checking the level and fill oil in the manual transmission on Chevrolet Lacetti

The fluid level within the manual transmission can be checked by analogy with the automatic transmission - the dipstick. Previously, the motor, we install the car on the observation channel, we expect 10 minutes until the oil falls on the bottom of the crankcase pallet. On the right side of the car, in the area of \u200b\u200bthe shrus, we find a control plug - a bolt on "13", unscrew it. We clean from metal chips, wipe. If the level in the manual transmission is proper - oil flows out of the opening. Otherwise, fill the missing number.

Sequence of action when replacing:

• preparatory stage: New pallet laying, oil, oil filter, rag, empty plastic container for draining testing;
• we install the machine on the observation channel, the mohawing motor, we dismantle the protection of the crankcase pallet (4 bolts to "17");
• on the right side of the car we will unscrew the control plug (key to "13");
• we unscrew the 10 transducer bolts of the manual transmission, we substitute the tank for draining testing;
• when the liquid is covered, remove the old gasket, we clean the surface, degrease, put the new one, screw the crankcase pallet cover;
• in the box we fill exactly 1.8 liters of new hydraulic oil, tighten the control plug.

We drive in Chevrolet Lacetti (1.6) 5 - 7 km., We check the level again. The missing number is replenished. The oil change is over.

Replacing oil PPC Lacetti is probably the most contradictory theme. The issue of replacing the oil in the PPC Lacetti has so many differences that it can be called the leader in the number of disputes of the owners of Chevrolet Lacetti.

Consider the four main questions about replacing the oil in the mechanical gearbox.

1. Which oil to fill the PPC lacetti?
2. Replacing oil PPC Lacetti - how to replace the oil in the PPC lacetti?

Should I change the oil in the PPC Lacetti?

This question is the most important. The opinions of the car owners were divided - alone change the oil in the checkpoint, others do not fundamentally. There is no unequivocal answer here and will not and everyone decides what to do with his car. I will only write my opinion, and the choice will remain for you.

At the moment, we have a clear indication of the manufacturer's factory that the oil in the checkpoint is poured for the entire service life of the car, and the replacement, respectively, is not subject to. What, by the way, is evidenced by the lack of a drain plug in the checkpoint. The manufacturer also clearly explained that every 15,000 kilometers need to check the oil level and, if necessary, to top up. It is also said that in the case of repairing gearbox, oil must be replaced. But, in turn, it does not specify that, in their opinion, means "car service life".

According to unofficial data, the service life of the car in the West is approximately seven years (35 thousand km run per year). Then these cars turn out to be with us and we are insanely rejoice that we managed to buy practically new car For a penny))) And it will be a car ride in our country for another twenty-thirty years! And what will happen to this oil one God knows.

In that argument that the technologies for the production of lubricants went far ahead, somehow weakly believe when you take a canister with oil and read there that the expiration date is 5 years! And this is a shelf life, not operation. In this fact, we can conclude that the oil is definitely preferably not waiting for repair.

Moreover, each oil has its own service life. For example, synthetic oil can stop 120-150 thousand km, and mineral is desirable to change after 50-60 thousand km. The semi-synthetic options are located somewhere in the middle.

Therefore, any car owner, respecting his car, must change the oil in the checkpoint regularly.

After replacing it immediately became noticeable that the box is easier, especially in the frost. But this was more important not just from the replacement, but from the fact that I poured the oil with another viscosity index.

What oil to fill in the PPC lacetti?

All transmission oils are classified on two, independent of each other, groups.

By viscosity index - SAE

On operating parameters - API.

SAE viscosity classification

According to this classification, 9 degrees of viscosity of oils are distinguished for mechanical transmissions: Winter - 70W, 75W, 80W, 85W, Summer - 80, 85, 90, 140 and 250. If lubricant Suitable for both seasons, its marking includes a combination of two digits: SAE 75W-85, etc. Large application All-season transmission oils purchased.

Ranges of applying transmission oils
Minimum lubrication temperature of nodes, ° С	SAE class	Maximum temperature ambient, ° S.
-40	75W-80	35
-40	75W-90.	35
-26	80W-85	35
-26	80W-90.	35
-12	85W-90.	45

Ideal for Lacetti, from my point of view, or 75W-90, or 75W-80.

Classifier by API.

Assignment, quality and operational properties of transmission oils describes the API Classifier. The principle of division in this system is based on the constructive use of lubrication and the conditions of its application. Also, the API takes into account the content of anti-promotional and anti-wear additives in the lubricant substance. Transmission products received the designation API GL with the addition of 1 ... 5. Consequently, all lubricants for transmission nodes Classifier divides on 5 groups

I will not describe all five groups. I will only say that for Chevrolet Lacetti needs to be used only API GL-4.You should not take the API GL-5, because there are more sulfur content in it, which is "not like" synchronizers in the checkpoint!

In general, for Lacetta, this option is obtained: SAE 75W-80 (90) API GL-4.Manufacturer choose themselves.

With another replacement, I chose SP Gear 1051 75W-80 synthetic oil to get rid of the shut-off gearbox with a strong frost.

Chose it for several reasons:

• Pretty budget price, as for synthetics in 270 UAH. (about 10 American money) per liter.
• Designed for Opolev gearbox. Oil number GM. 1940750 /1940759
• Capacity has a rather comfortable "nose", which allows you to pour oil at least through the level of the level, although through a breather without the use of syringes, leeks, hoses and other shamanism

Description to Oil reads us the following:

SP Gear 1051 - Premium Synthetic Transmission Oil, specially designed for mechanical gearboxes installed, among others, on Nissan, Opel, Renault and Volvo brands. Special selection of synthetic basic oils And special additives provided the following properties:

• smooth and convenient gear shift both at high and low operating temperatures
• highest oxidation resistance: long term Services and long-term protection against high operating temperatures
• high smooth operation of the gearbox synchronizers: - trouble-burning gear shift and optimal protection against wear in severe operating conditions due to the presence of anti-sex additives
• the highest level of protection against corrosion and foaming

In fact, the replacement of oil PPC Lacetti will not cause difficulties, but the observation ditch is needed, or the overpass.

We visit the overpass and consider the number of bolts that attached the differential cover. They can be either 10, or 11. Depending on the number of bolts it will be clear which gasket to buy! 10 bolts put on the early lateti, and 11 began to put on later.

Gasket numbers:

• GM 96179241 - 10 bolts
• GM 96829393 - 11 bolts

We are going to the car shop and buy a new gasket, two liters of oil. It is also desirable to purchase a sealant. Although he really is not necessary there. This is more for complacency. :-) Let's just say - if you took the original gasket, then the sealant is not needed. And if you took an analogue, you can progress the sealant.

You can also buy a special syringe for pouring oil. If there is no syringe, then you can use a conventional watering can with a suitable diameter hose.

We are moving back to the overpass. We take a wide oil drain container, a head on 13, a flat scolder, a metal brush to clean the dirt from the bolts and climb under the car.

But not all. Two bolts to the end do not unscrew so that the oil does not spit on us with all force.

We mount the tank for the drain of the old oil. Scolding slightly (so that the oil does not harm it) we use the lid

We are waiting for the oil stalking out of the gap and remove the cover, dumping the last two bolts.

We admire the CAT device

But the capacity for spent oil is not in a rush.

Take a jack and raise the left side of the car. So it is still quite quite decent oil.

After that, you can clean the tank

Turn the oil level control plug. It is not quite comfortable

But it is not very difficult to unscrew it. By the way, here is an article about the device

A magnet is in traffic jam. It must be cleaned. Here is a beautiful bouquet

This is what the cleaned magnet looks like.

Clean the differential lid and the location of the gasket on the checkpoint

By the way, this is the most tedious and long-term stage in the procedure for replacing oil in the manual transmission. But stubbornness and work is all rubbed. Here are the doterly to the Daewoman icon

Install a new gasket and screw the lid. The plug is still not twist.

Tightening the bolts of the differential cover should be with an effort of 30 N * m and preferably on a spiral scheme.

I drew a bolt twisting sequence

If you have an imaginary sequence line, then you can see that it resembles a spiral. That is why it is also called - spiral.

We get out from under the car, open the hood and find the "Sapun" on the box. It is in an affordable place and visible well

Unscrew it with a key on 17 mm

It needs to rinse so that everything is type-top

Press the fingers of the "Nose" of the bottles, turn the bottle and insert the "spout" of the bottle into the hole where the breather was spinning and poured fresh oil

Leap until oil is poured from the control hole. It is better to carry this procedure together. One floats, and the second (or second) looks when oil flows from the control opening. But you can and one.

I put an action with a camera under the car and connected to it from a Wi-Fi smartphone. Bulk the oil, and on the screen of the smartphone I watch the test hole.

Very comfortable, I tell you

Now we twist the cap and the sapun into place.

The engine protection immediately did not install. Traveled to the evening, I checked that there is no leakie anywhere and then I installed the place of protection.

Replacing oil PPC Lacetti completed ..

This question arises - How many oil needs to be poured into the PPC lacetti?

The thing is that the manufacturer gives a clear amount of oilfilled oil - 1.8 liters. And in fact, itists only, approximately 1.6 liters! What to do? Some plot these two hundred grams after they spin the plug, motivating it by what it is written or that this oil is needed for the sixth transmission gear. The second does not fool these two hundred grams to not squeeze it through the glands.

I treat the second category and lia the oil only to the level. It seems to me that the manufacturer gives such a volume for the bay in the box after repair or in a new one. That is completely dry inside. And with a simple oil change, it still remains on the walls, on the gears, on synchronizers, etc. Therefore, my opinion is a control level, pour in terms of level!

Here is a video process of replacing oil MCPP of my lateti

That's basically it. If you have any questions, ask in the comments.

Peace to your home and good luck on the roads !!!

The Chevrolet Lacetti manufacturer implies that transmissions are necessary only in the case of the repair of the checkpoint. Even the drain hole is not provided in the pallet. But the experience of motorists suggests that heavy operating conditions, such as riding on uneven roads, traffic jams and low temperatures, quickly wear lubricants. As a result, oil loses its protective properties, the mechanism of the PPC begins to collapse. On the operation, this affects poor switching speeds, knocks and.

therefore timely replacement Lubricants are the necessary event in order to prevent the appearance of malfunctions and extending the operational period. Incorrectly executed procedure leads to damage to the transmission device. Lacetti can be performed both on a hundred and independently in the presence of a small skill.

Replacement frequency

Mechanics are recommended to replace oil in the gearbox every 60 - 70,000 mileage kilometers or in 2 years. Lacetti MCPP oil flakes faster with prolonged ride in winter conditions. It is also necessary to perform this procedure when functional problems with switching transmissions in Chevrolet Lacetti and with a significant decrease in the amount of lubrication.

Checking the level and status of oil

Checking the IPAM level of Chevrolet Lacetti Oil is needed at each, as well as if there are signs of deterioration. Check must be performed on a cold speed box. To do this, put the car to the observation pit, the overpass or lift. Engine protection is removed. The control opening is located between the rear support power aggregate and wheel drive on the right side. The front key on 13 is unscrewed the plug, and the level of fluid is estimated in the transmission. Sufficient is considered a level of level no more than four millimeters from the edge of the opening. With lack of oil, you need to deal with the cause of leakage and add the required volume.

What oils better choose

The decision to change the old liquid can immediately cause the problem of choosing a new one. The fact is that the manufacturer does not indicate which original oil poured B. mechanical box Switching speeds. What oil pouring? Opinions of dealers about this occasion. Most experts recommend pouring aPI standard GL-4. In the absence of this type, fill the analogues: GM 75W90, Castrol Syntrans 75W90. In the mechanics, then only the synthetics for good operation of the transmission. Transmission oil in this case is enough for a longer period of operation.

How much oil to upload

To properly perform the procedure, you should know how much oil is required. According to the instructions, 1.8 liters should be placed there. lubricant. But you can completely change the lubricant only when repairing the gearbox. When the liquid is performed manually, then about 300 grams remain in the structure of the design, where the gears are located. Therefore, when removing only the bottom cover, an oil volume is required about 1.5 liters.

Required tools

For the procedure, the standard set of automotive keys and sealant will be needed. Also, a syringe for filling the oil or a fixture in the form of a funnel with a hose, a key to 13, empty packaging will be needed. Works need to be carried out in protective gloves.

Partial topping

When a small shortage of lubricating fluid should be raised. To do this, open the hood, find the Sapun, unscrew it. The topping is performed through its hole with the help of a filling syringe. Then you need to return the Sapun to the place.

Full oil replacement

Before merging the waste fluid in the PPC Chevrolet Lacetti, the car should warm up to operating temperature. Changing the oil in the box with their own hands is performed on the overpack, the observation pit or on the lift. The procedure is different from other brands in that there is no lacetti drainer. Replacing the oil in the MCPP Chevrolet Lacetti consists of the following steps:

After a few days, check possible leaks. Next, check the fluid level every fifteen thousand kilometers.

\u003e Checking level and topping the oil in a manual box transmissions Chevrolet. Lacetti.

Chevrolet Lacetti Level Check and Pulling Oil in Mechanical Transmission

Check the oil level in the gearbox is required every 15 thousand km of run or after the operation of the car, as well as when the oils are detected on the box crankcase. Oil change is not provided for by the Regulations maintenance During the entire life of the gearbox.
The oil level is tested on a cooled gearbox by installing a car on a flat horizontal surface.

Head "On 13" turn the cork of the test hole in the gearbox crankcase ...

... and take a plug out of the hole.
With the normal amount of oil in the gearbox, its level must reach the lower edge of the test hole - check the finger. If the oil level is significantly lower than the required, then it is necessary to add oil into the gearbox. You can add the oil from below the car - through the control hole using a special syringe for transmission oil or from above - through the hole in the gearbox crankcase for a sapuncture with a funnel.
For topping oil from above, in the engine compartment ...

... The key "on 17" weakening the tightening of the Sapuna ...

and turn away the Sapun.

We insert into the hole of the crankcase box of the transmission of the funnel ...

... and pour the transmission oil until it starts to pour out through the control hole.
Watch the cork of the test hole.
Before installing the Sapuna, check the condition of its holes. To do this, remove the cap with a breather.

If the holes are scored with mud, clean them.
Watch the Sapun and close it with a cap.
