How to change the oil in the transfer case of a cornfield. Changing the oil in the dispenser is a simple but important procedure. The procedure for self-changing oil in the Niva distributor

Niva 21214 car is different increased cross-country ability on the roads. The car has an engine that has a volume of 1.7 liters, corresponding to Euro-4 standards. The transmission system includes a transfer case with crankcase ventilation. All component parts on the VAZ 21214, just like on the VAZ 21213, have a long working life. At the same time, it is important to take proper care of car system, select high-quality oil for Niva.

SUV Niva (VAZ 2121), having four-wheel drive, equipped with a manual transmission is capable of delivering 75 horsepower.

The choice of oil for the gearbox

Transmission fluid Lukoil GL4 75W-80

Which oil to choose? Transmission oils are presented in a wide range. Pay attention to fuels with the following viscosity: 75W-90, 85W-90. In particular, one can choose transmission oil Lukoil 80W90 (class GL5). When operating vehicles in winter period 70W-90 oil should be purchased as it has a low viscosity. Semi-synthetic options are also suitable for refueling Niva 21213. Replacement is best done in a specialized service center.

How much oil to fill? It is necessary to add about 0.8 liters to the Niva distributor of oil. Its high-speed box is filled with 1.6 liters of transmission fluid.

Before making the choice of transmission fluid, you should always carefully study its composition.

The need to change transmission oil

To change the oil on the Niva, the car must be warmed up (to ensure good fluidity). The machine is placed on an inspection pit; a special container should be placed under the drain hole, where the spent liquid will drain. To open the drain and filler plug, it is worth using a hexagon. Also, from additional tools, you will need a special syringe, which is used to refuel the dispenser.

Changing the oil in the transfer case (Niva 21214/21213). Main steps:

1. The drain plug is unscrewed.
2. The rest of the oil is poured into the substituted container.
3. Any contamination on the cork must be removed.
4. The drain plug is screwed on.
5. The upper plug is unscrewed to fill in new oil with a syringe.
6. The plug is twisted.

The peculiarity of the checkpoint is that a magnet is built in here. Its function is to carry out the attraction of small metal debris that may be present in the fuel.

When replacing fuel, flushing the crankcase is required. This procedure helps to extend the operational life of the box. Flushing is mandatory if drained oil is heavily contaminated.

The frequency of replacing fuel for the transmission is affected by the mileage of the Niva 21214 (21213), in what conditions it is used. When making frequent off-road trips, the need to change the oil for the transfer case, the gearbox may arise even up to 50,000 km.

The need to add a new lubricant to the box can be indicated by the fact that the gearbox began to overheat, characteristic noises appeared during movement from its side.

The all-wheel drive monster of the Chevrolet Niva works flawlessly, you just need to follow the instructions, carry out maintenance of the handouts on time, monitor the volume of oil in it, and also change all technological fluids.

The pride of the domestic auto industry is Niva Chevrolet... The manufacturer has released a truly luxurious car, which is not inferior in its characteristics to its expensive counterparts. Off-road, nature trips, fishing, hunting - better cars can not found.

How do I change the oil?

How to independently replace process fluids in Chevrolet Niva? To do this, you need to purchase high-quality oil, which is recommended by the manufacturer. All required volumes are indicated in the instructions for the car. For beginners, the replacement process may seem daunting, but in reality it is not.

The choice of oil for an all-wheel drive vehicle is very important point, the service life, wear of parts and the operation of all transfer mechanisms depend on this. You need to buy liquids that the manufacturer recommends or verified, famous brands... There are different types of oil for different seasons, they differ in viscosity and are adapted to work at a certain temperature.

If the car was purchased used, it is better to immediately check the level of all fluids and replace them.

What kind of oil to use in the transmission?

Different types of oils cannot be mixed. In terms of viscosity, it is better to choose a liquid with the following markings: 75W - 90; 80W - 85; 80W - 90. Manufacturers who have proven themselves well and produce brands that are suitable for an SUV are: Gazproneft, Lukoil, Shell, Castrol, TNK, Exxon Mobil. Gear oil must be of high quality, it depends on good work of all mechanisms in the Chevrolet Niva.

To replace, you will need: a 12 hexagon, a 17 wrench, a rag and a container for waste material. Next, you need to unscrew the filler plug, and then the drain.

When the liquid has come out, clean the holes with a cloth and pour the cleaning liquid up to the top.

How much oil do you need for a dispenser?

If the car is new, the oil should be changed after 50 - 70 thousand km. If the mileage is over 120 thousand km, the replacement in the distributor must be carried out at least every 45 thousand km.

In order for the machine to last longer, it is better to do it a little more often, a lot of dirt collects in the waste oil, which creates friction and, accordingly, the parts wear out faster.

It is optimal to change the oil after a trip, when the dispenser is warmed up and the fluid becomes more fluid. Need to prepare necessary tool: hexagon for 12, wrench for 17, container for working off and a rag.

Place the machine on the inspection hole and unscrew the drain plug, substitute the container and wait until all the waste liquid comes out. Unscrew the filler plug and check all valves for contamination. Clean plugs and holes, Special attention pay to the magnet, inspect how much contamination, perhaps replacement should be carried out more often if there is a lot of metal shavings. After that, pour new oil into the distributor in the amount of 0.8 liters.

The transfer case in the Niva is very important mechanism for an SUV, how the car will cope on difficult sections of the road depends on its work.

Axle oil change

In order for the Chevrolet Niva to work flawlessly and for a long time, it is necessary to monitor all process fluids and replace them in a timely manner.

The required volume in the rear axle is 1.3 liters. To change the oil in the front axle, 1.15 liters are required. Better to change at the same time.

Under normal operating conditions of the car, replacement will be required every 40 thousand km. If the car often works off-road and carries heavy loads, the procedure should be carried out more often.

The front and rear axles in the Niva are very important elements the whole mechanism. Fluids need to be selected in accordance with the season, on synthetics in the cold season, the car simply will not start. Better to choose mineral or semi-synthetic materials.

Two bridges will require 3 liters of fluid. Car preparation is the same as when changing transmission oil.

Before starting work, you need to warm up the machine and make the liquid more fluid, prepare the tool: a 12 hexagon, a container, a filling syringe, a 17 wrench, a rag.

Then everything is according to the instructions: unscrew the plugs, drain the waste material, pay special attention to the magnet in the drain. A large amount of dirt and shavings is a sign that the procedure should be carried out more often. Thoroughly clean all openings of the axle oil reservoir, this can be done with a normal rag. Fill in liquids and let the car run, if the oil is gone, you can add the required amount.

The procedure is simple and even a beginner can handle it, but if you have concerns or just don't want to get dirty, you can contact the nearest car service. This must be done regularly and do not forget, each fluid change must be recorded and the mileage at the current moment must be noted. If you follow the manufacturer's recommendations exactly, there will be no problems with the SUV.

For any vehicle, the importance of timely replacement of lubricants cannot be overstated. Oils used in components and assemblies exposed to friction at high speeds significantly reduce their overheating and wear, thus extending their service life. Among such nodes, one cannot fail to note the transfer case, which is equipped with four-wheel drive vehicles... Both old Niva cars and models under the Chevrolet brand, produced since 2002, do not need an introduction - these are some of the most massive all-wheel drive Vehicle in our country, which have earned the love of motorists for their unpretentiousness, ease of maintenance and low cost. It is especially pleasing that the vast majority of maintenance operations for a domestic SUV can be performed independently, without resorting to the help of specialists and a car service. In particular, this also applies to changing the oil in the Niva distributor - a procedure that does not require special professional skills or special tools.

Checking the oil in the Niva distributor should be performed every 10 thousand km.

Replacement frequency

According to the recommendations given in the service book, for the first time, the oil in the transfer case of the Niva car should be changed during the fourth MOT, that is, after hitting 45 thousand kilometers. Then the procedure should be repeated with the same frequency. It should be especially noted that on the new Niva, the transmission oil is changed after running in (2000 km). It is recommended to check the lubricant level in the transfer case every 10 thousand kilometers. However, experts advise focusing not so much on the recommended indicators, but on the condition of this important unit, as well as on factors associated with the operating conditions of the car.

It's one thing when the car drives mainly on good roads(urban, on country roads), and quite another - when its owner lives in the countryside or is an avid hunter, fisherman or just a big fan of outdoor activities. In such cases, the level and quality of the oil in the dispenser should be checked more often, and if signs of contamination of the fluid appear, it should be replaced without waiting for the scheduled time. So you decide when to change the oil in the Niva distributor, taking into account all the above factors.

Checking the oil level

The procedure for checking the oil level in the Niva dispenser is quite simple, in any case, it does not require any special skills. The only difficult moment is that it is necessary to provide access to the bottom of the car, for which it will be necessary to drive it onto a pit, overpass or securely install it on pads. The second point is that the check should be carried out on a cold car, so if you have driven somewhere before, wait until the car cools down.

The procedure itself is simple - just unscrew the filler plug with a 12 hexagon, after thoroughly cleaning it seat from dirt, and with a suitable object (a wooden stick or a piece of wire) measure how much lower the liquid level is at the bottom edge of the hole. If this distance exceeds 10 mm, top up should be carried out using a special syringe. You need to top up until the grease begins to flow out of the hole, then wipe the box dry and tighten the plug.

Choosing the right oil

The choice of lubricant for the transfer case and Niva axles should be taken responsibly, because the reliable functioning of these transmission elements ensures that you will never find yourself in a situation requiring outside help. The recommended ones have characteristics that ensure the optimal operation of the vehicle unit for which they are intended. If you know exactly what kind of oil is poured into the dispenser, the choice is simplified: it is enough to purchase a lubricant with the same viscosity. If this information is not available, it does not matter either: you just need to merge all the old transmission fluid, that is, do not limit yourself to topping up, if, say, the level is too low, and the lubricant itself is not yet very contaminated.

It should be noted that if you do not know which oil to pour into the Niva distributor, which one into the box, which one into the bridges, then the manufacturer claims that you can use the same transmission fluid in all these units. If we talk about, then oils 78W90, 80W85, 80W90 are acceptable, the main condition is. The manufacturer is not so important if it is a well-known foreign or domestic brand.

The automaker pours mineral water into the dispenser, but when replacing the fluid, it is more preferable lubricant there will be semisynthetics with the best performance characteristics more suitable for the climate of our country.

How much to pour

According to the data given in the operating manual, the volume of oil poured into the distributor of the Niva-2121 and more modern modifications (21213, 21214, 21310) is 0.75 liters. Some reference books give a figure of 0.79 liters, which is not important - you still need to purchase liquid packaged in a container with a volume of 1 liter.

If, as a result of the next level check or in the dispenser, it turned out that it was time to replace it (symptoms indicating the need to perform such a procedure may be not only a very dark color of the oil with the inclusion of solid particles, but also the appearance of noise when the dispenser is turned on or during it work), you can perform such a replacement on your own.

To do this, you need a 19 and 12 hex wrench, a liter container for used grease and some rags. It will also be necessary to provide access to the car from the bottom side, for which you can use both a lift and an overpass or a viewing hole.

Immediately before replacing the car, you should warm up the car (drive it for about 10 kilometers). Procedure when performing Niva:

Note that draining and filling fresh oil- the procedure is technically exactly the same for all modifications of the Niva.

Oil change in Renault Duster razdatka

Axle oil change

What and how much oil to fill in the bridge and the Duster 4x4 razdatka

According to the manufacturer, the oil in the transfer case and axle cannot be changed and is filled for the entire service life of the vehicle.

But underfilling the oil in the distributor and the axle is a fairly common occurrence on Renault Duster.
V this case it lacked only 2 cm to the level, it is not scary, but to calm down I had to change it.

Since it is not clear what kind of oil was filled, I had to play it safe and buy a new gear oil Total Syn Fe 75W-90, Renault recommended oil, solidifies at temperatures below 50 degrees.

To change the oil in the razdatka and the Renault Duster bridge, there will be enough 1 liter.
In this report, it took 1 liter and 50-100 grams, this is when filling to the maximum, to the level drain holes and taking into account the complete draining and flushing of the rear gearbox and hand-outs.

• We start with the rear gearbox
• You don't have to lift the car, if you lie on the ground, then there is enough space.
• Unscrew the drain plug (bottom) with a hexagon
• Drain the oil, the oil will be black enough, this is normal.
• We twist the plug back, do not forget about the gasket

The oil will not drain, so you can use the vacuum hose to drain the oil completely.

The hose is just vacuum, because the walls are not compressed. We insert one end of the hose into the filler hole of the gearbox, resting the hose against the bottom, the other end of the hose to vacuum pump(or we create a vacuum with our lungs), the hose is taken long so that the oil does not get into the pump or swallow it.

You can also flush the gearbox and drain completely flushing fluid in this manner. The oil drains out of the distributor well, you do not need to rinse it.

Pour oil into rear gear conveniently with the help of such a device

We push the hose and pour new oil into the filler hole (top), the oil must be poured to the very edge of the hole.

We twist the upper plug on the gearbox and wipe the traces of oil with a rag after replacing

Moving on to the transfer case

We remove the right front wheel(passenger side), you can simply turn it out if it is convenient.

The transfer box is located on the passenger side, right behind the wheel. See the photo below.

We find the filler hole, it is also the control one.

Transfer case oil level is normal.

To access the drain plug, you will have to partially remove the protection by unscrewing the six mounting bolts so that the protection hangs only on the front ones. The drain plug of the transfer case is indicated by an arrow.

The oil drains out of the distributor well, you do not need to rinse it.

We drain the oil, tighten the drain plug. Putting the protection together in the reverse order.

Oil was poured everywhere exactly along the edge of the filler hole (it even poured out a little).

The control and filler hole of the box is located in the same way as the dispensing hole, but on the left side.

In the box, the oil did not change, only the level was checked - almost flush with the edge.
