Transmissions of French-made cars must operate under conditions of regular lubrication of internal components and components. The lack of lubricating fluid in the gearbox will lead to failure of the unit. It is important to know which oil to fill in the Renault Logan box and follow the instructions for self-changing the fluid.

Oil change interval
To begin with, consider how often it is necessary to change the lubricant in Logan transmissions. In the official regulations, the manufacturer Renault Logan does not indicate the timing of the replacement of the lubricant in cars of 2006, 2014 and other years of production. The lubricant is poured into the transmission for the entire life of the vehicle. But under harsh operating conditions and regular use of the car on uneven roads typical of our country, experts recommend changing the oil in Renault Logan every 60-100 thousand kilometers.
When you still need to change the lubricant:
- if the liquid has lost its properties and cannot lubricate the parts with high quality;
- when vibrations appear in the transmission;
- when knocking out the gear lever;
- if the smell of burning comes from the box.
Which oil is better to choose?
From the factory, oil is poured into the gearbox, which is subsequently recommended for further use. For example, if it becomes necessary to add a substance to the unit.
As part of maintenance, the manufacturer recommends pouring Elf TRANSELF NFJ 75W-80 grease into a Renault Logan manual transmission with a 16-valve engine.
This oil for mechanics has the following properties:
- increased fluidity at low negative temperatures, which allows for simplified gear shifting in winter;
- stable viscosity parameters, eliminating the possibility of noise when changing gearshift lever modes;
- the product uses a formula to avoid arbitrary disengagement of gears;
- the oil manufacturer guarantees consumers reliable protection of the mechanical component of the unit from rapid wear;
- excellent thermal stability of the product to temperature changes;
- the presence of a complex of additives in the composition of the liquid, which makes it possible to provide extreme pressure protection of the teeth of the gears during the operation of the unit under conditions of high loads;
- resistance of the lubricant to oxidation;
- protection of the internal parts of the gearbox from corrosion.
In automatic transmissions, the car manufacturer recommends using Elf Renaultmatic D3 SYN fluid.
The GARAGE NN channel in its video suggests that you familiarize yourself with the procedure for changing the lubricant.
Analogues
In practice, Logan owners have identified several effective analogues to ensure the high-quality operation of the checkpoint:
- Castrol Syntrans Transaxle 75W-90. Synthetic type fluid is considered one of the best analogues. As a result of filling with lubricant, the gear lever will turn on easier and smoother. If a crunch appears when the reverse gear is activated, then using this oil will save the car from the problem.
- MOTUL Gear 300 75W-90. No less high-quality analogue. Eliminates the box from third-party sounds.
Level control and required volume
If necessary, change the oil in the Renault Logan gearbox or add it, the car owner needs to know how many liters are included in the transmission. The volume of fluid in a manual transmission is about 3.5 liters. The amount of lubricant in automatic transmissions is 4 liters.
To check the oil level, do the following:
- Warm up the machine and put it on a flat horizontal surface.
- There is no probe for checking the volume in Renault Logan. Diagnostics is carried out through the control hole, which is located in front of the transmission housing. There is a plastic cover in the hole, it must be wiped with a rag and unscrewed.
- You have to look through the hole. If you cannot see the oil level, then you should determine it by touch by placing your finger in the hole. The amount of grease should be around the bottom edge.
You can learn about checking the volume from the video published by the user Roni.
DIY oil change
You can replace the lubricant in Renault or Dacia Logan at a service station or on your own. Let's figure out how to change the product with your own hands.
Tools and materials
To change the lubricant, prepare:
- an old bucket or basin, this container will be used to collect waste fluid;
- new oil;
- wrenches for 8 and 10;
- transparent hose with a watering can.
Stages of work
The procedure for draining and filling grease is as follows:
- The car warms up and is driven into a garage with a pit.
- You need to get under the bottom of the car and unscrew the bolts that secure the engine protection. This will make it easier to change the oil.
- It is necessary to find a drain plug and place a container under it to collect "working out".
- Then you should unscrew the bolt and wait until all the oil has come out of the gearbox. Then assess the condition of the drain plug and its seal, which must be replaced, as it wears out quickly.
- You need to find a hole for level control. Then insert one end of the prepared hose into it, and connect the watering can to the other. You can start the liquid filling procedure. It is carried out until the oil begins to come out of the control hole. The amount of lubricant to be filled in depends on the type of transmission.
- With a rag, it is necessary to remove the remnants of the substance from the gearbox housing. Screw on the filler cap.
- It is necessary to reinstall the protection of the power unit and clean the transmission breather.

Possible malfunctions after replacement
One of the problems that can happen after a fluid change is oil leaking out of the box. Repair of the problem is carried out after diagnosing the transmission housing and determining the location of the leak. Usually, grease leaves the box through the drain hole when there is a worn gasket on it. In this case, it is necessary to replace the seal with a new one.

What happens if you don't change?
If the oil has worked out its service life, it will not be able to perform the functions assigned to it. This means that the substance is not able to qualitatively lubricate the rubbing components of the unit. This leads to rapid wear of parts.
The bearings are the first to fail, the failure of which can be reported by symptoms such as noise and rumble in the operation of the gearbox. Sometimes sounds appear when you turn on a certain gear. Spontaneous shutdown of speeds is also possible. If you do not take urgent measures to change the oil, then the gearbox as a whole will fail.
The repair and maintenance manual for Renault Logan, Sandero, Largus, Logan 2, Sandero 2 indicates that the oil in the manual transmission is filled for the entire life of the gearbox and does not require replacement. But during the operation of the machine, the internal anther of the left drive often fails. The anther in the cold hardens, breaks and water gets into the oil, which requires an oil change.
What kind of oil should be poured
On the conveyor in the manual transmission, the manufacturer fills in Elf Tranself NFJ 75W-80, which Renault recommends for gearboxes of the JXX, TL4 and NDX series.
On Renault Logan, Sandero, Logan 2, Lada Largus with 1.4 liter engines, the jH1 manual transmission was installed, while cars with 1.6 and 1.2 liter engines were equipped with jH3. Structurally, the units differ in the size of the clutch housing, so this does not affect the choice of gear oil. Less common on cars is the JR5 manual transmission.
For topping up, use only Elf Tranself NFJ 75W-80, since mixing oils is not prohibited. With a complete replacement, it is not necessary to buy original products. You can choose among worthy analogues:
- Liqui Moly Getriebeoil 75W-80 (GL-5);
- Castrol Syntrans Transaxle 75W-90 (GL-4+);
- Motul Motylgear SAE 75W-80 (GL-5);
- Castrol Syntrans V FE 75W-80 (GL-4+);
- Shell Getriebeoil EP 75w90 (GL-4);
- Valvoline Maxlife MTF SAE 75W-80 (GL-4).
Refueling volume of gearboxes jH1 and jH3 - 2.8 l, JR5 - 2.5 l. Before buying, we recommend that you clarify this information in the repair and operation manual for your car model.
Criterias of choice
When choosing a transmission fluid, pay attention to the specification and viscosity. The generally accepted classification is the API, which through testing determines the effectiveness of extreme pressure and anti-corrosion additives. Elf Tranself NFJ 75W-80 complies with the GL-4+ class, which is recommended for use in synchronized manual transmissions of passenger cars. However, it is acceptable to use GL-4 and the highest grade - GL-5, which is designed for loaded hypoid gears.
The SAE marking indicates low temperature (W-number) and high temperature performance. 75W formulations are recommended for regions where temperatures do not fall below -40°C. If the car is operated at temperatures not lower than -26 ° C, oils with an index of 80W are poured into the manual gearbox. With regard to high temperature performance, in temperate regions, a viscosity grade of 85-90 can be used.
On Renault Logan, Sandero, Logan 2, Sandero 2, Lada Largus, you can safely use oils with SAE indices: 75W-80, 75W-90, 75W-85 and an API specification of at least GL-4.
Oil change interval
Unlike automatic transmissions, in which ATF plays the role of a working fluid, in a manual transmission, oil serves to remove heat and reduce wear on rubbing pairs. But even in this mode of operation, irreversible chemical and physical processes occur, the oil is filled with a suspension of wear products of rubbing metal surfaces. Such negative factors reduce the life of synchronizers and gears. Therefore, it is still necessary to change the oil in manual transmissions, despite the Renault service recommendations.
We recommend making the first change at 60,000 km. In the first tens of thousands of kilometers of a car's run, parts are lapped inside the gearbox. After a period of running-in, the amount of wear products in the oil decreases, so the interval between subsequent replacements can be increased to 80-100 thousand km.

Oil change instructions
1. Park the machine on a level surface.
2. Unscrew the crankcase protection of the engine and transmission. In some variations, the protection has a technological hole for unscrewing the drain plug.
3. Clean the gearbox housing from dirt, dust at the drain and near the filler hole. If the drained oil is to be reused, the surface near the drain plug must be clean.
4. Unscrew the drain plug with an 8 square. After loosening with a wrench / ratchet, we recommend that you unscrew the plug manually in order to quickly remove it from under the stream of merging mining. An increase in backlash indicates the end of the thread.
If the color of the drained oil is cloudy, with an emulsion, then there are water impurities in the oil.
5. Unscrew the filler plug, which is located on the end of the right side of the box, with pliers. It is not necessary to change the gasket on this plug.
6. Replace the drain plug. It is advisable to replace the gasket.
7. To fill in new oil, use a home-made funnel with a piece of hose or a special syringe for filling technical fluids. First, pass the hose from the top of the engine compartment, then direct it from the bottom into the filler hole.
Pour oil into the box until it flows out of the filler hole. The same method is used for in-line level checking. As soon as the oil has stopped flowing out of the filler hole (which is why the car is parked on a flat surface), tighten the plug by hand, wipe off oily marks and install the engine protection.
Something else useful for you:
- Before starting work, travel at least 10-15 km so that the oil inside the gearbox warms up and becomes less viscous.
- If the sealing gasket of the filler plug is not torn, elastic, it can be reinstalled.
- Pay attention to the processing status. The presence of an emulsion indicates the mixing of oil with water. Often such a nuisance is a consequence of a leak in the anther of the inner CV joint of the left drive shaft. Therefore, inspect the anther for tears, weakening of the clamps. Pay attention to the gearbox breather, through which, in case of improper installation, water and dirt enter the manual transmission. Often, after unskilled repairs, craftsmen neglect the correct installation of the breather.
4.For preventive purposes, flush and blow out the breather with compressed air. When pressure builds up inside the transmission, a completely clogged "breathing" valve can squeeze out. If the malfunction is not noticed in time, dust, dirt and moisture will render the new gear oil unusable.

Step by step replacement
1. Install the car on the pit.
2. For convenience, dismantle the manual transmission protection.
3. With a brush, clean the manual transmission oil drain bolt from dirt.
4. We release the drain bolt.
5. We take the dishes for used oil in the left hand, and with the right we unscrew the drain bolt.
6. To drain the oil completely, unscrew the filler plug. We twist it by hand, if it doesn’t go, you can help yourself with pliers.
The fill plug also serves to control the oil level. The level should be up to the filler plug with the machine standing on a level surface.
7. We twist and tighten the drain bolt. It is advisable to replace the copper gasket.
8. You can fill in oil in different ways. The most convenient is a funnel with a hose.
Open the hood, insert the hose into the box and calmly pour oil from the engine compartment into the box.
Pour oil under the filler plug, that is, until it flows a little from the filler plug. Usually it is three liters if the car is on a flat surface.
9. We twist the filler plug and tighten by hand.
10. We install protection and the work is completed.
I recommend to see if the breather box is in place. The photo below shows where it should be. The breather hose should also be included in the box. Also remove the barrel from the breather hose. If there is dirt in it, it must be washed. Otherwise, debris will fall into the box.
If the keg is clogged with dirt, the hose can squeeze out of the seat in the box. When driving, dirt will get into this hole. This is not very good for manual transmission.
Video lesson
Hi all! The topic of today's article is the oil in the Renault Logan gearbox. As you may have guessed from the title, the article will have a video instruction on changing the oil, a recommendation for choosing the oil and filling volumes.
The manufacturer believes that the oil will retain its properties throughout the entire life of the car.
But we live in Russia, where there are no roads, a lot of dust and dirt and a temperature drop of 80 degrees, and all these conditions adversely affect the health of cars. Accordingly, with a rush of grenade anthers and wear of oil seals, dirt, dust and water inevitably get into the gearbox! Naturally, in Russian realities, it is better to change the oil in the box, and the owners have established empirically that this should be done after 60-100 thousand km. mileage or when repairing the box and related items.
What kind of oil is poured into a Renault Logan box at the factory?
ELF Tranself NFJ 75W80 in a box of logan 1.4 and 1.6 its 3 liters and it looks like this:
What kind of oil is permissible to fill in a Logan box when operating in the Russian Federation?
Friends, let's agree that the recommendation of Renault ELF oil is nothing more than a marketing ploy .... The viscosity of the oil is indicated by SAE, and there is nothing to worry about if you fill in a quality GL4 synthetic oil with a viscosity of 75w-80 from any other manufacturer. The main thing is that the oil is of high quality.
Regarding the problem of choosing between mineral, semi-synthetic and synthetic, synthetic oil should definitely be chosen, since it is more stable over the entire temperature range and has a longer service life. Although the author of this article has seen a logan with a mileage of 280,000 km from a taxi, the owner, who poured Lukoil mineral water into a box, does not recommend doing this.

How to change the oil in a manual Renault Logan with a 1.6 engine
It makes no sense to write a separate instruction for changing the oil in a box for a Logan with a 1.6 engine, since the boxes differ structurally only in the size of the clutch housing, while the boxes themselves are the same and the filling volume of oil and its type are also the same. Therefore, you can do everything according to the instructions given above.
That's all I have today. Strong logans to you, good luck on the roads and good health.

Renault Logan oil change in the gearbox should be carried out in accordance with the regulations, that is, every 10 - 15 thousand kilometers, as well as when repairing the gearbox. Renault Logan, changing the oil in the gearbox - that's what this article will be devoted to. Let us consider in detail both the principle of changing the oil in the gearbox, and the safety requirements, as well as the amount of oil in the Logan box (manual transmission).
On Renault Logan, the oil change in the gearbox is carried out together with the oil seal. It is very difficult to pick up oil at a checkpoint from Renault, because its replacement is not provided by the manufacturer. But still, those car books indicate the oil that is needed for the box and this is ELF TRANSELF NFP 75w-80, below we will consider the advantages, features of this oil and how much it needs to be filled.
We change the oil in the gearbox for Renault Logan (Renault Logan)
An oil change in the Logan gearbox is needed, regardless of breakdowns or high mileage. If you have a new car, you need to change the oil after six months of using the car (or after 15,000 kilometers). Usually, at the factory, a little oil is not added to the box (according to standards), and while the box is being run in, its parts inside (gears) are lapped. During this initial period of use, a lot of metal chips get into the oil. Therefore, it is better to change it yourself, contrary to the service center, which will deny the obligation of this procedure. Moreover, the price of the issue is half an hour and 17 dollars! But for 5 years you can ride and not worry about the creaking or jamming of the gear lever.
All the subtleties of changing the oil on the gearbox for Renault (Renault)
First, the correct change of fluid in the gearbox will be the acquisition of the desired mixture. Please note that the gearshift mixture and engine oil are different products. And those motorists who calmly pour engine lubricant into the gearbox are at great risk.
Before pouring new oil into a Renault Logan box, you need to drive a little, thereby warming up the lubricating fluid and mixing it (with dirt and impurities). This is done - for the subsequent easy draining of the oil and maximum cleaning of the box cavity. The most practical place to change the oil in the gearbox will be a pit for car repair and inspection.
Advantages and features of ELF Tranself NFJ 75W80 oil:
- The formula used in the creation process eliminates the problem of jumping speeds;
- It has the highest thermal stability;
- Even in the most severe frosts, it retains a liquid structure for easy gear shifting;
- EP additives for parts in gearboxes, retain resistance to stress;
- Protection against corrosion and oxidation;
- Good viscosity stability and resistance to water.
For a safe replacement procedure, it is worth considering these examples of precautions:
- Protective gloves and a gas extraction device must be used;
- Also be sure to use protective goggles;
- Use only the correct tool;
- Use a headgear if possible.
The list of tools used to change the oil is small:
- Four-sided 8 mm key.
- Pliers.
- Portable lighting.
- Metal brush.
- Socket 10 mm key.
- Funnel with hose (0.5 m) or blower.
- Container for draining used oil.
The procedure for changing the oil in the Renault Logan gearbox
Self-changing the oil in the gearbox is carried out in the following order:
If it is necessary to add oil to the Renault Logan gearbox, save the container left after pouring in the liquid (you can buy 1 liter for this case). You can also just rewrite the name, no matter what you forget. And working off can also be used to heat a garage, a car box (if you have such a stove). If not, and no one needs it, you need to dispose of the waste liquid. This is done by the city organization for the disposal of hazardous household waste. Moreover, almost every garage cooperative has a collection capacity for such waste.
