The Compact Hatchback Chevrolet Lacetti from the South Korean manufacturer GM Daewoo was first shown to the public at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 2003, after almost a year and a half after his presentation in the body of the sedan at the exhibition in Seoul. Lacetti replaced the lineup Nibe and until 2014 was produced at the factories in Uzbekistan and the Russian Federation. Despite the fact that Gentra became ideological follower, domestic market Uzbekistan still knows her as Lacetti. The famous Italian Atelier took part in the development of the appearance, which initially guaranteed a car success among fans of sophisticated design. In 2008, the model began to be issued in the second generation and from that moment was the name of Chevrolet Cruz.

Gamma engines represented petrol aggregates volume 1.4, 1.6 and 1.8 liters, which work with both mechanics and a box-machine. Power power plants It vary from 94 to 121 hp, but even in the configuration with the weaker of them, the driver can enjoy a greasy travel in both the city and on the highway. At the same time, fuel consumption depending on the driving style ranges from 7.1-8.1 liters per 100 km. Oil consumption does not exceed 600 ml per 1000 km, but this indicator will continue to be considered separately for each of the motors. The modifications of Lacetti with all three types of engines were officially supplied to Russia.

Being a golf class car Chevrolet Lacetti. I had a pretty good configuration. Rich basic equipment, dynamics, high-quality interior design and comfortable salon have become a kind of business card for buyers. The model quickly won folk love, which largely contributed a rather democratic price level. But without a spoon, the tar also did not cost - most of all the owners have a very thin metal, an unstable coating and a rigid suspension.

From the factory in the engine the lackers poured synthetic oil GM Dexos 2 viscosity 5W-30.

The required oil volume into the engine 1.4 and 1.6 - 3.75 liters. For 1.8 liter engine - 4.5 liters of oil.

Reviews of owners about this oil

According to numerous reviews on the forums, there is no unambiguous opinion on this oil. Someone writes that it is better to use the oil, just not GM Dexos 2., others opposite insist that they have everything in order with the engine when using this motor oil. Therefore, if you use this type of oil, then you need to look in what condition is now oil. Open the oil wave neck, see if there is an oil sediment on the lid, what color oil, whether it smells (engine oil) burner.

Oil analysis by oil spots

If it is not clear through the neck, then get the dip and drop the oil to a blank sheet of paper. Then you need to wait, 15 minutes to dry and carry out a small analysis on the shape of a dried oil stain.

In the diameter of the drop should be no more than 3 centimeters, and the edges of the spots must be smooth. If the edges are sharp, then in oil is observed water content.

If the oil is clean and without impurities, the stain will be great and light, and within two days, it can almost completely disappear. If the stain turns yellow or oxidizes, then most likely the engine operates at elevated temperatures.

If the stain of motor oil in the very center of the drop light or close to light, the more healthy oil. Strong darkening on the contrary, indicates the presence of metal impurities in oil (metal chips). Such oil must be urgently changed, as it will lead to the wear of the driving surfaces of the engine.

If the zone of the outer ring of the engine oil is very small - it says about loss of additive properties In oil. Which are needed for detergents and dispersing qualities.

What oil to fill in lacetti

To understand which oil can be poured and in what cases, we will understand which oils are generally.

Classification of oils

Engine oil is basically different based on it:

• synthetic motor oil
• semi-synthetic motor oil
• mineral motor oil

By temperature sAE viscosity , for example: 5W-30, 0W-40, 10W-40 and so on.

API class: SL, SM, SN

Ascea oil ascea

Tolerances manufacturers: GM Dexos 2 in our case

Physiochemical properties.

Outcome according to the requirements for engine oil

Optimally pour in Chevrolet Lacetti Motor oil, which will be at the viscosity of SAE 5W-30 (for the main part of the central part of Russia and 0W-30 for colder regions), aPI class Not lower than SL, ascetic ascea: A3 (i.e., the polynoval engine oils, often on the packages are written A3 / B3-04 or A3 / B4-04), and the tolerances of manufacturers MB 229.5, BMW Longlife-01, VW 502.00, VW 505.00, GM - DEXOS 2, DEXOS 1, GM-LL-A025, GM-LL-B025

Real outcome

According to the result, most of the car owners are focused only on the designations of SAE and accordingly choose synthetic oil 5W-30. But the manufacturer basically choose what is heard. Not many choose original oil GM Dexos 2.So there are rumors that it distinguishes another eminent manufacturer. Mobil is afraid to fill, because it is often formed, but it is not always possible to determine the fake.

Based on all that described above, it is more favorable to fill in Lacetti:

Oil filter for lacetti

Plant Manufacturer installed on Chevrolet Lacetti Oil Filter Sewon Brand article GM № 96879797.At the moment there are a large number of analogues, for example:

• Mann 712/22from the German manufacturer
• Bosch 0451 103 079another German brand
• Fram PH 4722.
• Nengst H90W03.

Periodicity of oil replacement

Plant Manufacturer provides for the replacement of engine oil once every 15,000 km or once a year, Depending on what comes before.

In fact, it is better to change the oil before: for example 1 time in 10,000 km. The reason for premature oil replacement can serve as heavy operation of the car. For example, if you often stand in traffic jams, then you have a mileage can be low, but the engine still does not stop working, but wounds motochas.. Which very detrimental affects its resource. Or, for example, you overcame some deep water obstacle. After that, you just need to check the condition of the engine oil, for the presence of water in it. If it is there - change the oil immediately.

Some car owners come otherwise. They change motor oil twice a year. Before the start of winter, on a more viscous oil ( 0W-30) and then before the start of summer (on 5W-30).

Wash the engine when replacing oil

Wash the engine follows in the following cases:

• if you change oil on the oil of another manufacturer or another viscosity
• when the mechanical impurities are found in engine oil

In other cases, there is no particular sense in the washing of the engine.

And during flushing, you should use special washing oilrather than aggressive additives in small bottles, as they have a lot of detergent additives that can eliminate various rubber seals, engine glands.

Replacing the oil in the engine Chevrolet Lacetti is one of the simple and at the same time the most important proceduresaffecting the reliability and service life of the motor this car. It is much more difficult to choose a suitable oil, given the current rigid competition. There are a lot of parameters for which high-quality oil approved by the manufacturer is determined. In this article, consider the main selection criteria in such a way that the buyer is not mistaken and chose a worthy product.

Chevrolet company at the factory pours to Lacetti Oil With parameters 5W30 Dexos 2 from the General Motors concern. The volume of poured oil is 3.75 liters. Of course, you can pour the same oil throughout the operation of the car, however, today there is a whole list and other oils certified and approved by the plant. In any case, first of all it is necessary to pay attention to the standards of oil, and then the manufacturer's company.

Standards

• SAE is one of the parameters developed in the United States. On it are classified modern and most sought-after oils. In addition, for chevrolet models Lacetti is more suitable sAE oil With a temperature viscosity of 5W30 or 5W40.
• API is another standard, also regulated in the United States. This standard includes two categories of oils - S (for gasoline вс) and C (for diesel engines). In addition to these designations, for Chevrolet Lacetti, you can use the product and marking is not lower than SM.
• ACEA is european standard, A little similar to the American API. With this standard, European environmental norms and engine features are regulated, as well as oil properties. For example, for european version Lacetti. suitable oil with marking ACEA A3 / B3 or A3 / B4. The product is certified for all-season operation, and is suitable for powerful and injection motors.

How much to pour oil into the chevrolet lacetti engine

We note that 1,4 and 1.6 liters should be poured the same oil volume. So, according to the viscosity characteristics of SAE 5W30, the volume of the filling oil is at least 3.75 liters. Approximately so much poured at the factory.

Choosing an oil filter

As you know, the oil must be changed along with the oil filter. So, B. this case The ideal option will be the Sewon Korean filter with the original marking of 96879797, approved by the GM concern. As of 2017, the price of such a filter is 200 rubles.

Consider some more options:

• Mann 712/22 - German-made filter, ideal for Chevrolet Lacetti. It costs 180 rubles, that is, 20 rubles cheaper than the original.
• Bosch 0451 103 079 - Another German filter produced in South Africa. approximate price - 180 rubles.
• Hengst H90W03.
• Fram PH 4722.

Choice suitable oil for lacetti, as well as recommended standards
If you are guided by the original SAE viscosity standard, as well as the GM marking, in this case it is recommended to buy oil with a minimum number of additives. As for the choice of one or another oil, it is impossible to give an unequivocal answer. It all depends on the operating conditions, including temperature overboard the car. For example, for regions with a warm climate, the product with the viscosity of the OW-30 is suitable. Such oils correspond to this parameter:

1. ELF Excellium Full-Tech - This oil is ideal for Lacetti with big mileage and worn motor. This product has a minimum set of additives that quickly and effectively wash the systems, excluding the appearance of Nagara
2. ARAL SUPERTRONIC G is one of the most expensive, but also the highest quality oils with extreme low level Solost
3. Hundert Hight Tech - European Bestseller, Russia is rare in Russia
   Castrol EDGE - expensive oil with a long resource. Optimal characteristics make it an excellent choice for Chevrolet Lacetti

And now let's call oil with the highest level of viscosity:

• Liqui. Moly Special LL
• Motul Specific LL A / B 025
• Teboil Diamond.
• COMMA Syner-Z

First of all, it is necessary to pay attention to viscosity and temperature indicators, and then the brand of oil. Naturally, climatic conditions are taken into account in which the machine is operated, as well as the recommendation of the plant.

Chevrolet Lacetti - Compact car from GM Daewoo from South Korea. To this day, the assembly in China and Uzbekistan model in the body of the sedan continues. But the five-door body of the wagon and hatchback has already been stopped. Lacetti came to replace the Morally Outdated Daewoo Nubira. Was produced from 2004 to 2009 and was replaced. In Russia, the model stopped produced in 2014.

Russian buildings Lacetti received a choice of three engines - 1.4 E-TEC II (95 hp), 1.6 L E-TEC II (109 hp) and 1.8 LE-TEC II (122 hp .). To serve them is not more difficult than any other. The manufacturer recommends every 15,000 km run full replacement Motor oil (well, the filter is of course). For service it is not necessary to attend services and private mechanics, it can do everything yourself without any assistance with a minimum set of tools for an hour of time.

What oil pour and how much?

• GM Dexos 5W30;
• Total 9000 5W30;
• Liquima Molly Leichtlauf Special LL 5 W-30;
• Motul 8100 Eco-Clean 5W30;
• Zic x9 5w30;
• Lukoil Genesis 5W30;
• Shell Helix HX 5W30 and others.

As you could already understand, you can pour any oil with a tolerance (marking on the package) - GM.

In Lacetti, it is possible to fill both semi-synthetic and clean synthetics. Some, in the warm season, poured even mineral oil. However, it is better to look at the all-season types of product (synthetics) with a viscosity of 5W-30 or 5W-40.

number necessary oil Depends on power concrete Engine. The more powerful - the more it will be necessary.

• 1.4 16V (L14; NL95; F14D3) - 3.75 l;
• 1.6 (LXT; L44; F16D3) - 3.75 l;
• 1.8 (T18SED) - 4 l;
• 1.8 (F18D3) - 4 l;
• 2.0 D (z 20 Dm) - 6.2 liters.

In addition to engine oil, the cleaning filter is also changing at the same time. One of those suitable for Lacetti engines is called - Champion COF101102S.

Instruction

1. We warm the engine up to 50-60 degrees. Warm oil has a better turnover and better stalking from the engine with a complete replacement. Our task is removed to the maximum of the old dirty and waste fluid that no longer has useful properties from the engine and pour a new one. If there is a lot of old dirty oil in the crankcase, it is sweeping with the new and worsen its useful properties. War down before working the engine 5-7 minutes, it wakes up enough.
2. For convenient access to the drain plug (and in some models, the oil filter is also attached from the bottom) and the bottom of the car as a whole, it will be necessary to subdominate or call the observation pit ( the best way). Also, in some models, the "protection" of the engine crankcase can be installed.
3. Open air access to the crankcase by unscrewing the cover of the filler neck and the probe.
   
4. It substitutes a large container (equal to the amount of oil poured).
5. We unscrew the drain plug with the key. Sometimes the drain plug is made as common "bolt" under the front key, and sometimes you can unscrew using four or hexagon. Do not forget to wear protective gloves, oil most likely wakes warm but you need to keep in mind caution.
   
6. We are waiting for about 10-15 minutes while working out in a basin or a cropped plastic canister.
7. Optional point but very effective! Wash engine special fluid It is not inscribed in the service regulations and is not mandatory for implementation - but. A little confused you are at times better to promote the engine from the old, black oil. It is flushing with an old oil filter for 5-10 minutes. You will be surprised at which black oil will fall out with this liquid. Use this liquid is very simple. A detailed description should be present on the label of flushing fluid.
8. We change the filter of the cum. In some models, the filter itself is changing and the filter element (usually yellow). Impregnation with a new filter oil before installing is a mandatory procedure. The lack of oil in a new filter before starting the engine can cause oil starvation that in turn can produce filter deformations. In general, this is not a good thing. Do not forget to lubricate the rubber sealing ring before installing.
   
   
   
9. Pour new oil. Making sure that the drain plug is spinning, and the new oil cleaning filter is installed. We can start the fill of the new oil focusing on the pouch. The level should be between the minimum and maximum mark. Also, you need to remember that after the first start of the engine, some oil leaves and the level goes down.
10. In the future, when the engine is running, the oil level will certainly change, be attentive for the first few days of operation. Re-check the oil level on the PCU after the first start.

Video materials

Video rollers will help to understand the nuances that could appear in the Lacetti service.

Replacement frequency lubricant In any vehicle, it must correspond to the documentation specified in the auto-to-car. No need to regret money on oil with an oil filter. The potential of the machine depends on its characteristics.

Replacing motor oil on Chevrolet Lacetti

We select lubricant for Chevrolet Lacetti

Chevrolet determined the special rules of implementation maintenance For each model of the car produced by it. However, sometimes the frequency of replacement of some materials, such as lubricating fluid, can have significant differences from the documentation prescribed. Chevrolet Lacetti should be carried out either through 15,000 km of run, or once a year. But this is the necessary minimum.

In practice, the quality of fuel, as well as the driving style forces the replacement of Chevrolet Lacetti oil is much more recommended.

It is necessary to use the class liquid not less than the SL API (on the World Classification), it must have SAE 10W30 if the lacetti oil replaces is performed in the cold time (at temperatures below 25 degrees), the viscosity should be SAE 5W30. The volume of oil fluid in the Chevrolet Lacetti motor is 3.75 liters. Optimal lubricant brands:

All these brands combines the fact that they have the admission of Opel GM-LL-A025 (for power aggregates on gasoline) and B025 (for diesel). Buying one of them, you get a guarantee that the lubricant will not be a package of additives, non-helped GM. Do not make mistakes, solving which oil pouring in Lacetti.

Choosing Filter For Chevrolet Lacetti

Selecting the filtering device, first of all pay attention to the bandwidth of the paper, as well as the properties of the material and design. For Chevrolet Lacetti, there are five of the most suitable filtering devices (in brackets indicates the area of \u200b\u200bthe filter part, in square centimeters):

It is worth noting that the fifth of the list the filter has the best bandwidth.

Procedure for the replacement of Motor oil Chevrolet Lacetti

Drain of oil from Chevrolet Lacetti

Before you begin to replace the oil for Chevrolet Lacetti, warm the motor up to 70 degrees. It is required to remove residues from the system. Mount the transport on the overpass or the observation pit. Call a special neck for lubricant bay. Set under the drain of the motor crankcase vehicle Capacity by 4 l, wrench by 19 mm Open the drain hole.

Do it all very carefully, because there is a real risk of getting a burn used for lacetta.

Removal oil filter Lacheti.

Unscrew the filter element of your vehicle (manually or using the puller). Clean the cafeterial plane and the fixing fitter by a piece of fabric. Clean the plum plug (clean the thread with special care), change copper sealing puck.

All cleaning procedures need to be carried out with full responsibility, truly neatly. Poor cleansing leads to what you need constantly for Chevrolet Lacetti.

Pouring new oil

After complete cleansing, close the drop of the crankcase pallet power aggregate With the help of a stub. Lubricate the gasket that consists of rubber. Propinate the filtering part to the fitting, press it with your hands. After that, fill the new liquid into the hole.

No need to pour at once all the required fluid. In any case, a spent substance remained in the heart of the machine. First fill on three liters to pour it when it is necessary. Follow the amount of lubrication using the level indicators of the liquid level.

Do not forget to put the neck plug. Run the vehicle for a couple of minutes, then disconnect it. Controls so that there are no flies from under rubber gasket and plug holes.

Light bulb that is noticed about abnormal pressure must function more than usual, but be sure to smoke in a few seconds. If it continues to glow for five seconds, immediately muffle the car and look under the hood to find out the reason for the reduced pressure.

Checking Chevrolet Lacetti.

When checking the power unit, make sure that:

• There are no noises / knocks that may indicate rotation of connecting rod / indigenous inserts or about the malfunction of the pump;
• You poured in the neck oil for lacetta recommended (brand above);
• Lubricant in the motor of your iron friend is at a normal level, there are no spots under the engine;
• The pressure sensor works properly, its wire has not closed on the "mass".

Further use of the vehicle with emergency lubrication level brings to a serious motor breakage, therefore, to expensive fixing.

Checking the engine oil pressure

To understand what is the valid level of pressure in the lubricant complex, you will need a device called a pressure gauge.

1. Cook the car to the upcoming event.
2. Remove the emergency pressure panel.
3. Mount the tip of the pressure gauge into the hole of the indicator.
4. Get your car, follow the lubrication level sensor. In the CHEVROLET Lacetti working motor, the pressure of the lubricating fluid is potent equal to at least 30 kPa.

Low pressure is a faithful sign of the flow of pumping equipment, the worn out of the crankshaft liners or the crankshaft. If it is high, it means that the pump reduction valve has strongly spoiled. It is recommended not to start repair work Alone. It is better and more correct to contact the authorized service center of the Chevrolet company, where all the repairs will hold you.
