Quick answer: What kind of gasoline should I put in 8 cl viburnum?

The issue of gasoline quality is very acute for any car owner, both domestic cars and more expensive foreign cars. And quite a lot of people are sure that the more expensive the gasoline and the higher the octane number, the better it will be for the engine and injector of their car. But whether this is so and how justified the recommendations of the manufacturer AvtoVAZ are to fill the Lada Kalina strictly with AI-95 gasoline can only be seen from your own experience. This is what I wanted to talk about with all the blog readers below.

So, for the entire time I owned my Kalina, which is already more than two years and the odometer mileage is over 40,000 km, I refueled with both the most expensive 95th and the cheapest 80th fuel (there were hopeless situations). And I would like to share my experience of refueling various types of fuel.

If the factory says 95 gasoline, it means it’s for a reason. I only use 95.

I use the 92nd, I drive in the city, the consumption is 9 l 100 km. What difference does it make what kind of gasoline is burned in a traffic jam?

I use 95 and the car behaves better on it. I noticed this a long time ago, but I can mix 92 with 95 in the tank

At 92, the car drives stupidly and the consumption is higher, even if 95 is a little more expensive per liter, but the consumption is less and the car drives better.

If you pour 92, the catalyst will cover faster.

How much faster? The base is the same, the sulfur is also the same)))

The compression ratio is not suitable for 92 gasoline - hence the lack of combustion of the mixture.

Detonation and lack of combustion are incompatible... SZh 9.6, why is it unsuitable for the 92nd... And why was it suitable from 1984 to 2004, even on carbs without dd?)))) Euro-3... The cat, by the way, is not fundamentally different for Euro-2... In fact : it runs at 92 quite well and for a very long time... It’s better not to skimp on oil if you feel sorry for the cat...

Well, at least we all know where the roots of the Kalina engine come from, but still it has slightly different characteristics and the electronics there are designed to work with 95 gasoline. And Euro2 differs from Euro3 only in the presence of a second lambda and firmware, but the second lambda allows you to more accurately select the mixture, reduce consumption and enter a higher class of environmental friendliness

Judging by the rebound of the UOS, it’s not very clear that it’s written for 95))) Yes, and the 2111 is also configured for 95 esu))) I agree with everything, except that Euro-3 “eats” more precisely because poverty, IMHO...

Lew 95 - I feel great. After capitalizing the cylinder head and rolling back about 6000 km - compression 13.5-14

I even filled in the 100th) Norm!

Liu 95 to 92 shakes violently at idle, there seems to be a lot of detonation

On xx detonation?)))

I don't know. It just shakes the car at 92

According to the practice of 8 bug engines on a nine and a viburnum, it was pouring both. There is a difference, but not significant. The factory prescribed pouring 95 into the viburnum. I spat and poured for half a year 92, until the knock sensor began to go crazy and the engine rattled. Replaced sensor and switched to the 95th, after which the problems went away. And on the 92nd, the dynamics and consumption were much worse than on the 95th, but it started with half a push even at -42.

What kind of stupid questions are these? The manufacturer decided everything a long time ago. You need to pour 95 gasoline into the engine according to the service book.

Have read this book, but definitely need some advice...

HBO, the fourth generation is it)

Lew 92. Consumption in summer 7.0-7.1 in winter 7.5-7.8 tried 95, ZERO difference.

Results

As you can see for yourself, there is no big difference between AI-95 and AI-92 . Therefore, a reasonable question arises: why pay more, but get the same amount from it? However, you should always remember that before you give preference to one thing, you should try everything.

Remember the most important thing is that you should refuel your car only at trusted gas stations from trusted suppliers.

Hello everyone. Please share your impressions about fuel, which is better to fill in a viburnum with a 1.6 engine 8 kl-92 or 95?!

Oil properties

Especially for the Lada Kalina, AvtoVAZ has prepared a whole technological scheme that you need to follow when choosing the right oil. First, let’s look at why engine oil is so useful in general:

1. Oil lubricates the internal parts of the engine, and thus cleans it of dirt deposits.
2. The oil is designed for more efficient cooling of parts heated to a critical temperature
3. The oil protects the internal combustion engine from various corrosive effects on the internal components of the internal combustion engine.

What happens if you don’t add oil on time?

According to the operating instructions, the oil for Lada Kalina is changed every 10 thousand km. In this case, not only the oil is replaced, but also the filter element, which, together with the fuel and lubricants (oil), has the same service life. If you neglect timely oil changes, there is a risk of encountering the following problems:

1. Excessive wear and subsequent failure of engine parts. Among them we note pistons, oil scraper rings, as well as main and connecting rod bearings
2. Deposition of a large amount of carbon deposits on the walls of the combustion chamber
3. Deposition of a large amount of carbon deposits on the walls of the cylinder block
4. Scale appears in the engine, which leads to overheating of the internal combustion engine
5. Low anti-corrosion resistance
6. Oil channels need cleaning due to large dirt deposits
7. If you systematically refuse to change the oil, it may lead to a major overhaul of the engine - this is the worst case scenario. At best, there is a high probability of failure of the crankshaft and camshaft, which will need to be replaced. You will also have to update the piston group

AI-95

As the manufacturer recommends, even for 8-valve engines, it is necessary to fill in gasoline with the same octane number. At first, I listened to this advice, measured fuel consumption and for about 100 km at an average speed of 90 km/h the figure was no more than 5.5 - 5.8 liters. I turned out the spark plugs and they were fine, there were no deposits or red deposits, the engine ran properly and smoothly. In short, everything suited me. But after the car had traveled more than 10,000 km, and had also been run-in, I decided to try feeding it with cheaper gasoline, and below I’ll tell you about the shortcomings, if any!

Markings

Let's look at oil manufacturers, as well as markings that can help you find out whether Lada Kalina supports a particular oil.

• Lukoil Lux. SAE class – QW-40, 10W-40, 5W30; group – SL/CF
• Luxe Hit/Best. SAE class – 10W-40; group – SL/CF
• Novile Super. SAE class – 5W-30, 20W-50, 15W-30; SJ/CF
• Rosneft Maximum/Premium. SAE class – 5W-40, 10W-40, 5W-40; SL/CF
• Tatneft Synthetic/Ultra. OW-40, 5W-30, 5W-40; SM/CF, SL/CF
• Esso Ultra. 10W-40, SJ/SL/CF
• Mobil 1.OW-40, 5W-50, 10W-40; SJ/SM/SL/CF
• Shell. 5W-40, 10W-40; SL/CF
• ZIC A. 5W-30, 10W-30; SL

As you can see, Lada Kalina owners have a wide selection of oils with different classes and standards. Based on these standards, a car enthusiast can safely fill in any oil from the specified list.

Will the valves or pistons burn out?

These horror stories came to us from old carburetor cars. Where there were often only two types of gasoline, 76 and 93. And pouring 93 into an engine with 76 was not recommended! Why? YES because the carburetor could not automatically adjust the “octane number”, and it turned out that the mixture was still burning in the cylinders, but the exhaust valves opened and were melted by this flame!

YES this really happened, but if you adjust the carburetor to use high-octane fuel, then nothing bad will happen either.

Modern cars often already allow the use of all types of fuel; in the instructions for use, you can see the following inscriptions:

1. From 91 to 99
2. At least 92
3. Not less than 95
4. 95 is recommended, but 98 is possible

And so on. What this tells us is that often modern engines can operate on almost all modern standards. If we say in your car, at least 92 is recommended, then this means that you can fill in all types and 92, 95, 98.

If the car is designed for 95, then you can fill it with 95, 98. BUT if you fill it with 92 and detonation occurs, then the ignition angle will immediately be corrected by the “knock sensor”; this is exactly what it is designed for.

That is, modern engines, in the literal sense of the word, are SMART! Based on a bunch of sensors, the ECU will make the necessary decision and launch the necessary algorithm with this particular type of fuel.

So - NOTHING WILL BURN OUT FOR YOU, NOT A VALVE, LESS THAN THE PISTONS.

Fuel and lubricants for Lada Kalina 2. brands recommended by the factory

A car manufacturing plant always recommends the use of fuels and lubricants of certain brands. As for gasoline, Kalina-2 owners are advised to refuel their cars with the following brand of fuel: “Premium Euro-95” (GOST R-51866).

In fact, any gasoline with an octane rating of 95 will do, but the instructions state that the fuel must not contain metal additives (lead, iron, manganese). Such additives are the basis of anti-knock mixtures.

All motor oils recommended for use

Engine oil is usually replaced along with a paper filter. This consumes 2900 ml of fluid (for versions with automatic transmission – 4100 ml). The intervals between replacements are indicated in the service book.

Recommended materials for use:

BrandViscosity SAEQuality

To narrow the range of choices, be guided by the climatic conditions in which the car will be used. It is recommended to determine the viscosity class based on air temperature:

Lower limitViscosity gradeUpper limit

It is recommended to change the oil at a service station (service station). , however, the owner himself can add liquid to the tank.

Adding oil to the expansion tank

The oil level is controlled as follows: when the engine is turned off, unscrew the diagnostic dipstick located near the cylinder head cover between the third and second cylinders. A secondary check is carried out no earlier than after 3–5 minutes. after topping up.

The factory usually fills it with semi-synthetic material with a viscosity of 5W30 produced by Rosneft OJSC. Check the information by opening the service book.

Manual transmission oil

Transmission oils, just like motor oils, are classified according to quality level. According to API designations, all performance properties are characterized by one number (from 1 to 6). The following consumables are suitable for the manual transmission of Kalina-2 cars:

Brand Viscosity SAE API Class

In an automatic transmission, the oil cannot be changed. When changing manual transmission oil, it is preferable to use material with a viscosity of 75W85, 75W90.

How to add transmission oil

The main thing is that the dipstick plug should always be screwed in as far as possible. The volume of transmission fluid in a manual transmission is 2200 ml, but, according to reviews, it is about 3 liters. The material used is from the factory manufactured (see table above).

Official data on gasoline consumption

There are two series of cars and several more of their modifications; data on gasoline consumption of the Lada Kalina differ somewhat, depending on the installed engine and body type. Typically, a station wagon consumes more gas than a hatchback or sedan due to the vehicle's greater weight. However, according to the manufacturer, there may be a slight difference in consumption even between a hatchback and a sedan of the same series, modification and year of manufacture.

In theory, the Lada Kalina has an average gasoline consumption for a 1.4 liter engine of about 9.6 liters. in the city and up to 6.3 l. when driving on an open road. Naturally, each modification has its own characteristics, parameters and technical characteristics; we will consider below exactly how this affects the fuel consumption of the Lada Kalina.

AI-92

As you probably guessed, I didn’t notice any difference between the octane numbers at all. The same confident engine start, smooth operation at idle and at high speeds, no detonation and not even a hint that the car didn’t like anything. After driving another 10,000 km only on 92nd fuel, I decided to unscrew the spark plugs again and assess their condition, and as it turned out, they were ideal, the same light gray color without the slightest deposits, which indicated a completely serviceable engine and system nutrition. As for consumption, this indicator has not changed at all throughout the entire time, the dynamics and traction remained the same. I concluded that the engine makes absolutely no difference to these changes of 3 units of octane number.
