Hello, today we will show you how to independently replace the oil filter and engine oil on a VAZ 2105, 2107. Engine oil is changed on average once every 10,000 km and it is changed together with the filter, otherwise the new oil will be of little use. The maximum you can drive without changing the oil is 15,000 km, but this is already the limit; if you drive longer, the engine will begin to “die.” Why you need oil in the engine, you can read Oil needs to be changed with a hot, switched off engine.
First, remove the oil filler cap, this is necessary so that the oil does not “gurgle” when it drains
Now use a large hexagon to unscrew the drain plug on the engine crankcase and drain the oil into a previously prepared container
We wait for as much oil as possible to drain for 5-10 minutes and screw the drain plug into place. Now you need to change the oil filter. First, try to unscrew the oil filter by hand, if it doesn’t work, then use a special puller, and if there is no puller, then you can pierce the filter with a screwdriver at the base and use it to unscrew it
Next, we screw in the new oil filter; it’s best to screw it in by hand so as not to overdo it and strip the threads. We pour new engine oil through the oil filler neck and at the same time check its level in the engine using the dipstick. After you have filled the oil to the max mark on the dipstick, start the engine for a few seconds and after waiting 5 minutes, check the oil level again, as the oil spreads throughout the engine and the oil filter fills up, it may need to be topped up.
One of the main types of maintenance work for VAZ cars, no matter what model and year of manufacture, is the replacement of working fluids, primarily oil. Moreover, a change of lubricants should be carried out in all components of the car where the lubricant is used. First of all, these are the engine and transmission parts.
Since in our latitudes there is a seasonal change in climate with strong temperature changes, the question often arises of what kind of oil to pour into a VAZ engine in winter, because the change of season also affects the properties of the lubricant. And this issue should be somewhat understood.
Viscosity
Let's start with the fact that one of the main parameters of a lubricant intended for filling into power plants is its viscosity. This characteristic determines the fluidity of the oil under different operating conditions. It must be fluid while cold (to ensure ease of starting the engine) and maintain viscosity, that is, not drain from the surface, after heating. It is the viscosity of the oil that is one of the main criteria when choosing. To designate lubricants by viscosity, a whole classification has been introduced - SAE.
According to it, all oils are divided into:
- Summer;
- Winter;
- All-season;
The first two options are relatively rare in our country; they are more intended for use in conditions of year-round stable temperatures. For the summer version, the main criterion is the preservation of viscosity at high temperatures, and fluidity at low temperatures is practically not taken into account. And everything is exactly the opposite for the winter version.
Since we have large seasonal temperature changes, it is simply not practical to use summer and winter oils separately. Therefore, it is more rational to use all-season lubricants. Moreover, they also come in different viscosities, so you should also choose the right engine oil for the winter in your VAZ.
To indicate the viscosity of all-season motor oils according to the SAE classification, an index consisting of numbers and letters is used. Examples of such markings are 5W-40, 0W-30, 10W-50, etc. The first part of the marking indicates viscosity values at low temperatures. Essentially, this indicator indicates at what minimum temperature threshold the lubricant will remain fluid enough for the oil pump to “push” it through the system. And in this case, the lower the number of the first part of the marking, the greater the frost the lubricant will withstand. Thus, oil with an index of 5W will remain fluid at temperatures down to -30 degrees, but for 15W the maximum temperature threshold is already -20 degrees C.
The second part of the marking indicates viscosity at high temperatures. Here the opposite is true: the higher the number, the higher the viscosity after heating.
To select the viscosity of engine oil for the winter for a VAZ-2114 or any other model, you just need to determine the temperature in different seasons. So, for northern latitudes, you should first of all be guided by low-temperature viscosity, that is, by the first part of the SAE index. If in winter the temperature drops to -30 degrees. C and below, it is better to use 0W or at least 5W oils. Using a lubricant with a higher index will lead to the fact that in severe frosts the oil will be so thick that the starter will not be able to crank the crankshaft. But for southern latitudes, you should focus more on the second part of the index, that is, high-temperature viscosity.
For latitudes with a temperate climate, winter oil for the VAZ-2106 (in general, it does not matter which model) you will have to find a compromise so that the lubricant remains liquid in winter and viscous in summer. The optimal oil for such a climate is 5W-40.

Oil type
We looked at what kind of oil to pour into a VAZ 2110 in winter based on such a parameter as viscosity.
But the type of lubricant should also be taken into account. There are three in total:
- Mineral;
- Synthetic;
- Semi-synthetic;
Mineral oil for winter VAZ-2109
- the worst option. Such a lubricant made by processing petroleum products is characterized by insufficiently good performance indicators, especially low-temperature viscosity. That is, its thickening threshold is much higher than that of other types of oil. But here it is worth noting that such oil for use as a lubricant is practically never found. But it is often used as a basis for flushing liquids.
Synthetic oil
– one of the most optimal options for power plants of modern cars. It is obtained by synthesis, during which certain parameters of the lubricant are set, including viscosity. Therefore, when deciding which oil to pour into a VAZ-2114 in winter, preference should be given to synthetic oil.
Polysynthetic
is a mixture of mineral and synthetic oils. In terms of performance indicators, it is inferior to “synthetics” (but at a lower price), but superior to “mineral water”. Therefore, using such oil in the VAZ-21083 engine or models of the classic family is a completely acceptable option.
It is these two criteria - viscosity and type that should be taken into account when determining which oil to fill in the VAZ-2115 or any other model for the winter.
Naturally, you should pay attention to the manufacturer. You should not buy lubricant from dubious places of sale or from little-known manufacturers. When choosing oil, it is better not to skimp.
Finally, let's take a look at the transmission. In VAZ classic models, lubricant is poured into the gearbox and gearbox, and starting from the VAZ-2108 model and higher - only in the gearbox (they do not have a gearbox). Moreover, these units use a special oil - transmission oil. This lubricant does not require replacement as often as power plant lubricant, and the general requirements for it are much lower.
When choosing VAZ-2107 transmission oil for the winter, you don’t really need to take into account the nuances. Transmission elements use oils with SAE classification index 75W-85, 80W-90, etc. It is poured into both the gearbox and gearbox.
Instructions
- We warm up the engine to 45-50 degrees. Warm oil has better fluidity and will drain better from the engine during a complete replacement. Our task is to remove as much as possible the old dirty and used fluid that no longer has useful properties from the engine and fill it with new one. If a lot of old dirty oil remains in the crankcase, it will be swept away with the new one and will worsen its beneficial properties. Warm up the engine for 5-7 minutes before starting, this will be sufficient.
- For easy 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, you need to jack it up or drive into an inspection hole (the best option). Also, some models may have engine crankcase “protection” installed.
- We open air access to the crankcase by unscrewing the filler cap and dipstick.
- Place a large container (equal to the amount of oil being poured).
- Unscrew the drain plug using a hexagon. Don't forget to wear protective gloves, the oil will most likely wake you up warm, but you need to be careful.
- We wait about 10-15 minutes until the waste flows into a basin or cut-off plastic canister.
- Optional but very effective! Flushing the engine with a special liquid is not included in the maintenance regulations and is not mandatory - but. By getting a little confused, you will be much better at flushing out the old, black oil from the engine. In this case, wash with the old oil filter for 5-10 minutes. You will be surprised at the black oil that comes out with this liquid. This liquid is very easy to use. A detailed description should appear on the flushing fluid label.
- Changing the sedum filter. In some models, it is not the filter itself or the filter element (usually yellow) that is changed. Impregnating the filter with new oil before installation is a mandatory procedure. Lack of oil in the new filter before starting the engine can cause oil starvation, which in turn can cause filter deformation. Overall this is not a good thing. Also remember to lubricate the rubber O-ring before installation.
- Fill in new oil. Having made sure that the drain plug is screwed in and a new oil filter is installed, we can begin to fill in new oil using the dipstick as a guide. The level should be between the minimum and maximum marks. Also, you need to remember that after the first start of the engine, some oil will leave and the level will drop.
- In the future, when the engine is running, the oil level will probably change; be careful during the first few days of operation. Recheck the oil level using the dipstick after the first start.
Video - Which car oil to choose for the winter?
“Seven” from VAZ is one of the longest-living record holders in our automobile industry. Since the release of the first copy in 1982, it has not left the assembly line for 30 years. The model was positioned as a luxury version of the VAZ 2105 with a more powerful engine. Otherwise, the “seven” was distinguished by comfortable seats, a redesigned dashboard and a lot of chrome in the trim. Until 2000, the VAZ 2107 was equipped with a 1.5-liter carburetor engine, after which it was equipped with injection units of the same volume.
Engine life depends greatly on the quality and type of oil used. What kind of oil to fill in VAZ 2107
? The simple answer to this question is simple: “You must use the oil recommended by the manufacturer.” But this issue deserves more detailed consideration.

Classification of motor oils
The manufacturer's recommendations do not regulate the type of oil applicable to the "Seven" engine. Mineral, synthetic and semi-synthetic oil can be poured into the engine if it meets the quality requirements.
Motor oil canisters are marked (for example, “API SJ” or “API SG/CD”), which informs about the quality of the product. When choosing oil, this is what you should pay attention to.
The abbreviation API ( American
Petroleum Institute )
means “American Petroleum Institute.” This is an American non-governmental organization that provides regulation of issues related to the gas and oil industries. One of the areas of API's work is the development of standards and recommended practices for the oil and gas industry.
Motor oil is standardized according to the following indicators:
- toxicity;
- washing ability;
- corrosive activity;
- effectiveness of protecting parts from friction;
- the amount of deposits remaining on parts over the period of operation;
- temperature characteristics.
The letters “S” and “C” mean that the oil is intended for gasoline or diesel engines.
The letter after "S" or "C" indicates the quality of the engine oil's performance characteristics. The markings are in alphabetical order. The further the letter is from “A”, the better the characteristics of the oil.
Oil suitable for VAZ 2107 is minimum “API SG/CD”.
Note: the SAE methodology (type “5W40” qualifies oil only by viscosity indicators. This classification does not take into account performance characteristics and quality.
What type of oil to pour into the VAZ 2107
If we talk about what kind of oil to pour into the VAZ 2107
, “synthetic”, “mineral” or “semi-synthetic”, then the “seven” is most suitable for synthetic oil. As a compromise - semi-synthetic.
Synthetic oils are synthesized from different chemicals and have greater fluidity at low temperatures. This type of oil is insensitive to overheating and is more stable from a chemical point of view. Accordingly, the service life of “synthetics” is much longer than that of “mineral water”.
Semi-synthetic oil is a compromise between the quality of synthetic oil and the price of mineral oil. It is suitable for use in summer or in warm winter conditions. In severe frosts, it is better to use synthetic oil.
Thanks to additives, semi-synthetic and synthetic oils have advanced lubricating properties and significantly slow down engine wear.
Pro Tips
When replacing, it is best to fill in the exact brand of oil that was poured into the crankcase of the VAZ-2107 power unit before.
It is not recommended to fill old, worn-out engines with synthetics, because it washes away deposits that fill microcracks in the oil sump.
After running in the factory engine, it is better to immediately fill it with synthetic oil, since in a good engine, modern synthetic lubricant will prevent it from overheating and thereby significantly increase its service life.
Regardless of what distances the car has covered, if you replace consumables and operating fluids on time, then it will serve reliably for many years and delight you with its reliability.
In this article you will learn how to change the oil and what is associated with it. This will extend the life of the vehicle and promote proper operation. All work can be divided into several stages, which will be discussed below.
How much oil is needed for a VAZ 2107 engine
According to the manufacturer, the amount of oil in the system, including the filter, is 3.75 liters. Taking into account waste compensation, a 4-liter canister of oil is enough to fill the system and top up during operation.
- When changing oil, it is better to fill in the brand that was used before. If the type of old and new oil does not match (for example, “synthetic” after “mineral oil”), it is better to flush the system after draining the old oil.
- Synthetic oil should not be used in older engines. Due to the increased cleaning properties of “synthetics”, it can wash away deposits that cover microcracks in the crankcase.
- It is better to fill a new engine exclusively with synthetic oil. This will prevent it from overheating and significantly increase its resource. Therefore, immediately after break-in, it is necessary to drain the oil filled at the factory and fill the system with “synthetics”.
- Regardless of the engine mileage, timely replacement of lubricants will increase its service life and increase reliability.
The far-fetched problem of choosing oil for the VAZ 2107 is not so difficult. It is enough to follow the manufacturer's quality recommendations and purchase the desired type of oil, based on operating conditions (cold or warm climate), engine condition and financial capabilities.
If you are the proud owner of a VAZ
model range called “
Zhiguli
” or popularly “
Classic
” and you still don’t know how to change the engine oil in your car’s engine with your own hands, then this article is for you.
Although it is very strange that there are such people in the vastness of our homeland. After all, scientists have already proven that “our people”

Now about the main thing - how to change the oil
and
an oil filter
in the engine of a
VAZ-2101, VAZ-2102, VAZ-2105, VAZ-2106, VAZ-2107
and what you need to have for this.
First you need to buy an oil filter and four liters of engine oil. We choose the brand and type of motor oil according to the state of our wallet and the current time of year. As an average, the best option for Zhiguli cars can be recommended - all-season (10W40) semi-synthetic motor oil. Tool required to change the oil in the engine of a VAZ-2101, VAZ-2102, VAZ-2105, VAZ-2106, VAZ-210
7: a) hex key to “12” and a metal tube with an internal diameter slightly larger than 12 mm, b ) a special wrench for unscrewing the oil filter (if it is not there, then there are two options left - your own hands and a screwdriver), c) a socket or socket wrench for 17 in the arsenal can also come in handy if suddenly there is a non-standard drain plug on the oil pan (see photo 1). You should also think about a container for draining old oil. The work of changing the engine oil should be carried out on an inspection pit, lift or overpass, since this procedure is quite inconvenient to carry out “from the ground”. Let's save our nerves and strength!
1. Before changing engine oil
The car should be warmed up to operating temperature (70-80 degrees), then turned off and using a hex wrench set to “12”, unscrew the drain plug on the engine sump (photo 2) and, substituting a previously prepared container, drain the oil. In order for the oil to drain better, unscrew the cap on the filler neck of the valve cover.
2. Using special Unscrew the oil filter
(photo 3).
If there is no key, then you can try to unscrew the filter with both hands; fortunately, getting to it is not difficult. If you cannot unscrew the filter by hand, a screwdriver will come to the rescue. This process has already been described in the article Changing engine oil on a Daewoo Sens car, if you wish, you can read it. But I hope it doesn’t come to that for you. 3. After the engine oil has completely drained, we screw the drain plug into the crankcase pan. 4. Before installing a new oil filter
, fill it with a small amount of oil and lubricate the rubber O-ring (photo 4).
It won’t hurt if you wipe the oil filter seat on the engine block (photo 5). 5. the oil filter
in by hand! And after that, pour oil into the engine. By monitoring the oil level using a dipstick. Its level should be between the MAX and MIN marks or not reach the MAX mark 2-3 mm. 6. Start the engine and let it run for a few minutes (the engine oil pressure light should go out within 4-5 seconds). After this, turn off the engine and after 5 minutes check the engine oil level, oil filter and drain plug for oil leaks. If necessary, add oil to the engine or tighten the drain plug and oil filter.

The designers incorporated several innovative technical solutions into the VAZ 2105 engine. Firstly, the valve does not bend when the transmission breaks, and secondly, rotation is transmitted to the timing camshaft by a toothed belt.
Oil change intervals and vehicle preparation
How often is the engine oil changed on a VAZ 2103? Let's pay attention to a few points:
- If the oil was filled in after a major overhaul of the engine, it should be changed after 1 thousand kilometers. This is done because during break-in, intensive wear of engine parts occurs - the connecting rod-piston group and other parts.
- The usual oil change on Zhiguli engines is carried out during the period of 8-10 thousand kilometers or after 2 years, if the car has not been used, the lubricant will simply lose its properties.
- If mineral motor oil was poured into the engine, it should be replaced earlier.
- Unsuitable oil has a dark color - black, gray. This indicates that it contains a large amount of carbon deposits and other harmful substances and signals the need for replacement.
What does preparing a car for an oil change include? Let's look at it in order:
- Of course, purchasing oil and filter.
- The condition of your car's engine is satisfactory. If the engine is “consuming” oil or if traces of leaks are visible on the block, then it would be advisable to first repair the engine to eliminate all the shortcomings.
- Warming up the engine. Hot oil drains better - an indisputable fact. Before changing the oil, you should drive it for about 10 kilometers.
- Find a hole or overpass.
If you have a hole in your garage, that's just great. If not, then you will have to work hard and find these objects. They are the most convenient way to change the engine oil of a VAZ 2103.
- And, of course, a tool.

A complete description of the internal combustion engine parameters is contained in the official manual of the manufacturer. It states that opposite the valves in the engine pistons there are slots that ensure the safety of the internal combustion engine in the event of a timing belt break - the piston will not be able to “meet” the valve physically. The user simply replaces the rubber product; no major repairs are required.
Design nuances
To obtain the above engine characteristics, the manufacturer carried out experiments:
- piston stroke reduced to 66 mm;
- the cylinder diameter, on the contrary, is increased to 79 mm.
The result was a revving, powerful engine with an aluminum valve cover that absorbed the sounds of the drive. Another feature of the internal combustion engine is the fastening of the timing belt pulley - users do not need to unscrew the bolt on the crankshaft, unlike previous VAZ engine models.
In the operating instructions, the manufacturer recommends which oil to pour into the engine - 5W30 - 15W40.

Which manufacturer is better, what to choose?
I have prepared many thematic ratings for my site, based on comparing reviews by brand and comparing laboratory analyzes of each model. I recommend checking it out. It's better to see once than to hear 100 times. There is never a clear answer.

- Rating of oils for winter 0w-20, 0w-30, 0w-40
What cars were equipped with ICE 2105?
This modernization could not satisfy users of the domestic automobile industry. The main drawback was the regular breakage of the timing belt, AvtoAZ management reduced production volumes, then removed the 2105 engine from production, so only three modifications of the Zhiguli were equipped with the engine:
- 2105 sedan;
- 2104 station wagon;
- 21072 sedan.
Currently, tuning for the engine of this series is not difficult, but among the operating fleet of Zhiguli “fives” with the “native” engine there are very few left.
Maintenance regulations

| Timing belt | replacement after 40,000 km |
| Battery | 1 year/20000 |
| Valve clearance | 2 years/20000 |
| Crankcase ventilation | 2 years/20000 |
| Belts that drive attachments | 2 years/20000 |
| Fuel line and tank cap | 2 years/40000 |
| Motor oil | 1 year/10000 |
| Oil filter | 1 year/10000 |
| Air filter | 1 – 2 years/20000 |
| Fuel filter | 4 years/20000 |
| Heating/Cooling Fittings and Hoses | 2 years/40000 |
| Coolant | 2 years/40000 |
| Oxygen sensor | — |
| Spark plug | 1 – 2 years/20000 |
| Exhaust manifold | 2 years |
Knowing what kind of oil is used in the engine and the type of liquid with which the cooling system is filled, you can carry out maintenance of the “five” internal combustion engine yourself.
Causes of malfunctions and their elimination
In principle, the 2105 engine has all the typical malfunctions of carburetor in-line internal combustion engines:
- clogging of the fuel system, fuel pump, carburetor, throttle, jets and filter;
- exhaustion of the life of the air filter and microswitch;
- failure of the ignition system and stuck valves and piston rings;
- breakdown of gaskets and seals, misadjustment of cam gaps;
- production of cylinders/pistons, bearing shells;
- loosening the flywheel bolts and attachment drive belts.
But the engine diagram allows you to avoid major repairs if the timing belt breaks by 100%.
