Gear oil must necessarily be in the PPC of any vehicle, in particular in a box car VAZ 2114. Its task - cooling and lubrication of all moving parts gearbox design. Systematic review of the level of the transmission oil and its timely replacement is the key to proper and uninterrupted operation of both the PPC and the entire vehicle as a whole. Agree, much easier and cheaper to regularly take care of the transmission than to produce its repair or replacement. About this further in the article.

CAT oil is 2114, why do we need oil in gearbox

Few people know, but it was the gearbox is the most stable part of the car. This item breaks down much less than other elements, but it does not mean that she does not need proper care. Any of the mechanisms that make up the elements of which are in the process of work are subject to friction, and it does not matter, it is an automatic gearbox or mechanical, equally require timely care. Not the least role in this respect, takes the number and quality of the lubricant.

If the lubricants are not enough or not be at all, the parts of the box running each other will be exposed to elevated wear, which will entail a quick output of the gearbox.

Replacing oil in the checkpoint, how often it is necessary to change the oil

The VAZ 2114 manufacturer recommends replacing the oil every 60 thousand mileage kilometers. However, it largely depends on the operational conditions of the vehicle. Experts recommend in some cases to reduce the specified period twice.

Replacing the oil, what features and signals talk about the need to replace the oil

On the need to replace oil signals the following signs:

1. It is difficult to switch the transfer.
2. When the engine is working in the box, the creak and other extraneous noises are distributed.
3. The clutch does not work.

Oil in the VAZ 2114 box, which must be considered when selecting oil

When choosing a transmission oil for VAZ 2114, the car owner must take into account the following factors:

1. Weather conditions in which the car will mainly be operated. This is primarily refer to the seasonal ambient temperature.
2. Features of the transmission design, automatic or mechanical gearbox is mounted on a car, which are mechanical efforts in aggregates and what specific loads are experiencing, especially with maximum motor turnover.
3. The viscosity of the transmission oil, which is supposed to be purchased on the basis of the analysis of previous items.
4. The presence of different chemically active additives and additives that are able to affect the performance of non-metallic and metal parts of the transmission units.

Car owner, previously analyzing all the factors described above and studying the presence of the required material in auto-shops available to it, decides which lubricant is better pour into the box.

What oil

It is very important to use transmission types of oils for transmission boxes, which are specifically designed for this. Many experts recommend applying for PPC VAZ 2114 only synthetic oils, since they do not even freeze in the strongest frosts and have good lubricant properties. Alternatively, you can pour the semi-synthetic product. Its characteristics, of course, worse than synthetics, but the cost is almost twice. That is why many VAZ holders prefer semi-synthetic materials. As for mineral oils, it is not recommended to use them, as a result of their low performance characteristics.

How much oil is needed

The volume of oil in the box 2114 is 3.3 liters. However, it is advisable to buy a little more.

What kind of oil can not fill

It is strictly forbidden to fill in a box 2114 oil with higher viscosity SAE 85W-90 motor or 5W50 and 10W50. Even in the hottest period of the gear front-wheel drive transmission will not be able to obtain optimum lubrication, and in the cold - will simply work on a break.

Metal shavings in PPC lubrication, as beeps when metal swarf

Upon detection of metal chips or particles in oil, must identify the source of their origin. Usually, the cause of the swarf - damage or wear of an element.

How to wash PPC

To flush the gearbox 2114, it is necessary to completely drain the lubricant, and then fill in the box a special washing agent. Then, any one post of the vehicle, for example, lifted by the jack-left wheel, so that it was in the air. Next, we start the car and turn the engine first gear. When the engine will work seven minutes, it is necessary to muffle the engine, drain the flushing material box and pour into it the new transmission oil.

Changing the oil in the PPC 2114, step by step guide

Oil change is performed on hot motor. For convenience, the work should be carried out on a viewing hole or overpass.

1. Disassemble protection.
2. We put the vehicle on handbrake and wheel prop boots for reliability.
   
3. Disassemble the rubber cap (as pictured) and clean it. It should also be cleaned with a wire brush opening appeared.
   
4. Remove the dipstick to check the level of the transmission oil.
   
5. Next, substitute the capacity to drain lubricant.
   
6. Unscrew the drain plug and wait until all the oil will pour.
7. In the last step - fill in new lubricant to the optimum level.

Tips pros how to measure the oil level in gearbox

the oil level check is made using a special probe. The vehicle, in this case, must stand on a flat surface.
