Replacing the oil filter on a VAZ 2109

Oil filters for VAZ 2109

Car oils have been used since their creation, since even several centuries ago designers understood that it was necessary to reduce the friction of parts, otherwise the service life would be reduced to a minimum. Today on the market oil filters for VAZ 2109 and other models are presented in an extremely wide range. It is literally difficult at first glance to make the right choice. However, in reality, this is far from true and this opinion is imaginary. Oil filters for VAZ 21093, known today, will be presented in this article.

The role of oil in ensuring the functioning of a car

Oil filter VAZ 2109 choice

As you know, all the parts in a car come into contact with each other to one degree or another. It is the degree of contact that determines the force of friction. From a practical point of view, the friction force is a very subtle concept; on the one hand, it must be strong enough to ensure the operation of the entire mechanism, on the other hand, it must be moderate, otherwise the car parts that come into contact with each other will quickly become unusable. The main parameters that a modern automobile oil must meet:

• maintain friction of car parts at a certain level;
• increase the density of blockages to prevent unwanted gas breakthroughs;
• have anti-corrosion properties;
• reduce the temperature level of parts that, due to their structural features and functional purpose, are subject to constant heating;
• do not allow wear products to interact with vehicle parts.

Installation of the lubrication system, changing the oil and oil filter of the Lada 2108, lubrication of the engine of the VAZ 21099, VAZ 2108, VAZ 2109. Operation of engine components and its systems of the Lada 21099. Troubleshooting the systems of the Lada 2108: exhaust, cooling, power, lubrication. Recommendations for repairing the cylinder head of Lada 2109.

Replacement frequency:

every 15,000 km Motor oils: Lada Samara “LUKOIL-Arctic” (5W-30, 5W-40; SG/CD); "YAR-Marka Super" (5W-30, 5W-40; SG/CD); "Novoil Synt" (5W-30; SG/CD); "ESSO ULTRA" (10W-40; SJ/SH/CD); "ESSO UNIFLO" (15W-40; SJ/SH/CD)

It is best to drain the oil after a trip, while the Lada Satellite engine is still warm. If the engine is cold, start and warm it up to operating temperature (coolant temperature 80°C according to the temperature gauge).

Place the car on a flat horizontal platform or on an inspection ditch.

We recommend filling in the same brand of oil that was in the engine of the VAZ 2108, VAZ 2109, VAZ 21099. If you nevertheless decide to change the brand of oil, flush the engine lubrication system with flushing oil or oil of the same brand that you will be pouring into the engine. To do this, after draining the oil, fill in new oil to the lower mark of the oil level indicator (dipstick). Start the VAZ 2109 engine and let it run for 10 minutes at idle speed. Drain the oil and only then replace the oil filter of the VAZ 2108. Now you can fill in new oil.

Warning

Do not dump used oil on the ground.

The right approach to choosing oil filters

Oil filter for VAZ 21093

Since today the automotive market is represented by an extremely wide range of products, we should not forget about the simple truth: “Quality does not mean quantity.” It is necessary to objectively navigate the manufacturers and be able to select the most rational option based on your financial budget.

Note. In practice, the above provision is not only difficult or slightly difficult to implement, but in most cases it is impossible if you do not know how to navigate the assortment.

Sometimes oil filters are literally soaked through with engine oil, however, if they do not function properly, the engine oil will not be able to be recycled. As a result:

• motor oil no longer has the same properties, instead of a positive protective effect, it begins to have a negative effect, acting as a wear substance;
• engine power is lost;
• heat transfer decreases as a result of reduced heat dissipation, constant overheating of the motor is observed;
• The overall efficiency of the vehicle also suffers significantly.

From the above, the following facts become obvious:

• the oil filter and oil represent a single mechanism that is necessary to extend the life of car parts, as well as to increase the efficiency of their direct functioning;

• choosing a good oil for the engine is not difficult, since it is recommended directly by the car manufacturer (the difficulty lies in finding a rational option for purchasing an oil filter, since there is not much information about them and it is often very contradictory).

Note. Before purchasing one or another oil filter, you need to briefly familiarize yourself with the most popular manufacturers and find out their differences in the form of advantages and disadvantages. The more information a manufacturer provides about its product, the higher the likelihood that the product is of high quality and justifies its cost.

Change of oil

Before carrying out work, we need to prepare the necessary tools in advance.

1. New oil.
2. New filter.
3. Wrench 19.
4. Clean rags.
5. Container for used oil.

In a VAZ 21099 car, the volume of oil poured is 3-3.5 liters. But it’s worth buying a 4-liter canister. It happens that during the operation of the car, the engine “eats up” oil and needs to be topped up. Most car owners use semi-synthetic oil with a viscosity of 10w40, less often 5w40.

Review of the most popular oil filter manufacturers

Before moving directly to the consideration of oil filters, you need to understand that there is no need to focus your attention on the structure of a particular filter, since only a highly qualified engineer can understand this information, and not everyone. Therefore, even experienced mechanics do not draw any logical conclusions based on the structure of the oil filter.

Budget category filters

So, first it is advisable to consider the most affordable options for oil filters. This category includes:

• SKT;
• "Zolex";
• "Alpha";
• "UFI";
• "Vicks".

All of the above filters cost approximately the same:

• The Alpha oil filter is a product from a national manufacturer.
• Nominally, the box says that Zolex and SKT were made in Germany, but in reality they were made in China.

Note. A completely ordinary situation of our time: a company from Germany ordered the production of these products in China. As a result, the label is German, but the quality is Chinese.

• Nominally, although it is indicated on the box that the UFI oil filter is from Italy, however, in reality it is from China, the situation is similar to the two products listed above.

All of the above filters, with the exception of “Alpha,” are problematic if we draw a conclusion based on practice. You can easily find confirmation of this on the World Wide Web.

Their problem is this: the bypass valve does not fully perform its functions; it often either sticks or allows oil to flow back into the system. Although from a theoretical point of view, the filter should filter the oil. In fact, the recycled dirty oil is returned back to the engine:

• The Vicks oil filter is a pretty good alternative to the four listed above; it also belongs to the budget category. The Vicks oil filter is produced by a national manufacturer, which is a very significant factor. Plus, car enthusiasts generally respond quite positively to this oil filter, even despite such a low cost. And these filters do not cause any special complaints.

Note. It should be objectively understood that most national oil filters are significantly superior to their Chinese counterparts in quality, although they are almost identical in price.

Mid-price filters

The average price category is represented by the two most popular filters:

• "Standard" (Russia);
• "Champion" (Belgium).

The quality is quite acceptable and does not cause virtually any external comments from car owners. From a practical point of view, the above filters are quite adequate products, considering the price-quality ratio.

Note. The price category does not have a significant impact on the frequency of cleaning oil filters; this should be remembered often and should not be forgotten.

Oil functions

The oil operating in the engine system performs several important functions at once:

• Maintains the level of friction between motor components at a certain level;
• Increases the density of blockages, which prevents gas breakthroughs;
• Has an anti-corrosion effect on engine parts;
• Reduces the temperature of parts that, due to their design features, are constantly heating up;
• Does not allow wear products to interact with the elements of the power unit.

The filter is extremely important because it filters the lubricating fluid, traps large metal particles and debris, which significantly extends the service life of the engine and the lubricating fluid used.

How to distinguish the world's most popular filter "Man" from a fake

Oil filter for VAZ 2109 Man

Recently, the World Wide Web has been filled with conflicting opinions regarding the most popular Man oil filter, which is produced in the USA. Below are criteria that will help determine where the original is and where the fake is. Signs of a fake:

• blurry font;
• instructions in the form of an inscription;
• the bypass valve spring is visible (manufacturing defect from the Chinese manufacturer), as it is not inserted evenly;
• The sealing ring can be easily removed;
• The outer covering is unvarnished.

Features of the original “Man” filter:

• clear font on the filter;
• instructions are presented in the form of pictures;
• the spring is not visible, as it stands level;
• the sealing ring is very difficult to remove;
• varnished coating.

Viewing photos and videos will allow you to visually document the main similarities and differences between the original products and cheap crafts from China. Having a certain set of practical knowledge, you can also distinguish a fake VAZ oil filter from the original with your own hands by performing several preliminary tests. Rational purchasing instructions will allow you to choose the most suitable products based on your financial capabilities. The price depends in most cases directly on the quality, but sometimes on the country of origin.

Filter selection

Today the market is represented by a fairly impressive range of oil filters. Therefore, among all this diversity, it can be difficult to settle on one device.
