VAZ auto filters

Design and principle of operation

The engine of any car, including the Lada Vesta, consists of many moving, rubbing parts and mechanisms. Operating at high temperatures increases friction and accelerates wear.

Motor oil removes excess heat and cleans surfaces of waste products. Subsequently, the filter, passing the oil through the filler, cleans the liquid. This process is continuous until the power unit stops.

Metal base

The cleaning element of Lada Vesta is similar to filters from other brands - a metal base with paper filling inside.

Components:

• outer metal shell. The shape is very diverse, but more often in the form of a multifaceted glass;
• a filter element made of accordion-folded paper is impregnated with a special substance;
• pressure spring;
• bypass, check valves;
• exhaust channels;
• rubber compressor.

Step-by-step process for replacing Vesta engine fluid

We mean that changing the oil in the engine of a modern domestic Lada Vesta car begins with dismantling the plastic that covers the engine.

Next, remove the cover of the so-called neck where the oil is poured, and dismantle the plastic shield located at the bottom of the motor, thus protecting it from dust and dirt. This shield is fastened with 13 ordinary bolts, which have 10 heads.

The next step is to clean the oil pan, exactly where the plug from the drain neck is located; also, using a regular hexagon 8, we unscrew the plug itself.

We remind you that before these manipulations you should place some convenient unnecessary container, for example a basin, under the special drain neck, because it is from there that the used oil will be drained. Let us add that you also need to be careful in this matter, because the oil is quite hot and if it gets on your skin, it can cause burns.

It is necessary to drain the engine fluid until it stops dripping from the specialized drain hole. After that, use a piece of clean cloth to wipe off the dirt that has accumulated on the plug and screw it into its rightful place. Plus, do not forget to remove any oil stains that have formed from the surface of the crankcase.

Already at the next stage of replacement, it is necessary to install an unnecessary container for used motor fluid where the oil filter is located, because when the oil is changed in the car, it is obvious that replacing the filter is mandatory. To replace the filter we have designated, you need to disconnect the wiring harness coming from it from the crankshaft sensor, and carefully move it aside so as not to damage it in any way.

It is not necessary to remove the sensor itself at all, but in this case you will have limited space to work, therefore, if you are uncomfortable, then you will have to remove the above mentioned sensor.

To remove the sensor, use a 10mm wrench. Take a pre-prepared chain puller and use it to loosen the filter. After which it can be easily unscrewed and thus removed.

Then we take a new oil filter and carefully pour fresh oil into it, approximately 50 percent of its capacity. You should also carefully lubricate the o-ring of the filter itself with fresh oil and screw it into place, but remember that before installing the new oil filter, its seat must be cleaned of dust and dirt.

Then, when the new oil filter is correctly installed, it must be tightened until the cylinder block directly contacts the so-called sealing ring located on the filter, and then turn another 75 percent of a turn. And after this the oil is filled. And here a logical question arises: how much oil to pour into the car engine? We answer, for the domestic car LADA Vesta, the optimal oil level directly for filling is 4.4 liters.

We also add that not all car owners have a chain puller, and therefore, if you don’t have one, you can use the following method: drive a screwdriver into the old used filter and directly use it as a kind of lever for unscrewing the filter. The most important thing here is not to damage the engine fitting in any way. In addition, remember that the engine in this car with AMT has a slightly smaller volume of motor fluid. How much oil should I pour into the engine in this case? 3.2 liters.

When to change

In accordance with the manufacturer's regulations, scheduled replacement is every 14,000 km, not including the first maintenance at around 3,000 km.

The box describes the models for which the part is suitable.

In practice, few owners adhere to the specified interval. Reasons for this:

• climatic conditions;
• increased dustiness;
• gas pollution;
• low quality of fuel, motor fluid, and the cleaner itself.

The average interval is 10 – 12 thousand km. The recommendation is for informational purposes only and is not a mandatory norm. If you love your car, you will still listen to the opinion of professionals.

Signs that replacement is needed

• an indicator on the dashboard indicates a malfunction in the engine;
• a mechanical sensor, if present, shows pressure below normal;
• The metal body of the purifier is damaged or deformed. Depressurization or fluid leakage has occurred;
• the scheduled replacement date has arrived;
• individual decision of the car owner about replacement.

Factors affecting replacement time

• quality of motor oil, its class, viscosity coefficient, API marking;
• driving style;
• temperature conditions of use;
• tightness of the cooling system, integrity of the cylinder head gasket;
• quality of manufacture of the purifier.

Step-by-step change process

To install a new MF, you must perform the following steps:

1. Secure the rear wheels with wheel chocks for safety purposes;
2. Warm up the car engine to operating temperature and turn it off;
3. Remove the metal protection from under the bottom of the car, unscrew thirteen screws along the car perimeter;
4. Clean the bottom plate from dirt and oil;
5. Unscrew the drain plug using an "8" hexagon, drain the waste oil into a prepared container (4 liters in total for manual transmissions and 3 liters for automatic transmissions), screw in the plug;
6. Using a chain puller, twist the cleaner, wipe the perimeter from oil and dirt;
7. Pour 120 milliliters of oil into the new MF, put the cleaner in the place where it was;
8. Tighten gently, with moderation;
9. Pour oil into the part of the filler neck of the valve cover, depending on the type of gearbox (the quantity indicated above);
10. Start the engine and look at the dashboard indicator (there should be no symbols).

Note! At the end, be sure to check if there are any smudges or lubricant leaks. Carry out a control measurement of the oil level.

Step-by-step replacement process

Preparatory stage, necessary tools:

• chain puller - key;
• head at “10”;
• hexagons on “8”, “17”;
• new oil purifier;
• rags;
• empty container for draining waste;
• synthetic based motor oil;
• additional lighting if daylight is not enough.

Replacement algorithm

1. We install the car within the perimeter of the repair area, provide safety measures, and secure the rear row of wheels with wheel chocks.
2. Warm up the engine to operating temperature and turn it off.
3. We remove the metal protection from under the bottom and unscrew the 13 screws around the perimeter. Subsequently, we clean the plate from dirt and waste products.
4. Unscrew the drain plug with an “8” hexagon and grind the waste oil into a container. Only 4.4 liters for manual transmission and 3.8 liters for automatic transmission. Screw the plug.
5. Using a chain puller, twist the cleaner and wipe the perimeter from oil and dirt.
6. Pour 100 - 150 ml of oil into the new filter and install the cleaner in its original place. Tighten moderately, without excess.
7. Fill the filler neck of the valve cover with oil at a level of 4.4 or 3.8 liters, depending on the type of pre-installed gearbox.
8. We start the engine, the indicator on the dashboard should go out.
9. We check for drips and lubricant leaks. We make a control measurement of the level.

↑ When should the filter be changed?

According to the manufacturer's recommendations, the oil in the Lada Vesta car engine must be changed after 15,000 km. The oil filter is a consumable item, and a conscientious car owner always replaces it at the same time as the oil. But if we take into account Russian climatic conditions, as well as increased use due to the long length of roads, and the quality of gasoline produced in Russia, it is desirable to reduce the frequency of oil changes to 10,000 km. This is also done due to the large number of counterfeit motor oils on the Russian market, which significantly affects engine wear.

Also, in the cold season, it takes a long time to warm up the car to operating temperature, as a result of which the mileage does not change and the engine life is reduced.

Review of producer prices. Oil filter article number Lada Vesta

*prices are as of 02/01/2019.

What do the symbols and markings mean?

The first four digits determine the brand (model) of the technical product. The last two characters are the manufacturer's markings.

Brief characteristics of filters

• Mann W914/2: German manufacturer, one of the main suppliers of consumables for Lada, VAZ. Good quality, affordable price, wide range for different models, but a large number of fakes;
• FRAMPH5822: Product of Sogefi Aftermarket. The cleaning element inside the structure is located in the form of an accordion, which improves cleaning and increases throughput. If there is insufficient pressure in the system, the warning indicator on the dashboard lights up;
• NF-1005: domestic. Not a bad budget option. There are no particular advantages or disadvantages.

For Lada Vesta 1.8 and Lada Vesta 1.6, the filters are identical in size and parameters. The engine displacement configuration has no effect on the design of the oil purifier.

What kind of oil filter is on the Lada Vesta: the factory (original) filter is of poor quality, does not hold pressure well, depressurization and oil leakage often occur. Many car enthusiasts install foreign analogues instead of the standard one.

Technical specifications:

• diameter (external / internal): 93 / 62 mm;
• pressure when opening the intake valve: 1.2 bar;
• thread diameter: 16 inches or ¾.

Consumable service life

According to the regulations from the manufacturer, the consumable will serve until the car reaches 14 thousand kilometers traveled. It will also serve up to 3 thousand kilometers during the first maintenance. In practice, the service life of a consumable is reduced by half due to climatic conditions, increased dust, gas contamination, low quality fuel, motor fluid and cleaner.

It is worth pointing out that the service life of a consumable directly depends on the quality of the engine oil, its viscosity coefficient and standard labeling. It also depends on the driving style of the motorist, the temperature conditions of the car, the tightness of the cooling system, the integrity of the cylinder head gasket and the quality of the cleaner.

Recommendations for selection

Purchase consumables exclusively for the brand of your car. Use the services of official sales points, representative offices, dealer centers.

Check integrity, tightness, absence of defects and damage. The deeper the warehouses, the better the cleaning. The base of the cleaner must be metal. Various analogues and substitutes are unacceptable.

Carefully check the catalog numbers, date, and batch number on the packaging.

Conclusion

Individual standards for oil, filter, and other consumables have been developed for each technical product. The purchase of original components guarantees long-term and trouble-free operation of the machine. Saving on maintenance entails negative consequences, including major repairs.

The process of replacing the oil filter is simple. If you have tools and consumables, prevention will take no more than 15 minutes. You should contact the service center only in case of emergency or major breakdown.

Replacing the oil filter on Lada Vesta

The process consists of the following steps:

• installing the machine above the inspection channel;
• unscrewing the filler plug;
• dismantling the metal protection of the oil pan;
• drain the engine oil into a prepared empty container;
• unscrew the MF with a special key - a puller;
• installation of a new purifier;
• installation of metal protection for the oil pan;
• pouring engine oil into the filler neck (3.0 liters);
• closing the hood;
• starting the power unit;
• checking the oil level in the internal combustion engine.

This completes the process of replacing the MF with your own hands. Scheduled maintenance after 10 - 15 thousand km. If you use synthetic-based motor oil, the replacement life can be increased by several thousand.

Necessary materials, tools: puller, 14-point head, container for draining waste, rags. Before changing the engine oil, warm up the engine for several minutes.

Access to the MF is from under the bottom of the vehicle, as well as through the top of the engine compartment. Choose the most appropriate option for prevention and diagnosis. At the same time, check the condition of the fuel cleaner, install a new one as necessary.

Do not touch the oil filter with bare hands, as there is a high risk of burns and skin damage. Use special gloves and an oil wrench.

Changing the oil and oil filter on Lada Vesta cars

The oil filter performs a very important function while the car engine is running, so it is highly recommended not to leave it unattended for a long time. The performance of your car’s engine, as well as its other main components, depends on the timely replacement of this filter. Typically, car owners change the oil filter during an oil change, so to speak, killing two birds with one stone. This approach is truly correct and should be followed by all car enthusiasts. Most often, the oil filter and oil are replaced during the next technical service at an official dealer, but car owners who, for any reason, refused the services of their dealer are forced to carry out vehicle maintenance on their own. To change the oil and oil filter in a Lada Vesta, you need to acquire the following components:

1. Oil filter (article number - 21080101200582) 2. Crankcase drain plug (article number - 153520001) 3. Engine oil (you can find out which oil is suitable for your car in this article) 4. Oil filter puller

You need to start work by draining the used oil from the crankcase; to do this, you need to remove the engine compartment shield that protects from dirt, which is held on by 13 bolts with a 10 head. Afterwards, we unscrew the crankcase drain plug, the oil will flow out immediately after you completely unscrew the plug, so prepare a container and place it directly under the plug.

In most cases, the cork breaks and it is no longer possible to reuse it, which is why it is necessary to stock up on a replacement.

Unfortunately for owners of the Lada Vesta, the oil filter is located in an extremely inconvenient position, so you will have to get pretty creative to gain access to it. Access to replace the filter can be obtained both from above (from the engine compartment) and from below.

The oil filter in the Lada Vesta car is located slightly higher and slightly to the left of the engine (see photo above). If your package includes a decorative trim that covers the engine, remove it, this way you will gain access to the filter. If you are replacing the oil filter on your car for the first time, there is a high probability that you simply will not be able to unscrew it from the engine compartment, regardless of whether you use a special oil filter puller or not. In this case, you will have to approach the filter from below.

After removing the oil filter, prepare to replace it. The working area of ​​the new filter must be generously lubricated with engine oil; it is possible to put the new filter in place both from above and from below without unnecessary difficulties.

If you were unable to unscrew the oil filter from the engine compartment, you will have to move the work directly under the car; again, you need to unscrew the engine protection and only then you will be able to gain access to the oil filter. Subsequent replacement of oil filters will be possible directly from the engine compartment.
