Oil for viburnum 8 valves factory recommendations

Many novice Lada Kalina car owners, as well as experienced motorists, want their car to serve them for as long as possible. "Kalina" is a relatively inexpensive and structurally simple car that does not require huge maintenance costs - especially when it comes to replacing consumables. For example, motor oil. Naturally, it is recommended to fill only with branded oil recommended by AvtoVAZ. Let's take a closer look at how to choose a truly high-quality oil for Lada Kalina.

Oil type

Lada Kalina engines support various types of oils - synthetic and semi-synthetic. The use of mineral oils is not recommended, according to the manufacturer's recommendations. Moreover, this is an instruction not only from AvtoVAZ, but also from the Association of Automobile Manufacturers.

For reference, we note that the need for mineral lubrication disappeared after more modern injection engines appeared, replacing carburetor engines. Experts have come to the conclusion that the “mineral water” does not have any special value, but only creates carbon deposits on the walls of the combustion chamber. But this is a recommendation for injectors, while older carburetors are still more optimized for mineral oil.

How to buy quality liquid?

When choosing a lubricant, it is necessary to avoid counterfeits. To purchase an original product, you should contact reliable retail outlets, monitor reviews, and order it online from the manufacturer. Beginning car owners and experienced car enthusiasts want the Lada Kalina to last longer. This is an inexpensive and simple model that does not require large maintenance costs, especially in terms of maintenance and consumables.

It is recommended to use exclusively the branded product specified by AvtoVAZ. Let's consider a method for choosing a quality lubricating product.

What fluid should I use for an eight-valve unit?

It is better to use synthetic and semi-synthetic fuels and lubricants for the engine. Mineral liquids should not be used. This condition is laid down by the local manufacturer and the association created by the car manufacturer.

What product should I put in Lada?

It is advisable to take into account the recommendations of the car manufacturer: the unit must be filled with liquids for gasoline units that correspond to SJ according to the international API classification. Viscosity is selected depending on climatic conditions.

How much engine oil is in Lada?

The lubrication system of the Lada Kalina unit contains 3.5 liters of engine oil, but after replacing it, 500 ml of old lubricating fluid remains, and 3 liters should be filled. After operating the unit for a short time, it is necessary to check the level and top up if necessary so that the level is between the marks.

Markings

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

How much oil to pour into the Lada Kalina engine

First generation 1118 (sedan), 2004-2013

The first to go on sale was the 1118 sedan, and in 2006, production of the 1119 hatchback began. In 2008, the 1117 station wagon became available. All three Kalina modifications had a similar front design and differed only in the design of the rear. It must be admitted that from a design point of view, Kalina was considered an advanced car in the AvtoVAZ lineup, which in the mid-2000s was still in full swing producing the Classic and Samara. Initially, the car was sold with a 1.6 gasoline engine (81 hp), and after some time a 98-horsepower 16-valve engine of the same volume appeared. Later, AvtoVAZ mastered the production of Kalina with an 89-horsepower 1.4-liter Euro-4 engine. In addition, the Lada Kalina Sport with a 98-horsepower engine, sports suspension, powerful brakes and aerodynamic body kits was also assembled in small quantities.

Second generation 2192 (hatchback), 2013-2018

The second generation Kalina existed only in hatchback and station wagon bodies. In addition, there was also a separate modification of the Kalina Cross, as well as a “charged” NFR hatchback with a 1.6-liter 140-horsepower engine. From a design point of view, the car has not changed much compared to its predecessor - the design of the front part has mainly changed: a new hood, darkened headlights, an original bumper and radiator grille.

The rear part of the body was also completely modified. This was enough for the car to be perceived in a new way. Moreover, Kalina received a completely new interior with a touchscreen multimedia system on the center console. Engines – petrol 1.6 (87, 98 and 106 hp). Gearboxes - manual gearbox-5, robotic 5-speed and 4-speed CVT.

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

Engine condition after using fuel and lubricants

When changing oil, you should refrain from using various additional additives - engine and transmission, since modern fuels and lubricants contain all the required components that allow all units and components of the vehicle to operate with maximum efficiency. Many car owners use ZIC A products for the engine and TNK Magnum for the gearbox. According to reviews, this combination is ideal for Kalina. Here is one review of their use: “Before the next replacement, I removed the valve cover to assess the condition of the camshaft. I was surprised by its perfect condition without soot. When filling and before draining, the level on the dipstick was the same. During operation, the engine did not make noise or vibrate. I was pleased. As for the gearbox, the TNK lubricant did not have much effect on extraneous noise, but gear shifting in the cold improved significantly.” Below is a photo of the engine from the author of this review. Judging by his comment, the car traveled 40 thousand km at one gas station.

Judging by the photo, it’s time to change the lubricant, but there are no deposits or deposits on the engine, the engine is clean. Some car owners try to buy this material in metal cans, since the likelihood of running into a fake in this case is lower. This article ends with a review from the same Lada Kalina owner, who ponders which transmission oil is best for Kalina, and which one makes sense to buy at the next replacement: “Next time I’ll try to fill in the Elf brand from Total. I've read a lot about it and haven't come across a single negative review. Photos of the engines confirm their excellent condition with a mileage of 300 thousand kilometers.”

The duration of uninterrupted operation of the power unit on the Lada Kalina with 8 valves depends on the use of the correct engine oil and its replacement in a timely manner. Today there is a problem with the spread of counterfeits that negatively affect the engine. Let's look at which oil is better to fill in the Lada Kalina 8 valve engine?

We have already dealt with engine oils for the Lada Kalina, now let’s look at transmission oils for gearboxes below

Choosing engine oil for Kalina

Good oil was poured here, the engine is like new

For the Lada Kalina engine, it is recommended to use semi-synthetic or synthetic oil. Mineral or semi-synthetic may be filled from the factory to break in the engine. In the future, the choice of oil rests entirely with the owner. The exact amount of oil in the engine varies depending on the type of transmission (automatic or manual).

For the 16-valve Lada Kalina, the manufacturer has prepared a table of recommended oils for use.

Liqui moly 5w-40 is not in the regulations, but is stubbornly pushed by dealers.

As can be seen from the table, there is a fairly wide selection and range of recommended oils specifically for 16 valves. Basically, these are satisfied well-known brands throughout the CIS.

To make a more accurate choice of engine oil, you should refer to the service and technical documents or find the corresponding tags under the hood of the car. The recommended SAE class and oil group are written on them.

Engine tuning

To improve the performance of the 11183 engine, several types of tuning can be used:

• modification of the intake manifold - grinding of internal channels, leveling their length or using individual receivers, installing a 54 mm damper, a zero-resistance filter;
• alteration of the exhaust gas exhaust system - manifold according to the 4/2/1 scheme, removal of the catalytic converter to a separate unit;
• replacing the camshaft - suitable modifications to the Nuzhdin or Dynamics shafts are used;
• cylinder head modernization – milling;
• installation of lightweight parts - T-shaped valves, pistons and connecting rods.
