Essence of the question: How much oil to fill in the Renault Logan engine?

Tell me, please, how much oil to fill in 8 valve engine, volume of 1.6 liters? Because they write different values ​​​​everywhere, I would like to know for sure !?

The following two tabs change content below.

I own a Renault Megan 2 car, before that there were Citroens and Peugeots. I work in the service area dealer center, so I know the device of the car "from and to". You can always turn to me for advice.

If you have recently become the proud owner of Renault Logan, then sooner or later you will think about the question of when to change the oil in the car. And here you can refer to the instruction manual for your car, or read this manual to the end.

Refueling volumes for 3 Renault Logan engines

As you know, Renault Logan was produced in three different engine options:

K7J- 1.4 liters with 8 valves.

K7M- 1.6 liters with 8 valves.

K4M- 1.6 liters with 16 valves.

Thus, for two types of engines with 8 valves, 3.4 liters oil, and for a 16-valve counterpart whole 4.8 liters. All this is due to the fact that the working volume of the “head” with 16 valves is much larger, and, consequently, the need for lubrication of all working elements and parts becomes higher. It's up to you, the 16-valve is more whimsical, but also more dynamic.

Engine oil selection

You can read about which oil is still better to fill in, learn more about oil filters and the procedure for changing oil for Renault Logan, in

Renault Logan 1.4 and 1.6 engines with a 16v system need timely replacement oil every 10,000 kilometers. Some Renault Logan car owners do not comply with these rules, which in turn leads to premature wear engine. To carry out right choice oils, find out how much you need to purchase for replacement, you should be guided by the Renault Logan special tolerance sheet. In this article we will talk about the procedure for changing the oil in 1.4 and 1.6 - 16v engines.

Selection procedure

The main criterion when buying oil for Renault engines is its viscosity. The use of a viscosity with a high index leads to a break in the oil film, especially in the cold season.

The volume of canisters varies from 1 to 5 liters, so you can easily get as many as you need for your car.

Of course, for new motors 1.4 and 1.6 - 16v can be used motor oil with lower viscosity. This is due to the fact that the gaps in the rubbing pairs of the new unit have minimum values, respectively, a more fluid lubricant can easily reach the place of increased load.

Also, you need to purchase a liquid that has a low viscosity coefficient for engines that have passed overhaul. As a rule, the mileage before the first replacement will be about 1 thousand kilometers, since this resource is considered a break-in.

But for engines 1.4 and 1.6 - 16v, which have passed about 100 thousand kilometers, engine oil must be filled in thicker, since the gaps between the rubbing parts are large. Accordingly, such a liquid will better protect the motor components and give a strong film in places of increased friction.

The purchase of motor fluid must be made in specialized stores that have certified goods. If you buy low-quality oils, you risk damaging the engine of your Renault Logan, which will lead to costly repairs to engine parts.

As a rule, experienced salesmen in large auto stores will tell you how much oil and which one is needed for your car. Usually an experienced owner knows what kind of oil is needed and how much to fill in his car.

There are special additives that significantly reduce friction and contribute to long-term operation of the motor at increased loads. Among them is molybdenum, which is supplied both separately and already in the canister. To know how much of this additive you need to fill in, you need to know the amount of fluid required for your engine.

Let's talk about the replacement procedure

Many Logan car owners decide to contact the service for such work related to changing engine fluid.

We recommend that you carry out the replacement yourself and control this process completely on your own. Such a process is not difficult, with the exception of some features that you need to know and observe during these works. To completely protect yourself, use tight clothing to avoid burns with hot liquid, since at the time of work, the Logan engine must be warmed up to operating temperature.

So, let's begin the procedures for replacing motor lubricant.

Stock up on rags, as this work is a very dirty process.

1. First you need to provide access to the car from below, for this you can use a car lift or a garage overpass.
2. Get close to the car and carry out the dismantling plastic protection crankcase. To do this, unscrew the three bolts in the front of the bumper, and then dismantle two more fasteners behind the protection. Pull the plastic shroud to the side rear axle, thus you dismantle this element.
3. The first step is to dismantle oil filter, since its channel is located in the uppermost part of the lubricating artery.
4. Use a special oil filter remover, if you don't have one, you can use sandpaper. Wrapping this element around its axis with sandpaper, unscrew it counterclockwise.

Another way to unscrew the oil filter is to use a regular screwdriver to pierce the filter element and use it as a lever. First you need to put a special container in order not to pour hot oil on it.

1. Lubricate the O-rings of the filter element and install it in place by hand-tightening.
2. Unscrew the drain plug in the engine crankcase, then drain the waste fluid into a separate container. Wait until all the liquid has drained, only then replace drain plug and an o-ring on it.

Attention! Take care of the disposal of used grease in advance.

1. Screw in the drain plug without pinching, otherwise the threads of the aluminum crankcase may be damaged.
2. Install the crankcase protection, having previously cleaned the part of excess dirt. Perform the installation procedure in the reverse order of its removal.
3. Open the Logan hood, then remove filler plug on the lid valve mechanism. After selecting the desired volume of the canister, fill in the liquid in the amount necessary.

If you do not know how much to fill in, use a special guide to allow fluid volumes for 1.6 and 1.4 - 16v motors.

1. To know how much you have already filled in, you need to use a special probe that is installed on the car. This dipstick is marked with marks that determine the required level of the volume of liquid to be filled.
2. Set the level to the maximum threshold of the dipstick, then run the engine for a few minutes. After running the engine for a short time, turn it off and, after waiting for a while, check the level in order to know how much to add.
3. Screw the filler cap into place, after which the work can be considered completed.

Follow the safety instructions to avoid injury.

Conclusion

Now you know not only what kind of oil and how much is needed for your pet, but also how to change it correctly with your own hands. Premature oil changes lead to best result, since the wear products of parts do not remain in the lubricating medium. Buy high-quality components that have a certificate of conformity and approval for your car. To protect yourself from low-quality lubricant products, purchase parts from large auto parts stores.

Follow the oil viscosity parameter according to the time of year, so you will extend the life of your car. Do not delay with timely conduct Maintenance and carry it out every 10 thousand kilometers.

After reading this article, you can use it as a manual for doing maintenance yourself.

Renault Logan in Russia they began to produce in 2005. The creators put the principle of simplicity and unpretentiousness in the basis of the model, which corresponds to the corporate concept of "strength and quality". And in many ways (if not all) the idea came to life. In 2010, the company offered the market an updated Logan

Renault Logan is sold only with a sedan body. The engine range includes engines of 1.4 (75 hp) and 1.6 liters (84 hp). Both are aggregated with a 5-speed “mechanics”, which has long and well established itself on the Clio and Kangoo models.

It's obvious that easier car, both in terms of design and execution, is hard enough to imagine today.

Renault Logan Manual

If the 1.4 engine is still rather weak, then the 1.6 eight-valve is enough for the eyes. Particularly pleased with his high-torque on the bottoms.
In fact, Logan has nothing to break under the hood. And yet, some troubles happen.

: 1 - radiator outlet hose; 2 - radiator inlet hose; 3 - additional resistor; 4 - fan; 5 - radiator; 6 - fan casing; 7 - thermostat housing; 8 - outlet pipe of the cylinder head; 9 - steam outlet hose; 10 - coolant temperature sensor; 11 - inlet hose of the heater radiator; 12 - air outlet fitting; 13 - outlet hose of the heater radiator; fourteen - expansion tank; 15 - inlet hose; 16 - inlet pipe of the coolant pump

Firstly, the gas pedal can suddenly stick in the winter cold. And not that she will remain on the floor - there is no such thing; but here the speed, especially after opening the throttle to the full, refuse to fall below 2-3 thousand rpm.

According to Renault servicemen, the accelerator most likely sticks either due to a badly lying mat, or due to the fact that the cable sheath is deformed into a strong minus. In the first case, it is recommended to change the mats, but in the second case, lubricate the cable. They say it helps ... Secondly, on a run of 10-15 thousand, the engine may start to fail - symptoms of "triple" appear. But when it reaches operating temperature, everything returns to normal. As a rule, the culprit is either the electrical connector of the position sensor crankshaft(contact repair is a quick and inexpensive procedure), or spark plugs. In fact, this is just a consequence. And the reason is low-quality gasoline.

However, candles are not so bad: at TO1 they are still changed without fail. Troubles and hangovers happen. For example, the "death" of the gland camshaft, which, by the way, can happen at almost any run.

At 30-40 thousand km, the pump is capable of delivering trouble. A characteristic whistle will be a sure signal that it is time to replace it. The cooling system pump is changed at this mileage under warranty along with a roller and two drive belts.

TransmissionRenault Logan

: 1 - shaft of the side gear of the differential; 2 - clutch housing; 3 - input shaft; 4 — mud-protective cover; 5 - gear shift mechanism; 6 — a plug of a drive of deenergizing of coupling; 7 - holder of wiring harnesses; 8 - bracket for the cable sheath of the clutch release drive; 9 - back cover; 10 - breather hose fitting; 11 - hole for the vehicle speed sensor; 12 - housing of the inner hinge of the left wheel drive; 13 - light switch reversing; 14 - gearbox housing; 15 - oil filler plug

On Renault Logan a very elderly 5-speed manual gearbox is installed. And this is just its significant plus: the box is very reliable, unpretentious and durable. Nevertheless, Logan owners now and then have operational questions. So, one of the popular complaints is a crunch when reverse gear is turned on. However, it should be remembered that the box of this machine is devoid of a synchronizer reverse gear. To eliminate an unpleasant sound when turned on, you need to squeeze the clutch and hold a short pause. That's all.

A more significant problem is the noise of the gearbox, especially in a warm state, after 50-100 km of run. You can evaluate it by squeezing and releasing the clutch several times. In general, except for discomfort, the noise is not fraught with anything. According to Renault specialists, it is possible to cope with it for a while by changing the oil in the gearbox. For the sake of objectivity, we note that there were cases warranty repair boxes.
In addition, service statistics are familiar with the facts of premature failure release bearing. However, we emphasize that this is the exception rather than the rule.

The clutch is guaranteed to take care of more than 100 thousand kilometers and is changed as an assembly.

: 1 - subframe; 2 — suspension arm with silent blocks and ball joint; 3 - rounded fist with hub and bearing; 4 - shock absorber; 5 - stabilizer bar roll stability

: 1 - bracket for attaching the beam lever to the body; 2 - beam; 3 - lever bracket; 4 - beam lever; 5 - shock absorber; 6 - compression stroke buffer; 7 - pillows and washers of the upper attachment of the shock absorber to the body; 8 — a bolt of fastening of the shock-absorber to the lever; 9 - lower spring gasket; 10 - spring; 11 - upper spring gasket; 12 - rear wheel brake mechanism: 13 - rear wheel trunnion; 14 - brake drum assembly with rear wheel bearing; 15 - cap; 16 - wheel bearing nut; 17 — silent block beam lever; 18 — a bolt and a nut of fastening of the lever of a beam to an arm

In general, neither suspension nor steering, nor brake system no serious objections. But, as with other Renault Logan nodes, there is always a place for little things. The bearings of the front hubs should not be recognized as the strongest link: quite often they have to be changed already at 30 thousand kilometers.

With power steering: 1 - wheel: 2 - steering column: 3 - left knuckle assembly with hub; 4 - left tie rod end; 5 - intermediate shaft; 6 - bolts for fastening the crankcase of the steering gear to the subframe; 7 - steering gear housing; 8 - drain line of the hydraulic booster; 9 - hydraulic booster reservoir; 10 - filling line of the hydraulic booster; 11 - pressure line of the hydraulic booster; 12 - power steering fluid pressure sensor; 13 - hydraulic booster pump; 14 - subframe; 15 - right tie rod end; 16 - right steering knuckle assembly with hub

Cases of complaints about shock absorbers were also noted - a warranty replacement reassured the owners. Less often, by 50 thousand kilometers, they can knock ball joints. Here a lot depends on the operating conditions and driving style.

Problems with steering, as a rule, are limited to the replacement of steering tips for 50-60 thousand km. Otherwise, both the mechanism itself and the hydraulic booster serve faithfully.

The braking system works quite reliably, but the "frog" of turning on the brake lights regularly spoils the mood. Often it has to be adjusted at almost every MOT. Agree, though a trifle, but rather unpleasant.
As for brake pads, then the service life of the front ones can vary from 25 to 40 thousand kilometers, depending on the driving style. Discs are usually changed with every second pad change. Life time rear pads and drums twice as long as those of
front.

Body and interior

There are several complaints here. First, quality paintwork leaves much to be desired. However, let's be fair: today it is a common problem, and not just Renault.

Secondly, poor ventilation of the cabin. Complaints that in bad weather it is necessary to lower the windows almost completely for the sake of elementary visibility are by no means uncommon. In winter, there were cases when the sealant froze to the door, torn when opened, after which it began to siphon in the cabin.

The original wiper blades are of very poor quality. Often they have to be replaced even before the first MOT.
Finally, according to statistics, a lot of complaints are caused by the noisy operation of the air conditioner.

Renault Logan 1.4 is a popular car with taxi drivers. The first versions of Logan are now in steady demand for secondary market. It is this fact that confirms that the machine is quite reliable and unpretentious in use. Of course, there are many nuances inherent in budget models, but general impression from Renault Logan - purely positive. The same can be said about the possibility self service, but even experienced motorists may have questions here. For example, one of the most common procedures Renault repair Logan can be distinguished by changing the oil in the engine. But a much more difficult task is the choice of the oil itself, how much to fill in, and how to choose the right one based on the best parameters and brands. In this article, we will highlight the best engine oils using the Renault Logan with a 1.4-liter engine as an example.

When to add new oil

At first glance, the answer to this question can be obtained by looking at the desired item in the instructions for operating Renault logan. Official oil change policy for this car set at around 15 thousand kilometers. But on the other hand, an oil change may come earlier if the car is operated in difficult harsh conditions. For example, if the car often moves on broken roads, in light off-road conditions, under the influence of low temperatures, etc. In this case, the replacement schedule is reduced to 10 thousand kilometers. This is quite the optimal indicator at which the engine oil does not have time to lose its beneficial features. If Russian owners follow only official data (we are talking about 15 thousand km), then there may be problems with the reliability of the internal combustion engine.

How to know when it's time to change the oil

In addition to the official regulations, you can understand the need for an oil change by the following signs:

• oil smells burnt
• oil is dark brown
• oil contains metal shavings
• transmissions are delayed
• high fuel consumption
• the engine is not able to develop maximum speed
• high level of noise and vibrations coming from the internal combustion engine and gearbox

How much oil to fill

The volume of grease to be filled depends on the working displacement power plant. In our case, we are talking about the base 1.4-liter 8-valve Renault Logan modification. For such a car, it is preferable to fill in 3.3 liters of liquid. Therefore, it will be beneficial to purchase a 4-liter canister. The remaining oil can be added gradually every 600-700 kilometers.

The choice of oil by type, parameters and brands

Especially for Renault Logan, Renault has provided several types of original lubricants. There are three types:

• Synthetic - the most fluid and liquid oil, very resistant to low temperatures. Such a lubricant composition is best suited for Renault Logan with low mileage. The replacement schedule for such an oil is the longest, which is one of the key advantages. In addition, with such oil, fuel consumption is lower, engine power is higher and cooling of internal combustion engine components is better.
• Mineral - the thickest oil, extremely unsuitable for modern machines. It can be poured only as a last resort - for example, when high mileage or lack of funds for at least semi-synthetic oil.
• Semi-synthetic oil is an economical option for those who do not want to spend money on expensive synthetics, and at the same time prefer a more modern product than a cheap mineral water.

We can conclude that for Renault Logan with a 1.4-liter engine best oil will be synthetic or semi-synthetic.

In addition, viscosity characteristics also affect the choice of oil. So, especially for Logan, you need to select the viscosity parameters 5W-40 and 5W-30. original oil for Renault Logan - Elf Evolution SXR. Alternatively, you can choose an equally high-quality analogue, but only among brands with a good reputation. Of these, Castrol, Mobile, Rosneft, Lukoil, ZIK and others can be distinguished.

Each unit, whether it is an engine, gearbox or power steering requires constant monitoring of lubrication. And for each node there is a certain minimum and maximum limit for the amount of oil, water, cooling or brake fluid.

Below, each of the components and assemblies of the Renault Logan car will be considered separately.

How much oil to fill in a Renault Logan engine

Since on Renault cars Logan installed different types of engines, then the filling volumes for each of them will be different:

1. For 1.6 and 1.4 8-valve - 3.3 liters
2. For 1.6 16-valve - 4.9 liters

How much oil to fill in at the checkpoint Renault Logan

Since the gearboxes on all the cars did not differ, that is, they were the same on both 8 and 16 valve motors, then the filling volumes will be identical.

Required level for gearbox housing transmission oil should be about 3.1 liters. It is impossible to check the level on the dipstick due to its absence. But there is another way - unscrew the filler plug and the oil should be at the bottom edge. That is, it is simply impossible to fill above the level in this case - all the excess will flow out through the filler hole.

How much antifreeze or antifreeze can the engine cooling system hold

The liquid level in the cooling system must be monitored first of all! If the antifreeze leaves, and you don’t notice it during this, you can overheat the engine with all the ensuing consequences. Therefore, do not be lazy to open the hood once again and make sure that the required level of antifreeze is in the expansion tank.

It must be between the minimum and maximum marks. You can clearly see the approximate coolant level in the photo below.

As for the entire Renault Logan cooling system, it holds about 5.45 liters of coolant. Topping up should be done only with the recommended type of coolant for your car, as well as taking into account the already filled liquid.

How much brake fluid is in the system

If the brake fluid level is insufficient, braking efficiency may be reduced, since air in the system cannot be ruled out. At hard pressing on the brake pedal (in cases with emergency braking) the liquid level in the tank drops sharply, and in the absence of the required volume, the wheels of the car cannot be blocked properly.

That is why the level should always be at the maximum mark.

How much gasoline is in the fuel tank

The Renault Logan gas tank holds 50 liters of fuel. When the lamp of insufficient fuel level in the tank lights up, the remaining gasoline is about 6-7 liters.
