With the onset of frost, many car owners are interested in the question of what kind of oil to fill in the VAZ engine for the winter. For different regions of our country, oils labeled 10W-40, 0W-30, 5W30 or 5W-40 are used. Each of them has different viscosity characteristics and minimum operating temperature. So, oil marked 0W can be operated at a minimum temperature of -35°C, 5W - at -30°C, and 10W - up to -25°C, respectively. The choice also depends on the type basic foundation oils. Since mineral lubricants have a high freezing point, they are not used. Instead, synthetic or, in extreme cases, semi-synthetic oils are used. This is due to the fact that they are more modern and have high performance characteristics.

What oil to choose for the winter

Oil viscosity comparison

The main parameter that allows you to answer the question of which oil is better to fill in a VAZ engine for the winter is viscosity according to the SAE standard. According to this document, there are eight winter (from 0W to 25W) and 9 summer. Everything is simple here. From the first number in the winter oil label preceding the letter W (the letter stands for abbreviated English word Winter - winter) you need to subtract the number 35, as a result of which you will get the negative temperature value in degrees Celsius. Based on this, it is impossible to say for sure which oil is better than 0W30, 5W30 or some other in winter. To do this, you need to carry out the appropriate calculations, and find out the lower permissible temperature for their operation. For example, 0W30 oil is suitable for more northern regions, where the temperature drops to -35 ° C in winter, and 5W30, respectively, to -30 ° C. Summer characteristic they have the same (characterized by the number 30), so in this context it is unimportant. Occasionally, motor oils can be found on sale, in which the characteristics, in particular, viscosity, are indicated in accordance with GOST 17479.1-2015. There are similarly four classes of winter oils. So, the winter indices of the specified GOST correspond to the following SAE standards: 3 - 5W, 4 - 10W, 5 - 15W, 6 - 20W.

If your region has a very large temperature difference in winter and summer, then you can use two different oils with different viscosities (preferably from the same manufacturer). If the difference is small, then it is quite possible to get by with universal all-weather oil.

However, when choosing one or another oil, one should not be guided only by low-temperature viscosity. There are other sections in the SAE standard that describe the characteristics of oils. The oil you choose must necessarily meet, in all parameters and standards, the requirements that the manufacturer of your car imposes on it. You will find the relevant information in the documentation or manual for the VAZ car.

If you plan to travel or move to a colder region of the country in winter or autumn, then be sure to consider this when choosing engine oil.

Which oil is better for winter synthetics or semi-synthetics

The question of which oil is better - synthetic or semi-synthetic is relevant at any time of the year. However, as regards the negative temperature, the low-temperature viscosity mentioned above is much more important in this context. As for the type of oil, the reasoning is true that "synthetics" better protect the parts of the VAZ 2110 engine at any time of the year. And considering that after long periods of downtime, their geometric dimensions change (albeit not much), then protection for them during start-up is extremely important. Based on the above, the following conclusion can be drawn. The first thing you should pay attention to is the low temperature viscosity value. The second is the recommendations of the manufacturer of your car. Thirdly, if you have a modern expensive foreign car with a new (or recently refurbished) engine, then it makes sense to use synthetic oil. If you are the owner of a medium or budget car, and do not want to overpay, then “semi-synthetics” is quite suitable for you. As for mineral oil, it is not recommended to use it, because in severe frosts it thickens very much and does not protect the engine from damage and / or wear.

Engine oil for the winter which is better for gasoline engines

Now let's look at the TOP 5 oils for gasoline engines popular among domestic motorists (although some of them are universal, that is, they can be filled in diesel engines). The ranking was based on performance characteristics especially frost resistance. Naturally, there is a huge variety of lubricants on the market today, so the list can be expanded many times over. If you have your own opinion on this matter, please share it in the comments.

Also, when choosing an oil, you need to pay attention to the following nuance. As the engine wears out (its mileage increases), the gaps between its individual parts increase. And this leads to the fact that it becomes necessary to use a thicker oil (for example, 5W instead of 0W). Otherwise, the oil will not perform its functions and protect the engine from wear. However, when assessing, it is necessary to take into account not only the mileage itself, but also the condition of the engine (it is clear that it depends on the operating conditions of the car, the driver’s driving style, and so on).

What kind of oil to fill in a diesel engine in winter

For diesel engines, all the arguments described above are also valid. First of all, it is necessary to focus on the value of low-temperature viscosity and the recommendations of the manufacturer. However, it is better not to use multigrade oil for diesel engines. The fact is that such engines need more protection from the lubricant, and the latter "gets old" much faster. Therefore, selection for viscosity and other characteristics (in particular, the standards and tolerances of the automaker) is more critical for them.

On some vehicles, the oil dipstick is stamped with the value of the oil used in the engine.

So, according to the SAE standard for diesel engines, everything is the same gasoline engines. That is, then winter oil it is necessary to choose according to viscosity, in this case, low-temperature. In accordance with technical specifications and reviews of car owners of cars with diesel engines good option for the winter the following brands of motor oils.

It must also be remembered that most commercially available motor oils are universal, that is, those that can be used in both gasoline and diesel engines. Therefore, when buying, first of all, you need to pay attention to the characteristics indicated on the canister, while knowing the tolerances and requirements of the manufacturer of your car. Conclusion. The two main factors on the basis of which you should choose one or another oil for gasoline or diesel engines in winter period- the requirements of the automaker, as well as low-temperature viscosity. And it, in turn, must be taken into account on the basis of the climatic conditions of residence, in particular, how low the temperature drops in winter. And of course, do not forget about tolerances. If the selected oil meets all the listed parameters, you can safely buy it. As for a specific manufacturer, it is impossible to give specific recommendations. At present, most of the world's popular brands produce products of approximately the same quality and meet the same standards. Therefore, it comes to the fore price policy and marketing. If you do not want to overpay, then on the market you can easily find a decent trademark, under which oil of quite acceptable quality is sold.

Everyone good day! Recently, on the roads of our city, and not only, a huge number of VAZ 2114 (LADA 2114) cars have "divorced". And despite the fact that the model originates back in the distant 80s (and these are the first VAZ 2109), car owners still have a lot of questions about the operation and maintenance of this car model. That is why in this article I will try to answer the question: What kind of oil to fill in the VAZ 2114 engine?"

Engine oil for VAZ 2114

Fortunately, now is not the 90s, when getting oil for cars was a great happiness and good luck. Now there are a huge number of stores where you can buy engine oil for VAZ 2114 for every taste and color. But in spite of this, choice of oil for VAZ 2114 remains a big problem for many car owners. But in fact, everything is very simple!

To select the oil in the VAZ 2114 engine, it is enough to understand that there are much more suitable motor oils in a huge range of engine oils. In fact, the VAZ 2114 engine is very simple in terms of design, therefore, there are no special requirements for the quality of the oil. Below is a summary table with the oils recommended by AvtoVAZ for the VAZ 2114 engine. Looking at this table, you can easily understand which oil is suitable for the VAZ 2114.

These are only recommended by AvtoVAZ oils for VAZ 2114. Now let's get down to specifics. As you may have noticed, the table has a very large range of recommended viscosities - from 0W-40 to 20W-50. Oil approval for VAZ 2114 - SJ / CF. This is a fairly old admission. There are fewer and fewer oils with a similar class. Remember, I said that the VAZ 2114 originates back in the 80s? So since that time, the requirements for oil have not even changed. Although most motor oils now have an API class already SN. I think you catch the train of thought? You can safely go to the oil store and choose from eyes closed from the range of motor oils any. And with a probability of 80% it will fit. But let's not go to extremes and try to systematize choice of oil for VAZ 2114.

What oil is better for VAZ 2114?

This is probably the most difficult question to be answered. Since it doesn't happen best oils. There are oils High Quality and low, as well as suitable and not. Accordingly, we will try to answer the question - "Which oil is better for VAZ 2114?"

If a customer has a question "What oil is better to fill in a VAZ 2114?", then we always recommend oils with a viscosity of 5W-40 and an API grade of at least SL. Usually this is or . These oils are excellent for year-round use, they perform well under low temperatures and contain a balanced package of additives. This is very important for our Siberian climate. In addition, these oils are the "golden mean" in terms of price and quality.

If we approach the issue from a financial point of view, then VAZ 2114 engine oil can be divided according to the price range in rubles per 4 liters:

From 500 to 1000 rubles.
- from 1000 to 1500 rubles.
- from 1500 to 2000 rubles.
- from 2000 rubles and more.

The first group includes oils of the brand Lukoil, Rosneft, G-Energy and others domestic oils. These are the most budget oils for VAZ 2114. This is usually either mineral oil or semi-synthetic. This is the most undesirable choice, but if finances are running out, and the time for an oil change has already come, then you should choose oils from this group. As the saying goes, some oil is better than no oil.
and others. These are one of the most personalized brands suitable for the VAZ 2114.
The fourth group of oils is already premium oils. The price of more than 2000 rubles for a canister of oil suggests that the owner of the VAZ 2114 absolutely does not spare money for the car. But in reality, this is just a waste of money, although if it is easier for the buyer, then so be it. This includes oils such as Motul and.

That's actually all!

Motor oils are diverse, their parameters and efficiency vary significantly, and the characteristics depend on the production method, additives, feedstock. If you determine which winter oil is better to fill in the VAZ 2107 engine, then especially in Russia, where the frost resistance of the oil is paramount, you need to pay attention to this first of all. Well, in addition, reviews will help right choice, and this is a guarantee of long and trouble-free operation of the machine.

CRITERIA FOR OIL SELECTION

Synthetic oils are considered the best, with artificial additives, for example, removing deposits, protecting metal from destruction, and binding sulfur oxides. "Synthetics" have high fluidity, therefore, minimal resistance and friction in blocks, nodes.

But they are not suitable for old cars, for example, winter oil for a VAZ 2107 with a worn out “engine” should not be synthetic, since it cannot give normal pressure on a warm engine.

Old models require a lubricant of a uniform and constant consistency that does not change in cold weather (up to -40 degrees). For example, Shell oil will provide a reliable start, a small load on the starter (battery) of a car, and will reduce the wear of working parts “at times” at sub-zero temperatures.

The cleanliness of the exhaust is also important, the lubricant should have a positive effect on it and “keep it in Euro standards”. When choosing the best winter motor oil, do not forget about its ability to clean deposits. Ratings for this parameter often include Castrol (British Petroleum) products, which form a viscous protective film in places of strong friction (in other places - liquid). It is recommended in passenger cars, commercial vehicles with any engines, in particular, the oil is certified for VAZ cars.

It is believed that the best thing for these machines is a winter synthetic motor type 5W40 or 5W30 to the full extent provides winter stability - the ability not to change the consistency in severe frost, therefore, to ensure easy starting of the engine. It is suitable for use in most of Russia.

If you change the oil yourself, then please note that the oil sold at Russian branded gas stations (LUKOIL, TNK, Rosneft, etc.) should not be fake and sometimes cheaper.

MARKING OF WINTER OILS

Winter oils are marked by viscosity. It contains a lot of information, it is important to choose the optimal viscosity value for the temperature range of use. When choosing oil by marking, you need to know:

• 0W30 - minimum viscosity (practically does not react to low temperatures, too liquid in the working process, insufficiently lubricating);
• 5W30 - sufficient viscosity (temperature resistant);
• 10W30 - for moderately cold regions;
• 10W40 - universal (summer-winter) oil.

Marking 10w40 is a universal oil, the most "running" among semi-synthetic. It is cheaper and contains both artificial and natural, petroleum-derived components. Recommended for:

• old cars with an inefficient lubrication pump;
• worn out engines;
• commercial vehicles with extended service life;
• low powered diesels.

Such oils are popular in Russia. For example, "semi-synthetics" MobilUltra significantly reduces friction even at very low external temperatures, increasing not only the resource, but also the likelihood of a "cold start" of the motor.

Determining which winter oil is better than 5w30 or 5w40 is not an easy task, prices should be taken into account, they may fluctuate somewhat, as well as quality after prolonged use in winter. If the car “hibernates” in an open place, we choose the lubricant especially carefully. It makes sense in the winter to "keep the marking" 5W30, "middle" suitable options.

Good all-season option "LUKOIL" Suite. It has a lot of useful protective and detergent additives and is recognized as an equal competitor imported oils. The lubricant is excellent for commercial small-sized equipment, even heavily loaded ones.

Many are interested in which winter oil is preferable to fill in the VAZ 2107 engine. Here, for all the unpretentiousness of the “engine”, we take into account the moderate viscosity, which allows us to increase its resource, “cold start”, rather Shell and ZIC are in the lead.

It is dangerous to fill in mineral grease: in the morning, in frost, the car may not start without warming up or squeeze out the filter. Choosing the right oil parameters for winter operation, you will not solve this problem.

OUTPUT

For myself, I have decided and use LUKOIL Lux, in winter - 5w30 and in summer 10w40. I always buy at a gas station while having discounts and protection against fakes. According to some reports, oil, like vodka, is poured into canisters from one barrel.

In order not to have problems starting the engine in winter, when buying lubricant, you need to follow a few rules, use a reliable manufacturer: Castrol, Shell, ZIC, Mobil, Lukoil. Comply with the labeling and climatic conditions of your place of residence. Do not purchase very cheap grease, chances are high that it is a fake. Japanese oils have also become popular. The range is wide, there are several dozen suitable options. Do not choose oil for winter work, not only by cost.

We choose oil in the engine from AvtoVAZ in Russia.

Step one- understand the rules SAE J300 :

We determine the boundaries for viscosity and oil film thickness (high-temperature viscosity at high speed HTHS shift - High-Shear-Rate-Viscosity column)
for motor oils:

Then with negative and positive temperatures. Here is a screenshot from the manual.

That is, if you want to ensure confident start-up and operation of the engine without damage to the latter, then:

At -30 (start up to -35 is possible) choose oil 0w-40.
At -25 (start up to -30 is possible) choose oil 5w-40.
At -20 (it is possible to start up to -25) choose oil 10w-40.

More precisely, you need to look at the freezing point of a particular oil (We look at the parameter Pour Point, C and subtract 7 — 10 gr. from the specified temperature and get the approximate pumping temperature).

There is nothing wrong if you pour oil from the same manufacturer in winter with a viscosity in winter 0w-40, in the summer 5w-40 (5w-40 winter, 10w-40 in summer). This mode of operation is not a basis for flushing the engine with every oil change.

step two- dealing with ACEA :

Here are the requirements that engine oils must meet VAZ on ACEA:
ACEA A3\B3 And ACEA A3\B4. The rest will be left to the owners of foreign cars.

For oil with viscosity 10W-40

For oil with viscosity 5W-40 The following tolerances may be specified:

Visually comparable API, ACEA, manufacturers' tolerances and make sure that these are not just letters:

You can independently compare tolerances

Легенда: The more shaded, the better the defense.
1.Soot thickening- soot deposits.
2. Wear- general wear and tear.
3 Sludge- sludge (oily mud)
4. Piston deposits- soot in the piston.
5.Oxidative thickening- antioxidant properties.
6. Fuel economy- fuel economy.
7. Aftertreatment compabillity— compatibility with particulate catalytic converter.

I strongly recommend that you follow the links and see with your own eyes whether the oil you choose has at least one real tolerance. Keep in mind if the name of the oil differs in at least one word, another viscosity, at least one letter, this is a different product.

Step Three towards classification according to API .

Currently the classes are: SJ, SL, SM, SN. We don't hit our heads. For engines VAZ all of the above classes apply.

You can check the availability of a certificate by selecting your viscosity.

Note : certificate API(like AvtoVAZ- for 2 years, Volkswagen- 3 years, Daimler-Mercedes-Benz- 5 years) is issued for a limited period of time, during which the manufacturer does not have the right to change the composition of the oil without agreement with the authority that issued the certificate of conformity. That is, if there was once a certificate for oil, then the oil may have a different composition of the base and additives. API certification is mandatory only in America, but if it is obtained for an oil from a European line, the oil can be taken.

Step Four- we understand the performance characteristics of the oil.

Desirable characteristics of the oil for operation in Russia:

For oils with viscosity: 0w-40, 5w-40, 10w-40. And due to the difficulty in understanding the quality requirements by figures from AvtoVAZ, I recommend pouring exactly 40-ku.

Viscosity, mm2/s @ 100 ºC- from 13 before 15,5
(kinematic viscosity at 100°C)

Viscosity, mm2/s @ 40 ºC- from 70 before 95 .
(kinematic viscosity at 40°С)

Viscosity index — 160 .
(viscosity index)

Viscosity, mPa.s -30 (-25) ºC — 6200 at -35 for 0w-40, 6600 at -30 for 5w-40, 7000 at -25 for 10w-40. Less - better low-temperature properties, more stronger oil, less waste, etc.
(viscosity at sub-zero temperatures)

Sulphated Ash, wt. % — 1.3 . Would you like from 0,8 , and not higher 1,5 .
(sulfate ash)

TAN; mgKOH/g- not more 2,5 .
(acid number)

TBN; mgKOH/g- from 8 before 12 . More is better, but not always. From the high alkaline, the ash content is sulfate and sulfate ... If the value is 6 - 7, then we shorten the interval.
(base number)

Pour Point, ºC- from -30 . Below is better.
(pour point)

Flash Point, COC, ºC- from 220 . More is better. Oil thermal stability at high temperatures.
(flash point)

Noack Evaporation wt%- not higher 13 . Less is better.
(volatility, evaporation)

HTHS – ≥3,5 .
(high temperature shear viscosity)

Step five- mineral water, semi-synthetics or synthetics.

Let's take a brief look at what is hidden under these concepts and consider the groups of base oils according to API:

Group I- mineral oil (naphthene)
Group II- refined mineral oil (naphthene)
Group III- hydrocracked highly refined oil using high temperatures and high pressure - with synthetic properties (naphthene)
Group IV- PAO (polyalphaolefins) or synthetics
Group V- All others not included in groups I-IV (naphthenic base oils and non-RAO synthetic oils)

As a rule, in the European line of oils, under the terms synthetics / semi-synthetics / mineral water, the following is poured in canisters:
Mineral water (Petro) — Group I by API
- mineral mixture Group I And PAO synthetics Group IV(from 1 to 50%), or Group I And Group III hydrocracking.
Synthetics — Group III Group VI PAO(up to 70%) and Group I (up to 30%).

As a rule, in the American line of oils, under the terms synthetics / semi-synthetics / mineral water, the following is poured in canisters:
Mineral water (Petro) — Group I or II by API
Semi-synthetic (Synthetic Blend)- mineral mixture Group II And PAO synthetics Group IV(from 1 to 50%), or Group II And Group III hydrocracking.
Synthetics — Group III hydrocracking (up to 80%), or a mixture Group VI PAO(up to 70%) and Group II(up to 30%).

Compare the properties of mineral and synthetic oils you can according to this table, just be careful Group III there is no:

Pour any. The main thing is that the present and without exceeding a reasonable replacement interval. Synthetics will always have higher operational properties, compared with mineral oil. The most important selection criteria are written above. If you are using mineral or semi-synthetic oil then just adjust the mileage and change the mineral water or semi-synthetics a little earlier. For example, in the manual AvtoVAZ there are the following recommendations:

I want to clarify for myself that these intervals are mandatory for this reason:

3. Severe operating conditions

3.1 Periodic maintenance during difficult conditions operation according to the maintenance card is carried out at your discretion as the owner of the car, if you believe that the operating conditions correspond to severe. Regular Maintenance significantly increases the reliability of your car. Operating conditions are classified as severe if they meet the following:
- Movement with a strong dust content of the surrounding air;
- Driving on bumpy, flooded roads or hilly terrain;
- Vehicle operation at low ambient temperatures;
- Operation of the vehicle with long periods of engine operation at Idling or traveling short distances at low ambient temperatures;
- Movement with frequent intensive braking;

I deliberately do not quote specific brands of oils. It is important to be able to choose. And who knows how, he will choose according to the presence in his n.p., wallet and religious views. Attempts to consider yourself smarter than engine designers and pour in non-recommended oil by viscosity, for example: 0w-20, 5w-20 or 10w-60 you sideways and out!

As you know, engine oil plays a very significant role in the operation and normal functioning of the engine. So, low-quality lubricating fluid can lead to increased wear of parts. Not many owners of the 16-valve VAZ-2112 engine know which oil is suitable for their "iron horses".

A very popular option among owners of dvenashek is Mobil Super 3000

Now that all the factors have been considered, we can proceed to the list of oil that can be poured into the 16-valve VAZ-2112 engine. According to the manufacturer's recommendation, as well as service manuals, it is necessary to pour lubricating fluid from such manufacturers into Lada motors:

It should be noted that in recent years in the market of automotive fuels and lubricants there has been a tendency to increase the number of fakes. Therefore, when choosing an oil, it is worth checking for quality marks and certificates.

Oil properties

Before proceeding directly to the consideration of the choice of oil in the engine, it is necessary to consider the properties of the liquid, as well as the period for which it retains them. So, for 16-valve engines, the shelf life of useful qualities is slightly longer compared to 8-valve. The main properties of motor oils can be read on the packaging itself or on the manufacturer's website, but we will consider this issue in more detail.

Physical properties

Oil, in its composition, should cool the heated parts of the engine. The composition contains substances that contribute to this process. But, at long-term operation and regular heating and cooling, this property is violated.

Also, this is facilitated by the accumulation of metal chips, which occurs due to wear of parts.

Oil BP Visco 3000. Change every 12,000 km. Engine mileage 175,000 km. Judge for yourself!

The whole combination of these factors leads to the fact that after 10,000-12,000, the liquid ceases to fully cool parts, such as - crankshaft, the walls of the sleeves and the piston. It is because of this that an increase in wear of parts can be traced.

Chemical properties

According to its chemical properties, the oil should lubricate the parts well, but after 11-12 thousand kilometers - these properties are lost, and the maximum lubricating effect is lost.

This is what oil looks like after 10,000 km of run. Oil from 16 valves 124 engine. Dirty and without additives.

When this happens, the engine parts begin to develop in an accelerated mode, which leads to increased wear, primarily on the crankshaft.

Technical properties

In addition to the above properties, technical ones ensure the normal operation of the entire power unit as a whole. So, power unit must also be protected internally from negative factors. It is oil that creates a barrier between the working influences of the parts and the body.

How often do you need to change the oil in a 16 valve engine?

According to the manufacturer's standards, the engine oil must be replaced every 12-15 thousand kilometers. But, as practice shows, it is recommended to change the lubricant every 10,000 - 11,000 km.

This is due to the fact that the quality of the oil produced in the CIS does not reach the regulatory standards that were adopted by the International Convention of Automotive Manufacturers on December 1, 2005.

The second factor that affects such a short oil life is gasoline, as well as the life of the car. The older the car, the more often it is necessary to change the oil so that the engine has fully developed its motor resource.

conclusions

The choice and replacement of oil depends on many factors. Yes, there is a list of recommended lubricating fluids for pouring into a 16-valve VAZ-2112 engine. The choice of oil should be approached carefully, because it depends on it how well the engine will function efficiently and for a long time.
