Oil Rosneft 5w40 synthetic reviews Vesta

About the replacement process

Currently, Lada Vesta is equipped with two domestic gasoline 16-valve engines: 106-horsepower (model 21129) and 122-horsepower (model 21179).
Both engines are considered modern and high-speed, and this is one of the main parameters for selecting oil. And it is far from a fact that what kind of oil was poured into the Lada Vesta engine from the factory is what should be poured in the future. This article will try to provide arguments in favor of and against this statement. The first engine oil change should be done after 1.5-2 thousand kilometers. The lubricating fluid filled in at the factory is designed only for the engine break-in period. The second and subsequent replacements proposed by AvtoVAZ should be carried out every 15,000 kilometers.

Changing the oil in a Lada Vesta engine should ideally be done by professionals in a car service center. But this procedure can also be performed by an ordinary car enthusiast. Follow the step-by-step instructions and you will succeed:

1. Open the hood and unscrew the filler cap;
2. Unscrew the drain plug on the engine crankcase;

   
   Change of oil

3. Drain the contents into a previously prepared container;
4. We dismantle the old oil filter to replace it with a new one;

According to the manufacturer, the oil volume in the Vesta engine is 4.4 liters (with a manual gearbox) and 3.2 liters (with a robotic transmission).

Under normal operating conditions and in the absence of force majeure situations, changing the oil in a Lada Vesta car is the most frequent and very important part of maintenance.

The first oil change for the Vesta manual transmission, according to AVTOVAZ recommendations, should be done after 75,000 km or five years of operation (whichever comes first).

The correct choice of oil and accurate execution of the operation itself is the key to ensuring that the car will serve you for a long time and will not bring unpleasant surprises. We hope that this article did not leave any open questions, and therefore turned out to be useful.

Basic information

Today, the Lada Vesta is equipped with two Russian gasoline engines with 16 valves:

• 106 horsepower engine, model 21129
• 122 horsepower engine, model 21179

These devices are modern, have a large number of revolutions, and this is the most important point when choosing oil for a machine.

Many people wonder what kind of oil is poured into the Lada Vesta engine from the factory; it is believed that it is the best, but this rule does not work in all situations.

If one oil was filled, then it can be changed to another.

Types of motor oils

Among engine oils, there are the following types that are used most often:

• Mineral based
• Made from semi-synthetic materials
• Fully synthetic

They differ only in origin.

The first are created from oil, the second are a transition link between artificially created oils and natural ones, with a certain set of additives, the third are formed by combining additives with plasticizers, their goal is to reduce friction regardless of temperature.

Synthetic-based lubricants are quite viscous; mineral oils cannot offer the same capability.

It is better to fill the engine with non-mineral oil, since it is not stable in its chemical composition, which means it will work less.

Another advantage of synthetics is its isothermal properties; such oil will work in a temperature range of -40 to 50.

Mineral oil at the same indicators will either freeze or become very liquid.

Engine oil for Lada Vesta - which one to fill and which is better

LADAVESTA

The Russian auto industry has always been considered something secondary in the world of automakers, boring design, lack of comfort, which gave rise to many jokes on the topic of patriotism in terms of choosing a personal car.

However, in 2020, AVTOVAZ presented a new model, the LADA VESTA.

The model's release had the effect of a bomb exploding. The design of the model in this segment caused a lot of controversy. Driving characteristics were also questioned. But time has shown that AVTOVAZ made the right bet. The model caught on and many consumers began to choose the domestic VEST rather than a foreign car of a similar class. 2020 was marked by the release of the SW station wagon; this niche is practically not occupied by competitors. And again, the marketers from AVTOVAZ were not mistaken; the waiting list for this model is already more than three months.

Design and comfort are not all that is needed in a car; a good engine and adequate reliable transmission are a must.

In this regard, AVTOVAZ engineers did not disappoint.

Vesta is equipped with two engine models, the main difference between the engines is the volume and number of horsepower.

Model 21129 with an engine capacity of 1596 cm3 106 horsepower and model 21179 with a displacement of 1774 cm3 122 horsepower. Yes, the lineup is not very diverse, but today it is enough to satisfy consumers.

New Lada: Engine and transmission oils for Lada Vesta

With transmissions, the situation is a little more complicated; at the moment there are 6 model options.

Two of them are boxes manufactured by RENAULT under the symbols JH3 and JR5.

And the four remaining are domestic development indexes 21807 and 2180 mechanics, 21827 and 2182 are robotic boxes.

Agree that everyone can choose a package to their liking.

After purchasing a new car, every car owner thinks about how to properly maintain the car. VEST owners are no exception. The car is a new product in the Russian automobile industry, its reliability will be higher if you use high-quality materials for maintenance during maintenance.

LIQUI MOLY can offer Vesta owners lubricants of the highest German quality for routine maintenance.

VAZ 21129 and 21179 engines are new generation engines that require a more scrupulous approach to the choice of engine oil.

For owners of cars equipped with a VAZ 21129 engine with a volume of 1596 cm3, we can offer the use of Optimal Synth 5W-40 universal motor oil. Product specifications exceed the manufacturer's requirements, which allows the vehicle to be used with various loads. But if the owner wants maximum engine protection, under extreme loads we recommend using the company’s proprietary product HC-synthetic motor oil Molygen New Generation 5W-40.

Those who purchased a more powerful version of the car equipped with a 21179 engine with a displacement of 1774 cm3 must take into account the design features of the engine and use oils with a viscosity of 5W-30. The optimal choice from the LIQUI MOLY range would be Optimal HT Synth 5W-30 HC synthetic motor oil.

The Optimal line in the LIQUI MOLY assortment was developed and produced at a plant in Germany, taking into account the peculiarities of vehicle operation in Russian conditions.

The choice of gear oil is also not easy, since it is necessary to take into account the design features of gearboxes.

Robotic boxes have certain application-specific requirements. It must be taken into account that the use of a certain type of oil affects the smoothness of switching and fuel efficiency. Technologists at LIQUI MOLY have developed a special product for use in such transmissions: HC-synthetic gear oil Top Tec MTF 5200 75W-80.

New Lada: Engine and transmission oils for Lada Vesta

This product allows you to operate a car equipped with a robotic transmission with maximum comfort, and the additive package in the oil protects the transmission from wear.

If equipped with a manual gearbox, we recommend using: Synthetic gear oil Hochleistungs-Getriebeoil 75W-90 with maximum protective properties and excellent low-temperature characteristics. I would like to note that this product is universal and is suitable for all types of mechanical transmissions produced by VAZ and RENAULT with which VESTA is equipped.

To facilitate the selection of the company's products, we attach a table for the use of LIQUI MOLY products on VAZ vehicles of the VESTA model range.

We hope our recommendations will allow you to make the right choice!

A world of friction-reducing

The most popular groups of oils used for passenger car engines are:

1. Mineral;
2. Semi-synthetic;
3. Synthetic.

The difference between them is their origin. The former are obtained directly from oil. The latter are an intermediate link between artificially obtained and natural ones, improved by a set of additives. The third is the result of a complex synthesis of additives and plasticizers, with the goal of reducing friction at any temperature.

Synthetic lubricants have a viscosity that mineral lubricants cannot offer to an engine. In addition, it is better to fill an engine with 16 valves with “non-mineral water”, since it is more stable in chemical composition, which allows you to increase the period between replacements. Its high isothermal properties also speak in favor of synthetics.

What kind of oil is poured into the grant at the factory?

One of the most important components that no car can do without is motor oil. It is selected according to the technical instructions of the manufacturer. The good performance of a car engine largely depends on the correct selection. Motor oil has an oily base and has a specific chemical composition.

It contains special additives that cover the engine parts with a protective film. It saves the engine when operating in extreme conditions. Thanks to the action of oil, the friction force during operation of the car engine is greatly reduced. Parts have an increased service life and their wear is reduced.

Oil options for Lada Vesta

The manufacturer of this brand of car categorically recommends filling the car with synthetic oil SAE5W-30 or SAE5W-40. The meaning of these letters will be discussed below.

SAE is an acronym that stands for Society of Automotive Engineers.

The value from 0W to 30W is used for winter, there are 6 oils in total in increments of 5W.

For other seasons, there are 5 more engine oils, from 20 to 60, in increments of 10.

The creator company itself was created in 1911, its oil standards developed were accepted by the whole world, which are still the standard to this day.

Now examples will be given of which engine oil is best for Lada Vesta.

SAE 5W30 and SAE5W40 - this is the oil that is poured into this brand of car at the factory; due to its ductility and viscosity, it will remain in its normal state from 35 to -35, such indicators completely coincide with the climate of Europe and Russia.

The plant in Volzhsk advises filling cars with oil from Russian companies, from Lukoil and Rosneft.

Only two of these companies have the privilege of being the manufacturer of the machines, which means that the lubricant is perfectly compatible with other parts of the machine.

You can also fill the engine with foreign oils with category 5W30:

• Mobil, you can still use 5W40, 0W40 - only for new cars
• Motul Specific DEXO S2
• Shell HELIX HX8

Application area

On the left is a liter canister of oil from Rosneft, on the right is Lukoil.
Lada Ultra oil, both from Lukoil and Rosneft, was developed specifically for cars produced by AvtoVAZ, but is also suitable for other brands if the necessary specifications are available.

Applicable in any passenger vehicles equipped with gasoline (including turbocharged) and diesel engines. Compatible with catalytic exhaust gas aftertreatment systems, but not compatible with particulate filters.

Optimal for urban start-stop driving. It also performs well on the highway and off-road.

How to choose engine oil for Lada Vesta

Instead of wasting time on useless debates about which oil is better - Russian or foreign, you should pay attention to the fact that all oils are of high quality, and you just need to buy only real ones, and not counterfeit ones. We will leave the choice of oil to the opinion of the drivers.

When asked what kind of oil to fill in the Lada Vesta, the manufacturer gives a clear answer - synthetic grades SAE5W-30 or SAE5W-40. Let's shed some light on what these numbers and letters mean:

SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) is an abbreviation for the Society of Automotive Engineers;

Below are clearly presented recommendations on which oil to pour depending on the temperature of their operation.

Oil selection

• SAE 5W30 and SAE5W40 - this is the oil that is poured at the factory as the optimal engine oil for Lada Vesta. Their properties, such as viscosity and fluidity in the temperature range from -35 to 35, are excellent for almost all climatic zones of Russia and Europe, where the export of cars with a rook on the radiator grill is growing dynamically.

It is these two concerns that have AvtoVAZ approvals, and this is the highest degree of trust and guarantee of compatibility of the lubricant and all engine parts.

Among foreign manufacturers, oils with the characteristic 5w30 are recommended:

• Mobil (5w40 is also allowed, and for new cars 0w40);
• Motul Specific DEXO s2;
• Shell HELIX HX8.

Oils for Lada Vesta

In order not to waste time on polemics about which engine oil is better for Lada Vesta - imported or domestic, we will give the right of choice to the car owners themselves. Note that the quality of the original lubricants is almost the same, but what to pour into the engine - real or counterfeit - is a concern, first of all, for the buyers themselves.

Technologically, when operating engines 21127 and 21177, it is determined how much oil should be lost when the engine is running. This figure for Vesta is about 100 g per thousand kilometers. Therefore, periodic monitoring of oil availability is mandatory for owners of Lada Vesta. The optimal level will be between o and “min” on the meter probe.

Car owners should remember that a lack of lubricant is just as harmful as its excess. So, excess oil on the Lada Vesta, or more precisely, its vapors, can enter the combustion chamber through the breather. This will cause enrichment of the exhaust gases and, as a result, disable the entire Euro 5 environmental system.

There are three main and most popular groups of oils for technical equipment:

• mineral based;
• on a semi-synthetic basis;
• on a synthetic basis.

The main difference between the groups is the material and components for manufacturing. Mineral - made from petroleum. Semi-synthetic - partly from petroleum, partly from a synthetic base. Synthetic oil is made by 99.0% artificial synthesis with the addition of plasticizers.

Synthetic oils “offer” a high viscosity coefficient, which “mineral oil” cannot provide. And this is the main advantage of synthetics over petroleum base.

It is not recommended to use mineral-based engine oil in Lada Vesta. Semi-synthetics can be used in exceptional cases. The main emphasis is on synthetics, which have a wide temperature range from -40 to 55°C, high fluidity and viscosity.

Foreign manufacturers always focus on “their” car market. The domestic manufacturer relies on the technical characteristics of Russian cars, respectively.

At the same time, foreign analogues are compatible with engines of domestic cars. The reverse process is not always possible, at least at this stage of development of Russian technologies.

In recent years, cases of mass counterfeiting of motor oils, including foreign ones, have become more frequent. The reason for this phenomenon is obvious - the possibility of making more profit.

Domestic brands are also counterfeited, but to a lesser extent. Therefore, service station managers recommend always buying consumables and oils at official points of sale.

Product Description

Lada Ultra 5w40 from Lukoil is a hydrocracking synthetic with a package of modern additives.
The product is intended for year-round use and retains its viscosity characteristics over a wide temperature range. The 5w40 marking says that this range is between minus 35 and plus 40 degrees Celsius.

Increased oil film strength provides excellent wear protection. Oxidative stability and detergent additives help maintain cleanliness inside the engine and make the product optimal for use in city traffic. Frequent stopping and then starting wears out the engine. The use of this lubricant reduces the load.

Low-temperature fluidity ensures that the engine starts easily in winter, without problems and additional manipulations. And also from the first moments after start-up, lubrication and protection of parts is ensured.

In addition, this composition neutralizes acids formed during fuel combustion and prevents metal corrosion.

The oil has become unsuitable for the car: how to find out and what to do?

To find out if the dipstick is useful, you need to drop a drop of it onto paper and wait until it dries, about 15-20 minutes.

Using a drop, you can determine whether the oil was working or not, whether it contains mechanical impurities, or whether the liquid came from an engine that overheated.

The determining factor will be the color; if it is dark, it means there are few substances useful for the car, and the opposite situation, when the color is light, is also bad.

Engine lubricants should be viscous, this will ensure long-term operation and parts will wear less.

The properties of liquids also differ significantly.

• Synthetic – used for new cars with low mileage and can withstand temperature changes well
• Half synthetic – mainly used for worn out engines
• Mineral - low quality and price, unsuitable for high and low temperatures

The best semi-synthetic oils for Lada Vesta

Synthetic oil can provide maximum protection for all engine components. It retains all its best characteristics both in hot weather and in severe frost. Experts recommend pouring the following products into the Lada Vesta engine.

Castrol Edge 5W-30

The Castrol Edge 5W-30 synthetic oil stands out from its competitors with the most durable film. The German manufacturer managed to achieve this effect thanks to the successful implementation of Titanium FST technology. Reliable protection of engine parts is ensured even under high loads. Experts note the wear resistance of the product, so the most important properties of the oil are maintained throughout the entire service life.

Motorists note an improvement in acceleration dynamics, some even found savings in gasoline. Only the sound of the running engine becomes different.

After the warranty period expires, you can switch to semi-synthetic oil. It has proven itself well in European winter conditions, when the air temperature in winter rarely drops below -20°C. Experts have selected several suitable motor oils.

SHELL Helix HX7 10W-40 semi-synthetic product deserved the most flattering words from experts. It combines affordability with a long service life. If most competitors manage to make semi-synthetic oil with a service life of 5 thousand km, then SHELL Helix HX7 can be changed after 7 thousand km. The advantages of the lubricant include maintaining fluidity at low temperatures.

Semi-synthetics win our rating for durability, versatility of use and reasonable price. You should only buy it from trusted suppliers due to the presence of counterfeit products on the market.

In warm regions of the country, mineral oil can be used successfully. It is also suitable for use in the spring-autumn season, if during this time the car runs up to 5 thousand km. Here are the best mineral waters for use in Lada Vesta today.

SHELL Rimula R4 X 15W-40 engine oil was developed for use in loaded power units. Therefore, the manufacturer paid special attention to maintaining performance throughout the entire service life. Experts note excellent neutralizing ability, due to which parts are well protected from corrosion.

Car owners are satisfied with the combination of price and quality, wear resistance and durability. So far there have been no complaints about the oil from users.

How to change oil?

Now we will talk about how to change it to a Lada Vesta.

The very first oil change in the engine should be carried out after driving 1.5-2 thousand kilometers, since the lubricant liquid poured at the factory is intended only for running-in the engine.

It is better to carry out the oil change process in a specialized car service center, but if there is no opportunity or desire, then you can do everything yourself, the main thing is to follow the instructions written below, but before you start, read the following. The oil filter in the Lada Vesta is located in an inconvenient place, so to remove it you need a special key, and before installing a new filter, lubricate the sealing ring with oil, old or new.

Here's how to change the oil in your car:

1. You need to open the hood and unscrew the filler cap
2. Unscrew the drain plug on the engine
3. Drain the old oil into a prepared container
4. We remove the unusable oil filter and replace it with a new one.
5. Now you need to wait until the old oil has completely drained, then screw the crankcase plug back in. To successfully drain and add oil, you can use a wide watering can, thanks to it nothing will leak and the engine will remain clean
6. Now fill in synthetic oil, after a few minutes check the level with a dipstick; if the oil is not enough, then add more. You should not pour two oils into one engine, since any oil has a complex chemical composition, and mixing it with an oil designed differently can lead to problems during operation.
7. We screw the filler cap back, close the trunk, and start the car. If you did all the work correctly, the oil level control on the dashboard of the car will go out. You can go by car right now

This replacement option was carried out without cleaning the engines from the remnants of the previous oil. If you want to clean the car of the previous fluid, here are some more tips:

• You can buy the additive and drive by car, the route indicated on the package
• Another option involves using flushing fluid; after filling it in, you need to let the machine run for a while, but it is better not to use this method. When you wash, find out how long you need to do it, if it’s 20 minutes, then it’s better to wash for 5-7 minutes less, these are the tips of experienced drivers. After all, if you wash it for a long time, the old dirt may fall off and ruin the car’s engine.

How to properly replace the oil filter?

The first step is to choose engine oil:

• Lada 11189 1.6 l - you will need 3.6 liters of new lubricant;
• Lada 21189 1.6 l - for AMT 3.2 l, for manual - 4.4 l;
• Lada 21179 1.8 l - 4.2 l;
• Lada H4M 1.6 l - 4.3 liters.

List of necessary tools for replacing the oil filter in Lada Vesta:

• new filter unit - original code 2108-0101200-582 or analogues: Salyut, Nevsky, CHAMPION, BOSCH, MANN, MAHLE, etc.;
• container for waste liquid;
• a set of wrenches, including socket and socket wrenches;
• rubber gasket for crankcase drain plug;
• special filter remover;
• hexagon;
• stub;
• rags;
• latex gloves.

The work process of changing motor fluid must be carried out using special technical gloves to prevent burns and direct skin contact with the fluid. It is necessary to change the engine lubricant when the engine is warmed up to operating temperature - this will improve the process of draining old fluid and extend the life of the Lada Vesta engine.

Stage one

Replacing the oil filter on Vesta, as the manufacturer’s regulations state, must begin by draining the engine fluid:

1. Remove the plastic engine cover.
2. It will be difficult to get to the filter from above, so there is a special dirt shield for the engine compartment located below.
3. Clean the oil pan yourself from dust and dirt and use a rag to walk along the drain hole.
4. Use a wrench to loosen the drain plug and place a container under the car.
5. Drain the used motor lubricant.
6. After draining, you need to wipe the plug and the neck of the hole, and then screw it back into place.

Stage two

The first step in the change process is to install filtration:

1. To remove the filter, you will need a puller. A puller is a special spare part for removing the filter device. Otherwise, you can unscrew the crankshaft fixation sensor.
2. If a puller is not available, it is recommended to use a screwdriver to pierce the unit body and carefully remove the element.
3. The element landing site must be cleaned of dirt and dust. You need to pour 150-200 ml of motor lubricant into the new filter and lubricate the O-ring with it.
4. Tighten the unit yourself until the ring touches the surface of the cylinder block.
5. After adding the filter device, you should fill in new engine fluid recommended by the manufacturer.
6. Screw on the filler cap when the oil level reaches the max mark.
7. Start the engine for 3-4 minutes - the instrument panel should show a normal level of fluid pressure in the engine.
8. Check the bottom for leaks from under the filter plug and drain hole.
9. Stop the engine and check the fluid level. The check should show the amount of engine oil in the crankcase. If necessary, the manufacturer recommends adding fluid.

This completes the first independent oil filter replacement on the Lada Vesta. Operation of a vehicle with new filtration is permitted immediately after changing the consumables.

On some Lada Vesta car models, the oil filtration part is located in such a way that the entire work process is transferred to the engine compartment and looks a little different. In many trim levels, the manufacturer has provided a decorative cover that covers the car engine and related parts. To operate, it will need to be removed to gain access to the filter unit.

If the procedure is performed for the first time, then even with the help of a puller it will not be easy to unscrew the housing of the filter device yourself, but all subsequent technical replacements can be performed in the engine compartment. The described instructions for replacing the oil filter, according to the manufacturer’s regulations, are equally relevant for both beginners and more experienced Lada Vesta car owners.

What kind of oil to pour into the Lada Vesta engine. Expert advice on choosing

Manufacturer's recommendations. All cars that leave the AvtoVAZ checkpoint are filled with technical fluids. The manufacturer uses synthetic oils SAE5W-30 or SAE5W-40 from well-known Russian oil companies Lukoil and Rosneft on the conveyor. These products are also recommended for dealerships that service vehicles under warranty.

Lubricants are all-season, they can successfully protect engine components at both high (30..35°C) and low (-30..-35°C) temperatures. The interval between replacements is 15 thousand km, but experts advise the first replacement after running-in to be carried out after 1.5-2.0 thousand km.

Mileage factor. Lada Vesta cars are still young (production began in 2020), so many owners visit service centers for warranty maintenance. But after the warranty expires, many motorists will switch to changing the oil themselves. Then you will have to take into account the mileage factor.

When the car's mileage is within 150-200 thousand km, it is best to use all-season oil designated 5W30, 5W40 or 10W30. Synthetic products meet these requirements.

When the engine has worked out more than a quarter of its service life, it is allowed to use mineral or semi-synthetic oil 15W40 or 10W40 in the summer. If the winter in the region is harsh, then there is no alternative to synthetics.

Features of operation. The engine oil change interval depends on the operating conditions of the vehicle. Car enthusiasts with a relaxed driving style who live in small towns can change the oil after 15 thousand km. But residents of megacities spend a lot of time in city traffic jams. If a motorist likes dynamic driving, then the service life of the lubricant is limited to 10 thousand km. These indicators apply only to synthetics.

We have selected 9 best oils for Lada Vesta for review. All lubricants can be purchased at auto stores across the country. When compiling the rating, the opinion of the expert community and reviews of car enthusiasts were taken into account.

The class of motor oil directly affects the service life of the equipment. The discrepancy between the viscosity coefficient and the quantitative composition of chemical additives increases the temperature regime and increases the friction force on the surface of parts. Ultimately, the powertrain mechanisms wear out prematurely.

For each vehicle, the manufacturer has developed individual lubrication standards. The exact data is indicated in the operating instructions. Strict adherence to the recommendations will ensure a long service life of the machine components.

Before purchasing, please carefully read the specifications in the instruction manual. If you have any difficulties with the choice, consult with service station specialists.

Buy consumables and oils at official points of sale. Require sellers to provide quality certificates for their products.

Carefully check the presence of the barcode, date and batch number, integrity of the packaging, and canisters. If there is damage or visible defects, refuse to purchase.

Domestic or foreign oils - the choice is up to the car owner. Here take into account the cost and the size of the maintenance budget. We recommend giving preference to foreign products; domestic lubricants are an economical option. Recommended oil by the manufacturer: 5W30, 5W40 Lukoil, Rosneft, as well as foreign analogues.

Replacement period and factors

The manufacturer strongly recommends changing the engine oil after 15 thousand km. The mandatory replacement procedure is also part of the first maintenance process. But is it worth waiting that long?

Operating conditions of Lada Vesta

1. Short trips - the engine does not have time to warm up properly, which causes sudden temperature changes, which affects the quality of the oil;
2. Prolonged downtime of the car - as a result, condensation forms, leading to corrosion of parts and additional stress on the lubricant;
3. Jerking movements in city traffic jams lead to oil overheating and a decrease in important characteristics
4. Prolonged driving on bumpy roads causes the lubricant to thicken
5. Dense dust in the area where the car is used clogs oil filters

Local breakdown

1. Filter plug not tightly closed
2. Technical malfunction - causes a natural increase in engine fluid consumption

Additional useful information

Based on the data provided by the manufacturer, the amount of oil held for a car with a manual transmission is 4.4 liters, and if the transmission is automatic, then the number is less, 3.2 liters.

If normal operating conditions of the machine are observed and there are no unexpected circumstances, then changing the oil in the machine will be the most frequent process and at the same time a very responsible one.

Changing the manual transmission oil in the Lada Vesta, following the instructions of AVTOVAZ, should occur every 75 thousand kilometers or after 5 years of using the car, this date will come faster than such a high mileage.

It is better to choose engine fluid with a specialist; this could be a store or a simple gas station.

How much to fill

Nominal filling volumes are indicated in the Lada Vesta operating manual:

* When changing the oil (without replacing the oil filter). ** The use of mixtures of coolants of different brands is not allowed. *** Reference value! The oil level should be at the lower edge of the filler hole. **** Variant execution.

It is noteworthy that the consumption standards for technical fluids and the technological instructions indicate the amount of refrigerant charged to the LADA Vesta climate system (410 and 390+/-20) grams, respectively.
