How long does it take to change the oil in manual and automatic transmissions?

How many liters of oil are needed for the automatic transmission of a Toyota Corolla?

Changing the oil in a Toyota Corolla automatic transmission requires a minimum of effort and available tools. This car is quite easy to repair and maintain independently. Moreover, if we are talking only about replacing consumables. In this article, we will look at how to choose the right consumables, what is the frequency of replacement, and also how much oil is required for a Toyota Corolla automatic transmission.

Regulations

The Japanese automaker has established clear regulations for changing the oil in the Toyota Corolla automatic transmission. It is about 60 thousand kilometers, but may differ for the worse depending on operating conditions. So, if the machine is not subjected to high loads, is operated in warm climatic regions and travels on high-quality roads, then you can rely on the maximum replacement period. But the situation can become more complicated if the motorist encounters unpredictable weather and road conditions. Let's highlight a few of them:

• A sharp change in temperature, frost gives way to thaw, and as a result - dirt and slush on the roads
• Driving on bad roads, including off-road with muddy ground

In such conditions, transmission oil will become unusable faster than the replacement period of 60 thousand kilometers. Russian motorists are well familiar with such factors, who prefer to reduce replacement to 40 thousand kilometers. In extreme cases, it is necessary to change the oil after 30 thousand if the driver makes mistakes in driving the car - for example, constantly exceeds the speed, does not work correctly with the gearbox and clutch, and as a result, overheating of important components occurs. But on the other hand, sometimes you have to subject the car to extreme loads, given difficult climatic and road conditions

But here it is important to keep in mind that in such a situation you will have to resort to changing the oil more often. Moreover, it is advisable to frequently monitor the volume and condition of consumables

How to check the volume and condition of the oil

Toyota Corolla is equipped with a dipstick with special marks. They can be used to determine whether there is enough oil in the gearbox. For example, if the fluid is below the minimum level (Min), then oil will need to be added. At the same time, it must be added gradually, avoiding overflow. Otherwise, you will have to crawl under the car and drain the liquid. To achieve the optimal level, it is necessary that the oil is no higher than the maximum mark (Max) on the dipstick.

It is important to understand that the procedure for adding oil is only relevant for cars with low mileage, or if the oil is changed in a timely manner. But if you do not follow certain rules and expose the car to high loads, as written above, you may encounter unpredictable breakdowns in the gearbox

In such cases, the oil has most likely completely lost all its beneficial properties. As a result, the transmission is unstable and constantly overheats. Four signs indicate that the oil is unsuitable: darkened color, cloudiness, presence of sediments and metal shavings. In addition, spoiled oil can emit specific odors. If such signs are detected, the old oil should be drained immediately.

Choosing oil for automatic transmission Toyota Corolla

Before adding new oil, you must make sure that this product meets all the parameters specified in the instructions. In other words, the oil must be fully compatible with the Toyota Corolla automatic transmission. Therefore, in order to avoid mistakes in the selection process, you must rely on the manufacturer’s instructions. For example, you should only fill in original Toyota ATF Type T-IV oil. This product has optimal viscosity parameters and is designed for a long service life. As for the type of oil, in our case only synthetic is suitable. It is recommended to fill in semi-synthetic oil only with high mileage, or in case of lack of funds for expensive synthetic oil.

How much to fill

Toyota requires 4 liters of transmission fluid to be poured into the Corolla automatic transmission. This volume is the maximum and can only be entered during a complete oil change. During this procedure, the old fluid is first drained, then a flushing agent is introduced, which is circulated throughout the entire transmission with the engine running. The flush is then drained along with any dirt and metal shavings that may have gotten inside through a clogged oil filter. The final stage is filling the new oil in full. The level is adjusted to normal using a dipstick.

How to change gearbox oil in am gazelle, how much is included and which one to choose

Replacing a timing belt or timing kit.
After how many thousand to change 3 It so happened that the gazelle received a highly modernized box from a Volga car

It is important to understand that the Volga is a passenger car, and the Gazelle is a truck, which often works with overload and the gearbox is a consumable item. At least somehow extending the life of the box will help to use high-quality oil and adherence to its replacement interval.

How to change the oil in the gearbox of a Gazelle car?

We need a tool:

Hexagon 12 - we will use it to unscrew and tighten the drain plugs

Basin - we will drain used oil into it

Syringe - we will use it to fill in the oil, but if you wish, you can do without it.

Oil change procedure:

• We drive 10-20 km so that the oil in the box warms up and becomes more liquid.
• We drive into a pit or lift (or simply crawl under the frame as the height of the body allows)
• Unscrew the drain plug and substitute the basin
• We are waiting for the oil to stop draining
• We wipe the magnet of the drain plug from shavings and wrap it back.
• We unscrew the filler plug and fill in the oil with a syringe until it runs out of the filler plug.
• We wipe the threads and tighten the filler plug.

All the oil in the box has been changed and you can drive =)

If you do not have a syringe, you can pour oil into the box through the gear shift lever. To do this, remove the rubber cover and unscrew the lever itself (done by hand without tools, by hand).

Pour the oil directly into the box. Accordingly, fill in the oil until it comes out of the filler plug.

I warn you against filling the oil “according to the norm” (1.2 liters)! The fact is that the castings of the boxes are slightly different and what is normal for one box will not be enough for another! Remember, a low level is bad because the insides of the box will quickly wear out, and a high level is bad because the seals will start to sweat oil! Fill with oil until it comes out of the filler neck!

If you cannot unscrew the filler plug, try the plug on the other side (the exhaust pipe may be in the way). It’s strange, but true, there are 2 filler plugs on the gearboxes of gazelles and Volgas, this is due to the fact that the cars were equipped with different engines in different years and their exhaust pipes were on different sides.

Oil change interval in the gearbox of a gazelle car.

The factory recommends an oil change interval of 50,000 km, but in practice, in a gazelle box it is better to change it twice as often, i.e. every 3 engine oil changes or 30,000 km. Unless genuine synthetic motor oils can be changed less frequently.

The author of this article bought a new gazelle with a 421 engine in 2009 and the gearbox covered only 40,000 km with factory oil, then its first gear began to fall out and it began to hum, a replacement under warranty saved the day.

After that, Mannol GL4 85w-90 was poured into the box, with this oil the box traveled 240,000 km with oil changes every 50,000 km, after which the car was sold and the box was in excellent condition when sold. The problem is that this oil costs more than 600 rubles per liter..

Which oil should I choose for the gearbox of a gazelle car?

Let's start with what our favorite plant pours... And the plant pours something cheaper - TAD 17.... In fact, this oil should be changed immediately at the first maintenance. I have always been amazed by such a disregard for the consumer, but this is a given...

The plant itself recommends pouring GL4 oil with a viscosity of 75W-90 into the gearbox; it is acceptable to pour GL5 oil with a similar viscosity, but it has a higher sulfur content and wears out the synchronizers somewhat faster.

If you are faced with a choice between mineral, semi-synthetic and synthetic oil, then you should definitely choose the last 2, despite the fact that they are more expensive. The fact is that in winter, using mineral water, gasoline consumption increases very much and the gears are very difficult to engage (until it warms up completely).

boxes), and starting the engine without pressing the clutch is almost impossible...

We agreed - we fill in high-quality GL4 75w-90, GL5 is also possible, but it contains more sulfur and wears out the synchronizers faster.

How much oil is included in a gazelle box?

Officially, according to the passport, 1.2 liters are poured into the box. But due to casting defects and various technological jambs, and various modifications, the actual volume of oil in the box varies in the range of 1.2 - 1.5 liters. In any case, you will have to buy 2 liters for replacement. You won’t get rich from 200 grams, and underfilling will ruin the box, so fill the oil strictly according to the level of the oil filler plug.

What is the volume of the VAZ 2110 box

How long does it take to change engine oil?

In the proposed material we will determine exactly how much oil to pour into the VAZ box. The meticulousness of the question is justified, since the normal operation of the vehicle is at stake. Young drivers will learn how many liters of lubricant should be purchased for one-time filling into the gearbox crankcase.

The modifications of this car with different power units produced by the auto company are equipped with the same type of variable speed gearboxes with minimal technical correction. The designers are one hundred percent right here. Why reinvent another wheel when launching an updated old model into series. The unification of the transmission unit is justified from an economic point of view.

The unified unit initially requires an exact volume of oil in the box. So, how much oil is in the box of the popular VAZ 2110 - 3.5 liters. The lubricant is enough for a car to run 60 thousand kilometers. After which you should change the lubricant. It is necessary that the crankcase contains exactly this amount of lubricating consistency. That is 3.5 liters.

More is possible, but the reserve is detrimental to the car. Increased volume:

• quickly destroys numerous oil seals;
• negatively affects engine power;
• increases fuel consumption.

The negative will definitely appear if you add even 200 grams above the norm.

About types of transmission oils

How long does it take to change brake fluid?

Today, two types of gear oils can be found on the fuel and lubricants market: GL-5 standard oil and GL-4 standard oil. Here are their differences:

• GL-4 standard. These are transmission oils used in gearboxes and drive axles with hypoid and bevel gears operating at moderate temperatures and loads;
• GL-5 standard. It includes transmission oils used in high-speed axles and gearboxes operating under conditions of high temperatures and alternating shock loads.

From the above, it becomes clear that the GL-5 standard provides better extreme pressure protection for the gears in the transmission. But this is a common misconception to which many car owners, including VAZ 2107 owners, are susceptible.

Let's take a closer look at this point.

Transmission oils of the GL-5 standard use special complexes of sulfur-phosphorus additives, which create an additional protective layer on the rubbing steel parts of the gearbox. But if such an additive comes into contact with parts containing copper or other soft metal, then the protective layer formed by the additive turns out to be stronger than the copper surface. As a result, wear on the soft metal surface accelerates several times.

Research shows that the use of GL-5 standard lubricant in gearboxes that require GL-4 standard lubricant is not only not advisable, but also dangerous.

For example, synchronizers in VAZ 2107 boxes are made of brass.
And with prolonged use of GL-5 oil, they will be the first to fail. It is for this reason that the owner of a VAZ 2107 should fill only GL-4 standard oil into the gearbox.
The second most important point that the owner of a VAZ 2107 should remember is the viscosity class of the oil being poured. Today there are two such classes:

• class SAE75W90. It includes semi-synthetic and synthetic transmission oils, which motorists call all-season. This lubricant works in a wide temperature range - from -40 to +35°C. It is this class of oils that is ideal for use in our country;
• class SAE75W85. The upper temperature limit for oils of this class is higher. But it should not exceed 45°C, since at this temperature the oil begins to boil.

Brand and volume of oil for gearbox VAZ 2107

There are several brands of GL-4 gear oil that are especially popular among VAZ 2107 owners. We list them:

The volume of oil poured directly depends on the number of gears in the car’s gearbox. If the VAZ 2107 is equipped with a four-speed gearbox, then it will require 1.4 liters of oil, and for a five-speed gearbox it will require 1.7 liters.

Which oil to choose?

For filling into the gearbox (regardless of modification), the manufacturer recommends using oils of two groups:

• GL-4 is a highly additive fluid designed for high-speed, low-torque manual transmissions or low-speed, high-torque manual transmissions.
• GL-5 - oils designed for hypoid gears, in which the gears rotate at an angle to each other; have proven themselves well in gearboxes operated in harsh conditions.

In the VAZ 2107 box you can use all-season synthetic or semi-synthetic oils of viscosity classes SAE 80W-85 (from -35 to +35 °C), SAE 75W-90 (from -40 to +35 °C), SAE 75W-85 (from - 40 to +45 °C). The last two types of oils are best suited for the Russian climate.

Replacement features

After filling in new oil, some motorists have problems operating the car. Usually the cause is incorrect replacement, but sometimes defects appear due to the fault of factory assembly. Sometimes when driving in fifth gear, a hum appears, and changing to this gear can be difficult. If these signs are present, then it is worth checking how much fluid is poured into the gearbox reservoir.

When o, but the hum remains, it is necessary to add gearbox fluid above o. This is a feature of the Samara model range: the fifth gear is located the highest, so the level of the working fluid may not reach it.

The gearbox, like other car parts, needs high-quality maintenance. First of all, the uninterrupted operation of the gearbox during operation depends on the condition of the transmission fluid. In this article you will learn the main points that relate to changing the lubricant, its choice and the cost of the work.

Capacity for filling oil into the rear axle gearbox of VAZ 2107

You won’t believe it, but there are also owners who don’t even know that the rear axle of a car also needs regular lubrication, although not as often as the engine. Also, there are drivers who believe that if the oil does not expel or ooze, there is no need to change it at all. This is all wrong and it is also necessary to perform this procedure, as in the internal combustion engine and in the gearbox.

The lubricant volume should be 1.3 liters. To fill the required level, you need to wait until the oil flows from the filler hole; this will be considered the optimal volume.

Changing the gearbox oil

The manufacturer recommends changing the oil in a manual transmission after 90 thousand kilometers or 7 years, whichever comes first. In an automatic transmission (if it is installed on a car), the working fluid should be replaced after 60 thousand kilometers or 6 years, whichever comes first. The volume of oil poured into a manual transmission is 2.8 liters, the working fluid for an automatic transmission is 5.4 liters.

This is where the oil filler plug of a manual transmission is located.

You will need: a 23mm socket, extension, wrench, container for collecting used oil, syringe.

To change the oil in a manual transmission, follow these steps:

When is it time to change the oil?

On average, an oil change in a car needs to be done after 30-40 thousand kilometers of driving. However, this is a general case and the transmission oil needs to be examined every 10 thousand kilometers (during a technical inspection), because special circumstances may arise or problems may arise that you are not even aware of (for example, an oil leak).

The vehicle's technical manual describes in detail all the indicators at which the oil should be replaced with new one. This can be either the mileage traveled or the desired period of time.

Typically, manufacturers advise replacing them once every 60-90 thousand kilometers or once every three years, but in special operating conditions it is advisable to do this twice as often.

Changing the oil in the VAZ 2106 engine, as well as the oil filter

Changing the gearbox oil is one of the most important aspects of car care. The oil ensures uniform lubrication of the rubbing elements of the transmission, and also serves as a coolant, removing temperature from the heated surfaces of the parts.

Box volume in liters?

A five-speed gearbox holds about 3.3 liters of gear oil, a four-speed gearbox holds about 3.0 liters.

What kind of oil should I put in the box?

The manufacturer recommends the following brands of oils:

1. Reksol T (80W-85; GL-4)
2. Volnez TM4” (80W-90; GL-4)
3. Omskoil trans P (80W-85; GL-4/5)

How to change the oil in a VAZ 2108 box with your own hands

Changing the oil in the gearbox, like changing the oil in the engine, is done “hot”, that is, immediately after a trip, when the oil is warm and in a more liquid state. This work is carried out on an inspection pit or a lift.

The upper mark on the dipstick is the optimal level of transmission oil in the gearbox; it is not recommended to pour above the indicated mark, since in this case oil may leak from the gearbox. The bottom mark on the dipstick is the minimum permissible level, after which it is necessary to add oil to the box. If this is not done or not noticed in time, you can cause irreparable damage to the gearbox parts, after which it will very soon fail.

Changing the oil in a VAZ 2108 gearbox - step-by-step instructions

1. Remove the rubber cap, then wash it and use a wire to clean the hole in the breather, then install it back.

2. Place a waste oil container under the drain hole.

3. Now unscrew the oil drain plug.

1. Carefully drain the oil. Wait some time for the used gear oil to completely drain into the container.
2. Screw in the oil drain plug.
3. Before changing the oil in the VAZ 2108 gearbox, remove the oil level dipstick.
4. Take a can of oil or a special oil can and pour clean oil into the hole.

8. Now you need to clean the dipstick from any remaining old oil and measure the oil level in the gearbox.

9. To do this, put the dipstick in place, then remove it again and make sure that the oil level is within the upper and lower marks. As I already said, it’s better when the level is at the top mark.

10. On more “ancient” old-style transmissions (without a dipstick), the filler neck is located on the right side of the gearbox housing.

11. Unscrew the cap, then pour oil into the box using a syringe. The optimal level will be the level of the lower edge of the oil filler hole.

That's all about changing the oil in the gearbox, now all that's left is to wash your hands and start using it.

Required oil level in the VAZ 2107 engine crankcase

Absolutely all engines that were installed on the “classic” until recently have the same filling tanks. So, for example, the engine oil should be 3.75 liters. It is not always possible to mark this level yourself, since not every canister has a transparent scale. Therefore, you also need to navigate using the dipstick. Each dipstick has special MIN and MAX marks, which indicate the minimum and maximum permissible oil level in the internal combustion engine. It is necessary to fill until the level is between these two marks, approximately in the middle.

Roughly speaking, when changing the oil in a VAZ 2107 engine, you will need a canister with a volume of 4 liters, since it will be drained almost completely. In many service stations, when refueling, auto mechanics fill the entire canister, since 250 grams do not play a special role, provided that they are more than the recommended value.

When and how often do you need to change the gearbox oil review and tips

If you love to ride, you also love to change the oil in the gearbox! A completely natural question: “When to change the oil in the gearbox?” But let's figure this out.

Oil helps the gearbox feel good, namely its quality. There is often a debate among car enthusiasts: is it worth changing the gearbox oil at all? It would seem, why not? But the fact is that problems with the gearbox happen so rarely that other parts of the car are more likely to break down when the transmission still feels quite vigorous.

The car no longer drives at all, but she is still quite well. And therefore, many believe that the gearbox does not need to replace the fluid at all: all you need is the factory binder addition and drive as much as you like. But this is not entirely the right approach.

When is the best time to replace?

If there are strange sounds in the box

During the operation of the gearbox, moisture and metal particles get into it, torn from the gears during their wear. And this leads to a loss of quality and regulatory functions of the checkpoint. Therefore, while shifting gears, listen for strange sounds that you have not noticed before. This may include grinding, buzzing, buzzing or howling sounds.

If upon inspection it is clear that the oil has turned black and smells of burning

To be completely sure, you need to inspect the fluid using a dipstick to check the level. If it turns black and emits a burning smell, then perhaps the time has come when it is simply necessary to change the lubricant.

Depending on mileage

Depending on the car manufacturer and operating conditions, the mileage at which it is advisable to change the oil varies. Some experts advise changing after 30-40 thousand km, others say replacing after 50-60 thousand km. There is also an opinion that changing a viscous fluid after a mileage of 100-130 thousand km, after the previous replacement, is normal practice.

Of course, although the gearbox is a stable part of the car, replacing it after 60 thousand km will be the best and sufficient option. As most experienced specialists recommend. When buying a used car, it is advisable to also replace it, because who knows the last time the previous owner did this.

What kind of oil should I fill in?

Contrary to the opinions and statements of automakers that you can also fill in motor oils, know that it is gear oils that need to be used for gearboxes. This is probably what most auto repair shops will tell you.

There are different types of oils: MTF and ATF, which corresponds to mechanical and automatic types of gearboxes. Both types can be purchased at almost any car service center or specialized stores.

But here the question arises: on what basis is it better to make your choice?

Types of transmission fluids

1. Synthetic - have in their features very high performance and characteristics, as well as an equally high price.
2. Semi-synthetic - quality and price are the most appropriate and optimal, therefore oily liquids on this basis are most popular.
3. Mineral base.

How much does it cost to replace hydraulics?

This is a really burning question - how much does an oil change cost? Oil prices are rising right before our eyes, and it needs to be changed, otherwise there will be even more expensive repairs. So let's discuss this issue. Since the dollar “jumps”, and with it prices, we will start from this monetary unit.

On average, a liter of gearbox fluid costs around $4-8. And the average gearbox of a passenger car holds about 4 liters.

Here also write down the cost item directly for the lubricant change itself. As we wrote above, we strongly recommend using the services of a car service. You can order either a partial or complete fluid replacement from them. The first will cost about 600-800 rubles, and the second – about 1200.

Why is there such a big spread? The thing is that in the first case everything is done manually, but in the second a special automatic machine will be used, which will completely wash out the old lubricant from the system and introduce new one into it.

Also note that in case of a complete replacement, the amount of fluid should be greater, about one and a half to two times.

Which replacement to choose is up to you.
