The gearbox, unlike the engine, does not require frequent oil changes. According to the regulations, the oil in the VAZ 2110 gearbox needs to be changed every 75 thousand km. However, it is necessary to separately take into account the operating characteristics of the vehicle, the quality of the lubricant used, etc. In the case of the 2110, timely replacement and correct selection of transmission oil directly affects the service life of the box, as well as the clarity and smooth operation of the unit.
Moreover, if the gearbox was disassembled due to certain problems, or lubricant leaks from the gearbox occurred, it is also advisable to replace the oil after repair. Next, we will look at how much oil is in the VAZ 2110 gearbox, when it is optimal to change the oil in the gearbox, what kind of oil to fill in the VAZ 2110 gearbox, and also how to change the transmission oil yourself.
REASONS FOR REPLACING TRANSMISSION OIL IN THE VAZ 2107 Gearbox
The gearbox is a unit with a lot of rubbing parts. The frictional force particularly intensely affects the gear teeth in the box, so they become very hot. If the impact of the friction force is not reduced in time, the teeth will begin to collapse, and the service life of the box will be very short.
The five-speed gearbox of the VAZ 2107 is replete with rubbing parts that need lubrication
To reduce friction force, special gear oil is used. But it also has its own service life, after which the oil loses its properties and ceases to perform its functions. The only solution to this problem is to fill the box with a new portion of lubricant.
FREQUENCY OF CHANGING TRANSMISSION OIL
If you look at the operating instructions for the VAZ 2107 car, it says that the transmission oil should be changed every 60–70 thousand kilometers. The problem is that these figures are only valid when the operating conditions of the car are close to ideal, which is not the case in practice. Why? Here are the reasons:
- low quality gear oil. The reality is that the modern car enthusiast often has no idea what exactly he is pouring into the gearbox. It's no secret that fake gear oil is found all the time. Products of well-known brands are especially often counterfeited, and the quality of the counterfeits is often such that only a specialist can recognize them;
- low quality of roads in the country. When driving on bad roads, the load on the gearbox increases significantly. As a result, the lubricant life is developed faster. In addition, the driver’s driving style has a significant impact on the oil life. For some car enthusiasts it is softer, for others it is more aggressive.
Taking into account the above, it is recommended to change the transmission oil after 40–50 thousand kilometers, and it is advisable to buy lubricant only in specialized stores that are official dealers of the selected lubricant brand. This is the only way to minimize the likelihood of purchasing counterfeit gear oil.

Car: VAZ-2112. Asked by: Konstantin Kirilichev. The essence of the question: What oil is best to fill in the VAZ-2112 gearbox, am I going to change it completely?
Good afternoon Please tell me what oil is best to fill in the VAZ-2112 gearbox? I have never changed it, and my mileage is already more than 100 thousand kilometers. I would like to know which manufacturer and other technical parameters are best suited for my car?
How to choose the right gearbox oil?
Today, the situation on the gear oil market looks like such that most of the products presented consist of all-season components capable of stable operation at any time of the year. Therefore, the choice of most car enthusiasts, in the erroneous opinion, consists only of choosing a company, which, as a rule, is well-established and widely known in the market.
All my life I have been surrounded by cars! First, in the village, already in the first grade, I was rushing around on a tractor through the fields, then there was JAVA, then a penny. Now I am a third-year student at the Polytechnic Faculty of Automotive Engineering. I work part-time as a car mechanic and help repair cars for all my friends.
There are some nuances in choosing transmission oil for the VAZ-2112, which we will tell you about in detail below.
What kind of oil should I use?
Checking the oil level after filling a new one
The most important criterion that should be followed when purchasing gear oil is the manufacturer that best protects its products from counterfeit analogues, and the factory recommendation for choosing motor oil, because it contains complete information on the standards for such fluids.
Advice! Buy transmission oils only from trusted sellers, in specialized stores, because choosing “tent” products and chasing cheap analogues can negatively affect the condition of the entire transmission as a whole.
To replace, you will need about 4 liters of transmission oil.
CHECKING THE OIL LEVEL IN THE TRANSMISSION
To check the oil level in the gearbox, you need to do a number of simple steps.
- The car is installed on a viewing hole.
- The oil drain and fill holes on the gearbox are cleaned with a metal brush.
- Using a 17 wrench, unscrew the plug from the hole for adding oil.
The plug from the filler hole is unscrewed with a 17 wrench - The oil level should normally be 4 mm below the edge of the fill hole. The measurement is made using a probe or a regular screwdriver. If the oil goes below 4 mm from the edge of the hole, then it needs to be added to the box using a syringe.

What will be needed for replacement and what materials to choose
To replace the transmission substance in the VAZ 2107 box you will need:
- oil blower (lever grease gun, syringe with elastic tube, rubber hose with watering can);
- set of tools (key 17, hexagon 12);
- containers for used transmission fluid;
- dry rags;
- transmission oil.
Particular attention should be paid to which oil is best suited for the seven-speed gearbox. The answer options vary significantly in the quality level of the product and its cost. The recommendations are full of names of well-known brands for the production of lubricants. Which one to choose is not easy to decide. It is important that the selected transmission fluid is indicated by markings within the range 75W90 - 80W95. The lubricant group should be designated GL-4 or GL-5.
Changing the oil in the gearbox and gearbox!
The mileage on the odometer is slowly approaching the 100,000 km mark, I'm thinking about changing the oil in the gearbox and axle)
I decided to take the synthetic oil XADO Verylube 75W-90 GL 3/4/5. It is slightly cheaper than XADO 75W-90 oil due to the absence of revitalizant. Otherwise, as I understand it, there are no differences. I bought the oil in the official XADO store in our city, from Zhenya Spice69. In addition to 3 liters of oil, I also took 3 liters of flushing oil, since the oil in the transmission has not been changed for a very long time, and there is probably a lot of crap in there, and on top of that - changing the type of oil and mineral water to synthetic. I bought the washing on tap, since it is packaged in 2-liter bags, but I need 3 liters) And it’s a little cheaper)

There is no point in taking 4 liters
Purchases))
Since I have a garage without a pit, I had to solve this issue. In the nearest garage cooperative I found an overpass for 10 UAH/hour.
I stopped by and drained the old used oil from the axle and gearbox. The liquid drained from the box was generally black, and from the gearbox it was a little lighter.
Liquid the color of a dark night :)))

Next, fill in the flush. Since I don’t have a special syringe for pouring oil, I bought a 100 ml syringe at the pharmacy and put a piece of tubing on it for convenience.

The process is moving))
After filling, tighten the plugs, jack up one wheel, engage first gear, and wait 10-15 minutes until the car has covered several kilometers in place))))
We are waiting for the flushing to do its job))
The next step is to drain the rinse. The oil that came out of the box was quite dark, and from the bridge, surprisingly, it was more or less light; unfortunately, there are no photos. Well, now all that’s left to do is fill in new oil) As many people advise, when pouring oil into the box, I jacked up the front left wheel so that a little more oil could be poured into the box than the smart book says) Instead of the required 1.6 liters, I got about 1.7 liters of oil . And 1.3 liters in the gearbox. After the operations performed, we finally check the tightness of all the traffic jams, give the uncle the guard 30 UAH, and we are good to go))) Everything about everything took a little more than an hour, with the help of my best friend Yurik2101klasika))))
Without the help of your best friend - nowhere
