Motor and transmission oils for Opel Corsa. Opel Corsa. The engine is coked, soot in the engine Opel Korsa 1.2 gearbox oil

Changing the transmission oil is an important feature when performing Maintenance. Lubricant does not allow metal elements to come into contact with each other. If this happens, then the technological unit becomes unusable. To prevent this from happening, the oil in a manual transmission also needs to be changed every few years. Although vehicle manufacturers are against the implementation of such procedures.

Why is it necessary to change the oil in the manual transmission?

The transmission oil on the Opel Corsa D serves to facilitate the operation of this unit. During the driving period, the gearbox is subject to significant loads and difficult tests. During operation, bearings, shafts and gears are constantly in contact with each other. There is a frictional force between the gears. To reduce wear, a special transmission fluid appropriate viscosity.

Other functions of transmission oil:

• Heat removal from the internal elements of the transmission;
• Decrease in wear and increase in the resource of the technological unit;
• Rust removal.

If bad car oil was poured into the car's transmission, then the car will show it in every possible way with its behavior, namely:

• Noise in the box;
• The vehicle does not move;
• Unable to engage first gear;
• Another breakdown.

Oil leak and breakage

If there is an oil leak from the box, you need to deal with the cause.

There are two types of reasons for the laboriousness of eliminating leaks:

• Easily removable;
• Difficult to remove.

If a car owner loves looking after their car, they can easily spot an oil leak from the box. The first step is to measure the drops on the asphalt surface. If it is indeed liquid from your own vehicle, the leak must be repaired:

The causes described above are quickly diagnosed. They do not require large material costs.

Eliminating complex causes will take time and money. Sometimes it is necessary to involve specialists to eliminate such causes.

Intractable causes of oil leakage from manual transmission Opel corsa D:

It is not possible to replace the sealing element on the actuator yourself. It is necessary to remove the gearbox. To do this, use special equipment... It is necessary to contact the specialists at the service station.

In other cases, oil leaks can be repaired on their own.

The process of changing the oil in the manual transmission

If the gearbox breaks down and needs to be repaired, in most cases the oil changes. However, the oil is changed not only due to breakage, but also due to contamination. To carry out this process on Opel car Corsa D, special tool required:

• A set of wrenches and hex keys;
• Screwdriver;
• Pliers;
• Metal brush;
• Gloves and special clothing;
• Waste fluid container;
• Fresh oil.

it full list tools for changing the oil in the manual transmission on the Opel Corsa D.

Before starting the replacement procedure, you will need to carry out a test drive - 10-15 kilometers will help warm up the oil to working temperature... This condition will provide the fluid with maximum fluidity.

Step-by-step instructions for changing the oil in the manual transmission on the Opel Corsa D:

1. Install vehicle on a flat surface. Use a flyover, inspection pit or a lift.
2. Get to the bottom of the car. Remove the pallet protection. Use wrenches and a screwdriver.
3. A view of the drain plug will open. Clean the area around drain plug brushed for metal. Place a container for used oil under the opening. Unscrew the plug carefully.
4. Wait for the oil to drain completely. About 15-20 minutes.
5. Proceed to dismantle the pallet. To do this, unscrew all bolts around the perimeter. Maintain the horizontal position of the pallet. Disconnect carefully and pour residual oil into a container for waste fluid.
6. Clean the inside of the pallet with a metal brush. Wipe with a clean cloth. Place the pallet back. Tighten all bolts with the same tension.
7. Tighten the drain plug. Replace if necessary. This will help reduce the likelihood of oil leakage after overpressure builds up in the system.
8. Fill in new car oil through the inspection hole. Use a syringe. Fill up to level. Screw on the drain hole.
9. Carry out a test drive for 10-15 kilometers. While driving, you need to change gears. Return to starting point.
10. Check oil level. Top up if necessary.

The system oil change procedure is complete.

Check the oil level from time to time. Oil starvation leads to unpleasant consequences... At insufficient level liquid it urgently needs to be refilled. You can use a pharmacy syringe or a special tool to fill in new lubricant.

Engine oil must be replaced every 10,000 km.
For a new car, it is necessary to change the oil after the end of the running-in (after 2500 km). When changing the oil, be sure to install a new one. oil filter(engine ZMZ-4062) or its filter element (all engines). Oil change procedure see subsections 2.3.2, 2.3.2.2 and 2.3.3.3 .

Into the crankcase it is recommended to fill in oil of the same brand as was in the engine. If another brand of oil is poured in, you must first flush the engine lubrication system with the oil of the same brand that will be poured into the engine. To do this, drain the old oil, fill in new oil 2–4 mm above the “0” mark on the oil level indicator (dipstick). Start the engine and let it run for Idling about 10 min. Then drain the oil, replace the oil filter or its filter element and fill with fresh oil.

Coolant must be changed once every 2 years or after 60,000 kilometers (whichever comes first). Coolant replacement procedure see subsection 2.4.4... It should be borne in mind that the coolant is poisonous, so it should not be sucked in by mouth when transfusing. It is recommended to wear protective goggles when working with coolant and not to smoke or eat. If liquid comes into contact with exposed skin, wash with soap and water.

Gearbox oil must be replaced after 60,000 km. Oil change procedure see in subsections 3.3.2 and 3.4.2 ... Every 20,000 km, check the oil level in the gearbox and top up if necessary. The oil level in the crankcase must reach the edge of the filler hole. If the drained oil contains metal particles or is very dirty, flush the box. To do this, pour 0.9 liters of fresh oil into its crankcase. Jack up the rear of the vehicle. Start the engine and, engaging first gear, let it run for 2-3 minutes. Then drain the oil and refill with fresh oil. When checking the oil level, you need to clean the surface of the breather from dirt and turn its cap several times to remove dirt that has got under it.

Rear axle crankcase oil must be changed after 60,000 km. The oil is changed in the same way as in the gearbox. After 20,000 km, check the oil level in the crankcase and top up if necessary. The oil level should be up to the edge of the filler hole. When checking the oil level, the breather must be cleaned of dirt in the same way as was done for the gearbox.

Do not use re-drained brake fluid.

Brake fluid in the clutch and brake drives, it is necessary to change once every 2 years, regardless of the vehicle's mileage. Brake fluids are used in clutch and brake drives domestic production"Rosa", "Rosa-3", "Tom", "Neva" or their foreign counterparts on a non-oil basis, the quality level of which is not lower than DOT-3. Use other brands of fluids, especially petroleum based fluids, prohibited.

Brake fluid is hygroscopic and must therefore not be stored in an open container.

The procedure for replacing the brake fluid is as follows:

1. Remove the brake master cylinder reservoir cover.

2. Remove the rubber protective caps from the air release valves on the wheel cylinders and put rubber hoses on the valves, the ends of which are lowered into glass vessels.

3. Unscrew the valves no more than one turn and, pressing the brake pedal all the way down, drain the fluid. As the flow of fluid from the hoses stops, tighten the air release valves.

4. Pour the drained brake fluid from the vessels and put them back in place.

5. Pour fresh fluid into the reservoir of the master cylinder, unscrew all the air release valves one turn and, pressing the brake pedal all the way, fill the brake system. In this case, you need to constantly add fluid to the master cylinder reservoir. After a clean brake fluid, screw on the valves.

6. Bleed the brake system to remove air from it ( see subsection 6.9).

7. Close the brake master cylinder reservoir with a plug. Remove hoses from air release valves and put protective caps on them.

In the same way, replace the fluid in the clutch hydraulic drive.

Functions ATF oils in the automatic transmission Opel Korsa:

• effective lubrication of rubbing surfaces and mechanisms;
• reduction of the mechanical load on the units;
• heat removal;
• removal of microparticles resulting from corrosion or wear of parts.

• wear of automatic transmission oil seals;
• wear of the surfaces of the shafts, the occurrence of a gap between the shaft and the sealing element;
• wear of the automatic transmission sealing element and the speedometer drive shaft;
• play in the input shaft of the automatic transmission;
• damage to the sealing layer in the joints between automatic transmission parts: pallet, automatic transmission housing, crankcase, clutch housing;
• loosening of the bolts that ensure the connection of the above-mentioned parts of the automatic transmission;

Due to a lack of oil or poor-quality oil in the Opel Corsa automatic transmission:

• plungers and channels of the valve body are clogged with mechanical particles, which leads to a shortage of oil in the packages and provokes wear of the sleeve, rubbing pump parts, etc.;
• overheat and wear out quickly steel wheels gear boxes;
• rubberized pistons, thrust discs, clutch drum, etc; overheat and burn out;
• the valve body wears out and becomes unusable.

When choosing an Opel Corsa automatic transmission oil for replacement, you should be guided by a simple principle: it is best to use an oil recommended by Opel. Moreover, instead of mineral oil you can fill in semi-synthetic or synthetic, but in no case should you use oil "lower class" from the prescribed one.

Synthetic oil for automatic transmission Opel Korsa is called "irreplaceable", it is poured for the entire service life of the car. Such oil does not lose its properties under the influence high temperature and is designed for the very long life of the Opel Corsa. But we must not forget about the appearance of mechanical suspension as a result of wear of the clutches with a very significant mileage. If the automatic transmission has been operated for some time in conditions of a lack of oil, it is required to check the degree of its contamination and, if necessary, replace it.

Opel Corsa automatic transmission oil change methods:

• Partial oil change in the Opel Corsa box;
• Complete oil change in the Opel Corsa box;

A complete oil change in the Opel Corsa automatic transmission is performed using an automatic transmission oil change unit, by specialists in the car service. In this case, more ATF oil will be required than the Opel Corsa automatic transmission can accommodate. One and a half or double volume of fresh ATF is used for flushing. The cost will be more expensive partial replacement, and not every car service provides such a service.
Partial ATF oil change in the Opel Corsa automatic transmission box according to the simplified scheme:

1. Unscrew the drain plug, drain the old ATF oil;
2. We unscrew the automatic transmission pan, which, in addition to the bolts holding it, is processed along the contour with a sealant.
3. We get access to the automatic transmission filter, it is advisable to change it with each oil change, or rinse it.
4. At the bottom of the pallet there are magnets that are necessary for collecting metal dust and shavings.
5. We clean the magnets and rinse the pan, wipe dry.
6. Install the automatic transmission filter in place.
7. We install the automatic transmission pan in place, replacing the automatic transmission pan gasket if necessary.
8. We tighten the drain plug, replacing the drain plug gasket for the automatic transmission.

Opel Corsa. The engine is coked, soot in the engine

Causes of stickiness and carbon deposits

Engine coking occurs most often due to the use of low quality fuel or the use of "non-native" oil, which actually forms carbon deposits in the combustion chamber. Long-term work in such conditions does not pass without leaving a trace and after a while the entire combustion chamber (walls and bottom) "grows" with carbon deposits from unburned fuel mixture and carbon deposits from exhaust gases. The valves are also partially covered with carbon deposits, and the piston rings lose their mobility and, more simply, “lie”. Due to the thickening of the walls of the combustion chamber, the heat dissipation is impaired.

In addition to low-quality fuel, coking piston rings occurs as a result of driving on a cold engine, with constant driving at low speed (excessive frugality, traffic jams, driving on bad roads). Too neglected specimens had such an amount of soot that their combustion chamber significantly decreased in volume, after which an unpleasant phenomenon appeared in the form of detonation during operation, accompanied by a drop in power and an increase in friction, which in turn simply "ate" the cylinder-piston group. Carbon deposits trapped under the valve cause it to loosely adhere to the seat, which most often results in valve burnout. Loosely closed valves cannot but affect the decrease in compression, and therefore the engine power.

Carbon deposits reasons

Carbon build-up is caused by many factors and is common in all types of engines internal combustion- gasoline and diesel, naturally aspirated and turbocharged, with indirect and direct fuel injection.

Engine deposits are caused by imperfect combustion of the air / fuel mixture. For example, in engines with direct injection of gasoline, one of the causes of carbon deposits is the way fuel is supplied - in this case, gasoline does not wash the valves, but goes directly into the combustion chamber. This causes deposits to build up on the valves and therefore limits the oxygen supply to the combustion chamber over time, which in turn leads to improper combustion of the fuel mixture.

It is not difficult to find other indirect causes of carbon deposits in car engines. They are related to what is behind last years most car enthusiasts have changed the way they use their car. Today more and more people use the car like a bicycle, public transport or for a short walk / trip to the store.

Most often, large deposits accumulate in the engines of vehicles operated in urban mode, over short distances. It doesn't matter what brand and model we are talking about. The way of using the car is important: low speed, low operating temperatures, using the car without warming up the engine

Many modern gasoline engines today are often turbocharged, which means that a turbocharged car in city mode is most often used at low engine speeds. In the upper rev range, turbo engines are rarely used today in urban conditions. But even naturally aspirated modern engines with direct direct injection of gasoline also do not encourage owners to drive at high revs. The fact is that today's naturally aspirated engines generate high torque at low revs quite well. Accordingly, the car owner no longer needs to drive often at high speeds. This is a significant difference between turbine modern motors from engines 20 years ago. Due to lower revs, modern engines take longer to warm up (plus do not forget that many engines today are aluminum, which quickly lose their heating temperature, unlike old cast iron), and low revs do not naturally remove carbon deposits from the engine. As a result, in power unit deposits begin to accumulate on various parts.

Another reason for the formation of carbon deposits is an incorrect oil change and untimely engine maintenance. For example, the main enemy of any internal combustion engine is the increase in engine oil drain intervals. After all, it is known that the longer the oil in the engine does not change, the more by-products are formed in it. Unfortunately, many manufacturers today have deliberately extended their oil change intervals.

Another of the direct causes of carbon buildup is improper engine timing, which is the responsibility of the timing belt / timing chain. Unfortunately, in gasoline engines, the belt and even the chain tend to stretch. This is a problem for many modern engines(the popular TSI / TFSI engines are a good example). If the tension on the chain or belt looses, the timing system becomes out of sync, which in turn leads to improper combustion of the fuel mixture.

How to remove carbon deposits in the engine

One of the most simple ways removing carbon deposits is the so-called engine flushing special composition... For this, a special flushing agent is used, which is poured into the engine when you change the oil. You can flush the engine yourself. You can also order this service from the service when you arrive to carry out a standard oil change. However, in this case you will pay extra for it.

The only one really effective method Cleaning the engine is disassembling it and cleaning all parts by hand or mechanically, depending on the component. But such expensive cleaning is usually only advisable for engines that already have many problems and cannot be cleaned otherwise. In any case, such work will be very expensive, especially considering the amount of work.

Opel Corsa is German car B-class, serial production of which has been carried out by General Motors since 1982.

In 2000, the manufacturer introduced the third generation, called the Opel Corsa C. This model was available to consumers in the bodies of a three-door and five-door hatchback, as well as a four-door sedan. The car uses the GM Gamma platform. In 2003 year Opel The Corsa has been restyled with minor design changes.
