What gear oils are suitable for a gazelle. How to change the oil in the gearbox of a gazelle car. When to change the oil

the main / Checkpoint

The durability of the gears in the engine is achieved provided that the oil is changed in the Gazelle gearbox or the normalized initial correct filling of oil. The last operation is carried out at the car factory. Further it is carried out by the driver independently or at the service station.

The total number of simultaneously rubbing parts in modern car Gazelle Next is concentrated in the gearbox assembly. The durability of gears and shafts is extended in a rational way - rubbing elements are placed in an environment filled with liquid lubricating consistencies.

The unit filled according to the technological level with the recommended oils ensures stable long-term operation of the gearbox. In particular applies to domestic car sable. Drivers constantly monitor the oil level in the gearbox. They read the instructions, find out what type of lubricant should be used.

As for domestic cars, for example, the amount of oil needed in the Gazelle gearbox is poured, guided by the instruction manual for the transmission unit. For modification 2705, 406, 3302, and so on, use the Next lubricant. They are changed every 60 thousand kilometers.

Since the car is operated all year round in not the most ideal weather and road conditions, then control over the quality of the oil used must be constant. Check for metal debris, loss of lubricity. Increased performance requires an oil change.

Selection of oil for Gazelle

Gearbox - unit located in permanent work if the car is moving on the road. A car every day for several hours in a row performs tasks for the transportation of goods, passengers, and so on. We need a selection of special lubricating fluids for the Gazelle.

Practice shows that it is better to purchase expensive types of lubricating fluids than cheap counterparts. It is not worth neglecting the recommendations, since the money saved on the purchase of cheap oil will certainly be used to repair the gearbox.

Experienced drivers buy it from manufacturers who have purchased it on a liquid marketplace, a well-deserved success. Recommended by referring to practice experienced drivers, acquire for future use, which is an indicator of the reasonable elimination of future problems. When visiting a car dealership, you should buy the selected lubricant one liter more than it should be. The remainder will serve as a top-up when the oil in the gearbox drops. It is recommended to use the type of lubricant that was used a priori for refilling.

Domestic cars of the above modifications drive along the roads of Siberia, the Far East, Kaliningrad, Sochi. Depending on the climatic conditions of operation, oils of special performance characteristics... In Siberia, where the air temperature is low, they buy low viscosity. And, conversely, analogs with increased viscosity are suitable in Sochi.

The viscosity of the type of oil that the gearbox receives into its crankcase directly affects operational capabilities unit. The choice of lubricants for this characteristic is not always found in the instruction books attached to cars.

The engine of the Ulyanovsk Motor Plant requires an oil with a viscosity set by the SAE 75W standard.

It should be noted that lubricants correspond to this standard:

manol 75W80;
castrol 75W140;
total 75W80;
magnum 75W80.

Separately, there is a lubricating transmission fluid called Cummins. The versatility of the oil has been proven not only by domestic cars.

Additives in the Gazelle checkpoint

The integration of mineral additives into oils that meet the standard raises their density and viscosity to a new level. It becomes unusable, reaching -45 C °. The indicator makes it possible to apply the lubricant in almost all regions of the country.

They check how much oil has "leaked" after 20 thousand kilometers of the Gazelle. This is a mandatory recommended check and cannot be ignored. Even when the motorist did not find on outside visible leakage box body. If necessary, change the lubricant.

The documents for the operation of cars of the domestic automobile plant do not indicate how much volume should be poured into the gearbox crankcase. But logic dictates that lubricant should be poured into the 5-speed box so that the liquid is equal to the level indicated on the case. An oversized mortar (motorist slang: a box of increased speeds), requires more lubricating fluid.

The more gearbox steps, the more often the oil should be changed.

Operational practice and Maintenance of cars of this brand Gazelle shows that the more often the driver switches gears, the more intensively the fluid poured into the gearbox becomes clogged. No matter how effective the lubricating film covers the gears rubbing against each other, an abrasive contact is still created, filling the oil structure with microscopic metal chips.

Atomic oil loses its original viscosity, darkens, and performs the function assigned to it weaker. The main thing here is not to lose vigilance, but to top up the lubricating fluid in a timely manner to a specific level or replace the oil if it does not meet the conditional parameters in terms of lubricating characteristics.

Algorithm for checking and replacing oil in a Gazelle

Check the level of the lubricating liquid of the Gazelle gearbox as follows:

The filler neck is cleaned from dirt;
Use a clean rag, wiping the crankcase locations adjacent to the "breather";
Turn the lid a certain number of times.

In cars of this modification, there are several ways to check the level of the filled oil. It is easy to make sure whether there is a lot of it or not enough on a car that has driven 20 kilometers before the control. There should be no slope. Wait for the oil to drain from the walls into the crankcase.

Unscrew the plug, watch the channel. If it starts to flow in a thin stream, then this is a signal that the level in the crankcase is below the level. In this case, a syringe is used. With its help, a lubricating fluid is added and again observes. If the leak stops, it means that the oil level is correct. After that, the cork is screwed on. The process takes 20 minutes. Maybe more if the check is carried out not on an overpass, but on a car inspection hole dug out with your own hands.

The procedure for the oil "recovery" of the transmission unit will require the preparation of instrumentation. A bucket will be used to drain the waste fluid. Syringe for adding lubricant. Rags and canister of new grease.

It is strictly forbidden to operate a car with a critical lubricant level. The normal switching of speeds will be complicated, and subsequently the box may fail. A low oil level can create air entrapments (plugs), causing a lack of lubricant for gears and bearings.

Experienced drivers are able to determine underfilling by the noise of the box oil liquid... But in order to have such experience, professional flair, you need to spend many hours behind the wheel of a car.

Conclusion

The article discusses the important issue of the correct use of oil for the Gazelle gearbox with increased or reduced speed of a car. It all depends on the correct filling of the lubricating liquid material into the crankcase. this car and its modifications. The main thing is to regularly monitor the external condition of the box.

Video instruction

Depends on the operation of the gearbox in any car. Therefore, it is always important to pay attention to the fluid change in the gearbox and its level. We invite you to find out with how much oil to fill in the Gazelle box, which liquid is better to choose and how the replacement process itself takes place.

In any car, you should always monitor the level of transmission oil (hereinafter - TM) in the gearbox. And Gazelle is no exception in this case. Therefore, for those who decided to independently replace the fluid in the gearbox at home, this material will be useful.

Which oil is best for you?

In the gearbox of the above car, the transmission fluid does not change as often as in the engine. The manufacturer recommends that consumers change the fluid at least once every 4-5 years or every 75 thousand kilometers, whichever comes first. According to Gazelle car owners, it is better to replace the fluid every four years or more often, or once every 60 thousand kilometers. In practice, the TM in the checkpoint deteriorates and loses its properties more often, therefore, experts recommend replacing the fluid more often than the manufacturer advises.

The Gazelle undergoes many tests during operation. And from this very often the gearbox itself suffers. This unit is especially difficult when the car owner fills in a substandard or inappropriate technical parameters TM.

So what is the best oil to choose for your Gazelle? Probably every happy owner of a Gazelle car asked such a question. And not in vain, because the optimal operation of the unit depends on the properties and characteristics of the TM in the gearbox. Unfortunately, the car manufacturer does not give clear recommendations as to which brand of TM should be filled. However, the operating instructions say that the viscosity marking of the fluid must be "SAE 75W".

When choosing a TM, several factors should be taken into account:

First of all, these are the recommendations of specialists automobile concern... Recommendations should not be neglected. If the specialists of the GAZ plant advise to fill in TM with certain properties, then it is better to buy a more expensive TM.
Even with frozen TM crankshaft the car will be able to crank the gearbox shaft, but the gearbox itself will definitely not be able to crank the bridge, so the fluid must be resistant to negative temperatures.

In practice, the majority of motorists fill their cars with TM "Castrol 75w-140", "Total 75W-80". Latest brand liquid is the most common when buying to replace TM in the Gazelle checkpoint. This TM is mineral and has the following technical characteristics:

the viscosity index at an engine operating temperature of 100 degrees is 8 mm2 / s;
the viscosity index at an engine operating temperature of 40 degrees is 49 mm2 / s;
the density of the consumable is 877 kg / m3 at a temperature of 15 degrees;
the pour point of the liquid is -45 degrees Celsius of the ambient temperature;
the ignition temperature of TM is 208 degrees.

What is the volume of the Gazelle checkpoint and how many TMs will you need to replace?

The volume of the checkpoint is a sore point for the owners of Gazelles, since the manufacturer does not indicate a clear capacity of the box. Therefore, the question "how much does the gearbox fit" is asked quite often on the Internet. According to technical data, the volume of TM in a box can range from 1.2 to 1.6 liters - it all depends on the modification of the car. However, the manufacturer does not specify that the units themselves may differ in volume even in one version of the car. And this means that the volume of the liquid to be poured can fluctuate.

It should be noted that fluctuations in the volume of TM may depend on the number of speeds in the car, the physical size of the gears and other factors. After analyzing the information on the Web, as well as the reviews of car owners, we can say with confidence that two liters of TM is quite enough for all variants of the Gazelle checkpoint.

General instructions for replacing TM

If you know which TM suits you, then we suggest that you familiarize yourself with step by step instructions by changing TM.

What do you need?

Before starting the process of work, you should prepare everything that you may need, namely:

hex key 12;
syringe for collecting TM;
rags;
acetone;
container or pallet for collecting waste TM;
new TM (2 liters);
one liter of motor or transmission fluid(for flushing the checkpoint);
300 grams of kerosene or diesel.

You also need to find a place where you will change the TM. An overpass or garage with a pit will do.

Step-by-step instructions for flushing the unit and replacing the substance

Before changing the TM directly, it is necessary to warm up the car so that the fluid in the unit is more fluid. After that, you can drive into the pit or overpass.

Now you should know how much consumable material is needed for the box of your Gazelle, how to change it correctly and which TM is suitable for this. If you are not sure that you can properly carry out this process, then it is better to seek professional help.

Video "How to choose the right gear oil"

This video shows you how to choose the right gear oil for your gearbox.

Fill the gearbox with 1.2 liters of gear oil.

It is necessary to fill in the transmission SAE oil 75W-85 or 75W-90.

For this work, you will need a 12-inch hex wrench, a container for draining the oil, a syringe - a blower.

We drain the oil from the gearbox immediately after the trip, until it has cooled down.

We install the car on a lift or a viewing ditch.

We clean the breather from contamination

Turn off the hex key "12" drain plug

Drain the oil into a wide container with a volume of at least two liters.

If the used oil is dark in color or metal particles are visible in it, we rinse the gearbox, for which we install the drain plug in place by cleaning its magnet from steel shavings

Turn off the hex key "12" filler plug side of the crankcase.

With an oil syringe, fill the box with about one liter of the mixture of transmission or engine oil with 20-30% kerosene or diesel fuel and install the filler plug in place

Substituting stops under the front wheels, we hang out the rear wheel or axle as a whole.

Having included the first gear, we start the engine for 2-3 minutes.

Having installed the car on wheels, we completely drain flushing oil(duration of draining is not less than 5 minutes).

Having cleaned the drain plug again, we wrap it in place with a key.

After unscrewing the filler plug, fill the gearbox with fresh gear oil (1.2 l) with an oil syringe.

We wrap the filler plug in place.

For quality protection from friction and damage to rubbing parts in the gearbox of a Gazelle car, it is necessary to control the level of lubricant in it. Therefore, you need to know how to determine how much oil is in the Gazelle box and what kind of lubricant should be poured into the gearshift device.

How often an oil change is required

If you carefully read the operating instructions for the GAZelle 402, 405, 406, 2705, 3302, Next, Business and other models, it will become clear that the transmission oil in the gearbox of this car should be replaced after 60 thousand km of run.

In addition, the conditions in which the car operates affect the frequency of lubrication changes. Basically, GAZelle cars are operated all year round and have a high mileage, and the operating conditions of the car are not always ideal.

Choosing a lubricant

The smooth operation of the gearbox, as well as the replacement time, largely depend on the quality and characteristics of the engine oil.

In the video from the user Mechanic, you can learn more about the choice of transmission fluid for a GAZelle car.

Choosing a lubricant for the GAZelle gearbox should take into account the following factors:

Machine manufacturer's recommendations for lubricants which are prescribed certain requirements. It is best to use more expensive and high quality oils, since saving money on lubricants can cost a lot to repair the unit.
When choosing a brand of oil, it is necessary to take into account not only the operating conditions of the machine (ambient temperature, road surface condition, total mileage), but also the manufacturer of the transmission fluid, as well as its reputation in the automotive market.
Purchase "transmission" should be about 1 liter more than required for replacement. It will be needed in the future when refilling, and you only need to add the oil that was filled in earlier.

When choosing an oil, a lot depends on the climate in which the car is operated. In areas with low temperatures air for the winter is filled with a liquid of lower viscosity than in the southern regions.

Not always in service books there are recommendations for the car about the lubricant. For example, an instruction manual for a car with UMP engine does not give specific instructions for the choice of oil, only a viscosity that meets the SAE 75W standard is recommended.

Trans Gipoid 80W90 SUPER T-3 85W90 Castrol 75W140 HD SAE 85W140

Oil of the following brands corresponds to such indicators:

Castrol 75W140;
Magnum 75W80;
Total 75W80;
Manol 75W80.

The presence of mineral additives in lubricants that meet the SAE 75W standard can improve their characteristics, including density and viscosity. Such oils freeze at a temperature of about -45 ° C, which allows them to be used in almost all regions of the Russian Federation.

About level control

The lubrication level of the unit is checked after every 20 thousand km. This should be done even when no visible leaks are found. If the lubricant level has dropped for any reason, the transmission oil is topped up in the gearbox housing.

The operating instructions for GAZelle cars do not indicate a specific amount of lubricant to be added to the gearbox, since, depending on the modification of the car, the amount of oil can be in the range of 1.2-1.6 liters. Therefore, we advise you to purchase liquid in a 2 liter canister, its possible surplus will be useful for refilling.

Before you start checking the fluid level, you need to thoroughly clean the breather, its cover and the nearby surface of the gearbox housing, after which you should turn the plug several times. The amount of grease is on the lower edge of the filler hole, so cleaning from dirt is essential.

Let us consider in more detail the process of monitoring the oil level in the gearbox of the GAZelle car:

You need to check the amount only on a warmed up checkpoint. To do this, it will be enough to drive 10-15 kilometers.
The machine should be parked on an overpass or inspection pit, even a slight tilt in the horizontal plane is unacceptable.
It is necessary to allow the grease to drain from the walls to the bottom of the crankcase. During this time, carefully wipe the filler cap with a rag, which is also a control one.
It is necessary to unscrew the plug and observe the hole. If a thin stream of lubricant flows through it, this is not an indication of a normal oil level. Next, you need to add liquid to the gearbox with a syringe and check it again.
Stopping the flow of lubricant after topping up will indicate a normal level of fluid in the system.
Now you can tighten the plug and continue to operate the vehicle.

Important! It is only necessary to add grease to the gearbox of a car of the type that was previously filled.

It is unacceptable to operate the car with a low oil level in the Gazelle Next gearbox and other models. Since insufficient volume can provoke air locks, which will affect the amount of lubricant entering the gears and bearings of the gearbox.

Drain and filler plug

Replacement instructions

If the required volume of transmission oil for replacement is prepared, the location of the operation is selected, then you can change the "transmission" in the box.

Required tools

To replace, you should prepare:

container for collecting "mining";
syringe to pour new grease;
wiping material;
new filling oil.

In some cases, flushing the gearbox crankcase will be required. This will be evidenced by the presence of metal shavings on the drain plug magnet. Then you should additionally prepare about 1 liter.

In the video from the Gazelisty Ukraine channel, you can watch about replacing the grease at the Gazelle checkpoint.

About the order of performing the operation

How much oil is in the GAZelle box - we found out, let's talk about how it is replaced. Such an operation is carried out only on a warmed-up gearbox of the car, since this allows you to completely drain the "working off".

The machine is installed on a viewing pit or overpass. Stops are placed under the wheels.
Thoroughly clean the drain and filler caps from accumulated dirt.
Unscrew the drain plug, after placing a container under the crankcase for collecting "working off".
Drain the grease, this will take about 20 minutes.
Inspect the drain plug for metal shavings. If it is noticed, flush the gearbox crankcase.
The cleaned lid is wrapped in place and the filler is unscrewed. Depending on the vehicle's equipment, it can be located both on the left and with right side Checkpoint.
The required amount of grease is added to the open filler hole with a syringe. Continue pouring until oil flows out of the hole.
The cork is wiped and put in place.

If you don't have a syringe at hand, you can change the oil without it. In this case, new grease is poured through the hole for the gear lever. Dismantling it will not be difficult. For this, the protection in the form of a cover is removed, and then the lever is turned out. The required volume of liquid must be poured into the resulting hole in the crankcase, observing its appearance in the control hole.

Hole for gear lever

Replacement cost

Many owners of GAZelle cars change the oil in the gearbox on their own. In this case, the cost of the procedure will include only the price Supplies... In addition to new lubricant, flushing and solvent may be required. The oil will cost the buyer from 500 to 1000 rubles, the flushing liquid - 400-700 rubles, the solvent is about 200 rubles. The purchase amount depends on the manufacturer, product type and retail outlet.

Contacting a service center will cost a little more. In addition to the price of "consumables", the cost for the operation is taken into account. This figure depends on the category of the service center: the more popular it is, the more expensive it is. The car owner will need to prepare for payment from 500 to 1000 rubles just for work.

On the consequences of untimely replacement

During the operation of the machine transmission oils lose their qualities:

the extreme pressure properties of the oil are reduced;
deteriorates lubricating ability;
the viscosity of the liquid decreases.

As a result, gearbox parts such as gears, bearings, synchronizers can fail. And the cost of their restoration will be several times higher than the price of transmission oil and consumables.

What kind of oil to fill in the Gazelle box when self-replacement and how to do it correctly? For normal operation of this car, a suitable lubricant must be poured into the transmission, which will not interfere with the operation of the mechanism.

Important features

Domestic cars of the Gazelle brand are widespread in Russia and neighboring countries, so we will take a closer look at which oil is better to pour into the Gazelle checkpoint and how to do it correctly? These vehicles are used as cargo or passenger vehicles, so the operating conditions are quite harsh.

IN technical regulations it is said to the car which oil to fill in the Gazelle box, but many car owners neglect this. Also, some motorists simply do not have such technical documentation as they buy vehicles in the used car markets. For such people, we have prepared this material, in which we will consider in detail suitable oils at the Gazelle checkpoint.

Many car owners domestic production Gazelle brands note that it is better to replace the transmission fluid every 60 thousand kilometers. During operation of the vehicle, the gearbox is experiencing rather high loads, which do not always correspond to those calculated by the automaker.

Which oil to choose?

Consider the question, which oil is better in the Gazelle gearbox so that the car will last longer? The automaker itself does not give specific recommendations on changing the oil in the gearbox and on which oil is better for the Gazelle gearbox? The instructions only indicate the recommended viscosity of the lubricant - SAE 75W. It is this viscosity that should be the liquid that you will pour into the car's transmission. We do not recommend pouring oils with a lower or higher viscosity index into the gearbox, as this will disrupt the operation of the gearbox and the entire car as a whole.

When choosing a TM brand, you need to take into account the manufacturer's recommendations, but in addition it is better to study forums and other information materials. Even when the oil specified by the automaker turns out to be too expensive, it is better to choose it, since cheaper analogues can cost more due to the subsequent costs of repairing an expensive transmission breakdown. It is important to take into account the natural and climatic conditions in which it is planned to operate vehicle.

The gazelle is operated year-round in different conditions, but if the transmission oil freezes, it will cease to perform its main functions. Thus, you should try to select exactly the oil that will maintain performance even at negative ambient temperatures. If you live in northern regions with harsh winters, consult with car owners about what kind of oil to fill in the Gazelle box. This will allow you to avoid the mistakes that beginners usually make.

Now we will more specifically consider how much and what kind of Gazelle gearbox oil is better to fill? This question is rather complicated, since the automaker does not indicate the exact volume of fluid in the transmission in the technical documentation. Rather, there is some data - from 1.2 to 1.6 liters, depending on the specific transmission model. In fact, the owners of these cars know that even in the gearboxes of one lineup the amount of lubricant in the transmission may vary.

Having decided what kind of oil to fill in the Gazelle box, we recommend buying two liters of fluid at once - this volume should be enough for any transmission. As we said, you need to buy a grease with an SAE 75W viscosity - this can be:

Magnum 75W-80
Total 75W-80 and other brands.

The same oil is poured into the business class Gazelle checkpoint. Due to the content of mineral substances in gear oils, they have good technical characteristics. For example, the viscosity is usually quite high and capable of providing long-term operation of the Gazelle transmission. The quality of the density of the raw materials is also quite high, and the pour point of the above oils for the Gazelle gearbox is approximately -45 degrees. Therefore, you will be able to operate the vehicle all year round in all regions of the Russian Federation.

What will you need to replace?

Before changing the transmission oil in the Gazelle, it is necessary to prepare all necessary tools and devices, including:

hexagon 12;
oil filling syringe;
rags;
new oil for the Gazelle gearbox in a volume of 2 liters;
acetone;
container for draining old oil;
300 g of kerosene.

Prepare a place for changing the oil in the Gazelle gearbox - it can be a pit, a lift or an overpass.

Moving on to fluid replacement

First, you need to clean the gearbox breather from dust and dirt using rags soaked in acetone. Then climb under the bottom and look for the unit on which the drain plug should be located. Using a 12 hexagon wrench, unscrew this bolt, having previously prepared a container for draining the transmission fluid and placing it under the drain hole. The oil from the Gazelle checkpoint will drain for about 20 minutes, so be patient.

If the old oil is dark or you have metal shavings in it, we recommend flushing the unit. Tighten the drain plug, having previously cleaned off the dirt. Find the filler plug on the side and unscrew it using the hexagon.

Using a syringe filled with oil, pour about a liter of fluid into the transmission. You can use a motor vehicle or a motor vehicle, and also add about 300 ml of kerosene or diesel fuel.

Tighten the filler plug and place the stops under the front wheels. Start the engine and shift gears for a few minutes. Next, go under the bottom and again unscrew the drain bolt, substituting a suitable container for working off.

Wait 15 minutes for the glass rinsing fluid to complete. Clean the plug again and screw it in place with the Allen key. Unscrew the filler plug and, using the same syringe, fill in new gear oil for the Gazelle gearbox. Fill in liquid until that moment. Until it starts pouring out of the hole, a total of at least 1.2 liters will enter.

Replace the filler plug and go on a short trip to check the unit for leaks. After that, climb under the bottom again and see if there are any smudges. Now you know what kind of oil to pour into the Gazelle checkpoint and how much you need.
