Criteria for selecting VAZ 2107 oil
All oils are selected based on compliance with SAE, ACEA, API. In terms of composition, it is optimal to use semi-synthetics for used VAZs.
- ACEA A3/B3-B4.
- API SF for models up to 2000, for more recent API SG, SJ and higher. VAZ 2107 was produced until 2013 inclusive.
AvtoVAZ offers the following table to select the appropriate viscosity:
| Minimum engine cold start temperature, °C | Viscosity grade according to SAE J 300 | Maximum ambient temperature, °C |
| -35 | 0W-30 | 25 |
| -35 | 0W-40 | 30 |
| -30 | 5W-30 | 25 |
| -30 | 5W-40 | 35 |
| -25 | 10W-30 | 25 |
| -25 | 10W-40 | 35 |
| -20 | 15W-40 | 45 |
| -15 | 20W-40 | 45 |
But most often, drivers pour 10w-40 into models with significant mileage, into more recent 5w-30.
Information on viscosity for a specific engine can be found in the motor oil interchangeability catalog: https://www.northsealubricants.com/en/oil-advisor
The catalog can be trusted, the data is taken from car manufacturers. In this case, you can choose not only oil for the engine, but also for the gearbox, power steering, brake system, and cooling system. That is, all liquids.

Useful tips
Usually, when selecting consumables for a car, the owner only needs to look at the official instruction manual. But in the case of the VAZ-2106, the situation is somewhat different. The cars have not been produced for a long time, plus the manuals are seriously outdated. So going by what the factory recommends doesn’t make much sense. Based on the tips and characteristics given above. With their help, it will be easier for you to make a choice and fill the crankcase with the correct engine oil that corresponds to the current state of affairs. In addition, we will give some useful tips.
- Manufacturer of motor oils. In the case of the VAZ-2106 car, the priority for most drivers will be domestically produced fluids. But many imported compounds are also suitable for the six. Here, focus not on the geographical location of the brand, but on its position in the market. Try to choose mixtures that have been on the market for a long time. This suggests that they produce high-quality compounds that meet the requirements and standards.
- Terms of Use. In our conditions and taking into account the technical features of the VAZ-2106, it is not worth delaying too much with changing the engine fluid. Replacement is recommended every 5 - 7 thousand kilometers. The more problems your “six” has, the shorter the intervals will be.
- Trying to save money. Everyone understands perfectly well that no one wants, and sometimes cannot, spend a lot of money on maintaining such a budget car. But excessive savings can result in serious problems. Do not fill with questionable motor mixtures, but use proven, well-proven oils. Among them there are options at an adequate price.
- Sales consultants. No offense to some sellers who are really trying to help customers. But most of them pursue personal goals and profit. For them, it is preferable to sell stale goods than to give practical and useful advice. Therefore, it is better to understand the issue yourself.
- Fakes. The big problem for domestic motorists is the presence of a huge number of counterfeit products on the market. In this regard, try to avoid dubious retail outlets, counters and spontaneous markets. Go to specialty stores. Even though the oil there will be a little more expensive, you will be able to get all the documents, look at the certificates of quality and conformity, make claims if you buy bad oil, etc.
Always try to remember what you pour into the engine crankcase and what oil you use for your VAZ-2106, which has a carburetor. This will allow you to purchase a similar liquid next time. The age of the car is the main problem when choosing motor fluid for the VAZ-2106. Therefore, try to take into account all the recommendations given, build on the current state of the car and do not skimp on consumables. Otherwise, you will soon have to send the car to a landfill.

Elimination of illiteracy
If you are interested in what kind of oil the engineers of the Volzhsky Automobile Plant recommend to fill into the power units of classic Lada cars - mineral, semi-synthetic or synthetic, then you are formulating the question incorrectly. The manufacturer's recommendations relate only to the quality standards that the engine oil being poured must meet.
Many people notice that product canisters usually have markings like API SH or API SJ/CF. You should pay attention to it first of all, since it is this marking that informs about the quality of the product.
API is an acronym for the American Petroleum Institute. This institute checks whether motor oil meets certain quality standards based on a large number of indicators, including:
- the amount of deposits remaining on engine parts after a standard period of operation;
- washing ability;
- temperature characteristics;
- toxicity;
- corrosivity;
- effectiveness of protecting engine parts from friction.
The abbreviations SJ or CF are deciphered as follows.
- S and C are the categories of engines for which the oil is intended. Lubricants for gasoline power units are designated by the letter S, and lubricants for diesel engines by the letter C.
- J and F - quality of oil performance characteristics. The farther the letter is from A in alphabetical order, the higher the product characteristics.
Engineers at the Volzhsky Automobile Plant require that the engine of the VAZ 21074 injector be filled with lubricant that at least meets the API SG/CD standard. Moreover, if you come across a product that meets the API SH, SJ or SL standard, then it is better to fill it.
Quite often, when purchasing motor oil, car enthusiasts first of all pay attention to the classification of the product according to the methodology of the US Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE). However, such a classification only determines the viscosity characteristics of the product and does not inform in any way about its quality.
Recommended VAZ 2107 oils according to SAE classification:
- Lukoil Lux - 5W40, 10W40, 15W40.
- Lukoil Super - 5W30, 5W40, 10W40, 15W40.
- Novoil-Sint - 5W30.
- Omskoil Lux - 5W30, 5W40, 10W30, 10W40, 15W40, 20W40.
- Norsi Extra - 5W30, 10W30, 5W40, 10W40, 15W40.
- Esso Ultra - 10W40.
- Esso Uniflo - 10W40, 15W40.
- Shell Helix Super - 10W40.
