Criteria for selecting Lada Largus oil
All oils are selected based on compliance with SAE, ACEA, API.
In terms of composition, it is optimal to use semi-synthetics or synthetics for Lada Largus. Viscosity is suitable 0w30, 0w40, 5w30, 5w40, 10w30, 10w40,15w30, 15w40, but most often drivers fill in 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.

When to check the oil condition
Naturally, not every motorist wants to check the condition of the oil frequently. And yet, this will have to be done, given the difficult Russian operating conditions. As you know, they check the oil using a dipstick - they pull it out, then look at the color of the liquid, then evaluate its smell and contents. Any deviations may be a reason for an urgent oil change. Among these deviations, we highlight darkening, a specific smell, the presence of sediment in the form of mud deposits, metal shavings, etc. Let us note a few more signs that indirectly indicate that it is necessary to urgently check the oil and, if necessary, replace it:
- Sudden loss of engine power
- The motor is not able to develop high speeds
- Excessive fuel consumption
- High engine oil consumption
- Noise and vibration, which are even greater under increased loads and at high speeds
- There is a noticeable delay when upshifting or downshifting.

Lada (“Lada”) is a brand of cars produced by AvtoVAZ JSC. Previously, it was used only for export cars, and for the domestic market, cars were produced under the Zhiguli brand. In 2004, the management of AvtoVAZ announced the transition to the Latin alphabet for the official spelling of the names of all cars produced by the plant: Lada - instead of "VAZ" and "Lada".
Lada.Online is the largest Russian-language automotive resource with a daily audience of thousands, which is dedicated primarily to cars of this brand, the domestic automotive industry and the automotive world in general.

Specifications
Before you start looking at the technical specifications, it is worth understanding what kind of engine is in the Lada Largus. During the history of production, the Largus had three engines. Of these, two are French and one is domestic.
Let's look at what technical characteristics the engines on Largus have:
K7M
K4M
VAZ-111890
In fact, at the beginning of production at Lagus, engines were installed that were mounted on another Renault car - the Dacia Logan MCV. This is evidenced by another fact. The Largus engine was equipped with French gearboxes - JR5 or JH3, which were also installed on Logan.
What is he like?
This power unit serves as the basis for several models of cars from different manufacturers. The K4M engine is a motor with a volume of 1600 cm 3, in which 16 valves are installed in the cylinder head. Gasoline is used as the fuel mixture; it is installed on the latest Renault models, as well as LadaLargus, NissanAlmera.
The main differences that the K4M motor has from the K7M version include a completely new version of the BC head. She received two camshafts separately for the intake and exhaust valves.
This is indicated by the inscription 16V on the car body, as well as on the cylinder head. If we consider the design of the cylinder block and crankshaft, they are the same for both versions of the engines. The Renault Logan 1.6 engine may have a phase regulator for models whose power is 115 hp, or without it for engines with lower power.
Owners note a slight decrease in the noise of the operating power unit, this is facilitated by hydraulic compensators in the gas distribution mechanism of the power unit.
How much oil to fill in the Lada Largus engine
First generation R90, from 2012 (F90-from 2017)
Largus is a complete copy of the Logan MCV, and this also applies to the interior. However, despite the outdated design, the machine remains relevant thanks to numerous upgrades. In its original form, the car was produced until 2021, and then an updated version debuted with a modified radiator grille with a new three-dimensional rook, which is also found on the steering wheel and original rims.
The stern began to look respectable due to the larger Lada nameplate. No major changes were required as the model was still satisfactory to potential clients. In addition, a new Club modification has appeared with black side mirror housings, new 16-inch wheels, unique Club embroidery on the seats and nameplates of the same name. This car is also equipped with rear parking sensors.

Tuning the Renault K4M 16 valve engine.
Chip tuning, firmware for K4M 1.6 16 valve engine
An ordinary engine chip, simultaneously with replacing the exhaust with a catless one, can slightly improve the performance of the engine, +\- 120 hp. It's quite possible to get it. This can be supplemented by installing drivetech 10 phase 270 shafts, a little wider than the standard, it will go a little more fun and give a little more hp. To move forward you need to come up with something else.
Compressor for Renault K4M
Exactly like on the K7M or K7J, if you really want, you can attach a PK-23 compressor to the engine and inflate about 140-150 hp. The compression ratio of standard K4M is not too high, it can withstand 0.5 bar. There are no ready-made kits for this engine, but by contacting the manufacturer, they will assemble the required configuration for a specific car. To implement the project, you will need Volga injectors, direct-flow exhaust, phase 270-280 shafts, and to configure all this online you will need an Abit engine control unit.
Turbine for Renault K4M 16 valves
1 in 1 system as with a compressor, only instead of PC-23 we install a TD04 turbine, all nozzles, shafts, etc. we put the same thing. In practice, such configurations produce just over 150 hp. It will be difficult to achieve outstanding dynamic performance, but the fact that the car will go faster is certain. As for the resource... does anyone think about the resource when it comes to supercharging?
How much to fill
Lada Largus is equipped with two types of gasoline engines, which require different amounts of oil due to different displacements:
Year of manufacture – since 2012
- For petrol engine 1.6 K7M 87 l. With.:
- How much to fill - 3.3 liters
Year of manufacture – since 2012
- For petrol engine 1.6 16V K4M 105 l. With.:
- How much to fill - 4.8 liters
Let us draw attention to the fact that the specified amount of oil can only be introduced during a complete replacement, which is carried out using special equipment. In other words, such a procedure is only possible at a dealership. At home, Lada Largus owners are content with a partial replacement, during which it is not possible to completely drain the old oil. According to unofficial data, there is a proven method - phased partial replacement. This is no less effective a procedure than a complete replacement at the dealership. At least, it allows you to completely get rid of dirt and remnants of old oil, and then fill in new oil in full (3-3-4.8 liters depending on engine size).
How to replace the oil filter
You will need: a 10" or 13" wrench, a puller or a screwdriver.
On the K4M engine, access to the oil filter is blocked by the engine protection, which will have to be removed (6 x 10 screws). Or remove the fuel frame protection from above by unscrewing the 2 “13” screws. Place an empty container under the filter and turn it counterclockwise using a puller.
If you don’t have a special tool, you can use a screwdriver. For easier access to the filter on the K7M engine, you can remove the exhaust manifold thermal shield by unscrewing the three mounting screws. Then pierce the filter housing with a screwdriver (closer to the bottom of the filter, so as not to damage the motor fitting), unscrew the filter, using the screwdriver as a lever.
Fill the new filter 1/3 full with new engine oil and lubricate the sealing ring with it. Then install the oil filter, tightening it by hand until the O-ring comes into contact with the cylinder block. After this, tighten the oil filter another 3/4 turn.
Changing the engine oil
Experienced car owners know that recommendations regarding oil changes cannot be ignored. Ignoring this important process provokes incredibly complex breakdowns that impede not only a comfortable trip, but also completely make such movements impossible. Used oil fluid does not provide high-quality lubrication, so parts quickly fail due to excessive friction. We recommend that you allocate funds in time to purchase oil and pour it into the engine of your favorite car. We will tell you how to carry out such manipulations without making a single mistake, so you should not worry about your technical amateurism.
Replacement frequency
The incredible beauty “Lada Largus” is a joint “product” of AvtoVAZ and the Renault-Nissan concern. If you want your car to fly smoothly and beautifully along the highways, then we recommend listening to the manufacturers' recommendations. Who better to know the needs of their “child” than the parent-producer.
The oil change in Largus is carried out after the car has covered fifteen thousand kilometers. We recommend not to postpone the deadline for technical manipulation. In addition, let us reveal the secret that many car owners prefer to replace the motor fluid after a mileage of 10 thousand kilometers. This is no coincidence, since the parameters specified by the manufacturer are designed for ideal operating conditions. They do not take into account the terrible quality of the road surface, bumpy trips, or the use of cheap fuel.
Please also note that you will have to change the engine fluid even if your car only covers a few tens or hundreds of kilometers, if at least one year has passed since the last change. Oil loses its quality characteristics not only during the constant operation of the vehicle, but also as a result of its prolonged downtime.
Checking the oil level
If you are just learning the secrets of car maintenance, you can hardly take into account all the dangerous moments when operating a car. It often happens that oil fluid leaks out of the engine quite slowly. Unfortunately, over a period of time, an incredible shortage of oil can occur, causing engine failure. You can avoid such consequences only if you make it a rule to periodically check the oil level in the engine of your Lada Largus.
Checking the volume of oil fluid is quite easy, and for the procedure you only need to take a dipstick, which you can easily find near the filler hole. Wipe down the dipstick initially to get rid of any old oil residue that might be confusing you. In addition, it is necessary to wipe the dipstick with a rag in order to prevent various debris from penetrating into the oil liquid. After the dipstick is cleaned, lower it into the hole, hold it inside for a few seconds, remove the tool and pay attention to the location of the oil trail.
The alarm should be sounded if the trace appears below the mark indicating the permissible minimum. If the mark is located between two marks, then you can relax - the volume of oil liquid corresponds to the recommended values.
Which oil to choose
So, let's consider the option when it's time to change the engine oil on the Lada Largus. In a car store you can choose the appropriate motor fluid that matches the technical parameters of the engine of your favorite car. Lada Largus is produced with an 8 or 16 valve engine. Because of this technical difference, your choice in the auto store will also depend. The manufacturer strongly recommends purchasing original oil for the engine of your car. Only if the original is not available can you select a suitable oil with identical parameters.
In particular, if your vehicle is equipped with a 16 valve engine, then we recommend that you pay attention to motor oil of the following classes: API, SL, SM. It is also useful to pay attention to the markings, which should be accompanied by the following inscriptions: 5W-30, 5W-40, 0W30, 0W-40.
How much to fill
The next question that may arise when visiting a car shop is related to the required volume of oil contained in the Largus engine. Of course, it is important to know how much oil is in the Lada Largus engine, since you will have to choose which canister to purchase. If you buy too much, it’s not a big deal, since the liquid will come in handy as you use the car in the future. No less relevant is the question of how many liters of MM are required for the Lada Largus (16 valves).
Ask the store clerk to find you a five-liter canister of suitable motor fluid. This volume will be quite enough to carry out the technical manipulation absolutely competently.
Tools
Of course, you will need to purchase or prepare some materials, the main ones being oil fluid and a filter. Along with them you will need:
- container for draining waste;
- hexagons, keys;
- screwdrivers;
- heads;
- rags;
- funnel;
- rubber gloves designed to protect hands.
All actions step by step
Now we recommend moving on to the most important part, the actual procedure for changing the oil in the Lada Largus. Start the engine of your Lada and let the engine make a little noise so that it warms up thoroughly. Only after such simple preparation proceed to the following steps. Drive your “horse” into the pit or lift it with a jack. This is necessary so that you can perform actions at the bottom of the car. First of all, remove the motor protection. If there is no such protection, then immediately proceed to the next stage.
You will find traces of dirt around the drain hole, you need to clean them. You will have to work hard using the prepared rags.
Now you can unscrew the drain plug and immediately place a container into which the waste will flow in a thin stream. As soon as the liquid stops draining, tighten the drain plug and proceed to replacing the filter on the VAZ engine with 16 valves.
When removing the old filter, you can pierce it with a screwdriver, and after that, slowly remove it. Some car owners seek to reduce their financial costs by not purchasing a new filter. Before installing a new filter in the Lada Largus engine (8 valves or 16), take care to clean the place where you plan to install it. After this, unscrew the filler plug, insert a funnel and pour about five liters of oil through it.
The choice of motorists themselves
The reader has probably already found out what kind of oil to pour into the Lada Largus engine. 6 different options were named. There are other, “less common” substitutions:
- Lukoil Lux Synthetic SN, 5W40;
- SHELL Helix Ultra, 5W40 (many fakes);
- ELF EVOLUTION 900 FT, 0W30;
- TEXACO Havoline Energy, 5W30;
- Nissan Oil, 5W40 (factory option for the Almera sedan);
- GM Dexos 2, 5W30.
By the way, the new name for EVOLUTIONSXR is EVOLUTION 900SXR! You don't look for something that doesn't exist.
ELF EVOLUTION 900 SXR packaging
The question remains, what is the volume of the engine crankcase? Answer:
- The crankcase is designed for 5 liters. oils;
- Filling volume if the filter is not changed – 4.6 liters;
- When changing with a filter, add another 200-250 ml.
Now the reader understands how much oil to pour into the Lada Largus engine, whose 16 valves require as much as 5 liters. lubricants! The filling volume will be less than 5. Read more about the engine models on the Lada Largus in the article: what engines are installed on the Lada Largus.
Types of oils
- Synthetic is a high-quality oil with continuous advantages. This is a very fluid and liquid composition that is not afraid of low temperatures. An ideal option for any modern vehicle, including Lada Largus. It has good extreme pressure and anti-oxidation properties, and also effectively cools engine components and thereby prevents overheating. Synthetics have proven themselves well in all temperature and road conditions. This oil will last for a long time, and this will have a beneficial effect on the frequency of replacement.
- Semi-synthetic – a mixture of synthetic and mineral oils. There is much more of the latter (70% of the total volume), and yet this composition is much better than “mineral water”. It withstands low temperatures better, as it practically does not freeze in frosty weather. Semi-synthetics are a worthy alternative to mineral oil.

We fill until the liquid begins to flow out through the air outlet fitting. We wrap the cap of the air release fitting and the cap of the expansion tank.
Let's start the engine. When the engine warms up, the outlet (lower) radiator hose should be cold for some time, and then quickly heat up, which will indicate the beginning of fluid circulation in a large circle. After waiting for the cooling system fan to turn on, stop the engine. After the engine has cooled, check the coolant level. If necessary, we bring it to normal.
