The VAZ plant has been producing station wagons of the Largus family since 2011. This model has always had two engines in its arsenal - 8 and 16 valves. In the second case, the requirements for the quality of fuels and lubricants will be as strict as possible. And when choosing the right oil, mistakes are usually made. It’s easier to choose oil for a Lada Largus for a 16-valve engine this way: we take what is poured at the factory. But there are other options that are discussed in the text.
Five liters - from the canister and into the engine. This is the only way (example in the video).
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.
- ASEA A1/ ASEA A2/ ASEA A3/ ASEA A5.
- API SL, SM, SN.
- 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.

At the factory, the Lada Largus engine is filled with Elf Solaris Rnx 5w30 oil.
About choosing a filter
The oil filter on the K4M engine must be changed at every oil change. This requirement is more stringent than for 8 valves. On an 8-valve engine, the filter can be replaced “every other time,” although this is contrary to the regulations. But the 16-valve engine is not ready for such “difficulties”.
Articles
The Renault catalog contains two designations - 7700274177 and 8200768913. These are the article numbers for oil filters. But they differ - the first, “shorter” filter comes from the factory.

Lubricant replacement procedure
The lubricant is replaced in a certain sequence. How much lubricant to prepare for this is indicated above. Depending on which engine (8 or 16 valves), the appropriate viscosity is selected. In addition, you must purchase a new oil filter from Renault catalog 7700274177 or 8200768913. You must also have the following materials available:
- container for draining waste substances;
- a set of keys, a filter remover;
- rags and brush;
- tetrahedron by 8.
Next, perform the following steps:
- The car is driven onto an overpass or inspection hole (the engine is warmed up).
- The engine crankcase protection is removed using wrenches.
- The oil pan is cleaned of dirt and other deposits.
- The hood rises and the plug opens, through which lubricant will then be poured.
- The tetrahedron loosens (a couple of turns) the drain plug.
- The container is inserted, the plug is completely unscrewed, and the used lubricant is drained.
- It is necessary to check the condition of the sealing gasket, which, together with the plug, closes the drain neck. If it is unsatisfactory, it will need to be replaced.
- After some time, after the waste material has completely stopped flowing, the neck plug is screwed back on.
- The filter is replaced - the used part is unscrewed using a puller. The rubber seal of the new filter is lubricated with oil, after which it is screwed into place.
- New working fluid is poured through the filler neck. Ideally, about 4.8 liters should enter, but no more. It is advisable to periodically check the level with a dipstick. After this, the neck is closed with a stopper.
- The motor starts and runs to circulate the lubricant throughout the system. When starting, the emergency oil pressure lamp in the engine should go out. After warming up, you need to check the lubricant level again with a dipstick. It should be halfway between the minimum and maximum.

Brief excursion
In numerous videos presented on the Internet, you can see this car, get acquainted with its characteristics and watch test drives. The spacious interior and large trunk are impressive, which is very useful for Russians - especially those who like to travel outside the city.
In 2010, Lada Largus was first presented to the public. After 2 years, the first car rolled off the assembly line and industrial production began. The car itself is a copy of the Dacia Logan MCV, presented under license for production at AvtoVAZ. Nowadays, several modifications of the Lada Largus are produced: with a station wagon body capable of accommodating 5 or 7 passengers, as well as with an all-metal body and a 2-seater saloon.
The car is equipped with two French injection engines with a volume of 1.6 liters - with 8 valves and a capacity of 87 hp. With. , as well as a 16-valve engine with a capacity of 105 horses.
A 16-valve engine has two camshafts, an 8-valve engine has one. The car is made on the Renaul Logan platform, and the engines are also taken from there. Transmission – manual 5-speed, French.
In the video you can see how the Lada Largus confidently moves along our roads. This became possible because the suspension, springs and shock absorbers are adapted to Russian road conditions and are designed for increased load capacity. Increased ground clearance also contributes to good cross-country ability.
What and how to choose?
What kind of oil should I use? To select the correct oil, you will need to study the manual supplied with the car. Its pages display all the required characteristics and properties of the lubricant. To replace, you will need to contact a dealer service station. If the car’s warranty period has already expired, then such a replacement can be carried out independently or with the help of service technicians. The procedure itself is not complicated and does not require any secret skills. Having decided on the choice of which oil to pour, we continue.
The system filter must be replaced at the same time as the oil. Based on the characteristics and properties of the lubricant regulated by the manufacturer, we can safely consider the following products:
- “Shell” with the following viscosity and temperature parameters “5W–40”;
- "Valvolin" with "5W-30";
- "Gulf Formula G", has the characteristics of "5W-40";
- "ZIC A+" with "10W–40".
Self-replacement
- The first step, after you have decided which oil to pour, will be to position the car above a pit or on an overpass. Can also be hung with a lift.
- We select suitable containers for collecting waste and stock up on the necessary keys.
- Be sure to warm up the engine until it reaches full operating temperature.
- To provide access to the drain plug of the pan, we dismantle the motor protection.
- The plug itself is “defeated” using an “8” size hex wrench.
- We drain the oil completely, waiting for the last drops to disappear. The process will last about 15 minutes.
- Now we can unscrew the old filter. If it is not “stuck”, it will unscrew freely with manual effort. When such manipulation does not work, we use a device (puller). What if there is no puller? We use a screwdriver, which will act as a lever. We use it to pierce the filter housing on the side and away from the motor and rotate it.
- Before installing a new element, lubricate its O-ring (rubber) in a circle with a “drop” of new oil. We screw in the filter only by hand. No devices!
- We also screw the plug into the drain neck of the pan. Do not forget about replacing the copper gasket (“ring”).
- Fill in oil for Largus. Checking the level.
- We start the engine. We look at the level indicator located on the “tidy”. A few seconds (4-5) after the start it should go out.
- Let the engine run for 3-4 minutes and turn it off. After waiting about 10 minutes, we check the level again and draw a conclusion about the need for topping up.
- Once again we inspect the “control” points of the motor (the junction of the filter with the block, plug, etc.) for leaks. If they are missing, install the crankcase protection and go.
Features of 21129 engine/differences
The main feature of the 129 engine is the “innovative” for AvtoVAZ installation of an intake receiver with variable chamber geometry and volume. Due to the damper, the volume of the intake chamber changes depending on the speed. As practice shows, the damper is activated at 3500 engine speeds.
In addition, the engineers managed to get rid of the mass air flow sensor - mass air flow sensor. Along with him, his ailments went away, which tormented the owner of the 21126 engine: unstable idling, sometimes exorbitant consumption, high cost. Instead of mass air flow sensors, engineers installed a connection from DBP and DTV sensors (atmospheric pressure and air temperature sensors). This is where the differences from the 126 engine end. Speaking in fact, the intake system with variable geometry is as old as the world and has been installed by global manufacturers almost since the 80s.

What kind of oil to put in Lada Largus
Greetings to all largus guides who have visited my blog at this moment.
Today I’ll tell you what kind of engine oil is recommended to be poured into Largus and where it can be purchased at the lowest price in Yaroslavl.
Many people change the oil immediately after buying a new car, without waiting for the first maintenance. Someone is waiting for the car to travel 2000 km or 10,000 km or even 15,000 km. The service book for Largus states that the engine oil is changed after the first 30,000 km.
Personally, I am one of those drivers who prefer to change the oil in the first days after purchasing a car. He did the same with Largus. All subsequent replacements are made every 10,000 - 15,000 km.
Let's finish the job. Checking
Now you can add fresh oil in the amount recommended by the manufacturer. Next, the engine starts and the oil pressure warning lamp is checked. A few seconds after starting it should certainly go out. After warming up the engine for two minutes and making sure that everything is working, it turns off. After giving the oil a little time to flow back into the pan, we check its level using a dipstick. Top up if necessary.
When using the recommended grade of oil, the frequency of its replacement will be every 15,000 km.
. If you come across a product of poor quality or a counterfeit of a well-known brand, it should be replaced immediately. It is very difficult to identify a fake. Therefore, when deciding what kind of oil should be poured into the Lada Largus, give preference to trusted sellers and manufacturers. Under no circumstances buy cheap analogues of well-known brands of oils. This will not lead to anything good.
Which is better, SAE W30 or W40 - video explanation
Every caring owner is burdened by the issue of trouble-free operation of the engine. One of the main conditions for such success is the timely replacement of high-quality motor oil; it is also important to know what kind of oil to fill. In the Lada Largus engine, the lubricant must be replaced after 15 thousand kilometers. During this period, the majority of owners of this station wagon have a moment of truth associated with the choice of a quality product. As you know, oil with excellent quality indicators is capable of keeping engine parts in “good health” and providing them with the service life declared by the manufacturer.
When owners of a Lada Largus with an 8-valve and 16-valve engine skimp on oil and fill in with a product of unknown origin, they deliberately doom the engine to failure. If the car is also under warranty, then this approach may lead to deprivation of the right to this preferential service.
