Since the distribution box contains rubbing elements, wear products inevitably appear in it over time. If the oil in the transfer case is not changed in a timely manner, its resource will be reduced. Oil loses performance and fine particles increase gear wear.

How often to change

There are several different types of transfer cases, and depending on the type of mechanism, the frequency of replacement in them can vary significantly. Usually this information is contained in the technical documentation for the car and varies in the range from 50 to 100 thousand kilometers.

In addition, the operating conditions affect the period. The distribution box of a car that drives on public roads experiences much less stress than that installed on a car constantly moving off-road.

How to choose

Two types of liquid are poured into the distributor: transmission oil or ATF liquid. On cars with automatic transmission, ATF is usually poured into the transfer case, with manual transmissions - the transmission. Moreover, often, the fluids must match, or be completely compatible.

This is due to the fact that usually the connection between the transfer case and the box is made by a single shaft, or one is attached to the body of the other. When mixing liquids, this will avoid the formation of an emulsion, foaming and other side effects.

For most modern cars with a dispenser, the manufacturer recommends the use of GL-5 grade gear oils. They protect well hypoid gears, are designed to work in the most loaded mechanisms and contain extreme pressure additives.

The viscosity characteristics of oils play an important role. Let's analyze the meaning of the numbers using the example of 80W90 oil:

• 80 - viscosity at low temperatures
• W - all-season
• 90 - viscosity at high temperatures

If ATF is used, it is better to fill in the original fluid recommended by the manufacturer, or an analogue with appropriate approvals.

What and how much to fill

The following table will allow you to choose oil by car make and find out how much is required.

Check level

On most cars, viewing windows are not provided for checking the oil level in the transfer case. Level control and replacement takes place through the filler hole.

To check, it is necessary to place the car on a flat surface and unscrew the filler bolt, or the control bolt, if any. Usually they are made for four or hexagon, or for a wrench.


A level just below the filler / check hole is considered normal.

The need for replacement is determined by the intake of a small amount of oil. This can be done with a syringe with a flexible tube at the end. Black, cloudy, with traces of depletion must be replaced.

How to change

The replacement procedure itself is simple, but often complicated by the fact that access to the filler hole is difficult. It also requires a lift, observation pit or overpass.

Some motorists make their own drain hole in the dispenser to make the procedure as easy as possible. complete replacement oils. To do this, a hole is drilled at the bottom point for the plug and a thread is cut.

You will need:

1. Special pumping syringe technical fluids (cost 500-800 rubles). You can use a medical one, but due to its small volume, the replacement process will be significantly delayed. What is more expensive - time or money, you decide.
2. Transfer oil (transmission / ATF) recommended by the manufacturer or having an appropriate specification.
3. Gasket sealant, degreasing liquid.

To prevent dirt from getting inside the dispenser, you should clean the surfaces before unscrewing the plugs.

There is a drain hole

If your car is equipped drain plug, it is necessary to unscrew the bolt and wait for the oil to drain completely. The magnet on the plug should be cleaned of debris. Degrease the drain hole and plug, apply a coat of sealant and screw the plug into place.

Using a syringe, fill the dispenser with oil until it flows over the edge of the filler hole, then screw the cap back on with sealant.

No drain

In this case, all operations are performed through the filler hole. A syringe tube is inserted into it and the oil is pumped out as much as possible. The procedure for adding new oil is the same as described above.

For any vehicle, the importance of timely replacement lubricants cannot be overstated. Oils used in units and assemblies exposed to friction at high speeds significantly reduce their overheating and wear, thus extending their service life. Among such nodes, one cannot fail to note the transfer case, which is equipped with four-wheel drive vehicles... Both old Niva cars and models under the Chevrolet brand, produced since 2002, need no introduction - these are some of the most massive all-wheel drive vehicle in our country, which have earned the love of motorists for their unpretentiousness, ease of maintenance and low cost. It is especially pleasing that the vast majority of maintenance operations for a domestic SUV can be performed independently, without resorting to the help of specialists and a car service. In particular, this also applies to changing the oil in the Niva distributor - a procedure that does not require special professional skills or special tools.

Checking the oil in the Niva distributor should be performed every 10 thousand km.

Replacement frequency

According to the recommendations given in the service book, for the first time, the oil in the transfer case of the Niva car should be changed during the fourth MOT, that is, after hitting 45 thousand kilometers. Then the procedure should be repeated with the same frequency. It should be especially noted that on the new Niva, the transmission oil is replaced after running in (2000 km). It is recommended to check the lubricant level in the transfer case every 10 thousand kilometers. However, experts advise focusing not so much on the recommended indicators, but on the condition of this important unit, as well as on factors associated with the operating conditions of the car.

It is one thing when the car drives mainly on good roads (urban, on suburban roads), and quite another when its owner lives in the countryside or is an avid hunter, fisherman or just a big fan of outdoor activities. In such cases, the level and quality of the oil in the dispenser should be checked more often, and if signs of contamination of the fluid appear, it should be replaced without waiting for the scheduled time. So you decide when to change the oil in the Niva dispenser, taking into account all the above factors.

Checking the oil level

The procedure for checking the oil level in the Niva dispenser is quite simple, in any case, it does not require any special skills. The only difficult moment is that it is necessary to provide access to the bottom of the car, for which it will be necessary to drive it onto a pit, overpass or securely install it on pads. The second point - the check should be done on cold car, so if you have driven somewhere before, wait for the car to cool down.

The procedure itself is simple - it is enough to unscrew the filler plug with a 12 hexagon, after thoroughly cleaning the seat from dirt, and measure with a suitable object (a wooden stick or a piece of wire) how much lower the liquid level of the lower edge of the hole is. If this distance exceeds 10 mm., Top up, which is carried out using a special syringe. You need to top up until the grease begins to flow out of the hole, then wipe the box dry and tighten the plug.

Choosing the right oil

The choice of lubricant for the transfer case and Niva axles should be taken responsibly, because the reliable functioning of these transmission elements ensures that you will never find yourself in a situation requiring outside help. The recommended ones have characteristics that ensure the optimal operation of the vehicle unit for which they are intended. If you know exactly which oil is poured into the dispenser, the choice is simplified: it is enough to purchase a lubricant with the same viscosity. If this information is not available, it does not matter either: you just need to drain all the old transmission fluid, that is, do not limit yourself to topping up, if, say, the level is too low, and the lubricant itself is not yet very contaminated.

It should be noted that if you do not know which oil to pour into the Niva distributor, which one into the box, which one into the bridges, then the manufacturer claims that you can use the same transmission fluid in all the specified units. If we talk about, then oils 78W90, 80W85, 80W90 are acceptable, the main condition is. The manufacturer is not so important if it is a well-known foreign or domestic brand.

The automaker pours mineral water into the dispenser, but when replacing the fluid, the preferable lubricant will be semisynthetics, which have the best operational characteristicsmore suitable for the climate of our country.

How much to pour

According to the data given in the operation manual, the volume of oil poured into the distributor of the Niva-2121 and more modern modifications (21213, 21214, 21310) is 0.75 liters. Some reference books give a figure of 0.79 liters, which is not important - you still need to purchase liquid packaged in a container with a volume of 1 liter.

The procedure for self-changing oil in the Niva distributor

If, as a result of the next level check or in the dispenser, it turned out that the time has come to replace it (symptoms indicating the need to perform such a procedure may be not only a very dark color of the oil with the inclusion of solid particles, but also the appearance of noise when the dispenser is turned on or during it work), you can perform such a replacement on your own.

This requires a 19 and 12 hex wrench, a liter container for used grease and some rags. You will also need to provide access to the car from the bottom, for which you can use both a lift and an overpass or inspection pit.

Warm up the car immediately before replacing (drive about 10 kilometers). The procedure for performing Niva:

Note that draining and filling fresh oil is technically the same procedure for all Niva modifications.

The transfer case on the UAZ Patriot SUV is a unit that is responsible for the distribution of torque from the car's engine to its drive mechanisms. Like most parts and assemblies in a UAZ Patriot car, the junction box needs diagnostic and preventive measures. The main preventive measure for premature elimination of breakdowns and prevention of increased wear of the working units of the Republic of Kazakhstan is an oil change. What is an oil change, how is it carried out, what are the features, and which product is better to choose? We will consider all questions in this material.

Let's briefly consider which oil is better for pouring into the RK. So, the manufacturer recommends pouring gear oil with a viscosity grade of 75W-85 into the distributor. In this case, you can use both synthetics and semi-synthetics. It is not recommended to pour mineral liquids into the transfer case, box, axles and engine. Why? You can learn more about this from the material. The manufacturer recommends the following types of transmission fluids for an SUV transfer case:

• ZIC G-HF 75W-85;
• SKG-F TOP 75W-85 $
• HI SAE 75W85 API GL-3.

But as practice shows, few people attach importance to such recommendations and each motorist individually chooses for his car, in his opinion the best option or optimal with a lack of funds. But it is better to pour only into the distributor, as well as into the engine and bridges, quality oil, otherwise, it will negatively affect the functioning of the unit, and its service life, with the subsequent destruction of parts. Below is a plate that may be useful for owners of UAZ Patriot SUVs.

Often, drivers fill the same oil as in the gearbox and axles. You can learn more about this in this material. Next, we will consider how the UAZ Patriot SUV is replaced in the Republic of Kazakhstan.

The need to meet deadlines

Before proceeding to consider the question of how the lubricant is replaced in the Republic of Kazakhstan on the UAZ Patriot SUV, we will consider when such actions are necessary. So, based on the recommendations of the manufacturer of the famous Russian SUV, it should be noted that the first lubricant change is recommended after 2500-5000 km of run. This is provided that the car is bought directly from the assembly line. But few people pay attention to such recommendations and often only the engine oil changes. In the best case, the replacement in the distribution box falls on a mileage of 20-30 thousand km. Why does the manufacturer recommend changing the lubricant after such a short time? Because the car is new and its parts have not yet become accustomed to each other, therefore the first thousand km of run are test ones.

If you do not resort to replacing the lubricant after a specified period, in the oil, from the initial grinding of new parts, a lot of the smallest metal particles are formed, and they soon begin to intensively erase the working surfaces of the parts. This subsequently leads to a decrease in the operating life of the mechanism as a whole. Therefore, the plant recommends, and the owners independently decide on such events.

Disassembled box

How much lubricant is needed for an SUV dispenser? According to the recommendations of the engineers of the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant, 0.7 liters of oil must be poured into the transfer case of the UAZ Patriot car. Each subsequent replacement of the lubricant should be carried out in a distributor every 25-70 thousand kilometers, which depends on the type of material used and on the operating conditions of the car. In particular, mineral water should be changed every 25 thousand km, and synthetics 65-70 km. We will consider further how the direct replacement of the material is carried out.

Replacement process

First you need to choose necessary tool for work. Therefore, you will need a "12" hex wrench, a syringe for filling and a container for draining the mining. It is better to put the car on the inspection hole so that it is convenient to carry out maintenance work. Warm up the vehicle by driving it for at least 15 minutes before replacing it. In this case, working off will become much thinner and will flow out of the distribution box to the maximum.

Location of plugs on the distributor

If, in the process of draining the lubricant, you notice that its composition is a dark liquid, which practically no longer has its original characteristics, then it should be concluded that the distributor needs a more frequent oil change frequency.

So, the article considered all the important questions about how much oil needs to be poured into the razdatka, which one is better to choose and how it is replaced on the UAZ Patriot SUV. It can be summed up and noted that such a unit without fail requires such preventive measures. Otherwise, if you forget that the transfer case, axles and gearbox need to periodically change lubricants, then this can have unpleasant consequences: from the appearance of noise in these units to jamming of gears during operation. Therefore, it is important to pay special attention to this process, in which this material will help you.

Niva 21214 car is different increased cross-country ability on the roads. There is an engine on the car that has a volume of 1.7 liters, corresponding to Euro-4 standards. The transmission system includes a transfer case with crankcase ventilation. All component parts on the VAZ 21214, just like on the VAZ 21213, have a long working life. It is important to take proper care of car system, select quality oil for Niva.

SUV Niva (VAZ 2121), which has four-wheel drive, equipped with a manual transmission is capable of delivering power of 75 horsepower.

Choosing gearbox oil

Transmission fluid Lukoil GL4 75W-80

Which oil to choose? Transmission oils are presented in a wide range. You should pay attention to fuels that have the following viscosity: 75W-90, 85W-90. In particular, you can choose Lukoil 80W90 gear oil (class GL5). When operating vehicles in winter period 70W-90 oil should be purchased as it has a low viscosity. Semi-synthetic options are also suitable for refueling Niva 21213. It is better to replace it in a specialized service center.

How much oil to fill? It is necessary to add about 0.8 liters to the Niva distributor of oil. 1.6 liters are poured into his high-speed box transmission fluid.

Before making a choice of transmission fluid, you should always carefully study its composition.

The need to change transmission oil

To change the oil on the Niva, the car must be warmed up (to ensure good fluidity). The machine is placed on an inspection pit; a special container should be placed under the drain hole, where the spent liquid will drain. To open the drain and filler plug, you should use a hexagon. Also, from additional tools, you will need a special syringe, which is used to refuel the dispenser.

Changing the oil in the transfer case (Niva 21214/21213). Main steps:

1. The drain plug is unscrewed.
2. The remaining oil is poured into the container.
3. Any contamination on the cork must be removed.
4. The drain plug is screwed on.
5. The top plug is unscrewed to fill in new oil using a syringe.
6. The plug is twisted.

The peculiarity of the checkpoint is that a magnet is built in here. Its function is to carry out the attraction of small metal debris that may be present in the fuel.

When replacing fuel, flushing the crankcase is required. This procedure helps to extend the operational life of the box. Flushing is mandatory if the drained oil is heavily contaminated.

The frequency of replacing fuel for the transmission is affected by the mileage of the Niva 21214 (21213), in what conditions it is used. When making frequent off-road trips, the need to change the oil for the transfer case, the gearbox may arise even up to 50,000 km.

The need to add a new lubricant to the box can be indicated by the fact that the gearbox began to overheat, characteristic noises appeared during movement from its side.
