In conclusion

Despite the openly disregardful attitude of most car enthusiasts towards this unit, a timely serviced oil filter on a VAZ 2114 is the key to adequate operation of the car’s engine. Most owners of the “fourteenth” save money and change the oil themselves. This can really be done easily, the main thing is to know which oil filter to choose and how to change it.

Oil filters for VAZ-2114

The quality of the engine of any car depends on the complex technical condition of its components: bearings, pistons, rings, etc. The task of the lubrication system in a car algorithm is to reduce the load on all moving components, which significantly increases their service life.

IMPORTANT! Oil starvation of the engine is a serious problem - the result, at best, will be inverted liners, and at worst, the engine will need to be replaced.

As engine joints interact, fine dust and chips appear, which over time turns the lubricating fluid into an abrasive, which only increases wear. The oil filter, included in the lubricating fluid circulation system, filters out all small particles and retains them. For the system to operate correctly, this element must retain no less than 95% of the total number of foreign elements supplied to the oil during vehicle operation.

Here the situation is even more interesting. This crap is also observed in the European Union! Guess what?! There was recently a scandal in Lithuania that they were selling goods in the same chain and in the same packaging, but of completely different quality! There's just no way to compare! But the European Union is just the European Union because the situation was quickly controlled. An ordinary Lithuanian citizen wrote a letter to the European Commissioner with attached photos and examination results. Such a scandal broke out that the network was severely punished financially, the man received respect and compensation for moral damage, etc.

Imagine such a situation here? I went into a grocery store, bought fermented baked milk, muttered that something was too expensive, and in response the idiot saleswoman started to be rude, like if you don’t like it, don’t take it. I abruptly cut her off (this is the only way to deal with boors) and explained just as loudly and clearly: - criticizing the price of a product is my legal right, as well as bargaining! Not the USSR! When everything was decided for you.

If you are rude, I’ll go to the local policeman and provide a recording of our “conversation” and then I’ll sue you! Do you need it? Madame became quiet (apparently not for the first time). Some kind of under-fucked (by all indications) madam!

PS Now I’m beginning to understand why people in European countries went on strike against globalism 10 years ago. This is what they called the conspiracy between traders and manufacturers.

A filter with an upper bypass is important if there are hydraulics or a hydraulic tensioner, mann w. 7015 is perfect if the springs are not sawn, Livny Premier 05 is a good filter, the outside is like a piece of crap inside, the drive has a cut of Livny Premier 01 on an UAZ, but here is a photo of my Premier 05 compared to the fireworks.

If the engine does not have hydraulic compensators, then all the filters presented in the article are suitable; for a motor with hydraulic compensators, filters with an upper bypass valve are desirable so that the dirt retained by the filter does not go into the engine on a cold start, these are the salute filter (with a high-quality and very low curtain), basalt (with a valve that I could barely pull out with pliers, and which blocks the oil channel, it’s a brilliant solution), Livny Premier 05 (an excellent filter, reminiscent of a part from a tank, only almost always rusty), Mann w 7015 (filter for Ford, but fits on a VAZ like the original one, it is a little longer, but much smaller in diameter, the drive will not reach if the spring is not sawn).

Interesting info. But I don’t quite understand, in your opinion, which one do you think is better with the upper bypass? I didn’t even know about Man 7015. For some reason I didn’t take the fireworks and basalt, perhaps I absorbed someone’s thoughts or misunderstood, because... I’m not good at this at all. But the prime minister hasn’t heard any comments or seen any comments about showers. But I was scared off by a loose O-ring and some loose paint in one place. I mean, not exactly this, but the fact that the paper and its fastening are suddenly also not made well. I know that many people pour regular oil, install regular filters, drive their 150-200 thousand and don’t worry about bullshit like I do. I'm just curious, because... the price is almost the same, why buy worse and feed a low-quality producer. For some reason I didn’t immediately consider Ladovsky, big and SCT and similar ones. I don’t understand this, but for some reason I came to this conclusion on who knows what basis. Without even examining them live.

Here is Mann 7015 compared to Male 384. The bore diameter is correct. It turns out that you can use this Ford filter to select any filter, even the most elite one.

Funny... You can put any filter on the classics. As long as it's in good working order. And the topic reminded me of the eccentric who poured zik oil into the nine, then mobile... The tractor engine doesn’t care what to eat. IMHO.

Hello. Which one do you recommend for a carburetor classic? And is there a part number?

Oil filter replacement intervals

According to the technical recommendations of the manufacturer, the oil filter is replaced along with changing the oil itself, that is, every 10-15 thousand km, provided that the car is used in favorable conditions. If the vehicle is operated in aggressive conditions, the oil must be changed every 5-10 thousand km.

Replacing the oil filter

Aggressive conditions include:

a specific environment, manifested in high (low) humidity, constant low or extremely high temperatures and other climate features;
operation of a vehicle under conditions of critical weight loads;
frequent operation of the engine in low gears (traffic jams, slow driving on poor-quality road surfaces);
aggressive driving style in general or operating the car in a manner not intended by its design: rally, hunting, racing.

Preventing the problem from recurring

To ensure that the filter cover does not become sour and can be easily unscrewed, it is necessary to periodically open it and clean the filter from the very beginning of operation (as prescribed in the instructions).
When screwing, you need to make sure that the lid is not skewed and fits exactly along the thread.

Some craftsmen use a special plumbing paste such as Unipak or similar. It fills the threads and prevents dirt from penetrating between the threads.

At the same time, the paste itself is not aggressive towards plastic, does not decompose or dissolve it. This protection of the lid allows you to open it without difficulty the next time.

Choosing which oil filter is better for the VAZ-2114

The ideal place to buy an oil filter is a certified VAZ service center, but given the realities of our country, it is best to buy such things from friends, although they can deceive.

Oil filters for VAZ 2114

In order not to purchase a frankly low-quality product, you should pay attention to the following nuances of the product:

the quality of the packaging and the presence of spelling, grammatical or semantic errors on the packaging, if any - the filter is a fake of the worst quality;
the presence of burrs on the filler holes - the original filter does not have them;
the presence of “VAZ stripes” on the side ring;
elasticity of the sealing gum – it should be high;
the product body must be durable and free from defects;
the paper must be glued carefully, and there must be no streaks or other traces of glue;
the thread must be of high quality and not have any visible defects.

Fulfilling all the conditions will not be able to protect you from buying a fake with 100% probability, but at least it will be of high quality.

How to remove using improvised means?

We unscrew it using the old drive unit belt. One of the ends must be threaded through the inside of the belt. Throw the resulting loop onto the housing of the filter element. You need to insert a long screwdriver or a suitable piece of pipe into the eyelet. By resting the end of the lever against the housing, you can easily unscrew the oil filter. Instead of a V-belt, you can use a strong cord.

How to remove the oil filter without a key

Use an old timing belt and a spanner. Place the belt over the body and thread the ends through the head of the key, as shown in the photo.
Make a simple puller. You will need: a small piece of pipe, a piece of bicycle chain and a nail. It is necessary to make a hole in the tube flattened at the end, the diameter of which will be no less than the diameter of the nail. Having inserted the ends of the chain into the pipe, put the device on the filter. It is necessary to pull out the chain so that it fits tightly around the filter element housing. Having fixed the desired length, insert a nail into the hole so that it passes between the chain links. The video shows how to make a puller and use it to unscrew the oil filter.

DIY oil filter puller (without welding)

The barbaric way

In the absence of a special puller, most drivers resort to using a hammer and chisel. To unscrew the oil filter, just pierce its housing right through with a long screwdriver. The handle will be the same lever that enhances the applied torque.

If the filter element on your car is screwed into the top of the cylinder block, place rags around the housing before breaking through. After loosening the tightening, unscrew the filter and wait 2-3 minutes for the oil to drain into the pan. This will reduce the amount of waste that is spilled.

Oil filter puller: overview of THREE models. Bonus: how to unscrew the filter without a puller.

Which way should I unscrew?

The oil filter on all cars has a right-hand thread. To unscrew it, you need to rotate the housing counterclockwise.

Often problems with unscrewing arise due to unreasonably high tightening force. If you initially tighten the housing by hand with a force of 20 Nm, then there will be no problems with unscrewing it either. When changing the oil yourself, it is enough to tighten the housing until the rubber seal comes into contact with the housing of the seat, and then tighten it another ¾ turn. To ensure a tight fit, the rubber seal must first be lubricated with clean engine oil.

Making a puller yourself

You will need: an old timing belt, a 3/8 or 1/2 square socket, M6 bolt, nut, screwdriver, drill, grinder and needle file.

Using a grinder, cut a groove in the head, the thickness of which will allow you to insert a folded belt into it. After processing with a grinder, remove burrs with a needle file.
Drill a hole into which you can insert an M6 bolt.
Measure the appropriate belt length around the circumference of the oil filter housing.
Drill a hole 2 cm from the ends of the belt.
Fold the ends and insert into the groove of the head, then secure the belt by inserting the bolt into the hole and tightening the nut.

How to unscrew any oil filter, universal wrench
To make the second type of puller, you will need a welding machine. With its help, you need to weld a bicycle chain to the end head.

Before purchasing a universal puller or a special wrench for removing oil filters, pay attention to the dimensions of the product. On some cars, difficulties with unscrewing arise precisely because of the tight layout of the engine compartment

About the manufacturers

A domestic motorist choosing a filter for his VAZ 2114 has two options: buy a domestic “original” or a foreign analogue.

It is important to take into account that Russian filters have three weaknesses:

bad filter element;
weak bypass valve;
the price is higher than that of foreign analogues (190 rubles).

MANN oil filter

If a motorist decides to choose a foreign-made filter (which is cheaper due to the RRP policy), he should pay attention to:

Mann W914/2 – price 170 rub. A high-quality German product that does not cause any complaints from motorists. It won’t let you down even after 10 thousand km. aggressive exploitation.
Sakura TC-25011K – price 150 rub. A Japanese filter that surpasses the domestic one in terms of its characteristics, but is not worth saving 20 rubles on Mann. The main weakness is the violation of the integrity of the filter elements.
FRAM PH5660 – price 230 rub. It has an increased filtration area and general reliability, but is too often counterfeited by domestic craftsmen, so it is extremely difficult to find the original.

WORTH KNOWING! If a motorist is really concerned about the question of whether a low or high oil filter is better for the VAZ 2114, there is only one answer - it’s not significant. The main thing is that it meets the technical characteristics of the car, namely the bypass valve opens to 1.2 Bar, and the filter itself is suitable in size. The original filters of VAZ cars were long until model 2108, after which a shorter version began to be used.

MAHLE oil filter

How and with what can this be done?

We suggest you familiarize yourself with the main methods that will allow you to dismantle the filter device with your own hands.

User Andrey Florida in his video explained how to replace the oil filter and what options are available for dismantling it.

Can you twist it by hand?

There are special tools for dismantling the filter device. But you can also unscrew it yourself. If the sticking of the device is strong, a tool or improvised devices will be required for dismantling.

Special key

You can use a special key to unscrew it. This is an effective method, but to implement it you will need to purchase a tool. You will find several key options on sale:

chain;
clamping tool;
tape;
screw puller.

We recommend: Replacing the handbrake cable on a VAZ 2107

How to use it correctly?

To unscrew it with a chain or other special wrench, hook the filter device with a tool, securely fix it and remove it by turning it counterclockwise.

Chain type removal tool Special wrench with clamp for filter removal

Rope (belt) and screwdriver

To remove the device without a tool, use a belt or rope with a screwdriver:

A screwdriver is used to pierce the body of the filter device, as a result of which the tool is used as a lever. When using a screwdriver, you need to pierce the element right through, this will make twisting more effective.
When using a belt or rope, the dismantling method simulates the use of a special key. The strap should be wide and made of leather or leatherette. A loop is made, after which it is tightened on the device itself counterclockwise. For quick dismantling, give a sharp tug on the rope or strap. The removal process may be difficult due to the strap slipping. Then insert a piece of sandpaper into the loop itself and perform the described steps again.

Hammer and long screwdriver

This method of unscrewing a part is similar to the screwdriver method. Its implementation is relevant if you pierced the filter, but could not move it from its place. Then dismantling the device is possible by applying force from blows with a hammer to the screwdriver handle.

Hammer and chisel

If these dismantling methods do not help or the housing of the filter device is damaged, then use a chisel instead of a screwdriver. Make a small notch on the part for the chisel to rest against. We begin to hit the instrument with a hammer. This usually helps to quickly unscrew the filter.

Homemade instrument

You can change the filter and dismantle the device with a homemade puller. The operating principle of such a tool is identical to a special key.

You will learn about making your own dismantling tool from the video. The material was filmed and made public by the kv3st channel.

You need to build such a device yourself:

You will need a bicycle chain, or rather a section of it. When dismantling the filter in domestically produced VAZ cars, the optimal chain size is 30 links.
The chain is connected into a ring; a lock or rivet is used for fixation.
You will need an unnecessary head from a 19 or 22 socket wrench. You need to make a cut in it that matches the size of the bicycle chain.
Install the extension into the connecting square hole on the head. Use an awl or ratchet. For reliable fixation, the diameter of the extension must be equal to the size of the hole.
Unscrew the filter device by turning it counterclockwise.

The use of this method is relevant if there is free space around the device. Hook the oil filter housing with the tool and use its handles as a lever. Be careful not to damage other powertrain components. Be careful as some oil will come out of the filter when removing it.

How to change the oil filter on a VAZ 2114?

Now that the car enthusiast understands which oil filter is best for the VAZ 2114, or more precisely how to choose it, all that remains is to figure out how to change it.

To do this you will need a number of tools:

key to 17;
flat-head screwdriver (special key, if available);
rubber gloves and rags to avoid chemical burns;
a container into which the old lubricating fluid will be drained.

Special wrench for removing the oil filter

The algorithm for performing the procedure itself is as follows:

You warm up the car, to do this, leave it idling until the temperature reaches 80 degrees; to speed up this process, you can “turn on the gas.”
Place a container to drain the oil, put on gloves and place rags nearby. The liquid and the filter itself will be hot, which means safety precautions must be followed.
Unscrew the old oil filter. You can try to do this by hand, but if the filter “sticks” due to violation of operating conditions, you will have to use a special wrench.

Working with a special key

ADVICE! If you don’t have a key and you can’t unscrew the filter by hand, you can use a screwdriver - just pierce the filter housing with it and use it as a lever.

Check for the presence of a seal on the filter; if it is not there, it is stuck to the body - it must be carefully removed.
Clean the filter mounting area from dirt and other elements that can get into the oil.
Fill the new filter halfway with oil and wait 10 minutes until the filter element is saturated, then treat the seal with oil and screw in the new filter.
Start the car and let it idle for 5 minutes, then check the oil pressure gauge and that there are no leaks around the filter.
