Top 10 Oils for Priory
Do not grease - you will not go
Author: Stepan Kagner
You can have different attitudes to the car, which has long been associated with many people with Adidas shorts and suspensions, but they can’t be denied popularity: more than a million were released, and in 2009 and 2012 the model became the bestseller of our market.
However, despite the prevalence and continuity with the previous vazovskimi models, the question "which oil is better to pour in Priora?" Is still relevant. However, if we consider the variety of oils in our stores, such questions have a certain meaning.
When choosing any operational fluid, it is necessary to make a start primarily on the peculiarities of the operation of its aggregates. That is, speaking of engine oil for the "Priors", we need to choose those oils that will work in the engines of average passenger size by average force. But it was at Prior that the plant at one time began to install “short” pistons - lightweight, but having increased specific pressure on the skirt at the moments of transfer, so it’s not worth saving on anti-friction and extreme pressure additives. Let's not forget about the presence of hydraulic compensators in 16-valve engines, so we need good pumpability at low temperatures and stability of viscosity at high.
At the same time, the requirements of the plant itself are very liberal: in the list of recommended oils there are synthetic 5W30, and even mineral water 20W50 from Slavneft. The quality group, which is quite logical for a medium-speed cast-iron motor, will even suit API SG, there is not much point in pursuing modern “environmentally-friendly” SM / SN oils. So the choice of oils for the Priory motor is wide - and low cost for “moving from A to B”, and more expensive synthetics for those who like to drown the pedal to the floor.
Two types of transmissions were used on the Priore: “mechanics” (in two versions - with drawstring and cable drive) and “robot”. The insides of these boxes are similar in design and working conditions (in the end, the “robot” is the “mechanic”, in which the choice of gears and the clutch is controlled by the actuators, not the driver), therefore the requirements for oils are simple: compliance with the GL- standard 4 or GL-4/5, viscosity from 85W-90 (which is hardly reasonable north of Sochi) to 75W-80.

The best synthetic engine oil for Priory
|
Motul 8100 X-cess 5W40
3 248 (4 l)
If you do not pay attention to the price, which for the domestic car may seem excessive, we have one of the best oils for the Priory engine, if the car is not bought for a year and a half. Firstly, unlike the majority of synthetic fluids on a hydrocracking base, there is a full-fledged ester base providing good stability of characteristics (this is also hinted at by an indication of compliance with the requirements of the BMW LongLife tolerance on the package).Secondly, there is a good package of calcium and boron additives: analyzes of samples of mining do not show any significant increase in the aluminum content, so that the wear of pistons, beds of camshafts when using this oil will be minimal. Thirdly, Motul oils have already gained a reputation as “quiet” - this is normal for ester oils, even the hydraulic compressors on the Motulle, which are clicking on other synthetics 5W-40, stop making noise in many reviews.
Oil keeps viscosity well as it grows old, not “falling out” beyond the limits of the standard, demonstrates low ash content and minimal deposits. Alkaline number also allows you to not worry about the performance of the oil at standard replacement intervals. And, alas, only the price again spoils the impression. Main advantages:

LUKOIL Genesis Armortech 5W-40
1 487 (4 l)
Domestic manufacturer pleasantly surprised. "Lukoil", standing quite acceptable money, fits perfectly into the requirements of the standards, according to the results of analyzes of fresh oil, looking almost a double leader of the ranking of the best oils for Priora.
Of course, these oils behave differently in their work. Do not delay the replacement time: after 10 thousand, the “dips” of viscosity are already outside the requirements of the standard, that is, the oil on such runs can already “die”, especially in Moscow traffic jams. At the same time, the alkaline number also “fails”; the oil is actively beginning to pick up oxidation products. But if you follow the replacement time, it is difficult to find fault with Lukoil: wear indicators for aluminum are more or less noticeable only on samples “overdue” in mileage, which in itself indicates the importance of timely oil change. For iron, the indicators are quite normal, high figures can be seen only on samples from engines with a timing chain drive. "Priore" with her belt is nothing to fear. If we take into account the prevalence of oil and its price, then it is definitely worth recommending. Main advantages:

The smoke from replacement to replacement is microscopic, after 10 thousand oil flows out normally, not "water". |

ZIC X9 5W-40
1 657 (4 l)
In terms of composition, this is the most traditional 5W-40 oil: hydrocracking base, Infineum additive package, where ZDDP (phosphorus / zinc) is responsible for protection against wear, and calcium-boron additives for purity. And the viscosity, and evaporation, and the base number - strictly "according to the textbook."
Accordingly, it is simply strange to compare ZIC with most other 5W-40 brands of oils. They, in fact, differ in composition only within the range for different batches. And it behaves in the engine almost the same as Lukoil: providing good protection against wear and tear, withstanding cold temperatures, polluting the engine deposits to the minimum. And in the same way, it quickly “dies”: both the aging of the additive package, and the loss of the characteristics of the hydrocracking “base” itself progress from a certain point very quickly, the motor becomes noticeably noisier. To choose which oil to pour into the Priory engine — ZIC or Lukoil — rather, a question from a series of picture selection on the package. However, we took into account that the average price for ZIC is somewhat higher - but why overpay for the same result? Main advantages:

The best semi-synthetic engine oil for Priory
|
LUKOIL Lux 10W-40
833 (4 l)
Becoming a leader motor oil rating according to the Price Expert, this oil is even more worthy of being the best semi-synthetics for Priory. Let's start with the fact that it is spelled out in the service book of AvtoVAZ, and on the conveyor, it is quite likely that it was poured. And, indeed, it works perfectly well in the eight valve, in the sixteen valve motor: low aluminum content in the mining samples indicates the effectiveness of the applied additive package. Oil is acceptable for viscosity class 10W "keeps" low temperatures, while not turning into "water" when heated. All within the standard. Although, of course, I would like a lower viscosity at -30. The only "but" - the need to change the oil more often prescribed in many cases. Leisurely trips to the country - this is one thing, but Moscow traffic jams - this is quite another, then replacing less often 7-8 thousand "Lukoil" is contraindicated. But considering the price of a four-liter canister, this is not so expensive. Main advantages:

MOBIL Super 2000 X1 10W-40
1 410 (4 l)
This oil is approved by AvtoVAZ, so it’s definitely not worthwhile to doubt its applicability on Prior engines. Another thing is that its price is almost like that of the same LUKOIL synthetics, but the difference in low-temperature viscosity is already palpable: in the northern regions it is definitely worth adding a hundred rubles and choosing synthetics 5W-40.
But, in fairness, we note that in many respects this oil is close to hydrocracking synthetics. It was not for nothing that we mentioned earlier that the term “hydrocracking synthetics” is largely conditional and is close in meaning to “semi-synthetics”. And here we have both low evaporation and high flash point, traditional for HC-synthetics. The waste of oil between replacements will be small, and the motor itself will remain clean for a long time. The oil with normal use of the car can maintain its normal viscosity even at 15,000 kilometers, and the base number does not “fail”. But do not forget that at temperatures below -27 you may already have problems with a cold start - yet the low-temperature viscosity index 10W makes itself felt. Main advantages:

Best Mineral Engine Oil for Priory

Mannol Universal 15W-40
735 (4 l)
By the standards of mineral oils, “Mannol” is quite good, and a separate “plus” in his karma is for an honestly specified API SG class: frankly, it is difficult to believe in the SL often indicated on banks with cheap mineral water.
Abuse of reruns on it, of course, not worth it. First of all, due to the low base number, which does not give a large supply of anti-oxidation. On the other hand, it was not worth waiting for a large resource from mineral oil. But for a class of 15W, this oil has good low-temperature properties - the standard allows a freezing point and higher. Do not forget in winter that mineral water is filled with you, but there is no need to worry too much about it. Main advantages:

The best synthetic gear oil for Priory

ELF Tranself NFJ 75W-80
460 (1 l)
An excellent replacement for the factory-filled over-sized “Lukoil”: owners of VAZ cars are well known for their love of trying to drive forward in neutral gear in extreme cold. “Elf” remains liquid even in extreme cold, providing the most efficient gearbox lubrication at the very beginning of movement, when the transmission case has not warmed up yet.
Especially it is necessary to think about the transition to this oil for owners of gearboxes with cable drive, deprived of the traditional for front-wheel "basins" tendency to leak through the rod backstage: synthetic, unlike factory oil, will flow through leaking seals much faster. Good spattering oil is particularly relevant when measured driving, and at the same time, the oil holds well and load. Main advantages:

I chose which oil to pour in the priors box, according to reviews on the forums. Stopped at ELF. Compared with the factory - two huge differences. In winter, you can start the car without squeezing the clutch, and she does not try to go by herself. Even the fuel consumption for the BC fell. |
The best semi-synthetic gear oil for Priors

LUKOIL TM-4 75W-90 GL-4
300 (1 l)
One of the recommended oils. It makes no sense to paint its properties in particular: this is the most classic gear oil for transmissions of front wheel drive cars. High anti-wear characteristics are due to sulfur additives (which, by the way, give transmission oils their characteristic smell). At the same time, the base contains a large proportion of hydrocracking synthetics, so the oil shows itself quite well both at high-speed driving and at low temperatures (again, the peak in the direction of Lukoil 80W-90, filled with the plant).
The stock on welding and wear spots here is compelled to have respect for the manufacturer: let the inertia of thinking and pushing to look towards foreign labels, Russian manufacturers have long pulled the level up to competitive. And given the price, Lukoil gets a head start. Main advantages:

The best mineral gear oil for Priory

TOTAL Transmission Gear 8 75W80
460 (1 l)
It was difficult to choose the best oil for Priory among the mineraloc available in our country. The fact is that, on the one hand, I would like to see mineral oil as cheap, but on the other hand, it should not cause problems during winter operation. Therefore, Total, the only mineral oil with a low-temperature viscosity index, will still be the best choice for Priory, despite the price.
Using this oil in Priore, you are guaranteed not to experience problems in freezing on the old box with the wings, or on the upgraded cable, where the thickening of the oil makes the gear shift noticeably more wadded. At the same time, the oil is not particularly demanding on the state of the glands, demonstrates good anti-wear properties. A product in dispute over price / quality, but definitely worthy of the “right of life”. Main advantages:

So what is better for Priory?
As befits a Russian car, the Priora is actually undemanding of fuel. Therefore, of course, you can safely apply and oil, our rating is not included.And the general recommendations will not shine with originality:
In the city, and especially in the metropolis, it is still better to use synthetics: frequent work at idle (and therefore low oil pressure), high temperatures, constant starting and stopping are the very conditions when synthetic oils manifest themselves best. This also applies to transmission oil: liquid "synthetic" will quickly begin to effectively lubricate the gearbox.
With frequent long trips, when the motor works for a long time in steady state, there is nothing to worry about semi-synthetics. And in the end, many semi-synthetic oils are not inferior to "pure synthetics". Moreover, the oil is aging in such conditions more slowly - and, therefore, the period from replacement to replacement can be quite large.
An old motor that actively consumes oil is, of course, better yet repaired. But before that, it is quite possible to feed him an inexpensive "mineral water», Not forgetting about warming up the engine in the winter and observing the terms of replacement.
Good luck on the roads!
