What kind of oil is poured into Renault Logan at the factory. Volume of oils and fuel fluids Renault Logan. The concept of admission and post-control

In honor of the anniversary, the companies created a new joint line of ELF Evolution RN-Tech lubricants.

In 2018, the ELF lubricants brand and the French automaker Renault celebrate the half-century anniversary of cooperation. Since 1968, when an oil recommendation agreement was signed between ELF and Renault, the companies have worked together, developed and achieved success in motorsport and business.

Over 50 years of collaboration, the companies have been able to achieve industrial growth throughout the world, increasing the efficiency and productivity of their products, and the recognition and trust of fans. Extensive collaboration experience and a shared commitment to innovation formed the basis of the new joint line of ELF Evolution RN-Tech lubricants, created in honor of the anniversary of the companies' cooperation.

New original high-quality synthetic lubricants comply with all current manufacturer approvals RN17, RN17 FE and RN RSA. Distinctive feature anniversary product, in addition to the branded one high performance and reliability, became a specially developed design of a limited collection.

The anniversary range of lubricants, created jointly by Renault and ELF, includes three types of oils designed to meet the needs of all model range Renault 2018 model year. So, for example, ELF Evolution RN-Tech Sport 0W-40 oil is adapted to the operating conditions of Renault Sport engines, as well as for use in the most severe climatic and urban conditions. Finally, ELF Evolution RN-Tech Elite FE 0W-20, which exceeds technological standards and ACEA (European Automobile Manufacturers' Association) emission standards, improves fuel economy by up to 3%* in Renault vehicles by reducing friction in the engine (*according to the official M111FE fuel efficiency improvement test).

“Over the past 50 years, ELF and Renault have jointly responded to the challenges of our time and achieved impressive results,– comments Mathieu Soulas, Vice President of Total Lubrifiants, – We do not intend to stop, because with Renault we are able to solve any environmental, technical and business problems that may arise in the future.”

“Companies have been cooperating in Russia for more than 10 years. TOTAL VOSTOK and Renault Russia strive to bring Russian market technical expertise, international innovative technologies and developments in order to develop the local market and improve the quality of customer service. Thanks to this partnership, an increasing number of Russians are choosing the products of our companies.”, says Fabien Voisin, General Director of TOTAL VOSTOK.

Principles of partnership between ELF and Renault

The excellent results of the collaboration between ELF and Renault are based on four main principles:

1) Cooperation in the field of research and development of lubricants and fuels for first fill in RENAULT factories and for after-sales service of vehicles. To ensure that the benefits of using special motor oils are felt already within the first kilometer of your Renault's run, we, together with RENAULT technical services, are constantly working to improve them. To receive a RENAULT recommendation, our products undergo many tests, and only after them the oil production process is started in our high-tech factories. Thus, the result of successful technical cooperation was the creation of a series of non-replaceable gear oils for RENAULT boxes and a series of original oils that reduce fuel consumption.

2) Systematic collaboration with ELF on the development of original oils ELF is the main supplier of the Renault-Nissan alliance (especially for transmission oils in many countries).

4) Advanced cooperation in motorsport

The Total Group and the Renault Engine Division have an exclusive technical and marketing collaboration in the field of Formula 1,

ELF and RENAULT: common values and history

RENAULT and ELF share common image values: innovation, technical expertise, motorsport. Undoubtedly, racing is the best way to test our products in action - motor and transmission oils, engines and gearboxes – which are often developed simultaneously... and always with unabated enthusiasm.

Renault Logan cars are the most popular foreign cars in Russia recently. This is due both to a fairly good price-quality ratio and to their efficiency and unpretentiousness. Based on the warranty program provided by Renault, service, which includes an oil change, is done after reaching mileage of 15,000, 30,000, 45,000, 75,000 and 105,000 kilometers, or after reaching a year of operation (the warranty period provided by the company is three years ). Looking at the recommendations of the Renault company, branded service centers use ELF Evolution SRX 5w30 and 5w40 motor oils (although the service can sometimes use another brand). In the case when the service independently uses oil of a different brand, this is not reflected in the warranty, but in the case when the initiative comes from the owner of the car, a special note is made in the service book and, when a warranty case occurs, difficulties with warranty repairs may arise.

Mechanisms wear out over three different periods:
The rubbing parts are worn into one another. During this period there is increased wear and tear
Parts wear out slowly over a long period of time
Wear with increased progression due to the end of the engine's service life.

The oil that is recommended by the manufacturer (ELF Evolution SRX 5w30) is classified according to the ACEA system as A1B1, characterized as energy-saving (if the canister has the inscription “Full Economy”). This oil is mainly intended for those engines that have not been boosted and do not have turbocharging and require the use of oils with a low viscosity index at high temperature. The oil film of such oils is very thin, which allows them to be used with new internal combustion engines, allowing them to reduce fuel consumption. For worn-out engines, oil of greater thickness is required, which will compensate for the increasing gaps in the friction pairs.
Oil marked 5w40 corresponds to ACEA classification A3B4, as a result of which it is recommended for use in gasoline engines that have undergone boost and diesel engines supercharged engines, with which it is recommended to use oil with low viscosity at high temperatures, which is compensated by a high shear rate. The viscosity of such oils is higher, and this does not allow the oil film to break in heavily loaded friction pairs of engines of this type.
Prices for oil of this brand start at 1,500 rubles per container. In addition, ELF brand oils are used, but without the “evolution” designation. This oil has a price of 450 rubles per liter.
From this it follows that oils of this brand (by the way, they are made in France) can be found by customers with a wide range of incomes.

The owners of cars of this brand themselves say in their reviews that in addition to the factory one, other oils can be used. Here, for example, is what one of them says:
- although the manufacturer recommends ELF 0w30, 5w30, 5w40 oils, changing them after 15 thousand kilometers, it is advisable to change the oil every 10,000 kilometers. In this case you can use Mobil oil Super 3000X1 5w40.
Some believe that the Renault Logan engine will accept any oil from 0w30 to 5w40, as long as this oil has the Renault RN0700 approval. Other Renault Logan owners use Elf Excelium NF 5w40 oil and are quite satisfied with it. For cold regions (such as Siberia), it is desirable to use oil (synthetic) from almost any manufacturer with a rating from 0w30 to 0w50.
There are also such owners Renault Logan who use Mannol 5w40 oil all year round and say that everything is fine with them.
Here are reviews from several more owners of these cars:
- I use Total Quartz oil. Moreover, I used it with all the cars I owned, and there were no problems. I have never used “branded” oils and do not recommend them to anyone: automakers do not produce their own oils, but negotiate with auto chemical manufacturers (and one can only guess about the quality of their products).
- There is no point in using expensive oils (they won’t save the situation anyway) - this is the wrong approach. It is necessary to use oil that is suitable for severe conditions and change it more often. For example, you can use the most ordinary LukOil with the necessary approval, changing it after 5 thousand kilometers - and the engine will be preserved much better.
Sometimes you can also use oils like Liqui Molly Superlehlauf 10w40: when using this type of oil, there is no carbon deposits on the valves and there is always good starting at low temperatures
However, if you follow the instructions of the manufacturer, which states that you must use only ELF oils (and the company will never give bad advice), then the maintenance-free mileage will be maximum and these oils are not very expensive in price. The main thing, in this case, is not to run into a fake, of which there are now quite a few on the car accessories market.

Now let’s try to understand the price range of various oils that different owners pour into their Renault Logan.
Catrol Magnatek (synthetic) 5w40 1 liter capacity will cost from 400 rubles
Elf Excellium (synthetic) NF 0540-EXNF-1 5w40 1 liter capacity from 290 rubles
Mobile Delvac extra 10w40 (semi-synthetic) 4 liter capacity from 1170 rubles
Mobile1 Peak Life (synthetic) 5w50 4l capacity from 1690 rubles
Mobil1 New Life (synthetic) 5w30 4l capacity from 1800 rubles
Here is an approximate price range of oils used with Renault Logan cars.

Renault Logan is a specially designed subcompact car model for young and developing countries. The main production is established in Romania. In the CIS countries, assembly shops have been open only since 2005.

The line of power units is not very diverse: gasoline engines with volumes of 1.4 and 1.6 liters and one diesel engine of 1.5 liters in eight and sixteen valve versions. The engine layout is front-wheel drive, front-wheel drive with a 4×2 wheel arrangement.

In general, the model is characterized positively, it maintains its service life, there are no special complaints. Of course, subject to compliance with the basic rules and operating recommendations. Lately we have been receiving a lot of questions on the topic of what oil to pour into the Renault Logan engine. Obviously, this is due to the wide range of products in car dealerships and it is difficult for owners to right choice. In order to provide methodological recommendation, consider the types of oils approved for use by the manufacturer.

Choosing oil for the Renault Logan 1.6 engine

You can pour any oil into the engine, but not every one of them is suitable or beneficial. At this stage, many inexperienced motorists make a typical mistake - they fill in what is cheaper. There are often cases of saving money on periodic inspections. The motivations for such ignoring are very different, ranging from the desire to save money to personal absent-mindedness.

So, what kind of oil should you fill in? A clear answer to the question posed is given by the operating instructions - ELF Evolution SXR 5W40 or ELF Evolution SXR 5W30. It follows from this that only synthetic base, and regardless of the type of power system power unit.

Choosing oil for the Renault Logan 1.4 engine

What kind of oil should I pour into a 1.4-liter Renault Logan engine? To obtain the correct answer, you must refer to the factory operating instructions. The requirements state that:

engines of all types, except 1.9 CDi - 5W40;
diesel units with installed particulate filter catalytic type - 5W30;
gasoline and gas engines - 5W30;
The use of a semi-synthetic base is allowed, but only for diesel options - 10W40.

The above information is enough for the owner to determine for himself what type of lubricant should be used. If difficulties arise, the owner always has the opportunity to receive qualified assistance from sellers - consultants of a car shop or car market.

When purchasing oils, always pay attention to the presence of basic protective elements on the plastic canister, barcode, detailed description manufacturer.

How much oil does Renault Logan need?

Experienced car owners always go by eye; for them, instructions are not a decree. In order not to harm the car engine, it is recommended to refer to the regulatory document. In this case, this is an instruction manual for a technical device. The regulations establish:

for a power unit with a volume of 1.6 liters - filling capacity should not exceed 4.80 l;
for an engine with a volume of 1.4 liters - 3.35 liters.

Moreover, the data is indicated in the first case for 16 valve mechanism, in the second – for 8. The manufacturer strongly recommends the use engine oil ELF Evolution SXR series with synthetic base.

Exceeding the level or underfilling it leads to negative consequences in the form of a major overhaul of the power unit.

It is necessary to take into account such a moment as the mileage of the car. If we are talking about quick repairs, including major ones, then the use of mineral or semi-synthetic bases is allowed. True, in the pre-repair period, not earlier. As the experts say, in the last month of operation you can no longer harm the engine.

Admit technical condition a car like this is a sign of poor care on the part of the owner. In most cases similar situations are regarded as the exception rather than the rule. In order to increase the service life of the car or not significantly reduce it, it is recommended to carry out a technical inspection and refill with high-quality, original oil.

The best oil for Renault car Logan has always been considered the one recommended by the factory that produces this model. In all Renault service centers, during routine maintenance to replace engine lubricant, oil from the French brand ELF is filled. In rare cases, TOTAL oil may be offered, which is produced by the same plant as ELF. They even have the same retail containers.

Of course, the owner may not agree with the oils recommended by the factory and act at his own discretion. Here are the most common reasons for this:

As a rule, the search for the best oil occurs after warranty period, and is caused by a frank desire to perform a simple procedure yourself, and not pay for services for changing engine oil at an official service center;
When purchasing independently original oil you can easily purchase a counterfeit, so a lubricant with more reliable protection against counterfeiting is selected;
The desire to save money on purchasing oils and, as a result, choosing brands with a more affordable price. This reason is most common for owners of earlier model years;
Advice from friends, acquaintances or work colleagues who use a different, in their opinion, higher quality oil in their cars.

The Renault concern has developed tolerance standards for the quality of oils used in cars. According to API classification, the characteristics of oils must correspond to classes SL, SM and SN. In addition, ash content, the presence of necessary additives, etc. should be taken into account. Any engine oil that meets the requirements and operating temperature (the lower the ambient temperature, the lower the oil viscosity should be) can be used to lubricate the Renault Logan engine. When making a selection of motor oils for our rating, we took into account not only the above requirements. The decision-making was greatly influenced by reviews from owners who fill Renault Logan with oils from other manufacturers, recommendations from mechanics who deal with the repair of engines of this brand in their work, and the popularity of the brand among car enthusiasts.

Best synthetic oil

This category of lubricants is most consistent with modern car engines. Less susceptibility to operation at high temperatures and preservation of lubricating properties and specified fluidity in cold weather allows uninterrupted lubrication of friction pairs in the motor, even at peak loads. For Renault Logan cars, especially with low mileage, you should fill exclusively with synthetics.

5 Lukoil Luxe Synthetic 5W-30

Best price in category
Country Russia
Average price: 1,240 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.2

Domestic oil not only has excellent properties, but has also received Renault RN 0700 approval and can be used in the corresponding Renault Logan engines. The oil is ready to provide the engine with reliable protection under difficult operating conditions. Cleans the engine perfectly and prevents the formation of sludge deposits, suppresses oxidative processes at high temperatures, and can increase engine power.

In their reviews, car owners who fill Lukoil Luxe Synthetic note a decrease in noise when the engine is running, fuel economy, and the absence of the influence of severe frosts on engine starting. Laser notches, polymer stickers and technological features of the lid on the canister provide reliable protection and completely prevent counterfeit products from appearing on the market.

4 WOLF VITALTECH 5W40

No fakes on the market. Stable viscosity characteristics
Country: Belgium
Average price: RUB 1,762.
Rating (2019): 4.5

The lubricant is based on the highest quality base oils and a set of modern additives of the latest generation. As a result, WOLF VITALTECH has excellent fluidity at low temperatures, good antioxidant properties, and extended service life. The engine oil has received approval and recommendations from the Renault Logan manufacturer, so it can be safely used not only in a 1.6-liter engine, but also in a more economical 1.4-liter engine. The increased viscosity of this oil is also ideal for engines with wear.

Reviews characterize the product as high-quality; the low prevalence in the domestic market is positively assessed, which is the best guarantee of the absence of counterfeits. The last statement is also considered a drawback of the oil, because it is rarely found in car stores and markets.

3 BP Visco 5000 5W-40

Better engine protection against deposits
Country: England
Average price: RUB 1,468.
Rating (2019): 4.7

BP Visco is time-tested and meets all the requirements for oils for Renault Logan. The unique Clean Guard additive system carefully cleans the engine of previously formed sludge and varnish deposits, and prevents combustion products entering the oil from settling on the surfaces of parts, significantly increasing the service life of the engine.

Those who pour this motor oil into the engine of their Renault Logan note easy starting of the engine even in very severe frosts, quieter operation of the unit, as well as a noticeable reduction in fuel consumption. In addition, reviews indicate the possibility of year-round use of the oil, an increased interval between changes and the absence of changes in characteristics by the end of its service life.

2 Motul 8100 Eco-clean 5W-30

Reliable engine wear protection
Country: France
Average price: RUB 4,566.
Rating (2019): 4.8

Ideal motor oil for the modern Renault Logan engine. When switching to its use, owners in reviews note quieter and smoother engine operation and fuel economy. The oil does not have factory access to use in Renault Logan, as it is in the premium segment of motor oils and pouring it into this car is more than expensive. At the same time, the oil parameters fully comply with Renault requirements and there are many drivers who fill Motul 8100 Eco-clean into their Logan.

In the reviews, they note positive changes in the operation of the engine - it becomes more economical (noted on gasoline engines with a volume of 1.6 liters), works much quieter and more stable, and also carefully maintains the internal cleanliness of the unit to a very high standard. high level. The only drawback is the high cost of the product.

1 ELF EVOLUTION 900 NF 5W40

This best oil, which can be safely poured into the Renault Logan engine. It is available not only in all Renault service centers, but is also present at many car oil dealers. When purchasing online or in retail, you should be very careful not to purchase a counterfeit. The high quality of the lubricant and its great popularity in our country (ELF is poured not only into cars of the Renault group, but also into many other cars, including domestic ones) has become the reason why, under the guise of a branded product, scammers sell to consumers a surrogate that has little common with ELF EVOLUTION engine oil.

Reviews from car enthusiasts confirm good cleaning properties, lubricant stability under high loads, and low waste. There is also a fuel saving effect. Among the shortcomings, there is a lack of effective protection against counterfeiting.

The best semi-synthetic oil

The design of the Renault Logan engine allows the use semi-synthetic oil only with significant engine wear (mileage 400,000 km or more). Synthetics cannot fully fill the increased gap and provide high-quality lubrication of parts. This is especially true for engines with a volume of 1.6 liters. But even in these cases, the choice must be approached carefully, since not all semi-synthetics can be used in Renault Logan.

3 TEXACO Havoline Extra 10W-40

The most durable lubricant
Country: USA
Average price: RUB 1,449.
Rating (2019): USA

It has Renault approvals and is ideal for Renault Logan engines with intensive use in difficult conditions. Base oil components and additives ensure stable viscosity, good protection from corrosion and from the formation of internal deposits.

Owners who have started filling Renault Logan with Havoline Extra note the almost complete absence of waste, excellent cleaning properties, and the quality of the engine oil matches more expensive and popular brands. The reviews also note the absence of counterfeit products on the market. The disadvantage is that it is not always available for sale in specialized retail outlets. But with the help of the Internet (to make an accurate choice, you should know the article number) you can always purchase it in advance.

2 Castrol MAGNATEC 10W40

Better engine protection
A country: England (Produced in Belgium)
Average price: 1,235 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.6

The group of Intelligent Molecules additives gives the oil the ability to “cling” to rubbing surfaces and remain on parts even when the engine is not running. Thanks to this technology, when starting the engine even in cold weather, there is not a split second of friction pairs operating without lubrication, which significantly increases the service life.

In their reviews, Renault Logan owners talk about the oil’s ability to gently cleanse the engine of previously accumulated sludge - just a couple of changes are enough. The properties of engine oil when operating under extreme loads make it possible to save the engine from overheating. High temperature stability is an obstacle to the formation of sludge deposits. The reviews also note the main drawback - the possibility of purchasing a cheap fake under the guise of a quality product, which can not only disappoint the consumer with quality, but also harm the engine.

1 LIQUI MOLY Top Tec 4100 5W40

The most environmentally friendly oil
Country: Germany
Average price: 3,110 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.8

The manufacturer also allows this oil to be poured into Renault Logan - the oil composition meets the requirements of Renault RN 0700/RN 0710. Owners in their reviews note improved fuel economy and easy starting at sub-zero temperatures. In models with a 1.6 liter engine. a noticeable increase in service life - maintenance-free operation with a mileage exceeding 500 thousand km. At the same time, the transition to this engine oil occurred after 200 thousand km.

From this article you will learn how to change engine oil in Renault Logan, the frequency of replacement, what oil to fill in 1.4 and 1.6 liter eight and sixteen valve engines.

So, let's begin.

No one canceled maintenance

Renault Logan is one of the most popular cars in the budget segment. Inexpensive, unpretentious and quite reliable, it has won recognition among car enthusiasts.

But like any other car Reno Logan requires periodic Maintenance, and this applies to all components of the car - power plant, transmission, chassis, body, etc.

As for the power unit, perhaps one of the most important maintenance operations is changing the oil.

While the car is under warranty, these works are included in the list service, but after the end of this warranty, this operation falls on the shoulders of the car owner.

However, changing oils is not such a complicated operation that you need to contact specialists every time, because you can do it yourself, saving money.

When to change, what and how much to fill?

Let's start with the fact that the frequency of oil changes in this car, which is set by the manufacturer, is 15 thousand km. But this is only the case if the car covers the same mileage throughout the year.

If it does not cover such a distance in a year, then the oil will still have to be changed, since the manufacturer’s documentation indicates that the oil should be changed once a year, even if the car is practically not used.

As for the lubricant, then here the manufacturer indicates the oil from the manufacturer ELF recommended for use in the engine.

It is this company that fills the materials in official service centers.

For engines installed on Renault Logan, you should purchase oils with a viscosity of 5W30, 5W40, 10W40.

As for the amount of lubricant to be poured, it all depends on the power plant used and its design features.

For engines of 1.4 and 1.6 liters with an 8-valve timing belt, it is necessary to prepare 3.3 liters of oil, but for a 1.6-liter unit with a 16-valve timing belt, 4.8 liters are already required. This must be taken into account before starting work.

In any case, it is better to purchase oil with a little reserve, so that there is always at least 1 liter in the trunk of the car for refilling.

It is also better to buy new lubricant at known and reliable points of sale.

The amount of lubricant to be filled is indicated approximately.

The fact is that when draining, some of the oil will remain in the engine, so you do not always need to fill in the specified amount, but control it using a dipstick.

What else do you need?

During this operation, the oil filter is also replaced.

You need to purchase a filter with an identification number 7700274177 or 8200768913 , they are interchangeable and original for this car.

But you can buy any filter, the main thing is that it is from a well-known manufacturer and also fits the overall dimensions.

But if you couldn’t get one, then instead of the old gasket you can install a regular copper gasket of the appropriate diameter.

About flushing the engine.

Recently, service stations began to indicate that when changing, it is necessary to flush the engine.

It really needs to be done, but only if oil from another manufacturer will be used.

If the lubricant manufacturer does not change, then flushing is not necessary.

What is needed for the work

Now let's look at how this operation is performed on a car with an 8-valve 1.4-liter Logan engine.

To complete all the work you don’t need much:

Special key in the shape of a square for 8 or 10;
Special key for removing the filter;
Container for draining (preferably wide);
New lubricant in the right quantity;
New filter;
Rags.

Having all this, you can start working. The sequence of actions is as follows:

Nuances of replacement on a 16-valve engine

As for the 16-valve engine, in addition to the amount of lubricant to be filled, there is one more nuance - access to the oil filter.

The fact is that access to it from the engine compartment will be hampered by the protective screen of the exhaust manifold, and from below by the protective crankcase.

You will have to remove one thing to access the filter, but what is up to the car owner to decide. Otherwise, the sequence of work is identical to that described.

Finally, some useful tips.

The key for removing the filter is usually needed only for dismantling; it is not needed during installation. Therefore, it is not necessary to have it on hand.
