Regular Maintenance car, a guarantee of durability of all systems and assemblies. An engine oil change is one of the most important processes which must be performed regularly. To replace Renault Logan on your own, you only need a small amount of knowledge and consistency in the work process. You will learn more about everything in our article, and the process of changing the oil in the engine will no longer be a taboo topic for do-it-yourself car maintenance.
What kind of oil to fill in the engine?
As you know, there are three types of engine oil:
- Mineral- an oil that is very unstable and capricious in its behavior, it is highly not recommended to use such a product at low temperatures, as it thickens, and detergents and anti-corrosion additives that are poured in tandem with oil simply burn out under the influence of high temperatures. Similar oil cheaper than their synthetic analogues, since when this product is obtained from oil, its molecular composition does not change in any way.
- semi-synthetic- oil recommended for replacement in engines with a mileage of more than 100,000 kilometers. Because it is thicker than synthetic, the possibility of leakage through cracked gaskets and seals is reduced. Such a lubricant is something between “mineral water” and “synthetics” in terms of performance and the golden mean in terms of price and quality. low temperatures it provides the easiest start.
- Synthetic– the type of oil recommended for use on all modern engines. Has the highest fluidity high level stability of its characteristics. Such oil is the least afraid of overheating and frost.
If you carefully read the manual from the manufacturer's factory, it will be clear that for the warranty and post-warranty service of "Logan" it is necessary to purchase and fill in oil trademark ElF (ELF Oil Evolution SXR 5W40 or ELF Evolution SXR 5W30).
In other cases, if nothing is known about the origin of the old oil, the engine should be flushed with special detergents. By following these simple rules and recommendations, the motor will serve for a long time.

old, new - after the capital pour 10W40
Yury (Paziah) Anton, 10 pour after 250 thousand and it depends on what condition the rings are in, but the EVOLUTION SXR 5W40 is recommended by the manufacturer in winter and summer, the engine has been tested on this oil Install yourself Dialogus
Korney (Mothudi) About engine oils
SAE classification, decoding 10W40
Deciphering the designation 10W 40 or correctly say SAE classification, is quite simple.
The first digit 10W indicates the temperature at which oil can be pumped through oil channels and engine cranking at startup. The second 40 indicates the viscosity of the oil when the engine is heated, respectively, the higher this indicator, the thicker the oil at operating temperature.
0W - 5W - 10W - 15W - 20W -25W
Rotation -30°C -25°C -20°C -15° -10°C-5°C
Pumpability -40°C -35°C -30°C -25°C -20°C -15°C
Application range depending on temperature °C
Viscosity class Temperature Range°C
5W - 30 from minus 25 to plus 20
5W - 40 from minus 25 to plus 35
10W - 30 from minus 20 to plus 30
10W - 40 from minus 20 to plus 35
15W - 30 from minus 15 to plus 35
15W - 40 from minus 15 to plus 45
20W - 40 from minus 10 to plus 45
20W - 50 from minus 10 to plus 45 and above
SAE 30 0 to plus 45
What can lead to misapplication?
Let's imagine what happens to the engine if it is operated at minus 30 ° C using 15W40 oil. When starting the engine oil pump will not be able to quickly drive the oil through all channels, which will damage the surfaces in need of constant lubrication. The pressure under such conditions will increase many times, which threatens to violate the integrity of the lubrication system.
Now imagine the reverse situation, when high temperature the viscosity of the oil will not be sufficient for normal operation engine, which will low pressure oils in lubrication system, and increased wear constantly rubbing parts and possibly to the knock of hydraulic lifters.
What oil to fill in in the summer, and what in the winter?
Based on the foregoing, conclusions can be drawn. Engine oil 10W40 is characterized as "all-weather" and is suitable for operation both in summer and in winter in those regions where the thermometer needle does not fall below -20 ° C. If the air temperature is much lower than this level, then it is recommended to use 5W40 or 0W40 oil, which will help the engine start at low temperatures.
Why does oil turn black?
Many motorists think that if the oil in the engine turns black, then something is wrong, they start stocking up on flushes, or worse, they think about overhaul. In fact, the result of darkening is right job engine oil. The situation can be much more deplorable when, when changing the oil, it remains as new and does not change its color.
Contemporary engine oil has many additives, the functions of some are to purify oil system engine from carbon deposits, slag and other contaminants. The right oil may darken after 1000 - 2000 kilometers, while the property of those same additives will not allow contaminants to remain in the lubrication system and timely replacement oil, all deposits will merge.
Don't forget!
Please note that with every minute of operation of your engine, the properties of the additives weaken and do not work properly, so take care of changing the oil on time!
Eduard (Sandford) Anton, Thank you, very clearly explained)))

Engine oil for Renault Logan! | Topic author: Nikolai
Tell me what engine oil is needed for Renault Logan. - Synthetics? - Tell, good company? - What volume in liters should be purchased?
Natalya What kind of ink is needed for the 5th grade? Oil must be selected not by brand, but by Nina quality grade and viscosity - 5W30 in winter, 10W40 in summer. Synthetics are a lyalka for dummies, it does not hold additives well and dissolves oil seals on inexpensive cars. Synthetics are relevant only for frosts minus pizzas ... Now about the brand. All are good, but... they do not reach the ordinary motorist, the Armenian oil trust regales him with refined mining. Therefore - take oil ONLY in tin cans, it’s unprofitable to fake them, and it’s useless, fools leading on cool brands and so full... Only in gesture! You can’t even take it on tap from barrels! I personally pour Yokki into all 4 cars of the family - 3 petrol and one diesel. Very satisfied. And in my spare parts stores I already bring only Yokki and original Toyota, of course - in tin, although the same Castrol could have taken wholesale 3 Peter times cheaper ...

The timeliness of changing the oil in the engine is the key to maintaining the performance of rubbing elements. quality liquid is able to prevent their premature wear and reduce the intensity of clogging of the lubrication circuit of the unit with abrasive products from abrasion. Many car owners are interested in the question, what kind of oil to fill?
Renault cars Logan is mostly equipped with 8-valve Renault engines: "K7M1.6" and "K7J1.4", as well as 16-valve engines - "K4M1.6". The latter are endowed with a slightly increased specific impact. They are also characterized by better mixture formation. But the 8-valve "brothers" boast of significant reliability, structural simplicity and maintainability. However, when asked what kind of oil to pour into the engine in different versions models, experts answer that in this fundamental difference No.
During standard operation motor resource Renault Logan can reach 400 thousand km.
So what is the correct oil to fill in? Here is the difference between these units in terms of the volume of engine oil poured into them:
- 1.6-liter 16-valve version (K4M) - 4.8 liters;
- 1.4-liter 8-valve variation (K7J) - 3.35 liters;
- 1.6-liter 8-valve version (K7J) - 3.4 liters.
And what kind of oil to fill in if you do not change the filter? If an oil change is implied without changing the filter element, then these volumes should be reduced by 0.3 liters. It is recommended to change the oil complete with a filter, since this element (not characterized by a high cost) prevents wear of the lubricant caused by the appearance of abrasive particles in its environment - products of the abrasion process.
What oil to pour into a 1.4-liter engine? It is recommended to change the lubricant in Renault Logan engines in versions 1.6 and 1.4 after every 15 thousand kilometers. If the conditions during the operation of the motor are very harsh, then the oil change interval should be reduced to about 8 thousand km. These terms should include the following:
- start moving without warming up the engine Renault Logan(especially relevant when operating with a flooded lubricant before the change of season, when the outdoor temperature reaches critical values in winter or summer);
- aggressive acceleration dynamics, accompanied by an exorbitant load on the unit.
While checking the oil level in the crankcase, you can make a visual assessment of its condition and assess the degree of need for replacement. The liquid should not have a black color and give off a burnt smell. If these factors are present, lubrication requires urgent replacement.
How to choose the right oil?
What is the best oil to fill? The Renault brand recommends using ELF Evolution SXR lubricant with indicators of "5W40" or "5W30" for Renault Logan model engines. Alternatively, it is possible to use a synthetic substance that is suitable according to the regulatory temperature criterion:
- "5W40";
- "5W30";
- sometimes - "0W30 AM".
When changing the lubricant, it is necessary to change the sealing ring on the drain plug and the filter element.
The specifications of these consumables are as follows:
- at the sealing ring for the cork - 11026 5505R.
- for the oil filter element - 7700274177 or 8200768913 (both options are identical).
Algorithm of actions for replacing in a 1.6-liter Logan unit
- We unscrew the plug on the neck for filling the lubricant.
- Under the crankcase of the Renault Logan engine version 1.4 and, accordingly, 1.6, we substitute a suitable container for collecting "working off".
- We remove the plastic protective plate of the crankcase (on the "8-valve" you can not dismantle the protection, since it has a technological cutout for the drain plug).
- We unscrew the drain plug on the pallet (with a square profile key to “9”).
- We wait until the grease is completely drained.
- During this time, we unscrew the body of the old filter element (we use a puller or other improvised means: a screwdriver, part of an emery sheet, etc.).
- Before installing a new element on Renault Logan, we lubricate its rubber ring with “fresh” oil.
- We install the filter by screwing its body onto the threaded channel in the motor by hand.
- Do not forget to install the sealing washer on the drain plug (consumable code - 1026 5505R).
- Fill in new grease.
- The fluid level should be slightly below the "MAX" mark on the dipstick.
- Screw the filler cap on valve cover.
- We start the engine and let it run for 5-6 minutes.
- Silence and wait 15-20 minutes.
- We control the level - it should be between the marks "MIN" - "MAX".
- We examine the location of the filter housing and drain plug and make sure there are no leaks.
- In order to correctly control the quality of the lubricant in Renault engine Logan should note the mileage at which this process was completed.
Now you have concluded for yourself what kind of oil to pour into the engine of the car. Before filling, it is recommended to flush the system with grease from the same manufacturer. To do this, pour about 1 liter of oil into the crankcase, start the engine and let it run for several minutes. We muffle and proceed to drain the lubricant. Flushing is carried out with the old filter element, along with which the contaminants will be removed during the replacement.
Engine oil Reno Logan determines its performance. If all gears are thoroughly lubricated, then the possibility of damage is excluded. Otherwise, a "snowball" of problems begins, following one after another. Vehicle reliability starts with the right choice oils.
System device
IN general view the lubrication system is arranged as follows: there is an oil pump, which is equipped with a crankshaft drive ( timing mechanism), and he distills oil from the pallet to the highway. The first part installed in the trunk is oil filter- it is required change periodically. When the oil filter is clogged, it opens bypass valve — oil goes bypassing the filter. If the pressure becomes redundant another valve is activated reduction. Through it, part of the liquid from the line goes into the sump.
With a lack oil pressure the switch contact opens, the indicator lights up. Diagnostic details include control probe- it is immersed in the engine tray. On motors K4M and K7M the probe is at different points.
List of important items and replacement process
You will need:
- Oil filler plug: items 7 and 1;
- Drain plug: located on the bottom of the engine sump;
- Oil filter housing: 19 and 6 respectively.
To unscrew the filter, need a puller. If it is not there, in the case closer to the bottom make a hole and then use an awl or screwdriver, like a lever. The filter is removed after draining the oil. Before installing a new filter, on the contrary, fill with oil.
The drain plug is unscrewed tetrahedron "on 8". There will be a washer under the cork. Replacement is allowed - a washer made of copper with an internal diameter 18 mm.
The original oil filter is suitable for all engines discussed here. Its Renault catalog number is 7700274177. Sellers, moreover, use the designation 7700274177FCR210134. Does Renault have a filter? 8200768913 also suitable. Good luck choosing.
What to pour and in what quantity
It is important to choose the right engine oil, otherwise the engine life may be reduced several times.
- For the K4M (16V) motor - 4.8 l, brand Elf Evolution SXR, viscosity 5W40;
- For 8-valve engines - 3.3 liters, brand Elf Evolution SXR, 5W30.
From the factory, the same oil will be poured into different Logan engines - Elf Excellium LDX 5W40. It's the W40, not the W30.
Intervals between substitutions for different motors do not differ: it is necessary to carry out replacement once a year or after every 15 thousand km. Oil index W40 is more viscous than W30. And in the engine with mileage 150-200 thousand it is better to pour a more viscous material.
All materials listed above are synthetic basis and refer only to "synthetics".
Different oils produced under the same brand can be mixed. For example, the W30 index at 100 degrees corresponds to the numbers "9.3-12.4", and the W40 index - "12.5-16.2". Make a choice.
Let's start the review by listing the quality classes according to ACEA. Any oil is suitable for Logan engines, if it belongs to "gasoline" class: A1, A2, A3, A5. That is, there are no restrictions here. But according to API classifications, three types of materials can be used: SL, SM, SN.
API oil quality classes
Now - as for the viscosity. You can use a simple table:
The temperature reaches:
- -30 Gr. C.: 0W40 and 0W30;
- -25 Gr. C.: 5W40 and 5W30, also 5W50 for older engines;
- -20 Gr. C.: 10W30, 10W40, 10W50;
- -15 Gr. C. and higher: 15W40, 15W50.
It is clear that the lower index material (5W below 10W) is more versatile. But it will also be more expensive.
What is better, Lada Largus or Renault Logan?
Largus is supplied with engines Renault models K4M (grade 16) and K7M (grade 8).
Motorists use oil Excellium NF 5W40, but it will no longer be possible to switch to a lower viscosity, W30. Know that material with higher viscosity is stronger coking. Good luck choosing!
By the way, this motor bends the valve when the timing breaks.
Replacement step by step
Know that it is better to drain the oil after warming up engine. The pallet and the material itself will be heated at the same time - the temperature can reach 70-80 degrees. You must comply with the limit caution. For more certainty, you can disconnect negative terminal: take a flat key “10”, loosen the nut, remove the terminal.
Engine oil change K4M, K7M-K7J
When the terminal off, perform the following actions:
- The car is rolled into the pit, part of the body is covered with a cloth;
- Unscrew filler plug;
- The drain plug must be twisted as follows: perform 1-2 turns with a key. Then the cork is unscrewed by hand. Under drainer it is better to substitute an empty container;
- Remember that the cork is puck you can't lose;
- Changing the filter to "16-valve", remove the crankcase protection. It is necessary to unscrew the six bolts located around the perimeter. Use the carob key "on 10";
- A puller is brought to the filter housing, dismantled. On the "8-valve" the puller is brought from above (from under the hood);
- Screw in the new filter hand, then a puller, but First, the filter cavity is filled with oil.
- The drain plug is put in place and twisted, the crankcase protection is returned to its place;
- New oil is poured through the top filler neck. In this case, a funnel made from a plastic bottle.
Traces of old oil should be wiped off immediately.

Lubricant compliance with the machine manufacturer's recommendations is prerequisite for normal engine operation. In this article, we will describe which engine oil is recommended for Renault Logan for winter or summer, and we will also indicate the possibility of using all-weather fluids.
Lubricant selection is made in accordance with the vehicle operating instructions. The Renault Logan manufacturer recommends filling in the original lubricant or similar quality characteristics liquids. According to the manual for the car, the recommended engine oil for Renault Logan meets design features type power unit.
The season in which the vehicle will be operated also affects the selection of lubricant. For harsh winters and hot summers, synthetic or semi-synthetic lubricants are chosen. Mineral car oil does not change its original properties at a very limited range of operating temperatures, it is used in a moderate temperature regime.
Engines 1.6 K7M, 1.4 K7J, 1.6 K4M, 1.4 K4J, 1.2 D4F
According to the manual, for these types of motors it is recommended to use motor oils that meet the parameters (see table 1):
Option 1
- Class RN 0700;
- Class according to ACEA -A2, A
The viscosity of the oil is selected according to the temperature range of the region in which the car will be operated:
- 10W-40 at temperatures above -15 0 C or -20 0 C;
- 5W-30, 5W-40 if temperature indicator above -25 0 С;
- 0W-30, 0W-40 at a low temperature index of more than -30 0 С.
Option 2
according to API classification - oil classes SL or SM;
Viscosity:
- 15W-40, 15W-50 are used at temperatures above -15 0 С;
- 10W-30, 10W-40, 10W-50 at a low temperature index of more than -20 0 С;
- 5W-30, 5W-40, 5W-50, at temperatures above -25 0 С;
- 0W-30, 0W-40 is used when the thermometer is above -30 0 С.
Application of tolerances on the canister with lubricant is carried out only with the consent of the machine manufacturer. This marking indicates the possibility of using car oil for specific brand car. The Renault Logan manufacturer carried out joint developments with Total, as a result of the efforts made, a high-quality synthetic product, corresponding technical parameters this car. Recommended engine oil for Renault Logan for petrol engines:
- Elf EXCELLIUM LDX 5W-40;
- Elf EXCELLIUM 5W-50;
- ELF COMPETITION STI 10W-40;
- Elf Sporti 15W-40.
Reduced consumption fuel mixture, at outside air temperature vehicle below -15 0 С contributes motor fluid Elf Evolution 5W-30.
The use of the above motor oils provides the following advantages:
- protection of the power unit from overheating;
- stabilization of the motor;
- pumping engine oil through the lubrication system at low temperatures and starting the engine without warming up.
Conclusion
The car engine has gaps in friction pairs. To fill them, the car oil must have an optimal density. The use of a thicker or liquid lubricant negatively affect the operation of the power unit. Therefore, when choosing an oil, it is worth taking into account the parameters of the recommended engine oil for Renault Logan. Bay inappropriate for viscosity characteristics lubricating fluid, you may damage the motor.
