6 best gear oils for Lada Vesta

ZIC manufactures transmissions based on its own Yubase synthetic base oil and polyalphaolefins. Extreme pressure oil additives ensure stable operation even under extreme loads. The low freezing point allows Lada Vesta drivers to count on smooth switching even at minus 35. The oil has thermal and oxidative stability and retains its properties for a long time at high temperature loads. Car owners like the combination of price and performance of ZIC oil. True, there are isolated reviews in which they complain that after a while the box begins to howl. Most likely, their authors came across a fake.

Semi-synthetic gear oil from the domestic brand Rosneft was chosen by the automobile plant for its cars. With it, cars with manual transmission come off the assembly line, and it is recommended to pour it into the box in the future. The oil is multigrade and meets the requirements of foreign and domestic manufacturers of mechanical transmissions. It protects synchronizers that operate at high temperatures, ensures smooth operation of the gearbox and protects its parts that are subject to contact loads. Car owners like how the oil behaves in cold weather - it does not thicken, and the gears are stuck in with ease. But in the heat, some drivers think that it becomes quite liquid, which makes switching difficult.

Expensive, but popular European oil, which has enhanced extreme pressure characteristics and synchronizing properties. Effectively reduces temperature, increases the wear resistance of transmission elements, ensures its long and stable operation. Drivers like how the oil protects the components of the box from wear, how smoothly the gears switch with it. It behaves well in the heat and does not thicken in the cold, the box with Castrol is quieter.However, as is often the case, the more popular and better the product, the more attractive it is for counterfeit manufacturers. With Castrol oil, you need to be careful and buy it only in trusted places.

Synthetic CVT oil based on polyalphaolefins. It contains a complex of additives and inhibitors that are responsible for the stable operation of continuously variable CVT transmissions. The fluid retains excellent lubricity in severe frosts, has a high viscosity index and exhibits good oxidation stability. The oil perfectly protects the parts of the box from wear, cools, resists corrosion and foaming. Car owners are satisfied with the quality of the product, its performance in severe frosts and the smooth operation of the variator. However, the price of this transmission fluid is much higher than the cost of other popular brands of oils.

Synthetic Japanese CVT oil is liked by drivers for its combination of performance and affordable cost. This is the most affordable NS-3 specification fluid, which is required for Lada Vesta Jatco JF015E CVTs. It reliably protects gears, drive chain, bearings and seals under high temperature loads and high pressure. Drivers note that with this oil, the variator works smoothly and silently. It retains its performance characteristics for a very long time and extends the life of the gearbox. The manufacturer claims that under normal operating conditions, the oil can not be replaced at all. But still, most drivers insure themselves and fill in a new one after 60-80 thousand km. The only drawback of the product is the lack of recommendations from the box manufacturer for its use.

Synthetic working fluid with excellent technical properties.A balanced package of additives maintains an optimal set of characteristics at low and high temperatures. The oil does not thicken in the cold, does not oxidize during use. It prevents the formation of corrosion on the metal parts of the box. The liquid is delicate to the seals, prevents the stretching of the seals, the appearance of cracks. Therefore, the risk of leakage is minimal, and the properties of the oil are enough, on average, for 60,000 km. With it, drivers experience smooth gear changes, quiet operation of the transmission and the absence of vibrations. However, the price of the working fluid seems to be a bit high for many.
