The classic VAZ story continues on the road, showing that even ten years after the last seven rolled off the line, the legendary Zhiguli still demands careful maintenance. Whether kept as a museum piece or put to work on rough roads, these cars deserve proper care to stay dependable and safe.
Which filter to choose? The vehicle covers some miles. An annual oil change is sensible, and for longer trips a change at every 7000 kilometers is prudent. When the oil is changed, it is paired with a new oil filter to keep the system clean and efficient.
The oil filter named Behind the Wheel offers a solid balance of affordability, effective oil cleaning, and high dirt-holding capacity. It suits four wheel drive VAZ models as well, making it a versatile option for owners seeking reliability and value.
Historically, filters for classic motorcycles differed in size from those used in front wheel drive models. Over time, the range simplified with universal, compact options entering the market. Yet a larger oil filter with a broad filtering surface is often preferable for older engines where high dirt capacity translates to longer service intervals. Za Rulem Trade House presents such high-capacity filters ideal for classic Zhiguli engines.
For air filtration in injection engines of the classic Zhiguli line, a square-shaped design is typically favored. This characteristic is common across many four wheel drive and front wheel drive vehicles from AVTOVAZ to modern grants, featuring ample fabric area, robust curtain strength, and low air resistance. While many contemporary foreign cars use filters with smaller surfaces, the square profile benefits older, dustier routes where cleanliness is crucial.
The air filter from Behind the Wheel is built with a reliable design, incorporating a reinforcement mesh to prevent tearing of the filtration curtain even in heavy pollution or high humidity. This contributes to consistent engine performance, especially under challenging conditions.
When an engine uses a fuel injection system, it is essential to guarantee high quality gasoline filtration. Since many classic family cars operate in remote areas where fuel quality can vary, a quality fuel filter is a wise investment, and regular replacement helps protect the engine. The Behind the Wheel fuel filter is praised for its balance of quality and affordability, making it a practical choice for classic Zhiguli owners.
The Behind the Wheel gasoline filter is compatible with all classic family vehicles and with all wheel drive models that use a threaded pipe connection. It supports dependable fuel purification across a range of configurations.
Brake with confidence!
Brake pads are a common consumable, and replacing them before wear becomes excessive is important. If the pads wear down too far, it can compromise the brake disc and lead to additional issues. It is also risky when pistons extend too far from the brake caliper, potentially causing further damage. Za Rulem brake pads provide a strong value proposition for everyday use.
The Behind the Wheel brake pads are recommended for replacement due to their optimal geometry, quiet operation, and fair pricing.
