Loyal to the classics
Zhiguli vehicles have left production for many years, with the last of the notable models rolling off the line over a decade ago. Yet many owners still rely on these machines daily, keeping them on the road and in surprisingly good running condition. Enthusiasts continue to restore, preserve, and enjoy the iconic penny,-Troika,-Six and other members of the classic family. Regardless of whether these Zhiguli cars are cherished rarities or workhorses, every owner needs high-quality consumables to keep them performing at their best.
VAZ cars from the rear-wheel drive family are not new to age and require dependable, high-quality consumables.

Their usage may be light, but engine oil still needs annual replacement. For longer trips, consider changing the oil at least every 7000 kilometers. When doing so, a new oil filter is essential.
In the past, Zhiguli engines used relatively large oil filters compared to the front-wheel drive family. A period of unification followed, leaving mostly universal, smaller filters on the market. Yet it is better to opt for a larger oil filter with a bigger dirt-collecting surface since older engines benefit from greater filtration capacity. Handelshuis Za Rulem offers precisely such larger filters for these cars.
The oil filter branded Behind the Wheel features an original design with a broader filter curtain area, making it well suited for older engines.
Reliable helpers
Long ago, classic VAZ engines began to adopt fuel injection. They require a square air filter, known for its high dust-holding capacity, strong filter material, and low resistance to airflow.
Air filters Behind the Wheel deliver excellent quality and are manufactured with modern techniques. They fit both Zhiguli and front-wheel drive models.
For engines with fuel injection, clean gasoline is crucial. In outback conditions, substandard fuel can sometimes be found at gas stations, so installing a high-quality gas filter and replacing it regularly is important.
To protect wallets, Behind the Wheel offers high-quality, affordable filters. The range covers both carburetor and injection cars.
Fuel filters Behind the Wheel perform well under Russian operating conditions, with consumables available for both injection and carburetor engines.
Take care of your brakes
Brake pads are a common consumable item. When wear becomes significant, delaying replacement is not wise. Worn pads can stress the brake disc and risk damaging cylinders, shortening seal life.
For replacement, Behind the Wheel pads are recommended for their optimal geometry, non-squeaky operation, and sensible pricing.
Brake pads Behind the Wheel stop quietly, prevent premature wear of discs, and help keep the braking system reliable.
