The maximum power of the new “gas” engine is approximately 150 hp. Of. with a torque of 330 Nm. Incidentally, the torque even reaches high values at the bottom: at 1000 rpm that is, for example, 305 Nm. According to preliminary estimates, the design life of such a turbodiesel before overhaul should be at least 300,000 km. However, this is clearly not the limit.
In particular, a number of experts who tested the G21 series diesel engines believe that, with proper operation, they can easily roll up to 500,000 kilometers. Much depends on the frequency of maintenance and the quality of the consumables used, including diesel fuel and, of course, engine oil.
And in this sense, I am glad that domestic high-quality lubricants have already appeared on our market, including those with specifications aimed at VAZ and GAZ units. For example, a new “semi-synthetic fabric” of the 10W-40 A3 / B4 series from the German brand ReinWell has recently gone on sale, the production of which is entirely localized in the Russian Federation.
