GAZ-3309 is a popular flatbed truck, which has been produced by the group of the Gorky Automobile Plant since 1994. Over the years of production, the machine has undergone some improvements, which also related to obtaining modern economical power units which corresponded to Euro-4 environmental standards.
Of course, the truck does not have excellent cross-country qualities and is designed for use in urban areas, or for freight transport on paved roadways in rural areas. The whole.
Car history
As we have already said, "Gazon" 3309 has been released since 1994, which means that it belongs to the fourth family of medium-duty trucks of the Gorky Automobile Plant.
The debut cars of this index had a 4-cylinder power unit that ran on diesel fuel. On top of that, the engine was turbocharged and produced 116 horsepower. The volume of the engine was 4.15 liters.
After some time, 3309 began to be produced with another diesel engine, which was also equipped with a turbocharging system, but already had six cylinders and produced as many as 150 horses.
But? three years later (in 1997), the production of such trucks was stopped. This was tied to the fact that the GAZ-3309 was considered not profitable for economic reasons.
Following the rebuilding of the Gorky enterprise, the management decided to improve the cab. As a result, the “Lawn” cab was significantly changed and the development of a diesel power unit for the car began.
Thanks to the diesel engine, it turned out to get more power while lowering fuel consumption. But in order to make a diesel power unit, the technological staff worked hard.
During the development, the company purchased a considerable number of brand new machines and stands. They served as a springboard for engine tests comparing them to petrol variants. When there was a technological breakthrough, a diesel unit was developed, which received a turbocharging system.
Thanks to such a strong engine, the car could carry a heavy truck quite vigorously. Following the introduction of changes in the appearance of the cab, the designers decided to pay attention to the internal components of the 3309. Even at the start of the 1980s, numerous assembly units were altered that were installed in the car.
And with the help of many modifications, which affected the suspension, body, engine and transmission, the car became cheaper, but was able to increase its efficiency.
In addition, repairs, along with machine maintenance, have also become much easier with fewer parts. On top of that, due to their reduction, the number of possible breakdowns of various components has been reduced.
After 2001, the Gorky Automobile Plant began purchasing power units from the Minsk enterprise that produces engines. From that moment on, a new revival of the model was started, on which they began to mount the engines on diesel fuel MMZ D-245.7.
After another 5 years (2006), diesel power units that meet the European environmental standards Euro-2 began to be installed on "Gazon". Two years later, the motors were already able to fit the Euro-3 frames.
The plant also provides for the installation, if desired, of a pre-heater, which is very necessary on the territory of the Russian Federation. If we talk about the operation of the car, then the GAZ-3309 is considered to be one of the most economical cargo models.
In addition, the performance metrics along with the truck's endurance can delight the buyer. The medium-duty truck received excellent technical parameters, as well as the presence of a powerful and reliable unit that is perfect for our roads.
The hardest times for the GAZ-3309 are the months of 1998. Just then, the demand for domestic trucks fell to a record low. This happened due to the collapse of the collective farms, for which this machine was designed.
1999 was a turning point for the truck. Its technical component was much improved with the introduction of the Minsk power unit MMZ D-245.7. The latter engine had low fuel consumption and good performance.
A similar engine was installed on ZIL "" vehicles and a GAZ-3309 dump truck. The power unit of the Minsk Motor Plant was the most famous in the Russian Federation. They could fall in love with him in a short time, thanks to his good maintainability, power and amazing low consumption fuel.
Spare parts also turned out to be inexpensive. It was possible to repair the vehicle even in the "field" conditions. The last improvement was made in the 2000s, when the Gorky engineers managed to adapt the Minsk engine to Euro-2 environmental standards. But by the end of the 2000s, vehicle production plummeted. Why?
There are several reasons. One of them is the presence of an outdated design. The model has been produced for 20 years, and the shape of the cabin, along with the body, has not changed at all. It is also important that a truck, in terms of its type, is generally not suitable for the current transportation market.
In a similar vein, the Gorky Automobile Plant turned out to be a successful model "". On top of that, the car has a rather low level of comfort for the driver and passenger. It is clear that in the 1980s few people thought about this, but today it is no longer the 80s, and the level of comfort plays one of the most important roles when choosing a truck.
Today, there are many modifications of this car, among which there is a GAZ 3309 gasoline tanker, a GAZ 3309 van, which is used to transport various materials.
Appearance
If we talk about the exterior of the GAZ-3309, then the diesel variation from the gasoline one is almost impossible to distinguish. They differ, perhaps, by the presence of an air intake pipe, which runs along the hood and the window pillar of the cab.
With the help of such an element, a diesel car could drive through the deepest water barriers, because the air to the power unit came just from a similar pipe, which was located at a height of 2 meters. In addition, do not forget about the large wheels and rather big ground clearance.
From the photo, you can see that by today's standards, the truck has a fairly ascetic appearance. But, according to many drivers, the most important thing for a truck is its performance in terms of technology, because when a truck makes a good profit, then its appearance goes into the 2nd plan.
Gasoline truck modification The successor to the 53rd model received an almost unchanged cab design. The truck has all the same round headlights, a recognizable steel bumper, an oblong hood and a classic metal step, which makes it easier for the driver to get into the cabin. Based on the feedback, there were many flaws in the design of the truck cab.
For example, they often sinned on the wings, which almost always rusted. As a result, they required a putty treatment or the application of new steel sheets over the corroded metal.
However, the bumper itself, as before, is quite massive and durable. With the help of the considerable thickness of the metal, it can withstand forces of up to several tons.
The chauffeur can, without worry, fasten the cable to one of the two holes in the bumper and get the car out of almost any swamp in tow. Although, we must admit that the diesel variation of the "Lawn" almost did not allow it to get stuck even in the deepest and most relief terrain, so often towing was simply not required.
Like all the rest of the current trucks, which are produced by the Gorky Automobile Plant, "bortovik" acquired the presence of an all-metal cabin, where there is a simple exterior design.
Moreover, it has straight contours with sharp edges, which are diluted with round optics, a shockproof bumper along with a massive grille. The cockpit received a pair of doors with a fairly wide opening. There is also the presence of large glazing, which provides an easy approach to the engine compartment in three directions.
Cabin interior
When comparing the interior of the 53rd model and the 3309, the latter significantly gained in convenience and design. The most important difference is that plastic parts were used. In addition, the interior of the 53rd model had preferably metal elements, which include the dashboard itself.
Everything related to the speedometer, tachometer and other informational details, they were left in the same style. The glove compartment was made with a plastic lid. The thin steering wheel on the GAZ-3309 is represented by a two-spoke one, and, as before, has received a very massive diameter.
It will not be superfluous to note that models with a diesel power unit were equipped with a hydraulic power steering wheel. At that time, the hydraulic booster was considered a luxury option and it was installed only on the 66th "Lawn" and large-tonnage KamAZ trucks. Of the "conveniences", the design staff equipped the cabin only with hooks for clothes, sun visors and a heater.
Due to the fact that the designers removed the second passenger seat, inside the GAZ-3309 there was much more free space, which was sorely lacking in its predecessor.
The interior floor is flat, as was the case with its predecessor, the GAZ-53. Other changes include the presence of a new layout of the seats, which replaced one solid wide "sofa". Already in the cabin there is a separate driver's and one passenger's seat.
It will not be superfluous to add that the driver's seat is now sprung and has received a complete set of separate mechanically adjustable backrest. Both seats have high backrests, soft fabric upholstery and imitation lateral support, and are also supported by three-point seat belts.
The roominess of the interior was reduced, because in the previous model two passengers could sit next to the driver. However, there were also advantages here: due to the lack of one seat, you can see more free space inside.
Other changes include new fabric upholstery on door cards, which have a large storage compartment. Judging by the photos that can be seen in this article, the interior of the truck was made in the style of the 1980s.
Many designs of parts are more angular, which makes the interior of the car seem morally old by today's standards. The last and most important improvement of the cab allowed the designers to install thermal and noise insulation, which was not even foreseen in the 53rd model.
Now it was much less audible in the cabin extraneous sounds and noise from the operation of the power unit. In cool weather, the cabin did not freeze at such a speed. But still, the stove's power was not enough to heat the interior on cold days. Owner reviews only confirm this.
Specifications
Power unit
The Gazon 3309 came with several powerplant variations. The most common was the MMZ D-245.7E4. It featured a diesel-powered, four-cylinder, four-stroke in-line engine that was liquid cooled, direct injection, charge air cooler and turbocharged.
Such a power unit could meet European environmental standards Euro-4. Its volume was 4.75 liters, which allowed it to produce 125.4 horsepower. This engine weighed about 430 kilograms. For 100 kilometers, the engine consumes about 14.5 liters at high-speed mode 60 km / h.
A little later on cars cargo type began to install YaMZ-5344, which was produced at a motor enterprise in the city of Yaroslavl. In design, it was almost similar to the 4.75-liter engine mentioned above, but it was different in its own technical parameters.
YaMZ-5344 was a 4.43-liter 134.5-horsepower engine, the compression ratio of which was a respectable 17.5. A pre-heater could be installed as a separate option. The Yaroslavl power unit consumes about 15.5 liters per 100 kilometers at a speed of 60 km / h.
YaMZ-5344 engine Also "Lawn" was equipped diesel engine Austrian production, which had an in-line arrangement of cylinders and had an air cooling system. It was a 3.2-liter engine that produced about 150 horses.
The main disadvantage of such a power unit was poor maintainability. After the worked out 200,000 km, the motors were not subject to overhaul.
Transmission
All two motors were synchronized together with a single 5-speed mechanical synchronized gearbox, which had constant gearing and a single disc friction dry clutch that has hydraulic control.
The leading rear axle was equipped with a bevel gear differential. Interestingly, the diagram of the operation of the manual transmission was drawn not on the switch lever, but on the front panel (in the center, in the form of a small sticker).
Suspension
All modifications, along with the complete sets, received a rear-wheel drive layout, and the car itself was built on a solid frame base, where there were dependent spring suspensions in front and behind.
The latter are based on longitudinal semi-elliptical springs, which are supplemented in front by the presence of hydraulic telescopic shock absorbers of two-way functioning.
Brake system
The truck received a dual-circuit braking system, where there was a hydraulic drive, a hydraulic vacuum booster, drum mechanisms and a vacuum receiver in each circuit.
Today, even the basic version of the GAZ-3309 has an anti-lock braking system ABS.
Steering
It is presented as a "screw-ball nut" and is complemented by hydraulic power steering, which greatly facilitates machine control. A complete catalog of technical characteristics of GAZ 3309 diesel can be found on the official website.

Cost and equipment
The pricing policy of the company is determined, in the most important way, by what kind of modification the car has. But despite all this, the average price tag for this car is quite democratic.
Cars produced in 1996-1998 can be purchased from 70,000 to 100,000 rubles. The newer the vehicle is, the more expensive it will be. Trucks from 2008-2010 can be purchased from 350,000 to 450,000 rubles. You can also rent a GAZ-3309, it will cost about 650-750 rubles. for every hour.
Thanks to its successful platform and small size, GAZ-3309 is successfully used in various industries. The car has a good power reserve and low fuel consumption.
The basic equipment of the medium-duty truck boasts 20-inch steel rims, halogen optics, rear fog lamp, 4 6ST-55A batteries and an interior heater.
The factory price tag for a car starts at 870,000 rubles. The model catalog can be opened on the official website.

GAZ 3309 is a popular flatbed truck produced by GAZ Group. Since the start of production, the car has been updated several times. The latest generation has received modern power plants corresponding to the ecological class "Euro-4", which has expanded the scope of its application. The model does not stand out for its high cross-country ability and is more suitable for operation in urban areas and for transporting goods on roads with a hard surface.
On the basis of GAZ 3309, various special modifications have been developed: manipulators, fuel tankers, tank trucks, vans, garbage trucks, dump trucks and others. Due to this, the popularity of the model remains at a stable level, despite the presence of serious competitors.
General information
The development of a new generation of medium-duty trucks began at the GAZ plant in the late 1960s. Initially, the creators planned to modernize the existing versions of the cars. The first prototypes were presented in 1972 and received the designation GAZ 53-11. They were distinguished by a new cockpit and plumage. After the tests, it became clear that the plant needed a fundamentally different model. At that moment, the main competitor of GAZ was developing a new generation of medium-duty trucks ZIL-169G. In 1976, the country's leadership decided to start global dieselization, and at the Gorky plant they decided to equip the novelty with a diesel engine with air cooled, the license for the production of which was planned to be purchased in Germany.
In 1981, the premiere of the second prototype of the car took place, and in 1986 - the GAZ 3307 model, which became the basis for the creation of the GAZ 3309. The models were completely unified, and external differences were only in the location of the engine air intake pipe. The production of GAZ 3309 started in 1994, and after 2 years the car completely replaced the carburetor GAZ 3307.
The first variants were equipped with 4-cylinder units with a capacity of 116 hp. Later, 6-cylinder diesels appeared. The truck immediately became very popular among consumers, since it had high technical indicators at a low cost.
However, in the history of GAZ 3309 there were also black stripes. In 1997, the production of diesel units at the Gorky Automobile Plant was recognized as economically inexpedient, as a result of which the car lost its engine, and its production was discontinued. The enterprise returned to the production of carburetor GAZ 3307. The GAZ 3309 was revived only in 2001. The model was equipped with diesel engines MMZ D-245.7 of the Minsk Motor Plant.
Since 2006, the car began to be equipped with units corresponding to the Euro-2 class. In 2008, the car got a new power plant that meets the Euro-3 requirements. It also became possible to install a pre-heater. In 2013, the GAZ 3309 family received a D-245.7 E-4 (MMZ) turbodiesel of higher power as the base engine. Versions with a Cummins ISF 3.8L diesel engine certified in 2013 under Euro-4 were also offered. In the winter of 2013, a version of GAZ 33098 was presented with an advanced diesel engine "YaMZ 5342.10", corresponding to "Euro-4". The model is still being released.
The GAZ 3309 family includes many modifications:
- GAZ 33090 - base chassis with MMZ D-245.7E2 turbodiesel;
- GAZ 33091 - an extended version with a turbodiesel MMZ D-245.7E2;
- GAZ 33092 is a version with a double cab that can accommodate up to 7 people. The model is equipped with a MMZ D-245.7E2 turbodiesel and is usually used to install special superstructures;
- GAZ 33094 - an elongated version used as a base for the KavZ 397650 bus;
- GAZ 33096 - onboard chassis with a Cummins ISF 3.8L engine;
- GAZ 33098 - onboard chassis with a YaMZ-5344 turbodiesel.
GAZ 3309 is considered one of the most successful products of the Gorky Automobile Plant. The scope of the standard version is the transportation of goods of various categories on paved roads. The model has an almost optimal combination of price and quality, which determines the stable demand for it. In operation, the car is one of the most economical, and the characteristics of endurance and performance will delight any owner. Also GAZ 3309 is adapted for use in Russian conditions. On the basis of the chassis, various variations of equipment are produced (garbage trucks, vans, tank trucks, dump trucks, manipulators and others), which adds to the family's popularity.

Device
The car received a frame structure with additional reinforcement. The truck was equipped with wheels with 8.25 R20 tires, protected from shocks under heavy load on the frame with 4 longitudinal springs resembling a semi-ellipse. In the front of the car there were hydraulic telescopic double-acting shock absorbers, in the rear there were additional longitudinal springs. All versions received exclusively rear axle drive and dependent front and rear suspension.
The truck was equipped with a hydraulic 2-circuit braking system with a vacuum reservoir for each circuit. It also includes a hydraulic drive, drum brakes and a hydraulic vacuum booster. Already in the basic version, the model was equipped with an anti-lock ABS system which improves braking performance. In the event of a failure of one circuit, the other served as a spare.
The GAZ 3309 transmission line consisted of only one model. For 20 years of its existence, it has not undergone noticeable changes. The car received a 5-speed manual transmission. Moreover, there was no gearshift scheme on the gear lever; it was depicted in the center of the front panel (a small sticker). For this model, a single-disk, permanently closed dry friction clutch with a diaphragm spring was used.
GAZ 3309 was equipped with a separate hydraulic booster, providing maximum driving comfort. When creating a steering mechanism, a "screw - ball nut" scheme was used, consisting of the following elements: a steering column, a transverse and longitudinal steering rod, a screw with a ball nut and propeller shafts.
The electrical equipment of the truck consisted of a single-wire system with a minus on the car body. It included a battery, an ignition switch, a power-generating device, a wiper, a starter, and headlights.
GAZ 3309 has retained the classic cab typical of the cars of the Gorky Automobile Plant. The design changes were minor. The truck received an oblong hood, a branded steel bumper and round headlights. The disadvantages of its predecessors were inherent in this technique. The main problem considered bad paintwork(especially in the area of the wings). This led to rapid corrosion of the elements and their subsequent replacement or revision. Salon GAZ 3309 turned out to be completely standard with many plastic elements. The speedometer, glove compartment and tachometer remain from the previous model. A feature of the model was the fabric upholstery of the doors. The performance of noise and vibration insulation has also improved, which has created more comfortable conditions for movement. The massive bumper withstood a lot of force and stood out for increased strength. The cab received comfortable seats with soft upholstery, high back, imitation of lateral support and 3-point seat belts. It freely accommodated 2 people. The driver's seat also had horizontal and vertical adjustment. Round instruments and large controls have appeared on the front panel. In general, the salon was made in an extremely simple style.
The GAZ 3309 car had many weak points:
- the biggest challenge is the frame. The car is designed for operation within the city boundaries, therefore, increased loads on it have a detrimental effect;
- the rear axle is also highly susceptible to wear;
- the absence of shock absorbers creates serious discomfort when driving;
- outdated construction;
- large dimensions;
- significant fuel consumption.

There are quite a few GAZ 3309 models on the used car market. The price tags here depend on the condition and year of manufacture. Models of 2004-2005 will cost 180,000-280,000 rubles, 2009-2010 - 490,000-600,000 rubles, 2014-2015 - 1.050-1.2 million rubles.
Analogs
The analogues of GAZ 3309 include ZIL 4331 and GAZ 3307.
Domestic trucks of the Gorky Automobile Plant have been popular since Soviet period... As you know, engine oils, and GAZ are no exception, must have high adhesion properties and reliably protect the main mechanisms of the system from corrosion corrosion, effectively remove heat from the rubbing surfaces of parts and prevent wear.
General characteristics of oil for GAS
According to the operational conditions for the functioning of the internal combustion engine: pressure, temperature indicators, the strength of the frictional interaction of parts, as well as the material of their manufacture, various types of motor oils are used on GAZ cars.
They have one thing in common: high-quality greases should not change their original characteristics during operation or under the influence of temperature fluctuations.
At the same time, they must comply with the vehicle manufacturer's requirements and general approval. The composition should not contain harmful waste and impurities, alkalis and acids. A lubricant component with a certain level of viscosity, temperature setting and stability is used for each engine separately.
With regard to viscosity, this indicator demonstrates the resistance of particles to mutual movement. If the oil has a high degree of viscosity, then it is difficult enough to penetrate into the engine and poorly sprayed.
Accordingly, if this parameter is not observed, the car oil negatively affects the reduction of friction of parts, which leads to rapid engine wear. Viscosity is usually denoted by numbers in front of the letter indicating the brand. Thus, the higher the index, the greater the degree of viscosity.
As for stability, this means its ability not to change its original properties for a long time. This is an extremely important factor for the operation of GAZ vehicles. Solidification of a lubricant denotes its temperature at which it loses its mobility properties.
Lubricating products for GAZ power units are designated by numbers and letter symbols. The number is the degree of viscosity, the letter M and subsequent numbers indicate the performance.
Oil for GAZ 53
In the internal combustion engine 53 models, off-season greases AC8 or M8B are usually used. The first marking is an older version of the oils designation. The letter A indicated engines with carburetors, C was the cleaning method, and the last figure indicated the degree of viscosity of the fluid.
For the most efficient operation of the oil, it is recommended to use special additives in the GAZ engine. They increase the viscosity of the base lubricant and also prevent strong fluidity and improve system performance. For GAZ, complex additives are usually used that change some of the properties of a car oil.
Lubricant for the GAZ 3110 engine
For the 3110 internal combustion engine with 8 cylinders, it is necessary to use a natural oil with a viscosity level of 15w30, 10w30. Also recommended for use are semi-synthetics with a viscosity of 10w40 from the companies Gazpromneft, Lukoil.
If the vehicle is actively operated in severe frosts, then it is necessary to fill in synthetic products with a viscosity level of 5w40. However, for such engines, it is best to use lubricants based on mineral and semi-synthetic bases.
As for the volume of motor oil, for the GAZ 3110 engine system it is necessary to use about 8 liters, and in old 3.5 engines - no more than 7 liters. The lubrication change frequency is carried out upon reaching 5000-7000 km, according to the operating conditions.
Engine oil GAZ 3307
For power units with 8 cylinders on a gasoline basis, it is recommended to use engine fluids with a viscosity level of 10w40 and 5w40 on a semi-synthetic basis. You can also fill in mineral water with a viscosity of 20w50, 15w40. Factory oils have been specially developed for model 3107:
- Master 10w40;
- Professional 5w40;
- Mineral oil Original and Standard.
Any factory lubricants can be changed to alternative foreign options. For filling, 10 liters are required. Replacements are carried out upon reaching 7,000-10,000 km of run in accordance with the operating conditions.
For engines on a diesel basis with volumes of 4.75 and 4.43 liters, it is necessary to use about 12 liters of grease. It is recommended to use liquids on a mineral or semi-synthetic base as a filling. The viscosity is 15w40, 5w40, 10w40. Replacement frequency - upon reaching 7,000-10,000 km of run.
If there is a desire or need to replace the factory oil with identical analogs, then you can use any mineral formulations. Experienced motorists recommend using motor lubricants from manufacturers:
- Lukoil;
- Gazpromneft;
- Castrol;
- Shell.
The main thing is not to forget that the product must correspond to the level of viscosity, depending on the operation of the car for certain weather conditions.
Engine lubricant for GAZ 21
For the Volga power units of the first generation of 1968, off-season mineral-based fluids with a viscosity level of 15w20 and SG quality are relevant. When it comes to newer trim levels vehicle, then for the cold season it is recommended to fill in mineral water 5w20 SG.
Any selected car oil must be checked against the factory requirements and specifications for the GAZ 21, as well as the maintenance intervals. Basically, the owners of 21 models use semi-synthetic oils with a viscosity of 10w40. They work great at any time of the year.
For replacement, about 6 liters are used. In summer, it is recommended to use mineral greases with a change interval of 7-10,000 km. As for the brand, it is worth giving preference to the above options.
Oils for GAZ in winter
Thanks to the labeling, each GAZ owner can choose the most optimal oil for your car model. In winter, the lubricant must be selected according to temperature indicators and viscosity characteristics. Ideally, these are formulations with viscosities from 0w30 to 10w40.
0w30 is less viscous, but even in severe frosts -30 / -40 it does not lose its original flow properties and interacts perfectly with internal combustion engines.
As for oils with an indicator of 5w30, they are also used in winter, when there are light frosts. Oils with index 10w30 are recommended for use in regions with milder weather conditions.
The 10w40 mark demonstrates versatility. That is, the lubricating fluid can be used in areas where temperatures are observed down to -5 ° C.
Do not forget the fact that a lower indicator demonstrates the level of viscosity during the heating period of the engine and its further reaching operating temperatures. If the oil has too much fluidity, then it will not be able to guarantee full protection of the GAZ engine in comparison with thicker lubricants.
In other words, we can say that with high fluidity, a thinner, not so reliable film is formed to protect the main mechanisms of the GAZ system. Accordingly, in order to be sure of the instant start of a cold unit, it is best to use lubricants with a viscosity level of 5w30, 5w40, 15w30.
Taking into account the peculiarities of operating a GAZ car, it is necessary to follow the manufacturer's recommendations and fill in better quality products in accordance with the climatic zone.
For example, if the technical instructions indicate that for a specific car model it is necessary to use 10w40 or 5w30 oils, then it is necessary to select fluids taking into account the possible lowering of the temperature conditions of a particular region.
