Checking and topping up the oil in a manual transmission and the hydraulic fluid in the automatic transmission
Periodically (but not less than once every 15 000 km) Check the oil level in manual gearbox and the hydraulic fluid in the automatic. Methods of checking the level of manual and automatic are different, so are shown separately for each box. NOTES To use the manual transmission gear oils with the parameters of not less than API GL-4, SAE 75W-90. For automatic transmission, the manufacturer recommends that a working fluid SK ATF SP-III. |
To check the oil level in manual gearbox and top up you need a syringe. Oil level indicator (dipstick) in a mechanical transmission is installed in the filler hole at the top of the transmission case near the distributor of the steering mechanism. | | 1. Remove the pointer (probe) oil level of the oil filler transmission, wipe it with a clean cloth and reinsert it (picture the air filter and air supply tube removed for clarity). | 2. Re-remove the pointer. The level of the oil film should be between the upper and lower marks (pictured label indicated by arrows). If the oil level is close to the bottom or below the mark, add oil. |
| 4. Using a syringe, fill the oil in the gearbox, controlling the oil level with the pointer. |
To check the fluid level in automatic transmission and topping it you need a syringe. NOTE On the level indicator of the working fluid in an automatic transmission applied to the scale to check the level on the warm and cold box. |
1. Warm fluid in the gearbox to the operating temperature (70-80 ?� C), a short trip. |
2. Place the vehicle on a level surface and brake the parking brake. |
3. Press the brake pedal and hold it down, in turn, set the selector lever to all positions of the ?�P?� (park) to the ?�D?� (forward travel) with short stops at each position to fill fluid torque converter and hydraulic system. Then set the selector lever in position ?�N?� (neutral). Release the brake pedal. |
4. The level of the hydraulic fluid in the gearbox check the indicator (probe), installed in the filler hole in the top of the gearbox housing. Before removing the pointer to remove the dirt around it. When idling the engine, remove the index and check the condition of the working fluid. The quality and composition of the working fluid can determine if the transmission. The box must be repaired if at least one of the following signs of decline in the quality of the liquid: - Smell of burning oil; - Significant darkening of the liquid; - Notably the large amount of metal particles in a liquid. |
5. Wipe the pointer cloth and insert into the opening until it stops. |

6. Remove the index and in the footsteps of the working fluid on it determine the level of the liquid. It should be between labels ?�COLD?� and ?�HOT?� (Fig. 4.2). |
7. If the level is not correct, add the liquid through the oil-filling opening of the syringe as well as it did for the manual gearbox (see. Above). |
A WARNING When checking the level and refill the hydraulic fluid, do not allow her contact with hot parts of the exhaust manifold: the liquid can ignite! |
NOTES Insufficient fluid level can cause a number of disorders of the automatic transmission, as in her pump with the liquid will flow the air. If air enters into the liquid air bubbles occur, which leads to fluctuations in the oil pressure. The instability of the pressure leads to delay gear, slipping clutches and brakes of the box. Exceed the normal level of the liquid is not allowed. The fluid poured into the transmission case above the norm, foams gears, which leads to malfunction of the same box, and that when there is insufficient liquid level, and a rapid deterioration of the fluid properties. In both cases, the formation of air bubbles causes overheating and premature oxidation of fluid, thereby interferes with the normal operation of valves, clutches and actuators box. |
