Checking the oil level in the automatic transmission

We carry out work in accordance with the maintenance plan (see «Maintenance plan») - every 15,000 km of run. It is necessary to check the oil level if during the inspection of the car transmission oil leaks were found. To check the level of transmission oil, a control hole was made on the side wall of the gearbox housing, closed with a screw plug.

To perform the work, you will need an inspection ditch or overpass, a wide container with a volume of at least 4 liters and a funnel with a hose or a special oil syringe.

The test is carried out with the engine off.

Execution sequence

1. We prepare the car for work (see «Preparing the car for maintenance and repair»).

2. We install the car on a viewing ditch or overpass

3. Remove the engine mudguard (see «Mudguard of the engine - removal and installation»).

4. Using a 17 mm socket or spanner wrench, unscrew the plug of the control hole.



5. With a paper strip rolled up, we check the oil level in the gearbox (it should be at the level of the lower edge of the control hole).

6. If the level is lower, add gear oil to the gearbox (see below).

7. At the end of the check, we wrap the plug in the control hole.
