Checking the transmission oil level

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 and a special syringe.

Execution sequence

1. We install the car on a viewing ditch or overpass and prepare it for work (see «Preparing the car for maintenance and repair»).

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

3. We unscrew the plug of the control hole of the gearbox.



4. With a paper strip, a rolled up tube or a rod, we check the oil level: it should be at the level of the lower edge of the control hole.



5. If the oil level is below the required level, add oil with a syringe (see above table. 10.2.1.).

Warning! Only oil recommended by the manufacturer should be added to the gearbox (see above table. 10.2.2). Do not remove the gearbox breather to add oil!

6. Visually check the condition of the sealing ring of the control hole plug. If necessary, replace the ring. We wrap the stopper of the control hole in place.
