Note: this procedure is carried out only if there is no special installation for quick replacement of automatic transmission fluid (ATF).
1. Install the car on a flat horizontal platform. Apply the parking brake.
2. Draining the working fluid (ATF) from the automatic transmission hydraulic system.
- A) Disconnect the hose connecting the gearbox to the fluid cooler.
Note: The fluid cooler is located inside the cooling system radiator.
- b) Start the engine. Leave the engine to idle (automatic transmission selector in position "N") and give the working fluid (ATF) drain through the hose.
Attention: after starting, let the engine run for no more than 1 minute. If all the automatic transmission fluid has flowed out before this point, stop the engine immediately.
- V) Unscrew the drain plug on the bottom of the automatic transmission case and drain the working fluid (ATF) from the automatic transmission fluid sump.
- G) Install the drain plug with a new gasket in place and tighten the plug to the specified torque.
- Tightening torque: 30-35 Nm
- d) Fill with new automatic transmission fluid (ATF) through the automatic transmission filler pipe (tube dipstick fluid level).
Attention: if the nominal volume of the automatic transmission fluid (ATF) is not included in the gearbox, you should stop filling.
- Recommended working fluid: SKATF SP-III, or DIAMOND ATF SP-III
- Filling capacity: 7.8 l
- e) Repeat the procedure for draining the automatic transmission fluid given in subparagraph "b".
Note:
- Check for signs of contamination in the drained working fluid (ATF). If the working fluid (A TF) contaminated, then repeat the operations in subparagraphs "d" And "e".
- If the automatic transmission is filled with working fluid (ATF) more than the nominal volume, then repeat the operations in subparagraph "b".
3. Replace the automatic transmission fluid filter (see related section).
4. Fill in new automatic transmission fluid through the guide tube of the automatic transmission fluid level dipstick.
Note: fill in the working fluid slowly, in small portions with short breaks.
4. Connect the automatic transmission fluid cooler hose, disconnected in paragraph "2" and securely reinstall the dipstick.
Note: before installing the automatic transmission fluid level dipstick, clean the area around it from dirt.
5. Start the engine and let it idle for 1-2 minutes.
6. Move the automatic transmission selector lever sequentially through all positions, and then set it to position "N". Check that the fluid level in the automatic transmission (ATF) is in the range "COLD" (if the automatic transmission is not warmed up) automatic transmission fluid level dipstick. If the level is lower than specified, then add the required amount of automatic transmission fluid (ATF).
7. Drive the car so that the temperature of the working fluid (ATF) reached normal operating temperature (70-80°С), then again check the level of the working fluid in the automatic transmission (ATF). which must be in the range "NOT".
8. Make sure that the dipstick of the working fluid level is firmly installed in the filler (guide) automatic transmission pipe.
