Instructions:
1. Preparation
* Prepare the vehicle by placing it on a lift or on a level surface.
* Start the engine and warm it up to operating temperature.
* Shift the gear selector to “P” (park).
2. Drain the old oil
* Locate the drain plug on the automatic transmission pan. It is usually located at the bottom of the tray.
* Place a container under the plug to catch the oil.
* Using a hex wrench, carefully unscrew the drain plug.
*Wait until the oil has completely drained. It may take about 30 minutes.
* Wipe the drain plug and pan with a clean cloth.
3. Filter replacement (if necessary)
* Find the automatic transmission filter, it is usually located in the automatic transmission pan.
*Using a flathead screwdriver, carefully pry the filter out of the tray.
* Reinstall the new filter. Make sure it is aligned correctly.
4. Cleaning the tray
* Wipe the automatic transmission pan with a clean cloth to remove any remaining oil and dirt.
* Install a new pan gasket.
5. Installation of the pallet
* Reinstall the automatic transmission pan and tighten all the bolts.
6. Filling with new oil
* Using a funnel, pour new oil into the automatic transmission. Add about 4 liters.
* Start the engine and let it idle for a few minutes.
7. Checking the oil level (if there is no device for pumping oil)
* Check the oil level using the automatic transmission dipstick.
*Add more oil as needed to reach the “HOT” mark.
8. Oil pumping (if equipped)
* Connect the oil pumping device to the automatic transmission cooling fittings.
* Start the engine and follow the device manufacturer’s instructions.
* Pump the oil until clean oil flows.
9. Topping up and checking the oil level
*Add oil if necessary until the “HOT” mark on the dipstick is reached.
* Check the oil level after a few days to ensure it is within the acceptable range.
Note:
* It is recommended to change the automatic transmission oil and filter on a regular basis, in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations.
* For cars with high mileage, a partial oil change with transmission flushing may be required.
*If you are unsure of your abilities, have a qualified mechanic perform this procedure.
