Oil change procedure:

1. Prepare the car. Place the vehicle on a level surface, set the parking brake, and wait until the engine and transmission cool down.
2. Raise the car. Raise the car on a lift or place it on stands.
3. Locate the transmission oil pan. It is usually located at the bottom of the gearbox.
4. Remove the oil pan. Unscrew the oil pan bolts and carefully remove it, draining the old oil into a prepared container.
5. Clean the oil pan. Clean the oil pan of old oil and dirt using a brush.
6. Replace the oil pan gasket. Remove the old gasket and install a new one on the oil pan.
7. Replace the automatic transmission oil filter. Find the oil filter and unscrew the drain plug. Drain the remaining oil into a separate container. Replace the old oil filter with a new one and tighten the drain plug.
8. Install the oil pan. Apply a thin layer of sealant to the flat of the oil pan and install it in place. Tighten the oil pan bolts to the specified torque.
9. Fill with new oil. Fill in new Dexron VI transmission oil through the oil filler neck in accordance with the operating instructions.
10. Check the oil level. Start the engine and warm it up to operating temperature. Shift the gear lever to all positions and return it to the park position. Use the dipstick to check the oil level and, if necessary, add oil to the required level.
11. Reset transmission adaptations. Using a diagnostic scan tool, reset the transmission adaptations so that it can “learn” the new oil.
12. Lower the vehicle. Lower the vehicle from the lift or stands.

Important:

* Use only the transmission oil recommended in the vehicle manual.
*Before tightening the oil pan bolts, apply thread sealant to ensure a good seal.
* Check the oil level and condition of the gearbox at regular intervals.
