Step by step instructions:

1. Preparation:

* Place the vehicle on a level surface and set the parking brake.
* Allow the engine to cool.

2. Draining old oil:

* Find the automatic transmission pan drain plug and place a container under it to drain the used oil.
* Unscrew the drain plug with a 17 mm wrench.
* Allow the oil to drain into the container.

3. Replacing the oil filter:

* Unscrew the bolts securing the automatic transmission pan to the gearbox housing.
* Carefully remove the pan, being careful with the remaining oil.
* Remove the automatic transmission oil filter from the pan.
* Install a new oil filter.

4. Replacing the pan seal:

* Remove the old automatic transmission pan seal.
* Clean the surfaces of the pan and gearbox housing from the remains of the old seal.
* Install a new automatic transmission pan seal.

5. Installing the automatic transmission pan:

* Apply a little transmission oil to the new automatic transmission pan seal.
* Reinstall the automatic transmission pan.
* Tighten the bolts securing the pan evenly and consistently.

6. Filling with new oil:

* Fill in new transmission oil through the hole for the automatic transmission dipstick using a funnel.
*Use approximately 4 liters of oil.

7. Checking the oil level:

* Start the engine and let it idle for a few minutes.
* Place the automatic transmission selector lever in each position and return it back to the park position.
* Stop the engine and wait a few minutes until the oil drains into the automatic transmission pan.
* Remove the automatic transmission dipstick, wipe it dry and reinsert it until it stops.
* Pull out the dipstick and check the oil level. It should be between the MIN and MAX marks.
* If necessary, add oil until the level reaches the MAX mark.

Adviсe:

* Use only transmission oil recommended by the vehicle manufacturer.
* Regularly check the automatic transmission oil level and top it up if necessary.
* Since a partial automatic transmission oil change does not drain all the old oil, it is recommended to repeat this procedure several times to completely renew the fluid.
*If you have any doubts or need assistance changing your automatic transmission oil, contact a certified mechanic.
