Note. The fill plug also acts as a level probe.
1. Take a short drive to warm up the engine/transmission to operating temperature.
2. Park your car on level ground (not slanted), turn off the ignition and engage the handbrake. To improve access, jack up the front of the vehicle and place it on axle stands. Remember that when filling the block and measuring the oil level, the car must be on wheels.
3. Wipe and then unscrew the filler/control plug located on the front wall of the transmission. Remove the sealing washer.
4. Place a suitable container under the drain plug located on the base of the transmission housing. To access the drain plug, unscrew the screws and remove the transmission guard.
5. Remove the drain plug and let the oil drain completely into a container. If the engine is too hot, watch out for splashing. Clean the fill and drain plugs, being careful to remove all metal particles from the magnetic inserts. Discard the sealing washers - they should be changed after each removal of the plugs.
6. When all the oil has run out, clean the drain threads, install a new sealing washer, and tighten the drain plug securely. If the car has been jacked up, lower it onto its wheels. Where necessary, install a protective cover on the transmission.
7. Filling the transmission is extremely inconvenient. In addition, in order for the oil level to settle (before it can be measured) it takes a lot of time. Note that the vehicle must be on level ground when checking the oil level (not slanted).
8. Fill the transmission with the correct quantity indicated in Specifications type of oil, then check its level. Install the filler plug with a new sealing washer and tighten it securely.
Note. If the transmission was filled with the specified amount of oil, but a significant amount of oil leaked out when checking the level, install the filler plug and drive for a short time, then check the level again and add oil if necessary.
