Note: The filler plug also functions as a level measuring probe.
1. Take a short drive to warm up the engine/transmission to operating temperature.
2. Park the car on a level place (not downhill), turn off the ignition and apply the handbrake. For better access, jack up the front of the car and place it on axle stands. Remember that when filling the block and measuring the oil level, the car must be standing on its wheels.
3. Wipe off and then remove the filler/check 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 case. To access the drain plug, remove the screws and transmission cover.
5. Remove the drain plug and allow the oil to drain completely into a container. If the engine is too hot, be careful of splashes. Clean the filler and drain plugs, taking care to remove all metal particles from the magnetic inserts. Discard the sealing washers - they should be replaced after each plug removal.
6. When all the oil has drained, clean the drain plug threads, install a new sealing washer, and tighten the drain plug securely. If the vehicle was jacked up, lower it onto the wheels. Where necessary, install the transmission cover.
7. Filling the transmission is extremely inconvenient. In addition, in order for the oil level to be established (before it can be measured) takes a long time. Note that when checking the oil level, the car must be on a level surface (not downhill).
8. Fill the transmission with the correct amount of fluid specified 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 correct amount of fluid but a significant amount of fluid leaked when checking the level, reinstall the filler plug and drive the transmission for a short time, then recheck the level and add fluid if necessary.
