2. Park the car on a level surface, set the handbrake and turn off the ignition. Raise the front part of the car and place it on stands.
3. Remove the dipstick and place a container under the transmission. The drain plug is on the right side of the transmission, under the axle shaft (see photo).
4. Unscrew the drain plug in the transmission pan and drain the fluid into a container. Clean the drain plug thoroughly, removing metal particles from the magnetic inserts. The plug gasket must be replaced after unscrewing it.
5. Clean the threads on the plug and tighten the drain plug to the specified torque. Lower the vehicle.
6. Pour the required amount of liquid through the measuring pipe. Pour the liquid in small portions through a funnel with a thin metal mesh. Before checking the level, you need to wait a long time for the liquid to drain completely.
7. Start the engine, let it idle for a few minutes, stop the engine and check the fluid level again. If necessary, add fluid to the lower mark on the dipstick. Take a short drive to distribute the fluid evenly throughout the transmission, then check the level again, which should correspond to the operating temperature of the transmission.
