Note: It is recommended to drain the oil (liquid) within 15 minutes after driving, while it is still warm and has good fluidity.
Notes:
- Fill the manual transmission with API GL4 SAE 80W-90 or SAE 75W-90 oil. The manufacturer recommends replacing the factory-filled oil with SAE 75W transmission oil if the vehicle is operated for a long time at ambient temperatures below –30°C.
- For an automatic transmission, the manufacturer recommends a working fluid.
To check the oil level, top it up or replace it in a manual transmission perform the following operations.
You will need: socket heads "13", "17", syringe.
1. Loosen the oil level plug located on the side of the gearbox housing and remove the plug.
2. The oil level should be at the edge of the hole or slightly below it (you can reach the surface of the oil with a screwdriver or your finger).
3. If the oil level is very low (can't be controlled with a screwdriver or finger), remove the cap from the oil filler plug located on top of the gearshift housing…
4. …loose the plug…
5. …and turn it inside out.
Note: The oil filler plug also functions as a breather, so check that the holes in it are clean.
Attention! It is prohibited to operate the vehicle without the protective cap of the plug! If it is missing, road dirt will get into the gearbox.
6. Using a syringe, pour oil into the hole in the gearshift housing until it appears from the inspection hole. Screw in the inspection hole plug.
Note: The plug has a magnet to collect metal wear debris, please clean it before installing the plug.
7. Screw in the oil filler plug.
8. The design does not include a plug for draining the oil, so if you need to change the oil, place a container under the gearbox to drain the oil, unscrew the bolts securing the lower cover of the gearbox...
9. …and drain the oil.
10. Remove the cover and gasket.
11. Wipe the cover and gasket with a clean cloth to remove any remaining oil.
Note: Replace the gasket with a new one each time the bottom cover is removed.
12. Install the lower gearbox cover and fill with oil in the same way as you did when checking its level and topping up (see points 1–6).
To check the fluid level, top it up or replace it in an automatic transmission perform the following operations.
You will need: a square wrench "8", a syringe.
1. Warm up the working fluid in the gearbox to an operating temperature of 70–80°C by taking a short drive.
2. Place the vehicle on a level, horizontal surface and apply the parking brake.
3. While pressing the brake pedal and holding it down, alternately move the selector lever to all positions from "P" (parking) to "D" (forward movement), briefly holding each position to fill the torque converter and hydraulic system with fluid. Then set the selector lever to the "N" (neutral) position. Release the brake pedal.
4. Place a wide container under the gearbox to collect the fluid.
5. Unscrew the plug of the hole for filling the working fluid. When the level is normal, it begins to flow out of the hole or you can reach its surface with your finger.
6. If the level is low, add fluid with a syringe in the same way as you did for a manual transmission (see above in this subsection), until it starts to flow out through the hole. Tighten the plug to a torque of 45 N·m.
7. To replace the fluid, unscrew the plug of the hole for draining the working fluid and drain the fluid. Tighten the plug with a torque of 45 N·m.
8. Fill in the working fluid in the same way as you did when checking the level (see points 5 and 6 above).
Note: When the liquid is completely drained, the calculated volume of newly added liquid will be 4 liters.
