The test probe is located in the engine compartment. ATF is also poured here (Automatic Transmission Fluid)
Attention: The check must be carried out on a warm gearbox (60°С). At higher or lower temperatures, the oil level may be different. (Thermal expansion of ATF). Accurate measurement is only possible at a given temperature.
Warm up the engine. The transmission oil temperature should be 60°C.
Park the unladen vehicle on a level surface.
Set shift lever to position "R", pull out the handbrake.
During the test, the engine is idling.
Remove the index probe and wipe it with a lint-free cloth, but preferably with leather. Then, on the right, fully insert and remove, read the readings
Liquid level at temperature (60°С) should be between the two marks on the dipstick.
If the oil level is very low, check the transmission for leakage and repair if necessary. Also, check the oil level in the final drive. If the level is OK, add ATF for the planetary gear. Otherwise, replace the gasket between the planetary gear and final drive.
If ATF needs to be topped up, use a clean funnel and fine mesh. The amount of liquid between the max and min marks is 0.23 liters.
Caution: Do not overfill with oil. Too much oil can cause malfunctions in the automation. In any case, excess oil must be drained or pumped out with a syringe.
At the same time, check the old oil for appearance and smell. Burnt friction linings cause a burning smell Dirty oil can cause transmission control problems.
Caution: Only oils prescribed by the ATF factory may be used.
All approved ATF oils may be mixed with each other. Do not use any additives. Without ATF oil in the torque converter and in the gearbox, the engine cannot be started and the vehicle cannot be towed.
After a successful check and correction, reinsert the oil level dipstick.
Press the brake pedal and sequentially engage all positions of the gear lever. Check the oil level again.
