Automatic transmissions are rapidly replacing mechanical gear shifting devices (manual transmissions). Almost all new car models come with an automatic transmission.
It is important to know how to check the oil level in the automatic transmission.
The mechanism is picky about the quality of the lubricant. Friction between the working elements of the automatic transmission is present. The lack of oil in the machine leads to overheating and reduced operating life.
If the engine oil level is better to check in a cold state, then with an automatic transmission the situation is reversed. Oil check is performed on a heated automatic transmission.
1. Having passed a dozen kilometers, the car is installed on a flat platform with a viewing pit without a slope.
2. To stop the engine and dismantle the protection in the vicinity of the automatic transmission.
3. The stylus location is visually set.
4. The probe is removed and rubbed with a cloth.
5. Returns to its original place and after a second is removed.
6. The optimal level of oil in the automatic box between the labels min and max.
7. Stick is installed in place.
How to check the oil level in the variator?
Motorists to a lesser extent, faced with the variator gearbox.
Increasingly, there are automatic transmissions. Many are wary and suspicious of them.
What is the variator?
Continuously variable transmission with external control. The gear ratio changes automatically in accordance with the load and engine speed.
Check the oil level in the variator is performed on a warm engine. This ensures high measurement accuracy.
1. The machine is installed on a flat horizontal surface without a slope.
2. It is not necessary to turn off the motor.
3. The brake pedal is depressed and the variator selector switches to all positions.
4. Delay in each position should be no more than 10 seconds.
5. The selector returns to its original position.
6. Unlock the hood by the handle on the left side of the steering wheel.
7.Open the hood.
8. Visually detect the dipstick in the filler neck of the variator (yellow or orange color).
9. Retrieve probe.
10. Using a wipe, wipe the working area of the probe and put it back in place.
11. Remove the dipstick and check the oil level.
12. The optimal position between the min and max marks.
13. Turn the dipstick into place.
