How to check the oil level in the automatic transmission

Even the presence of an automatic transmission in the car does not save the car enthusiast from the automatic transmission of automatic transmission, even though it will be minimal. It is about replacing the oil in the gearbox. It is necessary not only not to forget to control the level of lubrication fluid, but also correctly produce it. Also, using the instruction manual for your vehicle, find out which oil and in what quantity your "automatic" requires.

Checking the oil level in automatic transmission

Sequencing:

  • Create the engine and warm the oil into the automatic transmission. To do this, in the warm season it is necessary to drive about 15-20 km.
  • Next, install your car on a smooth horizontal surface. This requirement is mandatory, otherwise the measured level will be inaccurate.
  • Next, translate the box of the box to the position "Parking" (P). In some models of "automata" to determine the level of oil in the handle box, the latter is transferred to neutral position (N).
  • Not drowning the engine, open the hood and go to check the dipstick (it most often has a red or orange handle). Remove it and dry the flavors of the fabric.
  • Then insert it back until it stops for 3-5 seconds and reveal again.
  • Now evaluates measurement results.



Interpretation of measurement results

Control Property In most cases has several notches, indicating the allowable oil level when heated and cold engine (for example, Cold and HOT). In this case, the COLD mark is more "reference", indicating the amount of oil poured into the box. The main assessment is carried out relative to the notches of HOT.

  • After re-extracting the probe, determine the level of lubricating fluid. They will be the bottom dry edge on the dipstick.
  • Also estimate also the color of the oil, the presence of impurities and sediment. The presence of the latter can be a sign of wear or damage to the mechanisms. But the darkening of the lubricant often indicates the overheating of the latter.
  • We conclude about the need to replace oil. Even if the level of lubricant is normal, but there is a precipitate, and the color of the oil has changed - the lubricant must be replaced and find out the causes of deviations.

Oil level in automatic transmission - indicator higher or lower than normal level

So, you conducted an inspection and familiar with its result. If the oil is transparent, does not have impurities, and its level corresponds to the markup - everything is in order, no action is required of you. How to be if the oil level turned out to be higher or the norm and what is it fraught?

Both high and too low lubricating fluid leads to the pumping of the pump. As a result, the latter "picks up not only oil, but also the air. The resulting mixture of oil and air no longer has the properties necessary for correct operation. As a result - rapid wear of the latter. If, according to the results of checking the lubrication level, you found a lack of the latter, it should simply add.
