How to check the oil level in the variator

Modern cars differ from their predecessors, and enough for many criteria and details. The meaning, of course, remains the same, but at the same time, there is a lot of differences between them. Each owner of the car should understand the nuances of his vehicle, and today it is worth considering the following topic - checking the oil in the variator. Let's find out how this process is produced, for which it is needed and what may be wrong.

1

Process nuances

It is no secret that in the most modern cars, there are often such devices such as variators (instead of automatic type gearboxes). The device under consideration is the mechanism that transmits efforts from the wheels to the "heart" of the car - the engine.

The oil must be changed in obligatory, and, to do it regularly. You can make this process, both with your own hands, and send your car to a service station, where his staff, is understandable, for a fee will do this process quickly and efficiently. Liquid in the variator can also be changed differently, namely, the full oil change or partial.

Drain of oil and checking its level

If you compare cars with automatic transmission and with a variator, then the second option of advantages before the first is very many, the main of which are:

• overclocking vehicles occurs in a more dynamic mode
• fuel consumption is carried out in economy

Despite this, the variators require more careful care and maintenance. Specialists argue that changing the oil in the variator is necessary every 45,000 mileage kilometers.

If we are talking about a partial replacement of oil in the variator, then it is possible to note the simplicity of the process, so it is possible to carry out in the home, garage conditions. Time Many this process will not take you, because it is performed very simple:

• First you need to raise the car. You can do this in two ways - to raise the lift or just drive into the repair pit. The position of the car should be strictly horizontal.
• Now it is necessary to find the container in which the oil will be stroke and substitute it under the pallet, and if we speak more specifically, under the plum stop, which is located on it.
• The next step is to remove the plum bolt. After that, we leave in this position for a few minutes. This time will be needed so that all the oil flows out of the lubricant system.
• Upon the expiration of the time, tighten the cork back and gently pour liquid (fresh, cooked wound) into the variator through a special hole to fill it.
• In some modern models of vehicles, the owner has to remove the wheel in order to have access to the filling hole.

• The last stage is the case for small, check the level of the oiled oil. For these purposes, it is best to use probe.

Thus, you can replace the oil in the variator, update it percentage of 40-45. It turns out that the new liquid is mixed with the old, updated, but it does not change its composition.

In this way, the car owner can also replace the oil in the variator completely. To do this, he will have to do the only considered operation several times, with a frequency of 350-450 mileage kilometers. Name this method of replacement is the most rational and economical, but it has the place to be and is sometimes used in practice.

Check the oil in the variator and change it

In order for how to replace the oil in your variator (completely), it will be better for help for help from experts, despite the fact that you have to pay for the procedure conducted by them. The advantages of calling at a hundred times, the main ones are a high-quality replacement and efficiency of the process. Family able to replace with their own hands the oil in the variator completely so that it was qualitatively (after all, for this requires special equipment).

Let's figure it out in detail with how to correctly check the oil in the radiator:

• It must be remembered that before checking, the oil should be warmed up to 55-75 degrees. To do this, you will need to start the car and take a little on it. The heating process to the desired temperature at normal speed for 10 minutes (if the ambient temperature is at least 17 degrees).
• Now it's time to stop the car, and the place to check the oil in the variator must be even so that the car is in a horizontal position.
• Do not forget to put a car on the handbrake (the so-called parking brake).
• The engine must work at idle and at the point you squeeze the "brake" and translate the selector's smoothly through all available positions on your variator.
• Now it's time to open the hood and find the probe under it, which will be fixed in the nozzle, if you always put it in place. If you spend this procedure for the first time, then you need to know that it is honey engine and battery.

• The probe thoroughly wipe, after which turn it over all 180 degrees and pushing it until it stops the pipe itself. It is necessary to do it smoothly and gently.
• After the manipulations done, it will be necessary to translate the lever to N and then make sure that the liquid in the variator is sufficient.

Everything is very simple, if you know the technology of checking and the sequence of all actions, so that you will not need to go to the service station to check the oil in the variator.
