Probe arrangement for measurement of level of oil in the automatic transmission

|
If the transmission cold, the level of oil has to be between two lower tags, and at a hot box – between two top tags. |
Oil level in the automatic transmission – an important operational indicator. Both low, and high level of oil is not allowed.
| PERFORMANCE ORDER |
| 1. Carry out a short trip on the car to heat transmission to normal temperature. |
| 2. Install the car on a plain horizontal surface. Idling the engine, the tightened hand and foot brake, move the selector handle on all positions and return to a starting position (Park). In this position of the selector and engine idling take the probe for measurement of level of oil and along with a mark of level estimate an oil condition. |
| 3. Wipe the probe and install it into place. |
| 4. Repeatedly take the probe and measure oil level. If the transmission cold, the level of oil has to be between two lower tags on the probe. If the transmission is heated-up up to the normal working temperature, the level of oil has to be between two top tags on the probe. |
| 5. If oil level low, then add it through an opening for the probe. The distance between tags corresponds to about 1 l of oil. Add oil in the small portions. If color of oil black or brown, oil it is necessary to replace. If you doubt quality of oil, compare a sample of the fresh oil and oil which is in the transmission. |
