Oil level check
Category name: I want to perform aIf the initial fill was done properly, the oil level will be at a correct level (“level-plug” level)
Due to tolerances (such as: new transmissions are delivered with a residual oil volume and initial fill tolerances) the tolerance on the correct “level-plug”-level will be ± 0.165 liter.
For an oil level check proceed as follow:
- Remove the oil filling plug (3) on top of the transmission
- Fill the transmission with exactly 0.5 Litre
- Refit the oil filling plug (3) together with a new sealing ring (18-24Nm)
- To increase the oil temperature, drive carefully around for at least 5 minutes or until the temperature of the transmission has reached approximately 60°C.
- Place the car on a flat ground.
- Apply the foot brake.
- Wait two seconds
- Move the gear lever into ‘P’ position.
- Keep the engine running idle.
- Remove the oil level plug (2), while engine running idle
- Collect the drained oil (min 0.335 Litre and max 0.665 Litre)
-Minimum 0.335 litre (0.5ADDED OIL - 0.165tolerances = 0.335 Litre) oil will drain out off
the transmission. If the collected amount is less:
the initial level was too low.
-Maximum 0.665 litre (0.5ADDED OIL + 0.165tolerances = 0.665 Litre) oil will drain out off
the transmission. If the collected amount is more:
the initial level was too high.
Mentioned values are valid for exactly 60deg.
- Refit the oil level plug (2) with a new sealing ring (18-24Nm)
- Shutoff the engine.
