Caution: Do not reuse drained fluid. Always refill with ATF Dexron or Dexron II fluid.
When changing the fluid, be sure to rinse the filter with clean gasoline.
Pour liquid into the expansion tank up to the MAX mark.
Raise the car, see item 29.
Turn the oil pump pulley by hand.
With the engine off, turn the steering wheel sharply from lock to lock several times; this may help release air from the cylinder.
Pour liquid into the expansion tank up to the MAX mark.
Disconnect the high tension cable between the distributor and the ignition coil.
At intervals, turn on the starter and at the same time turn the steering wheel 5-6 times left and right until it stops (approximately 15-20 seconds).
Note: When removing air, add liquid to the expansion tank. Make sure that the liquid does not fall below the lower edge of the filter.
The air removal process is carried out at starter speed (with the engine not running), since otherwise air may get into the liquid again.

Place the wheels in the straight position and lower the vehicle.
Connect the ignition wire.
Start the engine and let it idle. At the same time, watch the fluid level in the expansion tank. If the fluid level drops, add fluid to the tank so that the level is constantly at the MAX mark.
With the engine running, turn the steering wheel from lock to lock until no more air bubbles come out of the expansion tank. Do not hold the steering wheel at the lock for longer than 10 seconds.
Add fluid up to the MAX mark. The oil should not be cloudy. When turning the steering wheel left or right, slight changes in the fluid level may occur.
Stop the engine and check the fluid level. The fluid level should not change by more than 5 mm. Otherwise, it is necessary to repeat the process of removing air from the system.
If the fluid level rises sharply after the engine is stopped, there is still air in the system.
Unusual noises in the oil pump and in the control valve can be caused by the presence of air in the system. Air locks can lead to premature wear of the pump.
