Note:
- (Replacing the working fluid of the variator) Firm "Jatco", the manufacturer of the variator, does not indicate the need to replace the variator fluid, since its use is designed for the entire life of the gearbox. However, taking into account operation in the CIS countries, it is recommended to replace the working fluid of the variator under normal operating conditions every 40,000 - 60,000 km. When operating under severe conditions, it is recommended to reduce the oil change intervals.
- This procedure is carried out only in the absence of a special device for draining the working fluid.
Attention: when replacing or overhauling the variator or automatic transmission, it is necessary to clean the working fluid cooler pipelines and replace the working fluid in the variator or automatic transmission.
1. Disconnect the hose shown in the figure connecting the variator / automatic transmission and the fluid cooler built into the radiator of the cooling system.
2. Start the engine and drain the hydraulic fluid through the hose when the engine is idling and the CVT or automatic transmission selector lever is in the position "N".
Note: after starting, let the engine run for no more than 1 minute. If the working fluid drains before this point, stop the engine immediately.
The volume of the drained working fluid is approximately 3.5 liters
3. Unscrew the drain plug on the bottom of the CVT or automatic transmission housing and let the working fluid drain into the prepared container.
The volume of the drained working fluid is approximately 2.0 liters
Variable speed drive.
automatic transmission
4. Install the drain plug with a new gasket and tighten the plug to the specified torque.
Tightening torque - 32 +2 Nm
5. Fill with fresh working fluid (ATF) into the variator or automatic transmission through the guide tube of the working fluid level probe.
Recommended fluid is DiaQueen ATF SP-III or equivalent
Filling volume - approximately 5.5 liters
Attention: stop filling the working fluid into the variator or automatic transmission if it is impossible to fill in the above volume.
6. Repeat the procedure for paragraph "2". Note: drain at least 8 liters (variable speed drive) or 7 liters (automatic transmission) through the hydraulic fluid cooler hose when performing the procedures in paragraphs "2" And "6". Then drain some more working fluid and check for signs of contamination of the working fluid. If the working fluid is contaminated, then repeat the steps "5" - "6".
7. Fill with fresh fluid through the dipstick guide tube.
Filling volume - approximately 3.5 liters
8. Connect the CVT or automatic transmission fluid cooler hose (detached at paragraph "1"), clean the dipstick and its mounting location, then firmly insert the dipstick into place.
9. Start the engine and let it idle for one to two minutes.
10. Move the CVT or automatic transmission selector through all positions, then set it to position "N".
11. Make sure the fluid level is at the "COLD" on the fluid level dipstick. If the level is below this mark, then add the required amount of working fluid.
12. Drive the car until the working fluid (ATF) in the CVT or automatic transmission does not reach normal operating temperature (70 - 80°C), then recheck the fluid level. The fluid level must be within the range "NOT".
Total filling capacity:
- Variator - 8.1 l
- Automatic transmission - 7.7 l
Note:
- mark "COLD" on the dipstick of the working fluid level is only a reference. Always check the fluid level in the CVT or automatic transmission over the range "NOT" on a warmed-up variator or a warmed-up automatic transmission.
- Reading the operating fluid temperature (ATF) it is recommended to perform with the MUT-II tester.
13. If the fluid level is above the range "NOT" dipstick, then drain excess fluid through the drain plug. If the fluid level is below the range "NOT" dipstick, then add working fluid to the variator or automatic transmission.
14. Insert the dipstick securely into its guide tube.
