Please note: The transmission drain plug is only available on some vehicles. The procedure for replacing the fluid in this case is no different from that described below, with the exception that instead of removing the pan, you need to unscrew the plug.
Automatic transmission drain plug (on car parts)
1. Drain plug
Transmission fluid level check marks on the dipstick
1. Lower mark for cold liquid
2. Upper mark for cold liquid
3. Bottom mark for hot liquid
4. Upper mark for hot liquid
Procedure
1. Immediately after the trip, place the car on stands. Place a pan under the transmission housing.
2. Carefully remove the pan by first partially loosening the bolts and tapping lightly, then completely loosening the bolts. Drain the liquid. Check the condition of the fluid. If the fluid is black or dark brown, or has a "burnt" smell, then you need to take the car to a service center to have the transmission checked.
3. Loosen the mounting bolts and remove the filter. Replace the porous filter.
Wash the mesh filter in solvent and dry.
4. Install the filter and thoroughly washed pan in reverse order, replacing the gaskets. Tighten the oil pan bolts in a diagonal sequence to 17 N·m.
5. Fill with fresh fluid in the required amount up to the lower mark on the dipstick.
Pouring liquid is not allowed.
6. Start the engine and move the selector lever from position P to all other positions, then back to position P. Check the transmission fluid level. Top up to the bottom mark. Take a ride, check the level again and top up to the upper mark corresponding to a warm transmission.
