Gear oils and fluids for automatic transmission
For manual transmission and differential oils used the following brands: API GL 4, SAE 80, G50 and SAE 75W-90. Periodic replacement and checking the oil level is not provided. In some cases (for example, leaks) it is necessary to check the oil level and top up. To do this, follow these steps: - Park the vehicle on a pit or hoist; - Unscrew the oil filler plug gearbox; - Check the oil-filling hole through the oil level. It must be not less than 6 mm in the lower edge of the hole; - Add oil (if necessary); - Tighten the plug.
