The frequency of oil changes is 60 thousand km
It is recommended to drain the oil immediately after the trip
Before draining the oil, it is necessary to clean the breather from contamination.
Place a container under the gearbox oil drain hole.
Unscrew the oil drain plug 1 and drain the oil.
Tighten the oil drain plug 1 and unscrew the oil filler plug 2.
If the drained oil is heavily contaminated or contains mechanical impurities, you must do the following:
- - pour 0.9 liters of flushing oil into the crankcase and install the oil filler plug in place;
- - hang up one or both wheels, engage 1st gear and start the engine for 2-3 minutes;
- - drain the flushing oil;
- - wipe the oil drain plug and replace it.
Fill the gearbox housing with fresh oil using a syringe.
Fill up to the level of the oil filler hole (1.2 liters).
Install the oil filler plug in place.

We install the car on an overpass or inspection ditch.
Drain the gearbox oil immediately after the trip, before it cools down.
Use a 12mm hex wrench to unscrew the drain plug and drain the oil into a wide container with a capacity of at least two liters.
If the used oil is dark in color or there are visible metal particles in it, wash the gearbox by installing the drain plug in place, clearing its magnet of steel shavings.
Then, using a 12mm hex wrench, unscrew the filler plug on the right side of the crankcase (for a car with a ZMZ-406 engine) or on the left (with a ZMZ-402 engine).
Using an oil syringe, pour approximately one liter of a mixture of transmission or motor oil with 20-30% kerosene or diesel fuel into the box and replace the filler plug.
Putting stops under the front wheels, we hang the rear wheel or the entire axle.
Having engaged first gear, start the engine for 2-3 minutes.
Having installed the car on wheels, completely drain the flushing oil (draining time is at least 5 minutes).
Having cleaned the drain plug again, screw it back into place with a key.
After unscrewing the filler plug, use an oil syringe to fill the gearbox with fresh transmission oil to the level of the filler hole (1.2 liters).
Having installed the filler plug in place, turn it with a key. Instead of a syringe, you can use a funnel with a hose.
