The automatic transmission uses GenuineEJ-1 ATF transmission oil (supplier JX Nippon Oil and Energy Corporation) in accordance with the current "Codifier of the main and auxiliary materials used in the maintenance and repair of Lada vehicles" K 3100.25100.00018
The oil used in the automatic transmission does not require service replacements, since its high performance characteristics ensure normal operation of the automatic transmission throughout the entire specified service life of the vehicle.
In cases where it is necessary to drain the oil from the automatic transmission (automatic transmission repair, replacement of seals and gaskets, removal of wheel drives, etc.), reusing the oil is not allowed.
The gearbox may only be filled with new oil.
When adding or changing oil, repairing and performing any other actions with the automatic transmission, prevent dirt and other foreign particles from getting inside the automatic transmission.
When necessary, wipe the internal parts (dipstick, drive seal seats, gears and shafts during automatic transmission repair, etc.) only with lint-free paper.
Lint and dirt particles can clog the throttle holes of the control valve system and lead to a violation of the automatic transmission operating algorithm or its complete failure.
Check the level and change the oil in the automatic transmission with the car parked, on a horizontal surface surfaces.
Checking the oil level in the automatic transmission
Before removing the oil level indicator (dipstick), thoroughly clean the adjacent surfaces from dirt.
Only lint-free paper or towels may be used to wipe the oil level indicator.
The oil level should be checked when the oil temperature is 70 – 80˚ C
The procedure for checking the oil level
- - warm up the engine;
- - check for oil leaks from the automatic transmission, eliminate if necessary leaks;
- - measure the oil temperature in the automatic transmission (digital multimeter with a thermocouple);
- - if the oil temperature is not high enough, you need to drive the car for about 10 minutes (at an ambient temperature of 20˚C, it takes about 10 minutes to warm up the oil to a temperature of 50˚-80˚C);
- - place the car on a level surface and apply the parking brake;
- - with the engine running, press the brake pedal and move the gear shift lever from position "P" to position "1", then move the gear shift lever from position "1" to position "P", holding the lever for 5 seconds in each intermediate position;
- - remove the oil level indicator, wipe it and reinsert the indicator into the automatic transmission until it stops;
- - remove the indicator again and check the oil level, which should be within the control section "A", for hot oil;
- - if the oil level is near the "MIN" mark, you need to add oil.
Attention:
- - insufficient oil level in the automatic transmission can lead to air being sucked into the oil pump;
- - excessive oil level in the automatic transmission can lead to a car fire.
Checking the condition of the oil in the automatic transmission
Oil condition - Possible causes - Elimination method
Oily (viscous-oily) - The clutch or brake is burnt out - Perform diagnostics of the automatic transmission, check the wiring harnesses, cooling system pipes, etc., eliminate the faults. Change the oil in the automatic transmission.
Milk-white or cloudy - Water in the oil - Fix the problem and change the oil in the automatic transmission
A large amount of metal powder impurities - Excessive wear of the rubbing surfaces - Fix the problem and change the oil in the automatic transmission
Oil change
Place the car on a lift or inspection pit, apply the parking brake and turn off the ignition.
Raise the car to a height convenient for performing work
Unscrew drain plug 2 and overflow tube 3 and drain the oil from the gearbox.
Tighten the overflow tube back into place. The tightening torque of the overflow tube is 14.8 Nm (1.5 kgf.m).
Install a new sealing ring on the drain plug and tighten the plug back into place. The tightening torque of the plug is 34.3 or (3.5 kgf.m).
Lower the car if it was on a lift.
Remove the oil level indicator from the automatic transmission and pour about 1 liter of GenuineEJ-1 ATF transmission oil through the indicator hole.
Add oil level in the automatic transmission to the norm.
