The bulk of the problems with automatic transmissions are associated with the unsatisfactory condition of the oil in the automatic transmission. One problem is the wrong oil level. So how do you determine the oil level in an automatic transmission?
Instructions
Step 1
Before you start checking the oil level in the automatic transmission, you need to start the engine and warm it up to a certain temperature. This can be achieved by driving the car over a distance of 15-20 km. Before directly starting to carry out the process of measuring the oil level itself, it is necessary to fill the entire control system with it. And for this you need to shift the automatic transmission lever in all possible positions. After such a process, it is necessary to return it to the neutral position.
Step 2
Then provide the vehicle with a level, horizontal surface without shutting off the engine. Move the automatic transmission lever to the "P" position. Take out a special dipstick for checking the oil level from the automatic transmission and wipe it dry. Then insert it back into the dipstick until it stops and pull it out again. The lower, dry place on the dipstick will correspond to the oil level in the automatic transmission.
Step 3
But do not forget that there are various tricks in checking the oil in a car. This is written in the instructions from the manufacturer's factory, which is attached to each machine. For example, on a Honda car, the check is done only after the oil has warmed up to operating temperature and with the engine turned off. And on such models as "Mitsubishi", "Hyundai", "VW", "Audi" (with three-speed gearboxes), it is necessary to put the automatic transmission lever in the "N" position. There are also cars with automatic transmission, where instead of a dipstick there is just a control plug and to check the oil level, it should be put in reality or lifted on a lift. This is how the BMW brand is tested.
