Caution: Do not reuse drained fluid Be sure to refill with Dexron or Dexron II ATF.
When changing the fluid, be sure to flush the filter with clean gasoline.
Pour liquid into the compensation tank up to the MAX mark.
lift the car, see par. 29.
Turn the oil pump pulley by hand.
With the engine off, turn the steering wheel sharply from lock to lock several times, this can help air out of the cylinder.
Pour liquid into the compensation tank up to the MAX mark.
Disconnect the high voltage cable between the distributor and the ignition coil.
At intervals, turn on the starter and at the same time turn the steering wheel 5-6 times to the left and right until it stops (about 15-20 seconds).
Caution: When venting, add liquid to the expansion tank. Make sure that the liquid does not fall below the lower edge of the filter.
The process of removing air is carried out at the speed of the starter (with the engine off), because otherwise air can again enter the liquid.
Put the wheels in a straight position and lower the car.
Connect the ignition wire.
Start the engine and let it idle. At the same time, observe the liquid level in the compensation tank. If the liquid level drops, add liquid to the tank so that the level is constantly at the MAX mark.
With the engine running, tilt the steering wheel from lock to lock until no more air bubbles come out of the expansion tank. In this case, do not hold the steering wheel on the stop for more than 10 seconds.
Add fluid up to the MAX mark. The oil must not be cloudy When the steering wheel is turned to the left or right, slight changes in the fluid level may occur.
Stop the engine and check the fluid level. The liquid level should change by no more than 5 mm. Otherwise, it is necessary to repeat the process of removing air from the system.
If the fluid level rises sharply after stopping the engine, there is still air in the system.
Unusual noises in the oil pump and control valve may be caused by the presence of air in the system. Air locks can lead to premature wear of the pump.
