Pic. 12.3. The location of the hose connecting the automatic transmission to the oil cooler
1. Disconnect shown in fig. 12.3 hose that connects the automatic transmission to the oil cooler located inside the radiator of the engine cooling system.
2. Start the engine and allow the hydraulic fluid to drain through the hose, the volume of which will be approximately 3.5 liters.
Conditions
The engine is idling, the automatic transmission selector lever is in position «N».
Attention! One minute after starting, the engine must be stopped. If all the working fluid has flowed out earlier, then the engine must be turned off immediately at this moment.

3. Unscrew the plug (pic. 12.4) drain hole in the crankcase and drain the remaining working fluid, the volume of which will be approximately 2.0 liters.
4. Replace oil filter.
5. Install drain plug with gasket and tighten to 32 Nm.
6. Pour through the funnel installed in the oil filler tube, new working fluid in a volume of approximately 5.5 liters.
Attention! If the specified volume of working fluid is not included in the automatic transmission, then you should stop and perform the following actions.
1. Repeat the procedure to remove all fluid from the system and hoses.
Attention! Check the drained fluid for dirt. If the fluid is contaminated, repeat the procedure to remove all fluid from the system and hoses.
2. Fill new fluid directly into the oil filler tube.
3. Replace the previously disconnected hose (see fig. 12.3) and firmly insert the dipstick.
4. Start the engine and let it run at idle speed for 1-2 minutes.
5. Move the automatic transmission selector lever sequentially to all positions and then set it to position «N».
6. The level of the working fluid must be at the mark «COLD» measuring probe. If it is lower, then add the required amount of working fluid.
7. Start the engine and drive some distance so that the temperature of the working fluid reaches the operating temperature (70–80°C), then again check its level, which should be at the mark «NOT».
Attention! mark «COLD» on the dipstick is only necessary for an approximate assessment of the oil level in a cold state.
8. Install the dipstick firmly into the oil filler tube.
