CHECKING THE TRANSMISSION OIL
LEVEL AND TOPPING UP (Fig. 29)
Remember: 1 mile = 1.6 km
1 km = 0.625 miles.
Read pages 31 and 50 carefully.
Check the transmission oil level every 4000 km, ex-
cepted the cases in which the oil change is recom-
mended (see "CHANGING THE TRANSMISSION
OIL" - page 54).
To carry out the checking:
– stop the engine and let it cool down for at least 10
minutes, in order to allow the oil to flow back to the
oil pan;
– keep the vehicle in vertical position, with the two
wheels resting on the ground;
– make sure that the oil level reaches or exceeds the
middle of the peephole (1);
– if this doesn't occur, it means that the oil quantity is
insufficient. In this case, remove the plug (2) and
pour small quantities of oil through the filling hole.
Wait about 2 minutes, in order to allow the oil to
distribute uniformly inside the oil pan, then repeat
the operation until the oil level reaches the middle
of the peephole (1);
– retighten the filling plug (2).
