12-30 Simple inspection and service
NOTE:
• Oil removal is quicker if performed not so long
after the vehicle has been stopped and while the
oil is still warm.
• Do not confuse the transmission oil inspection
plug and drain plug with the clutch control
fluid inspection plug and drain plug , which are
located nearer to the front of the vehicle than the
transmission oil inspection plug and drain plug.
3. The drain plug is fitted with a magnet. Wipe off
any metal particles sticking to the magnet.
4. Replace the gasket of the drain plug with a new
one.
5. Coat the threads of the drain plug with the spec-
ified sealant.
6. After transmission oil has drained out com-
pletely, install and tighten the drain plug.
7. Add oil through the inspection plug hole until it
reaches the bottom of the hole.
Put your finger straightly into the inspection plug
hole after one minute has passed, and check
that the oil is filled up to the opening of the hole.
8. Like with the drain plug, replace the gasket of
the inspection plug with a new one, coat the
plug’s threads with the specified sealant, and
then install and tighten the plug.
WARNING
Do not replace the oil immediately after driv-
ing, as you could be scalded by extremely
hot oil. Give the oil time to cool before drain-
ing it.
