2. Let the engine idle and place the selector lever in the "P" ("park") position. Remove the dipstick from the meter tube and wipe dry with a clean rag or wrapping paper. Insert the dipstick back into the tube until it stops, then remove the dipstick. Determine the level by the position of the fluid film, paying attention to the two sets of level marks on the dipstick. On one side of the dipstick there are upper and lower level marks for cold fluid (these marks are marked "cold" and are applied in the form of cutouts on the edge of the dipstick). These marks can be used to determine the level at a fluid temperature of 30 to 50°C. On the opposite side of the dipstick there are upper and lower "hot" marks, applied in the form of dashes, which are used to determine the fluid level at a temperature of 50° to 80°C. On a warmed-up transmission, the level should be determined by the "hot" marks.
3. Add transmission fluid (if necessary) should be through the measuring pipe, inserting a funnel with a thin metal mesh so as not to spill the liquid and exclude the ingress of foreign impurities. The liquid should be added until the level is between the upper and lower marks of the dipstick for the corresponding temperature range.
Attention! The fluid level must always be below the upper mark; overfilling is prohibited.
4. When finished, take a short drive to allow the fluid to distribute evenly throughout the transmission, then check the level again and add fluid if necessary.
5. Always keep the fluid level between the upper and lower marks for the appropriate temperature range. A drop in the level below the lower mark can cause various malfunctions and even serious damage to the transmission.
