Oil change in manual transmission (120,000 km) (Nissan Sunny B13)

1. It is advisable to change the oil immediately after the trip so that the engine and gearbox are warmed up to operating temperature.

2. Park the car on a level surface, set the handbrake and turn off the ignition. To increase the working area, raise the front of the car and support it on stands. Keep in mind that you will need to lower the car to get an accurate reading when checking the oil level.

3. Wipe the inspection hole plug (this hole is also intended for filling oil), which is located in the front part of the gearbox housing. Unscrew the plug and wipe.

4. Place a tray under the drain plug, which is located on the left side of the gearbox differential housing.

5. Drain the oil into the pan, taking care not to burn yourself. Clean the drain plugs and the inspection plugs thoroughly, removing any metal particles from the magnetic inserts.

6. After the oil has drained, clean the threads on the plugs and in the crankcase, tighten the drain plug to the specified torque. If the car was raised, lower it onto the wheels.

7. Filling the gearbox is a rather labor-intensive operation. Before checking the level, you need to wait a long time for the oil to drain completely. Keep in mind that when checking the oil level in the gearbox, the car must be on a flat, level surface.

8. Fill the gearbox with oil of the required brand and in the required quantity, then check the level (see subsection 2.2.8). If the gearbox is filled with the standard amount of oil, and when checking the level, a lot of oil flows out, then tighten the plug of the inspection hole and make a short trip so that the oil is evenly distributed throughout the internal space of the crankcase and gearbox parts. Returning to the previous place, check the level again.

9. If the level is correct, tighten the plug to the specified torque.
