Automatic transmission fluid replacement (60,000 km) (Nissan Sunny B13)

1. Take a short drive to warm the fluid to operating temperature.

2. Park the car on a level surface, set the handbrake and turn off the ignition. To increase the working space, raise the front of the car and place it on stands.

3. Remove the dipstick and place a container of suitable volume under the transmission.

4. Loosen the drain plug in the transmission pan and drain the fluid into a container, taking care not to burn yourself. Clean the drain plug thoroughly, removing any metal particles from the magnetic inserts. The plug gasket must be replaced after it has been loosened.

5. After the fluid has drained, clean the threads on the plugs and in the transmission pan, tighten the drain plug to the specified torque. Lower the car.

6. Pour the fluid through the level gauge pipe in small portions, inserting a funnel with a thin metal mesh. Before checking the level, you need to wait a long time for the fluid to drain completely. Keep in mind that when checking the transmission fluid level, the car must be on a flat, level surface.

7. Once the fluid level has reached the MAX mark on the dipstick, insert the dipstick into the pipe and start the engine. After a few minutes of idling, stop the engine and check the fluid level again. Top up if necessary.

8. Drive the transmission for a short period of time to distribute the fluid evenly throughout the transmission, then check the level again (see subsection 2.2.6).
