1 Answers
When changing the transmission oil for a Lavida 1.6 manual transmission, if using the manual oil change method (gravity drain), approximately 4 to 6 liters are required; if using an oil change machine, around 9 to 12 liters are needed. The methods for changing transmission oil are as follows: Unscrew the drain plug at the bottom of the transmission to drain the old oil, then refill with new oil. Remove the transmission oil pan directly to drain and refill the oil: This method is more thorough than the previous one, as it removes impurities from the bottom of the oil pan. Use a circulation machine to change automatic transmission oil: A smart circulation machine can perform a dynamic oil change, filtering and cleaning sludge and impurities inside the automatic transmission. Different vehicle models have different replacement cycles. Below are the recommended transmission oil change intervals: Manual transmission: Manual transmission oil is generally recommended to be changed every three years or approximately every 100,000 kilometers. Automatic transmission: Automatic transmission oil is generally recommended to be changed every two years or approximately every 40,000 kilometers. Continuously variable transmission (CVT): CVT transmission oil is generally recommended to be changed every two years or approximately every 60,000 kilometers.
