How many liters of transmission oil does an Aisin 6AT require?
2 Answers
The amount of oil used varies depending on the oil change method. During maintenance, there are two modes to choose from: 1. Approximately 10 liters can be replaced with a flushing machine oil change. The effect of flushing oil change is better, as it can remove impurities at the bottom and make the machine interior cleaner. 2. Gravity oil change requires about 4-6 liters. This method is similar to changing the vehicle's engine oil. Below are some additional tips: 1. It is recommended to change the transmission oil once every 60,000 kilometers. 2. If the vehicle is used frequently, the transmission oil should be changed at around 40,000 kilometers. 3. When changing the transmission oil, it is important to use the specific oil designed for the vehicle to ensure normal operation and extend the transmission's lifespan.
I remember during our last discussion about transmission fluid, many friends were asking how many liters should be added to the Aisin 6AT. Based on my own experience tinkering with cars, the capacity varies significantly between different models, generally ranging between 7 to 8 liters. For example, my Toyota Corolla with the Aisin 6AT specifies 7.5 liters in the manual, but I actually used about 7.8 liters during the change because the old fluid wasn't completely drained. I recommend checking your vehicle's manual first—it will clearly indicate the model and capacity to avoid over or underfilling. Transmission fluid is crucial; too little can cause component wear, while too much may overflow and damage seals. It's best to use Aisin's recommended OEM fluid to prevent future issues affecting driving smoothness. Don't overlook the replacement interval either—generally advised every four to five years or 80,000 kilometers to ensure the transmission's longevity.
