How often should the K2 transmission fluid be changed?
1 Answers
It is recommended to change the transmission fluid every two years or 40,000 kilometers. Below is a detailed guide for transmission fluid replacement: 1. First, lift the vehicle and place a large container underneath to catch the used fluid. Use an appropriate screwdriver to remove the inner and outer transmission covers, being cautious as some transmission fluid may leak out. 2. After a few minutes, when most of the fluid has drained, carefully remove the last oil pan, supporting it by hand as it may still contain a significant amount of used fluid. 3. Carefully remove the transmission fluid filter, exposing the solenoid valves that control gear shifting. 4. Remove the oil pan gasket and clean any surrounding residue. If stubborn grime remains in the crevices, use specialized tools. Over time, rubber from the gasket may adhere to the machine edges, requiring a scraper for removal. Spraying some carburetor cleaner can ease the process and ensure thorough cleaning. 5. Wipe all cleaned transmission fluid filtration components with cotton cloth before reinstalling them. Note: Filters are typically single-use, so always replace them along with the fluid and gasket. 6. Ensure all replacement parts are dry and free of oil or water stains to prevent leaks. Reassemble the cleaned oil pan and new gasket, ensuring a perfect seal. Clean the filter housing thoroughly before reinstalling - first secure two diagonal bolts before fully tightening all fasteners.
