For the Chery Tiggo 8 1.6t, the transmission fluid should generally be changed every 20,000 to 40,000 kilometers. Method for changing the transmission fluid: Loosen the nut at the bottom of the transmission oil pan to allow the old transmission fluid to drain out naturally by gravity; connect the transmission to a circulation machine via pipeline interfaces, and the new transmission fluid will push out the old fluid under pressure; remove the oil pan to change the fluid. Methods to determine if the transmission fluid needs to be changed: Pull out the dipstick and smell it closely—if there is a strong sour or foul odor, it indicates the fluid has deteriorated and should be changed; take out some old fluid and rub it repeatedly between your thumb and forefinger—if you feel impurities, poor viscosity, or even a gritty sensation, it should be changed; hold the dipstick at a 45-degree angle under light to observe the fluid droplets—if you can clearly see no metal particles, the fluid is in good condition. If there are many metal particles, the fluid should be changed.
