How to Change the Transmission Oil for Geely Vision X3?
2 Answers
The steps to change the transmission oil for Geely Vision X3 are as follows: 1. First, lift the car and place a large container underneath to catch the used oil. 2. Use an appropriate screwdriver to remove the inner and outer shells of the transmission. Some transmission oil will flow out at this point, so be careful to avoid it. After a few minutes, when most of the oil has drained, remove the last oil pan, making sure to support it carefully by hand as there will still be a significant amount of used oil. 3. Upon removal, you will notice residue at the bottom of the oil pan. Carefully remove the transmission oil filter, at which point you can clearly see the solenoid valve used for gear shifting control. 4. Remove the oil pan gasket and clean the surrounding residue. If the gaps are difficult to clean, use tools. Over time, the rubber on the gasket may stick to the machine edges, making it hard to remove. Use a small scraper and spray some carburetor cleaner to make the process easier and more thorough. Wipe all cleaned transmission oil filter components with cotton cloth and then reinstall them one by one.
Last year, I changed the transmission fluid for my Geely Vision X3 by myself, and the whole process took about an hour. First, park the car on a flat surface, engage the handbrake, and place a triangular warning sign. Then, use a jack to lift the front wheels about 15 cm off the ground, and add jack stands to ensure stability and safety. Locate the drain bolt at the bottom of the transmission, usually a large nut on the metal casing near the inner side of the front wheels. Use a wrench to loosen the drain bolt and prepare an oil pan to catch the old fluid, letting it drain completely. At the same time, check if the oil seal and gasket are intact; replace them if damaged. After the old fluid has fully drained, screw the bolt back in. Then, locate the fill hole on the side of the transmission and use a funnel to slowly pour in the new fluid, making sure it matches the original factory specifications. After filling, start the engine and let it idle for a few minutes to test if the gear shifts smoothly, and check the dipstick to ensure the fluid level is moderate. The tools needed include a jack, a wrench set, new transmission fluid, and gloves—these everyday items are recommended to be purchased online for affordability. After completion, remember to dispose of the old fluid properly for environmental protection. Don’t rush to save money during the process; if you’re not confident, it’s better to seek help from a professional shop—safety first.
