How to Pull Out the Transmission Oil Dipstick on the X-Trail?
1 Answers
The X-Trail transmission does not have an oil dipstick; it typically features an inspection window, and the fluid level is judged based on the indication in this window. As long as there is no oil leakage from the transmission, no action is required. The oil pan has a double-layered screw, and any excess oil will leak out once the transmission is sufficiently filled. If the transmission is low on oil, the following symptoms may occur: 1. Difficulty in starting, especially in lower gears. When accelerating, the engine RPM increases, but the vehicle does not move much, as if it is not in gear. 2. Overheating of the transmission due to oil starvation, which is equivalent to insufficient lubrication for oil-lubricated bearings, leading to increased friction and potential damage. 3. Jerky gear shifts, rough shifting, and unusual noises from the transmission fluid.
