What is the method for changing the transmission oil of the Geely Vision X3?
3 Answers
Geely Vision X3's transmission oil can be changed using two methods: the gravity drain method and the circulation method. The functions of transmission oil are: 1. Keeping the shifting system clean; 2. Lubricating the transmission components. Taking the 2020 Geely Vision X3 as an example, it is a compact SUV with body dimensions of: length 4005mm, width 1760mm, height 1575mm, a wheelbase of 2480mm, and a curb weight of 1180kg. The 2020 Geely Vision X3 is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 109PS, a maximum torque of 142Nm, and a maximum power of 80kW.
Last time I changed the transmission fluid for my Geely Vision X3, and it was quite an interesting experience. The method was to first let the car run for a while to warm up, then turn it off and use a jack to lift the car to a safe height, wearing gloves and placing an oil pan underneath. Next, loosen the drain plug to let the old fluid flow out completely, which takes about 15 minutes. Check the filter screen and clean it if there’s any debris. Then tighten the plug, use a funnel to add new fluid—make sure to buy the model recommended by Geely, the manual specifies ATF type. After adding, start the car and drive it a bit to check if the fluid level is in the middle of the dipstick—never overfill or underfill. Regular changes can prevent transmission aging and make driving smoother, usually every 40,000-50,000 kilometers.
As a seasoned driver with years of experience, I believe transmission fluid changes shouldn't be taken lightly. For the Geely Vision X3, the basic procedure involves lifting the vehicle, draining the old fluid, and adding new fluid—but the details matter: the fluid temperature should be moderate, as overly thick fluid won't drain completely; be careful not to damage the oil pan bolts; and the new fluid quantity must be precise, as significant deviations can harm the transmission. I recommend first checking the owner's manual to confirm the fluid level. If you lack experience, it's best to leave it to a reputable repair shop for peace of mind and safety. Regularly paying attention to fluid change intervals can extend your vehicle's lifespan.
