Where can the manual transmission oil filler port be seen on the Shuaike?

The transmission oil filler port of the Shuaike is located on top of the transmission. Location of the transmission oil filler port: Find the engine compartment lock handle at the lower left side of the vehicle cabin, pull the handle to unlock the engine compartment. Push the handle at the front of the engine compartment to open the hood. Use the hydraulic rod to prop up the hood. You can then see the layout of the engine compartment; the oil filler port is located on top of the transmission. Method for adding oil to the Shuaike transmission: Remove the air filter assembly, and you will see a black cylinder (the transmission vent). Remove the cap on top. You can then add ATF fluid. Be careful when filling, as pressure inside will increase when adding through the vent. It is advisable to make a funnel out of cardboard and add the fluid slowly.
When I drove a manual transmission Shaike before, I also researched this issue. The oil filler port is located on the side of the transmission in the engine compartment, and you have to squat down to see it. This position is on the left, next to the half-shaft and clutch slave cylinder, making it somewhat hidden. The operation is quite cumbersome—you need to remove the nearby heat shield first to unscrew that plastic oil filler plug. When filling, pour the oil slowly to avoid spills; it takes about two liters of gear oil. Many beginners think to look under the chassis, but it's actually in the engine bay. Remember to turn off the engine and level the car before starting, or the oil level will be inaccurate. During regular maintenance, pay attention to the oil color—if it turns black, it's time for a change.
The transmission oil filler port of the manual transmission Nissan NV200 is located in a rather unique spot - inside the engine compartment near the windshield side. Xiao Wang from our neighborhood repair shop told me to look for a square plastic cap about the size of a coin. You'll need to open the hood and crouch down to look toward the transmission - it's hidden slightly beneath the battery. When refilling, it's recommended to use an oil filling gun, otherwise the gear oil tends to leak and dirty the engine. Don't attempt to change the oil yourself casually - last time I used the wrong oil type by mistake, which made gear shifting extremely stiff, and it took me a week to get it properly fixed.
