Where is the transmission oil dipstick of the Hongqi H7?
1 Answers
The transmission oil dipstick of the Hongqi H7 is located on the transmission. The oil level of the transmission fluid may fluctuate under different operating conditions. If the automatic transmission is in a hot state (e.g., after driving at low speed for more than 5 minutes, the hydraulic oil temperature has reached 70°C to 80°C), the oil level should be near the upper limit on the dipstick. Below is the method for checking the transmission fluid: 1. Park the car on a level surface and firmly engage the parking brake. 2. Let the engine idle for more than one minute. 3. Depress the brake pedal and move the gear selector to reverse (P), drive (D), and low gears (S, L, or 2, 1), staying in each gear for a few seconds to allow the torque converter and all shift actuators to fill with hydraulic oil. Finally, move the gear selector back to the park (P) position. 4. Pull out the automatic transmission dipstick, insert the cleaned dipstick back into the filler tube, then pull it out again to check the oil level on the dipstick. 5. If the oil level is between the maximum and minimum marks, the oil level is correct. If it is below the minimum mark, add transmission fluid. If it is above the maximum mark, the transmission has too much oil, and some should be drained appropriately.
