Where is the transmission oil filler port of the Damai X5?

When the car is lifted, you can see a drain port at the bottom of the transmission. Unscrewing the bolt allows the oil to be drained. There is also a filler port on the side of the transmission, and the bolt is the same as the drain port. The function of the transmission: The transmission is a mechanism used to change the speed and torque from the engine. It can fix or change the gear ratio between the output shaft and the input shaft, also known as the gearbox. Changing the transmission ratio meets the traction needs under different driving conditions, allowing the engine to operate as much as possible under favorable conditions and meeting the required driving speeds. It enables a wide range of changes in the vehicle's driving speed and the torque on the driving wheels. Due to varying driving conditions, the vehicle's speed and driving torque need to be adjustable over a wide range. Classification of vehicle transmissions: They are divided into manual and automatic types. Manual transmissions mainly consist of gears and shafts, achieving speed and torque changes through different gear combinations. Automatic transmissions (AT) consist of a torque converter, planetary gears, and a hydraulic control system, achieving speed and torque changes through hydraulic transmission and gear combinations.
The transmission oil filler port of the Damai X5 is generally located on the top or side of the transmission housing within the engine compartment. After opening the hood, carefully look for a small plastic plug or metal bolt-shaped filler port near the transmission, usually positioned at the bottom on the driver’s side. Based on my experience, manual transmission models may have the filler port on the side of the transmission, while the AMT automatic version might place it closer to the engine connection. Before proceeding, ensure the car is parked on level ground and the engine is cool, then use the correct wrench to loosen the plug. If you can’t locate it, refer to Chapter 3 (Maintenance) of the user manual or take a photo to confirm with a 4S dealership to avoid incorrect oil levels damaging internal transmission components. Annual oil level checks can help prevent transmission failures.
