Where is the transmission oil filler port on the Dongfeng Peugeot 308?
2 Answers
For the Dongfeng Peugeot 308 manual transmission, the oil filler port is located at the top center of the transmission. There is a round screw in the middle position that can be unscrewed. The manual transmission mainly consists of gears and shafts, achieving speed and torque variation through different gear combinations. The method for changing transmission oil in the Peugeot 308 is as follows: 1. Lift the vehicle and use an appropriate screwdriver to remove the inner and outer transmission covers. 3. Remove the transmission oil filter. 4. Take off the oil pan gasket and clean surrounding contaminants. 5. Replace with a new filter and oil gasket. 6. Wipe the surfaces of replaced components clean and reinstall the cleaned rear cover. 7. Add the manufacturer-recommended oil.
I've been driving a Peugeot 308 for many years. The transmission oil filler port is usually located under the chassis near the front wheels, requiring the vehicle to be lifted to access the small cap. DIY operation is troublesome, so I recommend visiting a professional repair shop: they'll use a jack to elevate the car, remove the protective cover, and insert an oil pipe to fill with standard transmission fluid. Don't skimp on regular maintenance - change the oil every two years or 50,000 km. Otherwise, gear wear may cause rough shifting or even total transmission failure. Always check for leaks after refilling and clean surrounding areas to prevent dust contamination. Regular maintenance saves big money in the long run - safety first, never cut corners with DIY attempts. I learned this lesson the hard way after negligence cost me over a thousand dollars in repairs last time.
