Where is the transmission oil filler port on the Haima M6?

The transmission oil filler port is located on the transmission oil pan. There is a yellow ring in the upper left corner of the engine. Below the yellow ring is a nut. Hold this ring and unscrew it to add transmission oil. Transmission oil replacement cycle: The oil change interval is generally two years or 40,000-60,000 kilometers. During normal use, the working temperature of transmission oil is usually around 120 degrees Celsius, so the quality requirements for the oil are very high, and it must also be kept clean. It is usually difficult to determine whether the oil needs to be changed by visual inspection or touch. However, after long-term use, the oil will accumulate a large amount of impurities. If the oil is not replaced in time, these impurities will eventually wear out the engine and shorten the lifespan of the vehicle. Transmission oil replacement method: The better oil change method is dynamic oil replacement, which uses a dedicated transmission cleaning device. During the operation of the transmission, the old oil is fully circulated and discharged, and then new transmission oil is added, achieving an oil change rate of over 90% and ensuring a good oil change effect. Function of transmission oil: Transmission oil is an oil product that keeps the gear system clean, lubricates and extends the life of the transmission device, and provides effective lubrication even at low temperatures. It reduces oil loss under harsh operating conditions. Depending on the structure of the transmission, transmission oil is divided into automatic transmission oil and manual transmission oil.
I often maintain my car by myself. For the Haima M6, the transmission fluid filler port is usually located towards the rear of the engine bay, on the top or side of the transmission housing, where there's a black or silver plug. You'll need a wrench to unscrew it for refilling. Before operating, remember to park the car on level ground, turn off the engine, and wait for it to cool down a bit—it's safer that way. When I changed the oil myself, I found the location a bit tricky, especially under the engine. It's best to use a flashlight to get a clear view and avoid adding fluid to the wrong place, such as mistakenly filling the brake fluid or coolant port. Also, it's recommended to use the oil type specified by the manufacturer, like ATF SP-IV, and avoid using cheap alternatives to prevent damaging the transmission. After changing the oil, check the fluid level—start the car, take it for a short drive, and then verify the fluid level on the dipstick is correct.
