Where to add transmission oil for Fengshen AX7?
2 Answers
Fengshen AX7 transmission oil is added through the oil filler port on the side cover of the transmission, which is equipped with a 6-speed manual-automatic transmission. Taking the 2021 Fengshen AX7 as an example, it belongs to the compact SUV category, with body dimensions of: length 4645mm, width 1880mm, height 1670mm, wheelbase of 2715mm, fuel tank capacity of 61 liters, and curb weight of 1542kg. The 2021 Fengshen AX7 features a MacPherson independent front suspension and a double-wishbone independent rear suspension. It is powered by a 1.5L turbocharged engine with a maximum horsepower of 150PS, maximum power of 110kW, maximum torque of 230Nm, paired with a 6-speed manual transmission.
For the location of adding transmission fluid for the Fengshen AX7, I remember that on my own vehicle, the filler hole is usually on the transmission housing, specifically at the lower part of the engine bay or the side of the chassis. You need to lift the car or use ramps to elevate it, and you'll see a plastic plug or a metal hole. Be careful during the operation to avoid spilling the fluid or adding it to the wrong location. Transmission fluid is crucial as it lubricates the gears to ensure smooth shifting. If added incorrectly, it can lead to long-term overheating and premature wear of the transmission. I usually refer to the owner's manual to find the exact spot, as the location may vary slightly for different model years. For example, the 2019 model might have it near the right-side drive shaft. If you're doing it yourself, prepare a funnel and the correct fluid, but I recommend going to a 4S shop for peace of mind, as professional tools and experience can prevent leaks. Regular fluid changes can save you from major repair costs, typically checking every 50,000 kilometers to maintain stable vehicle performance. After adding, don't forget to start the engine to circulate the fluid and then recheck the fluid level to ensure it's appropriate.
