Where to Check the Transmission Fluid Level in MG6?
2 Answers
Open the engine hood, reach down toward the transmission area from above. There is a plastic cap that can be pulled out, located approximately at the upper right corner of the engine compartment - you can feel it by probing downward. Function of transmission fluid: The primary functions of transmission fluid are to keep the gearshift system clean, and to lubricate the transmission components for extended lifespan. Transmission fluid replacement: Currently, there are three mainstream methods for automatic transmission fluid replacement. The first method is similar to an oil change, draining the fluid by loosening the transmission drain plug and then refilling. The second involves removing the oil pan directly for drainage and refill. The third method uses a more advanced flushing machine for automatic transmission fluid replacement.
I just changed the transmission oil for my MG6 myself. For this car, you need some tools to check the oil level—you have to remove the air filter box to access the transmission dipstick hole. First, warm up the car to around 60°C, then turn it off and park on level ground. For manual transmissions, unscrew the side oil level screw and wait until the excess oil stops dripping. Automatic transmissions are trickier—some models don’t have a traditional dipstick, so you need to unscrew the overflow tube on the oil pan and monitor the overflow while adding new oil. It’s best to prepare a hose and measuring cup to avoid oil splashing everywhere. If you’re unsure, just head to the dealership—they have specialized pressure-filling equipment to get it done in one go.
