Checking the oil level in the FORD ATX gearbox (Escort 4)

            0

To ensure normal and long-term operation of the gearbox, it is necessary to maintain an optimal oil level. The oil level should be checked every 20,000 km of vehicle mileage.

The oil level indicator is located in the engine compartment.

Oil is added through the oil level indicator tube. Oil specification: ESP-M2C166-H. It is prohibited to mix this oil with other oils, or use any additives.

1. Warm up the oil in the gearbox to a temperature of 40–60°C. To do this, you can drive a short distance.

2. The car must be on a level horizontal surface with the parking brake applied. With the engine idling, press the brake pedal and move the gear selector lever through all positions 3 times.

3. Then set the lever to position "P" and let the engine idle for another 1 minute, then turn off the engine.

4. Remove the oil level indicator. The upper edge of the oil should be between the "MIN" and "MAX" marks on the indicator.

5. Also check the oil on the dipstick by smell and color. Black or dark brown color indicates wear of the clutches or brake band. Dark oil color and a burning smell indicate burnt linings.



6. If the oil level is below "MIN", the tightness of the gearbox and oil cooler should be checked.

7. If the torque converter is not filled with oil, it is prohibited to start the engine or tow the vehicle.
