Place the vehicle on a level surface.
The manual control lever must be in the "P" position.
The engine should run at idle speed.
Remove the dipstick and wipe it clean so that no dirt remains.
Insert the dipstick back into place, press it in until it stops, and pull it out again.
A trace of oil should be visible on the dipstick, located at the level of the "MAX" sign (Fig. 3.45).
If necessary, bring the level up to the norm by pouring oil through the tube, which is the guide of the oil dipstick. The automatic transmission should contain FORD ESP - M2C166 - H oil. The oil in the gearbox is replaced after 40,000 km of vehicle mileage.
When checking the oil level, it is necessary to check its condition.
Under normal conditions, the oil should be clean. Dark oil color means that the coupling (clutch) is "burned". In this case, the gearbox should be replaced.
If there are foreign bodies in the oil, such as metal filings, the gearbox should also be removed and replaced.
And if the oil is thick and sticky, then in addition to the automatic transmission, you need to replace the oil radiator, as well as the oil lines connected to it.
