- Cars up to 7/89: oil for automatic transmissions of FORD SQM-2C9010-A specification.
- Vehicles from 8/89: Automatic transmission fluid specification FORD ESP-M2C166-H.
Examination
Drive the car for approximately 20 km so that the oil in the gearbox warms up to a temperature of at least +65°C.
Place the car on a level surface.
Let the engine idle for about one minute. Apply the handbrake and press the foot brake pedal.
Leave the engine idling and switch all operating modes from position P to position 1 three times, then move the operating mode selection lever to position P.
Open the engine compartment hood.
Remove the oil level indicator and wipe it with a lint-free cloth.
Insert the level indicator back into the gearbox until it stops and then remove it again.
Check the oil level. The oil level on the gauge should be between the MIN and MAX marks.
If necessary, slowly top up the oil level by placing a suitable funnel with a strainer in the guide tube of the indicator.
Attention: The oil level should not be below the MIN mark, as this will cause the gearbox to fail. If the oil level is above the MAX mark, the gearbox will overheat and this will cause it to become depressurized. If the level is too high, suck the oil out of the gearbox.
Note: If the oil in the automatic transmission is black and smells burnt, the transmission is faulty and should be checked at a service station.
Note: Automatic transmission oil change is not required.
