  4. After checking the oil level, refill the transmission with gear oil through the filler hole.

    Recommended: 

    • SAE 70W, API GL-4
    • HK D DCTF TGO-10 (SK), SPIRAX S6 GHME 70W DCTF (H.K.SHELL), 7 DCTF HKM (S-OIL)

    Capacity: 

    1.6 - 1.7 (0.42 - 0.45 U.S.gal., 1.69 - 1.80 U.S.qt., 1.41 - 150 lmp qt)

    NOTE:
    • For the accuracy, inspect the oil level after the oil is completely drained.
    • While draining, some of the oil flows into the transmission part and the oil may be less than the specification by 0.1 - 0.15 L (0.03 - 0.04 U.S.gal., 0.10 - 0.16 U.S.qt., 0.09 - 0.13 lmp qt.)

      This is normal and additional oil injection is not required.

  5. Install the oil filler plug.

    Tightening torque: 

    58.9 - 78.5 N.m (6.0 - 8.0 kgf.m, 43.4 - 57.8 lb-ft)
