Automatic Transmission Fluid Drain and Refill (G2300924): Filling
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
Fill the transmission with the recommended transmission fluid until fluid flows out of the filler hole.
Refer to: SPECIFICATIONS
- Allow the transmission fluid to drain from the transmission fluid filler hole until the flow stops.
-
- Install the fluid filler plug, but only finger tight at this stage.
- Remove the container under the vehicle to avoid damage.
- Make sure that the transmission is not in the default mode, if this is the case, stop and correct the cause first and then restart the fluid level check.
-
CAUTION: Using the Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) approved diagnostic equipment, make sure the transmission temperature is between 30°C (85°F) and 50°C (122°F) before starting the automatic transmission fluid level check.
- Connect the Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) approved diagnostic equipment to the vehicle.
General Equipment: Jaguar Land Rover approved diagnostic equipment
- Start the engine and allow to idle.
- Switch off the Air Conditioning (A/C) system and other electrical components.
- Connect the Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) approved diagnostic equipment to the vehicle.
-
CAUTION: Make sure the automatic transmission fluid control system is filled with oil.
- Apply and hold the brake pedal.
- Select reverse gear and wait for 10 seconds.
- Select drive, then manual 1st gear and wait for 10 seconds.
- Select 2nd gear and wait for 10 seconds.
- Select Park (P) on the Transmission Control Switch (TCS).
-
NOTE: Make sure the torque converter is completely filled with oil.
- Raise the engine speed to 2000 rpm and hold for 30 seconds. Then return to idle speed.
-
NOTE: After completing the preparation, proceed to the automatic transmission fluid level check.
- If the transmission oil temperature is lower than 30°C. Allow the transmission to warm up with the engine idling in the P position, then proceed with the transmission fluid level check.
- If the transmission oil temperature is above 50°C, switch off the engine and allow the transmission to cool down, then restart the fluid level check.
- Switch the engine off.
-
CAUTION: Make sure when checking the automatic transmission fluid level, that this procedure is followed. Failure to do so can cause damage to the vehicle.
Check and top-up the transmission fluid level. Refer to: AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID LEVEL CHECK
-
WARNING: This step is only required for 3.0L PETROL and 3.0L DIESEL vehicles
Use a suitable tool to drain 350ml of transmission fluid from the automatic transmission filler hole.
Install the transmission fluid filler plug.
Special Tool(s): 307-452
-
CAUTION: Make sure the automatic transmission fluid fill plug is tightened to the correct specification. Failure to follow this instruction may result in damage to the transmission.
- To make sure the transmission fill plug is torqued to the correct specification. Using the special tool and torque wrench the following calculation steps must be followed.
- Step 1. Multiply 35 Nm by the effective length of the torque wrench (1).
- Step 2. Add the effective length of the special tool (2) to the effective length of the torque wrench (1).
- Step 3. Divide the total of step 1 by the total of step 2.
- Step 4. Set the torque wrench to the figure arrived at in step 3.
- Tighten the transmission fluid fill plug to the torque given by the calculation.
- Install the heatshield.
- Install and tighten the 2 bolts.
Torque : 9 Nm
- Install the transmission undershield.
- Install and tighten the 10 bolts.
Torque
M10: 60 Nm
M6: 10 Nm
