Operation: How to top up the oil in the automatic transmission of the BMW 5 series

Generally, the oil of the automatic gearbox must be changed every 60,000 kilometers, also replacing the relative filter which is integrated in the sump of the gearbox; This maintenance should be carried out by qualified personnel but above all in possession of the appropriate equipment known as a washing machine: in reality it is a pump that introduces clean oil by extracting the exhausted one; this operation ensures that the complete oil change is carried out by correctly emptying the converter as well; the level is reached when the oil begins to flow out of the filler cap.

Handbrake adjustment on Ford Ecosport

First remove the plastic profile at the base of the gear lever. To do this, slightly widen the side edges and carefully lift it to release it. There is no need to remove it completely, just move it forward to avoid bother. Now remove the plastic center console around the handbrake by first working from the rear to release it and lifting it until the brake lever passes. Also in this case it is not necessary to remove it completely but, paying attention to the connected cables, it can be stowed in front of the passenger seat. At this point we notice that at the base of the handbrake lever, on the front, we find a nut. By acting on it, with a 10 wrench, we can adjust the brake force, increasing it by turning the nut clockwise, or decreasing it by turning it counterclockwise. Once adjusted, the center console can be repositioned first, pressing lightly to engage it, and then the profile of the gearbox base.
