To replace the automatic transmission oil, unscrew the drain plug located just under the gearbox. After draining, clean the magnetic part of the plug from any residues and tighten it properly.

Access the engine bay, remove the dipstick (located near the battery), and insert a funnel of appropriate size to fill the transmission with new oil. Pay particular attention to the choice of oil, adhering to the manufacturer's specifications. Once filling is complete, start the engine, engage all gears, and recheck the level.
