To change the oil in the automatic gearbox, you need to lift the car (preferably with a ramp; otherwise, use jacks and axle stands, ensuring the vehicle is secure). Position a large container under the gearbox and remove the lower bolt that acts as a plug for the gearbox, as clearly shown in the video.

We mentioned a large container because there will be about 7 litres of oil in the automatic gearbox. In the video, you can also see the recommended oil container.

Fill the gearbox with this oil and this quantity. Cheers!
