Previously, we wrote about how to approach the moment and what to pay attention to. In this article we will talk in detail about how to carry out a replacement on a mechanical and automatic transmission gear shift on Renault Megane.

Changing the oil on a Renault Megane 2 manual gearbox

It is worth noting that changing the oil in a manual gearbox will be much easier than on an automatic counterpart, and transmission oil it will take much less, but more on that later.

Tools

Before you start changing the oil, you need to prepare workplace and all the necessary tools, namely:

• Lift or pit.
• Screwdriver for unscrewing plugs 8.
• About 3 liters of gear oil (2.8 liters for gasoline engine, with a volume of 1.6 liters, and 2.5 liters - for a diesel analogue with a volume of 1.5 liters).
• A long hose with a funnel or a special syringe.
• Copper gasket for drain plug (art. no.) 7703062062.
• A container for used oil with a volume of at least 3 liters.
• Pliers.

Step by step procedure

Please note that the location of these plugs is on various models may vary.

First– using a hose and a watering can, fill the oil directly from the engine side.

Second– using a syringe, fill in oil from the side of the removed wheel.

Fill the oil until its level is equal to the filling hole.

If overall volume your crankcase 2.5 liter, when filling it will fit about 2.3 – 2.4 liters of oil.

1. Next we twist drain plug back all the way.
2. We fasten the wheel and remove the wheel chocks.
3. Additionally, we check all possible places for leaks and start the car.
4. Checking freewheel gear knobs.

Thanks to such simple and clear actions, the oil in manual box gear shift on Renault Megane can be replaced within 1.5 hours.

Changing the oil in the Renault Megane 2 automatic gearbox

In order to change the oil in the automatic transmission of a Renault Megane 2 with your own hands, you will need a lot of patience and time. Since the total volume is about 6 liters of total fluid, replacement should be carried out in three stages.

The disadvantage of such a gearbox is that it does not have probes and various indicators.

To carry out all the work we will need:

• 9 liters of gear oil.
• Driver for 8.
• Container for old oil.
• Hose with funnel for filling new oil.

Step by step procedure

If the oil level is equal to or close to this value, then the total amount is normal, and the integrity of the crankcase and housing is fine.

Also pay close attention to the quality, color and smell of this waste transmission fluid. If you smell a burnt smell from it, the presence of elements of plastic, metal or various grains - this will only mean one thing: the gearbox requires immediate attention. major renovation. And even the fact that the transmission does not show any complaints about its operation is not important.

1. Next, tighten the plug with drain hole and move on to adding oil.
2. Using a hose or syringe, pour the drained 3 liters of oil + 100-200 grams drained before into the “box”.

Then we tighten this plug and start the car.

Thus, it will be necessary to drive 15-20 kilometers and do all the work again with 1 By 7 paragraph.

After this work has been done, the replacement operation is not completed.

1. Next, when you have drained 3 liters of oil for the second time, screw back the level tube that was previously unscrewed inside.
2. After this, add new oil until it flows from the filler neck.
3. Then we tighten all the elements, not forgetting to put on the copper gaskets and check everything for leaks.
4. We start the engine and let the engine and transmission warm up.

Thus, the work on changing the oil in the transmission can be considered completed.

Results

As you can see for yourself, despite the seemingly visible inconveniences, there are no real difficulties in changing the oil on an automatic gearbox in a Renault Megane. You will need a little patience and strict adherence to our instructions.

Reference!

Such work on repeated replacement of transmission fluid in a Renault Megane automatic transmission is only due to the fact that many wear products and “dirt” particles can only go away after several procedures. Therefore, if you have the opportunity, it is easiest to replace transmission fluid at special stations Maintenance using special devices that, under the influence of pressure, “press out” the old fluid to replace the new one.

• hex key with a diameter of 8 mm;
• drainage vessel;
• hose (tube) through which we will drain our oil.

Step-by-step replacement instructions

1. Change the selector handle when replacing the lubricant to the “P” position. Thus, the design of our drain plugs will change. Now you need to drain everything.
2. To do this, we drive the car onto a lift; if there is no lift, we drive the car into the pit.
3. It is necessary to remove the Renault engine protection from the oil pan.
4. Remove the assembly from the plug and tube.
5. Let our oil drain.
6. Take our drain tube and insert it. To do this, tighten the plug to 25 Nm, and the drain pipe to 35 Nm - this is if you have an old design 2. New design somewhat differently - the drain tube is tightened to 90 N m, and the control plug to 35 N m.
7. If the car was on a lift, find a platform. Place a car on it.
8. Now you need to discard the terminals from the battery and immediately remove the negative one.
9. Take the ECU wires ( The electronic unit controls) and disconnect the pads from them.
10. Remove the bolts that secure the battery shelf.
11. We remove the shelf under our ECU bracket and battery.
12. Now, when controlling the automatic transmission pneumatic drive, turn it in the other direction. solenoid valve.
13. Remove the accelerator cable.
14. We disconnect the cable from the lever on the gearbox itself. Squeeze its tip, pull the lock and lift the top of the accelerator drive cable.
15. Select fresh oil(3.5 l) and fill the automatic transmission.
16. We connect the wires back to the battery terminals.
17. Let your Megane 2 idle and start our engine.
18. We connect the diagnostic device.
19. You need to monitor the temperature in the box. If it reaches 60 °C ±1, it is worth unscrewing the plug located on the hole.
20. We install the vessel if the liquid does not flow or less than 0.1 liter has leaked out. Let the engine stop.
21. Wait until the temperature in the gearbox drops to 50 °C, first add 0.5 liters. Idle and turn on the engine. Now connect the CLIP again. Unscrew the plug if the temperature reaches 60 °C ±1.
22. Repeat several times until the container is filled with 0.1 liter. And then tighten the plug of the hole. To do this, tighten it (35 N m).

How to change the oil in a Renault Sandero automatic transmission

Like any hydraulic “automatic” gearbox DP0 (AL4), it is necessary and recommended to replace the transmission fluid, how to do it correctly?

First you need to have everything you need “at hand”, namely:

• Transmission fluid with suitable clearance, for example Mobil ATF LT 71141;
• Necessary tool;
• Diagnostic tool (to check ATF temperature).

To replace the transmission fluid in the DP0 (AL4) gearbox, you must:

• unscrew the drain plug and wait until the oil is completely drained;
• Then it is necessary to tighten the drain plug back (tightening torque 2.4 DNm).

If the oil flows out in a thin stream and then starts dripping, then the level is correct!

If when changing the oil you see heavy fogging automatic transmission housing, then it’s time to replace the seals, this common problem boxes DP0

Is it necessary to change the oil in an automatic transmission?

You've probably heard of the term "maintenance-free automatic transmission." Very often, this is the basis for many services that do not know how/do not want to change the oil in the transmission. In fact, according to all international standards and regulations, changing the automatic transmission oil (ATF) and filter is required every 50,000-60,000 km. In this case, the car owner asks himself the question: “What kind of replacement do I need? Partial or complete?”

Partial or complete automatic transmission oil change?

Partial replacement (ATF update) is carried out without flushing the automatic transmission. To carry out such work, on average, 4-5 liters and half an hour of time are required. The new oil is mixed with the old, and the operation of the box becomes smoother. Many car enthusiasts believe that it is better to carry out an exclusively complete ATF replacement, with flushing the system and displacing old fluid. We do not pursue the goal of earning as much as possible from our clients, but we warn about possible problems, and we recommend performing ONLY partial replacement in some cases.

For example, if the car’s mileage is more than 100,000 km, and the oil in the box has never been changed, then such a replacement can negatively affect the operation of the automatic transmission, even full exit out of service. In cars with a significant mileage, this is due to the fact that when completely replacing the transmission fluid with flushing the automatic transmission, various deposits are washed out throughout the entire system, which clog the oil channels, and without normal cooling, the box dies quite quickly. In this case, to maximize the replacement of old oil, 2-3 partial changes should be made at intervals of 200-300 km. This will certainly not be comparable to a complete ATF replacement, but the percentage of fresh fluid will be 70-75%.

In what cases is a complete ATF replacement carried out?

All of the above problems do not concern car owners who every 50,000-60,000 km. carried out regulatory replacement transmission oils. In this case, a complete oil change in the automatic transmission allows the box to serve faithfully and increases its service life by 150-200%.

ATF(Automatic Transmission Fluid) - liquid oilFor automatic transmission, which due to high fluidity is usuallycalled liquid.

Over time, it collects waste products. Manufacturer of oil for automatic transmissions Renault - company ELF, writes on its official website that change automatic transmission oil necessary every 25,000 - 50,000 km (or every 2 years). On the ATF canisters themselves it is indicated shelf life 5 years.

Regulationscar maintenanceRenault in Russia does not contain automatic transmission fluid replacement.

However, in 30% of cases causebreakdowns automatic boxesRenault DP0 and DP2 is hydraulic unit failureAutomatic transmission.

The point is that when untimely replacement oil in a Renault automatic transmission, the transmission fluid changes its properties - it oxidizes and loses viscosity, and also accumulates metal powder and shavings from rubbing parts. This leads to clogging and coking oil channels automatic transmission valve body.

Corporation Renault-Nissan in Russia for cars Nissan has included in the regulations changing the automatic transmission oil every 60,000 km or 4 yearsoperation. Earnestly we recommend brand ownersRenaultadhere to the same regulations and produce changing the oil in the automatic transmission every 50,000 - 70,000 km.

There are two types of maintenance for Renault automatic transmissions - partial and complete automatic transmission oil changes. At the Renault Repair technical center:

• partial oil change in automatic transmission Renault - price 900 rubles
• complete hardware oil change in automatic transmission Renault - price 3000 rubles

Partial replacementOil in a Renault automatic transmission involves natural drainage of the fluid through the drain plug of the oil pan. Typically, about40% used oil.

Clean transmission fluid is poured on top, then it is mixed in the box with dirty fluid. Partial oil change in a Renault automatic transmission necessary repeat 3-5 times, every 150 - 200 kilometersmileage.

Until clear liquid drains out. Thus, in the box it is possible to replace about 75% oils This type of replacement is not regulated by car manufacturers Renault, since it does not allow completely replacing the fluid in an automatic transmission.

Partial replacementautomatic transmission fluid RenaultWe recommend doing this when driving a car without full hardware ATF replacement more than 100,000 km. At the Renault Repair technical center price partial replacement Renault automatic transmission oils - 900 rub..

Complete replacementRenault automatic transmission oil may behardware only. The car assembly mechanic connects the unit, selects the car model from the computer database, and then the volume of fluid to be replaced is automatically determined.

Replacement occurs by substitution method. Suppressed dirty oil and is replaced by the same amount of pure, while the liquids do not mix. The operator sees on the indicator ATF color which is poured and which is drained. When the color is compared, the device turns off.

So that during complete replacement ATF washed dirt did not get into the valve body; before replacing, it is necessary to flush the automatic transmission. We do this with the help of professionalflushing agent from famous German manufacturer oilsLiqui Moly.

It removes deposits that have formed on parts and in hydraulic system, and also allows you to remove insoluble contaminants from the box.Complete replacementliquids in Renault automatic transmission ismore economical- uses less oil and achieves maximum effect at once.

At the Renault Repair technical center cost of automatic full replacement Renault automatic transmission oil - 3,000 rubles

There are several types of ATF for different automatic transmissions. On some Renault models, along with replacing the fluid, it is necessary to change the filter, as well as replace the automatic transmission pan gasket. All these Consumables are supported at the Renault Repair warehouse.

Let's consider tips, as well as the sequence of work for replacing transmission fluid in an automatic transmission Renault car Megane second generation. Today this is a very popular procedure, especially considering that this model is no longer produced, and many owners prefer to carry out repairs themselves.

You should choose only original lubricant or similar approved options by Renault. And yet, the most optimal and reliable option would be Elf Renault Matic D3 SYN Dexron III. A 6 liter canister will be enough.

A set of necessary tools

• 8 mm hexagon
• Vessel for draining used oil
• Tube (hose) that will be needed to drain the oil into the above vessel

Sequence of work

1. Drive the car onto an overpass or inspection hole. IN as a last resort, a lift will do. Immediately prepare a pan to drain the old oil and place it in the appropriate place under the bottom of the car
2. Move the Renault Megane 2 automatic transmission selector to position P. After this, the design of the drain plugs will change, and you can begin to drain the old oil. If necessary, first remove the engine protection, if equipped.
3. Remove the plug and wait for the oil to drain
4. Insert the drain plug. To do this, tighten the plug to 25*m, and the drain plug to 35*m. Please note that these parameters are relevant for pre-restyling versions of the Renault Megane 2. For modernized cars, the parameters are as follows: 90 N*m and 35 N*m, respectively.
5. Remove the car from inspection hole, place it on a level surface
6. We work with the battery: we discard all the terminals from it, including the negative terminal
7. Disconnect the ECU drive from the block
8. Remove the screws that hold the battery shelf in place.
9. We remove the shelf, which is located under the battery and ECU bracket
10. Provide access to the automatic transmission pneumatic drive control, find the solenoid valve there. You need to turn it the other way
11. Make sure the accelerator cable is retracted
12. There is a cable from the lever on the gearbox itself; it must be disconnected. To do this, we do the following: squeeze the tip of the lever and pull the latch, after which we lift up the cable coming from the accelerator drive
13. Let's start pouring oil into the gearbox: prepare 3.5 liters of fluid and pour it into a special hole
14. After adding oil, make sure that all wires are connected to the battery terminals
15. Start the engine and let it run for Idling during some time
16. Connect a diagnostic tool to monitor the temperature in the box. According to generally accepted standards, you should unscrew the drain plug if the temperature reaches 60 degrees.
17. Check the underbody of the car for leaks. You may have to substitute the vessel and wait a little more time. If necessary, tighten all screw fasteners better. When the leaks are eliminated, the engine can be turned off.
18. Measure the temperature in the gearbox again. It is important that it drops to 50 degrees. If it is higher, you need to wait until it cools down.
19. Start the engine again and connect the diagnostic tool. If the temperature reaches 60 degrees, you need to unscrew the plug. Carry out these procedures until the leaks are eliminated and the oil container is filled to 0.1 liters. Then screw the plug back into place.
