On various automotive forums you can find many recommendations on how to do this correctly. But, there is a service manual that describes what needs to be done and in what order. Of course, it is in French, which had to be translated for writing this article.

Video of replacing and checking the oil level in an automatic transmission on a Renault Logan, here is a DP0 automatic transmission, on a Duster DP8, the process is absolutely identical:

Several ways to check the oil level in a Renault Duster automatic transmission

There are several ways to check how much oil is left in a Renault Duster automatic transmission. Let's consider everything possible options control and inspection.

Option 1. The most in a simple way is the control and measuring hole. Since Renault Duster does not have a level dipstick lubricating fluid in an automatic transmission, you will have to tinker a little.

So, let's consider the sequence of actions:

The next way to check the amount of oil in the automatic transmission is to completely drain the oil. Of course, the method is difficult, but at the same time you can replace the lubricant in the system.

Reasons to check the oil level

There are not many reasons why you need to check the automatic transmission oil in Renault Duster, but it is advisable to know them so that, if necessary, you need to add lubricant. As you know, automatic transmission oil is intended for the entire life of the car, but there are times when it needs to be topped up.

So, let's look at the main reasons for adding lubricant to an automatic transmission:

• Damage to the automatic transmission oil cooler due to an accident, collision or others that could cause loss of lubricant in the system.
• Oil leakage, which resulted in gasket breakdown and failure of other sealing elements.
• Not fully tightening the drain plug, which caused loss of automatic transmission lubricant.

All these factors can affect the oil level in a Renault Duster automatic transmission.

conclusions

The simplest and effective way Check the oil level by removing and checking through the rear transmission plug. The level is determined by the lower gap, and if you unscrew it, you can add oil to required quantity, and the remainder will flow out.

And the manual transmission on a Renault Duster car should not be changed throughout the entire life of the car.

Required:

1. Syringe for filling.
2. Container for used oil.
3. Square for removing plugs.
4. Oil.

Replacement process

1. The car must be driven into a pit and the engine protection must be removed.
2. Unscrew the plug on the hole intended for checking the oil level in the box.

When might it be necessary to change the gearbox oil?

If you need to carry out certain work on the machine, for example, replace the drive oil seal, then you will need to drain the oil from the box. Also when long-term operation car in harsh conditions or at high mileage, you will also need to replace the transmission fluid.

Although the regulations say that the oil is endless, this is how it looks after a mileage of 45,000 km

The car can be equipped with a 4-speed gearbox automatic transmission and 5- or 6-speed manual. Consider the process of changing the oil on the manual transmission version.

Change of oil, coolant and lubrication of components and assemblies is a standard procedure for any car. This also applies Renault car Duster . It is important to choose the right material that will have a high-quality composition. Execute this procedure can be done in two ways:

• Contact specialists;
• On one's own.

Such a replacement is a simple but responsible process. Its implementation requires care and precision. Mistakes made will negatively impact your work vehicle and will cause it to break at the most inopportune moment. When choosing a liquid, it is necessary to take into account various points. The main ones include the mileage of the car, wear of spare parts, the service life of the oil after the previous change, etc. In addition, it is important to correctly calculate the required amount.

As practice shows, saving in this matter is not always appropriate. Complete replacement motor oil It's better to leave it to specialists. Lubricants in in this case won't be enough. It is also worth contacting him if obvious breakdowns, leaks and other phenomena unusual for the car are visible. Otherwise, the situation will only get worse. To fix it will require time, effort and money to purchase new spare parts.

If you decide to change the fluid yourself, the information below will certainly come in handy. We offer the name of the liquid, place of application and volume for each system.

A manual gearbox is a very complex component in a modern car. The box on the Renaul Duster is no exception. Changing the oil in a Renault Duster manual transmission is a very responsible and mandatory procedure. It's time to find out how it is done without harm to the unit.

Is it worth changing the oil in a Renault Duster manual transmission?

Oil is the lubricating component of any mechanism. It is present not only in the engine, but also in the gearbox. Changing the oil in a Renault Duster gearbox is taking care of a complex unit, which will significantly extend its life.

The fact is that over time, the lubricating component loses its properties and becomes unusable. This is due to the fact that in the process of friction of parts, they form chips and clog, in addition, during their operation, heating occurs, which leads to a change in its chemical composition. Chips, settling in the crankcase, from time to time mix with normal lubricant and scratch the surface complex parts, which can easily fail. Smooth surface– is a prerequisite for the operation of most parts of modern mechanisms. It is achieved only when timely replacement lubricating component.

The frequency of oil changes for Renault Duster can vary greatly depending on how the car is used. On average, this figure can range from 25 to 30 thousand kilometers. Driving with old oil beyond the specified mileage is fatal for a manual transmission. Therefore, upon reaching these numbers, it is recommended to immediately check the condition of the lubricant in the gearbox.

Oil selection

Before changing the oil and pouring new oil into the Renault Duster gearbox, you need to decide on the brand of lubricant. To find out which gearbox is being filled of this car, you need to pay attention to the content service book or see official data.

As a rule, the manufacturer pours the following brands of gear oils into Renault manual transmissions: TL8 or TL4 - Tranself or GL-4. There must be a note stating that this oil is transmission. In some cases, but best of all, GL-5 is used in the rear axle gearbox.

In addition to the above, you can fill in any other transmission lube, which has the appropriate approval for a given car brand and is applicable for most gearboxes modern cars, especially SUVs.

What tools will you need?

Depending on where you will change the oil in the manual transmission of a Renault Duster, you will need a different set of tools. If work is carried out on inspection hole or a lift, you can simply use a tetrahedron that fits under the gearbox drain plug.

If the work is carried out without the use of special lifts, inspection pits or overpasses, then you can use a jack and safety stops to raise the car above ground level. This way, all work can be done while lying under the car with the greatest possible comfort.

Last thing required condition– the presence of empty containers for old lubricant, since draining it onto the concrete floor of the garage or the ground is unacceptable. The fact is that lubricant is a product of oil processing, which is very toxic and has a negative effect on environment. To avoid contamination, it is necessary to pour it into a container and close it tightly. In the future, it must be disposed of in accordance with all rules for the disposal of such petroleum products.

Renault Duster: checking the level, topping up and changing the oil in a manual transmission

It's time to find out how to check the oil level in a manual transmission on a Renault Duster, replace and top up oil in the gearbox.

To find out the level, just open the hood of the car and carefully inspect the junction of the gearbox and the car engine. There you can see a yellow ring, which is the handle of the oil dipstick. By pulling the handle, you can pull out the probe, which has special divisions.

The level should be between the Max and Min marks and have a transparent color with a yellowish tint. In addition, the lubricating fluid should not be too thick and not too thin, so immediately determine its quality in order to avoid costly repairs in the future.

If the level is insufficient, then you will only need to top up, and if the oil is dark in color, then it is recommended to replace the oil in the gearbox with a Renault Duster.

Replacement is carried out in several stages:

• The car is driven into a pit or overpass.
• The control plug is unscrewed.

• The drain plug is unscrewed.

• The old is poured into a pre-prepared container. To make it drain faster, you can remove the oil dipstick.

• As soon as the oil has completely drained, you need to screw the plug back and fill in new oil through the measuring hole. Filling is done using a special syringe.

To make it easier to control the level, you need to insert the dipstick from time to time and look at the amount

Some car models provide level control not using a dipstick, but through filler plug. Oil is poured until it begins to flow out of filler neck. And the filling is done using a special syringe, which has a needle bent to the side.

Adding oil is carried out according to the same principle with one difference - the old oil is not drained. It is enough just to make sure that the level is insufficient and fill in a new one, constantly monitoring the volume. This procedure should only be performed if absolutely necessary. For example, there is a leak, but you urgently need to get to the station Maintenance. If you add oil to the maximum value at a normal level, the pressure will squeeze out the gearbox shaft seals, which will become unusable and an oil leak will definitely form. This judgment applies not only to the gearbox, but also to the car engine.

If you decide to change the brand and viscosity, then first of all, make sure that the new oil meets the tolerances and is approved for use in the vehicle’s transmission. After this, flushing is poured into the gearbox and the dipstick is inserted into place. The flushing level should be maximum.

Now place the box on neutral gear and start the engine. Primary shaft must scatter flushing fluid along the crankcase walls and completely clean the unit. After this, drain the wash, which will have time to turn black and fill the new kind oils in manual transmission.

Conclusion

That's all. As you can see, changing the oil in the Renault Duster gearbox is simple procedure, which does not require any special skills and abilities from the car owner. It is enough to have a minimal understanding of the structure of the car and skillfully use the tool during the replacement process.

To summarize, we recall that the replacement is carried out in three stages - quality control of the lubricating fluid, draining the old lubricating component and filling in a new one. Topping up is carried out only when the level is insufficient. If you perform this procedure unnecessarily, the seals can become unusable. We wish you good luck on the roads!

Hello. We will change the oil in the manual transmission with a Renault Duster (4x4). TL8 6-speed gearbox.

An oil change in a manual transmission should be done every five years or 120 thousand kilometers.

Step-by-step instruction

1. Place the car on a pit or lift.

2. Remove the crankcase protection.

3. Visually locate the drain plug.

4. We tear off the drain plug using an 8 by 8 mm square. Next, unscrew the plug with one hand, and with the other we place the dishes as the used oil flows out.

5. After draining the oil, tighten the drain plug. It is also advisable to change the O-ring on the plug. It can be copper or metal.

Also, after tightening the cork, wipe everything around the cork. This is necessary so that you can control oil leakage.

6. Unscrew the filler plug by hand. It is located slightly above and to the right of the left drive.

You can unscrew it from under the car, as well as from under the hood.

7. Fill 1.7 liter of oil using a syringe with a straw or a funnel with a hose. In addition to what's in the box technical documentation includes 1.7 liters, be sure to fill according to the level, it should be on the thread in the filler hole.

Also keep in mind that if you change the oil in a pit, the car must be level. If it is crooked, the level will deceive you.

You can fill it with a syringe from a pit or a lift, or with a funnel with a hose on top.

8. After filling the oil, tighten the filler plug and wipe off any oil leaks, if any.

9. You also need to check and clean the breather. Open the latch and pull the breather off the hose. Let's blow it out compressed air and install it in place.

Also be sure to follow where is he going breather hose. It should be on the box. It often happens when, for example, the clutch is changed, the gearbox is dismantled, etc., the breather hose is removed and forgotten to be put back on.

10. Install the crankcase protection.
