Replacement transmission Oil - Difficult and responsible procedure. Transmission, in general, is considered one of the most complex and important components of the car, and its repair is better to leave professionals. But, if there are no options, you can make a mentioned procedure yourself.

This article will talk about how in the home (more precisely, "garage") conditions to replace oil in Kia Optima.

Breakdowns and leakage oil from automatic transmission

First you need to answer the question: why do you need a transmission oil?

List of functions lubricant ACPP includes:

Thermoregulation. First of all, it concerns the cooling of transmission parts that are heated during the ride;
Friction clutch;
Cleaning the parts of the transmission from dust, metal chips, and other particles capable of preventing the uninterrupted operation of the system;
Protection of parts from corrosion;
Transfer torque. This function transmission oil performs in a car torque converter.

Due to the fact that oil in the automatic transmission performs important tasks, the criteria of "selection" for it is tougher. As a rule, the factory oil is recommended to pour, which is purchased from official dealers. The same applies to the purchase of a new oil filter. For fakes of this detail are common, and their installation and operation can lead to a catastrophic outcome.

Possible consequences when using poor-quality transmission oil or in its late replacement:

Increased fuel consumption;
Accelerated wear of the automatic gearbox for details;
Fast engine overheating;
Contamination of transmission internals.

All of the above breakdowns and complications in the operation of the car systems are potentially emergency dangerous. Therefore, it is recommended to use only high-quality transmission lubricant, as well as a filter / tray.

Now about the first signs that it is necessary to add or change lubricant into the automatic transmission:

engine knock when driving;
hindered speed switching;
gasoline overrun;
worsening car manageability.

If any of the above options occur, it is necessary to check whether the oil change is required in the automatic transmission in the QIA optima.

Oil change process in automatic transmission

To replace the transmission oil into the automatic transmission to Kia Optima, you must first prepare.

The first stage of preparation - purchase transmission lubricant and spare parts for replacement (first of all it concerns the filtering element that is worn before all, and the sealing ring drain plug). Acquire them better from official dealers in order not to get a poor-quality fake.

The second stage is collecting tools. List required tools To replace oil into automatic transmission on Kia Optima:

Set of keys and screwdrivers;
Ratchet (or "asterisk");
Dense work clothes and, first of all, gloves;
Lantern or portable lamp;
Filter puller;
Funnel;
Rag;
Any large capacity for 5-7 liters, for spent transmission oil.

Third Stage of Preparation - workplace. Ideally, the procedure should be carried out on the lift, the overpass or over observation pitBut, in the absence of these options, you can use jacks.

Having completed the preparation, you can go directly to replacing the transmission oil in Automatic transmission kia Optima.

First you need to warm up the car engine. For this, there is enough trip at 8-10 kilometers. It is required that the oil viscosity level decreased, and it has better flowed.

Then the machine is installed on the prepared place, the main thing is that the car owner has access to the bottom. Of course, before proceeding to the procedure, it is necessary to change into dense work clothes. In addition to gloves, it is recommended to wear a mask and welding (or other similar) glasses to protect your face and head.

Under the drain plug on the pallet, a harvested container is installed, after which the plug is unscrewed. Then there is a drain of the old oil with the automatic transmission of KIA optima. Usually lubrication flows within 5-10 minutes. All "work" will not work at once. To do this, the procedure must be repeated 3-4 times, while using a special pump.

The next step is to remove the pallet, for which you need to unscrew all the fastening bolts, except for two distances. When the pallet leaned, everything remained the remaining oil, and only then, using the crack, can be unscrewed to the end of the remaining bolts.

After removing the pallet, it is cleared, as well as the magnets located on it are cleaned. The task of the latter is the collection of metal chips, which inevitably appears when the engine and the transmission is operational, due to the friction of parts. Magnets are cleaned with a rag. Pallet - special cleaning fluid.

Having completed with the cleaning of the pallet, you can install a new transmission filter. Before it is installed, carving and filter, and on landing place Slipped with new oil. To twist, you can use and hands (if the forces allow), or special key. The main thing is not to damage the valuable item.

Further step - installation of the pallet in place. To do this, all bolts are tightened, including hard-to-reach distant. But first it is recommended to check the layout status. If it looks worn, better and replace it, greased a new transmission oil. It concerns and laying a drain plug.

Finally, you can pour a new oil into automatic transmission, through the hole for the measuring probe. Cold lubrication will be poured, so the level must be checked by the "Cold" mark. Then the machine starts and another trip is performed, after which the lubrication level is checked by the "HOT" mark.

When should I change the oil in the automatic transmission?

According to the recommendations of experienced car owners, in conditions russian roads Replacing transmission oil for Kia Optima should be carried out every 60,000 mileage kilometers (or every 7-8 months of operation of the car).

But operating conditions can be different, so it is better to check the level and state of lubrication in the automatic transmission every 15,000-20,000 km.

This is done with the help of the measuring probe. On some models to get to it, you need to remove the engine protection. At the very probe 4 marks, two min and max. The bottom pair is calculated for checking the oil level on the cold, the upper is used when the engine is heated. Consequently, the check must be made in two stages. The sequence of actions is the same: to remove the probe, wipe the rag, immerse the back and reveal again. This is done once with cold oil, and one - after a short trip.

In parallel with this, you can check the condition of the oil. Ideally, it should be light yellow or even a light pink shade. The darkening indicates the ambulance of its replacement to the KIA Optima automatic transmission. The presence of Gary and chips claims to be acute full shift both oil and pallet filter.

Kia optima is quite young and almost every car is served by official dealer. But definitely in the future to each owner this car It will be necessary independently or in the car services to serve your car (although it is elementary every owner at least a volume should know fuel tank). And for this you need to know the filling volumes and the fuel and fuel and liquids recommended by the manufacturer. To help the owners of KIA Optima below shows the table filling tanks and lubricants.

In this article, you will learn how to correctly check the oil level in six speed (6 tbsp.) Automatic transmission, as well as replace the liquid into many automatic transmission kia models And Hyundai.

Checking the oil level (liquid, ATF) in 6-st. Kia / Hyundai automatic transmission.

Note: in the process planned service ATF level check is usually not required. Check the ATF level should be in case of leak detection (upon completion of the repair).

CAUTION: In the process of checking the level of ATF, do not drive dust through the filling hole, foreign substances, etc.

Remove ( bay cork) bolt "A" on top of automatic transmission (during installation, torque of a bolt "A": 34.3 ~ 44.1 N · m (3.5 ~ 4.5 kgf · m, 25.3 ~ 32.6 pound power · Foot), in case of weakening the bolt, be sure to replace its gasket (ring))

2. Fill in a filling opening 770 ml of ATF SP-IV fluid.

3. Start the engine (without pressing the brake pedal and accelerator at the same time).

4. Make sure the GDS diagnostic scanner is that the ATF fluid temperature is in the range of 50 ~ 60 ° C (122 ~ 140 ° F).

5. B. idling Seamlessly translate the gear lever from the "P" position in "D", then back from "D" in "P". Repeat this cycle again.

CAUTION: In each position it is necessary to withstand at least 2 seconds.

6. Raise the car and remove the control plug of the ATF level "A" from the cover of the control valve block, the engine must work (during installation, the tightening torque of the ATF level level: 34.3 ~ 44.1 nm (3.5 ~ 4, 5 kgm, 25.3 ~ 32.6 pounds per foot)).

CAUTION: The car must be horizontally.

7. The ATF level is considered correct if the oil flows through the bypassing hole with a thin uniform flow. Complete the procedure by tightening the test plug.

Note: A method of checking the oil level (on surplus or disadvantage):

a) Excess: ATF follows through the bypass opening with a strong stream;

b) disadvantage: ATF does not follow.

Caution: If the ATF automatic transmission and cooler are not damaged, and the automatic transmission crankcase and the control valve block are tightened normally, after completion of operations 1-7 ATF must flow. If, after completion of operations, 1-7 ATF does not follow, inspect the ACP assembly. After each attenuation of the ATF level control cork, replace its gasket.

8. Lower the car on the lift and tighten the bolt bolt.

Replacing oil (liquid, ATF) in 6-st. Kia / Hyundai automatic transmission.

1. Remove the drain plug "A", completely drain the ATF liquid and tighten the drain plug (during installation, the tightening torque of the drain plug: 34.3 ~ 44.1 nm (3.5 ~ 4.5 kgm, 25.3 ~ 32, 6 pounds per foot)).

CAUTION: It is advisable to install a new ring (gasket) cork.

2. Fill approximately 5 liters of fluid with ATF SP-IV tolerance through the topping bolt.

Replacing the oil in the box kia gear Optima is most often repaired with the repair of the automatic transmission itself, or it is replaced by a new job during the elimination of oil leaks, as it must be drained for work. The oil in the automatic transmission is filled with the case once for the entire service life of the car. The oil replacement in the KIA Optima automatic transmission is recommended to entrust professionals, but in some cases this operation can be cope with its own.

Functions oil ATF. In the automatic transmission KIA Optima:

effective lubrication of rubbing surfaces and mechanisms;
reduced mechanical load on nodes;
heat dissipation;
removal of microparticles resulting from corrosion or wear of parts.

The color of the ATF oil for the KIA Optima automatic transmission allows not only to distinguish between oils by type, but it helps to find out in case of leakage, from which system the liquid ran away. For example, oil in automatic transmission and GUR - has a red shade, antifreeze - green, in the engine - yellowish.

Causes of leakage of oil from automatic transmission in KIA Optima:

wear salts of automatic transmission;
wear surfaces of shafts, the occurrence of the gap between the shaft and the sealing element;
wire of the sealing element of the automatic transmission and shaft of the speedometer drive;
lental primary Vala Automatic transmission;
damage to the sealing layer in compounds between parts of automatic transmission: pallet, automatic transmission, Carter, clutch housing;
weakening bolts that provide the compound of the above parts of the automatic transmission;

Low oil level in KIA Optima automatic transmission is the main reason for the failure of frictional. Due to the low pressure of the fluid, the frictions are poorly pressed against steel disks and are not tightly in contact with each other. As a result, friction linings in the automatic transmission Kia Optima. Strongly heated, charred and destroy, significantly polluting oil.

Due to lack of oil or low-quality oil in the KIA Optima automatic transmission:

plungers and hydroblock channels are clogged with mechanical particles, which leads to a deficiency of oil in packets and provokes wear of the sleeve, rubbing parts of the pump, etc.;
overheat and quickly wear out steel discs gearboxes;
overheat and burn rubberized pistons, stubborn discs, clutch drum, etc.;
warm and comes into disrete of hydraps.

Contaminated automatic transmission oil cannot fully remove heat and provide high-quality lubricant parts, which leads to various malfunctions of automatic transmission KIA OPTIMA. Highly polluted oil is an abrasive suspension, which under high pressure creates the effect of sandblasting. Intensive impact on the hydraulic contact leads to the thinning of its walls in the locations of the valve-regulators, as a result of which numerous leaks may occur.
Check the oil level in Kia Optima automatic transmission using probe. Oil dipstick has two pairs of labels - the top pair of Max and Min allows you to determine the level of hot oil, the lower pair is on the cold. Using the probe is easy to check the oil condition: it is necessary to drop the oil to clean white tissue.

When choosing an automatic transmission of KIA Optima, the replacement should be guided by a simple principle: it is best to use the oil recommended by KIA. At the same time instead mineral Oil You can fill a semi-synthetic or synthetic, but in no case cannot be used by the "class below" oil from the prescribed one.

Synthetic oil for automatic transmission of KIA Optima is called "unreasonable", it is poured for the entire service life of the car. Such oil does not lose its properties under the influence high temperatures and designed for a very long term of use of KIA Optima. But it is impossible to forget about the appearance of a mechanical suspension as a result of the wear of the frictions with a very significant mileage. If the automatic transmission is kept in conditions of lack of oil for some time, it is required to check the degree of contamination and perform a replacement if necessary.

Methods for replacing oil in the automatic transmission Kia Optima:

Partial oil change in box Kia. Optima;
Full oil replacement in KIA optima box;

Partial oil replacement in the Kia Optima automatic transmission can be performed independently. To do this, it is enough to unscrew the plums on the pallet, drove the car onto the overpass, and collect butter into the container. Usually flows up to 25-40% of the volume, the remaining 60-75% remain in the hydrotransformer, that is, in fact this update, and not replacement. To refresh this method in the automatic transmission of KIA optima to the maximum, 2-3 replacements will be required.

Complete replacement of automatic transmission oil CAI OPTIMA is made using the installation to replace oil into the automatic transmission, Specialists in the car service. In this case, it will be necessary more oil ATF, which accommodates the Kia Optima automatic transmission. For flushing out the one-hour or double volume of fresh ATF. In terms of cost will be more expensive partial replacementYes, and not every car service providing such a service.
Partial replacement of ATF oil in a Kia Optima automatic transmission box on a simplified scheme:

We unscrew the drain plug, drain the old ATF oil;
We unscrew the DCP pallet, which, besides its bolts, processed along the contour of the sealant.
We get access to the automatic transmission filter, it is desirable to change it with each oil change, or rinse.
At the bottom of the pallet there are magnets that are necessary for collecting metal dust and chips.
We clean the magnets and rinse the pallet, wipe dry.
We establish the automatic transmission filter into place.
We establish the trash of automatic transmission to the place, replacing the laying of the drive of the automatic transmission, if necessary.
Tighten the drain plug by replacing the drain plug gasket for automatic transmission.

The oil is poured through the technological bay opening (where the Propertile automatic transmission is located), according to the PCP, control the oil level into the automatic transmission to the cold. Replacing the oil in the automatic transmission, it is important to check its level by passing 10-20 km, already on a heated automatic transmission. If necessary, add to the level. The regularity of oil replacement depends not only on the run, but also on the nature of the ride at Kia Optima. It is not necessary to focus on the recommended kilometer, but to the degree of pollution of the oil, systematically checking it.
