So it is time to change the oil in the gearbox. So start: First you need to drain the old oil, as drain not, then you need to unscrew the tray with one hand and gently pour the oil. We poured into a plastic bucket to measure the number of blended oils. Unscrew the filler cap on top (under the hood exactly between the air filter and fuse block), to give access to the air.

When the oil is drained gently unscrew the whole pan and gently lower it down, because he is full of oil and pour out the oil in a bucket.

Now we need to cater for the box itself before installing the new filter and pan.

Wipe the place of joining.

Set up in the box the new filter (the filter was a small O-ring golden brown), remove the ring and remove it is not necessary.

Unscrew the bolt from the bottom box oil level. There is a nuance in the box, we have filled seven jars of 0.94 liters approximately 6.6 liters, so that's out of the hole the oil begins to flow when infused 6 cans. As they say Americans are determined by the intensity level of the oil leak. If the slow-flowing little much, many, medium at the time. Therefore, we measured the amount of oil drained.

Tighten the plug in place. After the procedure the machine started up and drove a few miles. Then back to the pit in one place pursed gasket (acted a little oil), then another circle.


Everything is fine. What is missing is the price of the filter and fluid. Place of purchase.

Filter: 150 000. Shate th Oil: what is that about 1,053,936 rubles. The robin. For accuracy - measure, with empty bottles of oil, drained of oil.

What finally poured?

The ATF check level plug arrow in that image, is it pointing to that black tab(which is a sensor) on the side of the tranny, or is it plug out of view underneath?

It is possible to reach, that sensor at least, by removing the passenger wheel. With the wheel removed I lowered the car onto a wood block to get it to the right level.

And......?

You have tried the SEARCH box at the top of the page, right?

The easier thing is to read the entire thread post #7 has a picture.

This thread is old, but I have read it entirely to try and put the pieces together. I recently bought a '09 HHR SS with the 4-speed auto. Of course, the owner's manual says to take it to a dealer for a trans fluid change. But I do most of my own car work and want to drain it and change out the filter myself. I found a small plug on the bottom of the case near the passenger side axle. Is that a "drain" or "check" plug? I found the large black plug in the top of the trans. Is that for filling?

What is the procedure to perform this filter/fluid change? I know to drop the pan to empty the fluid. But how do I refill it and know it has the correct amount? A local tranny shop is telling me I need a special "removable dipstick" of some sorts. This seemed a little far-fetched.

Thanks in advance,
M Ridzon

That is a 'check' plug. There is no 'drain' plug, unless the pan has been outfitted with one, or replaced with a pan that has one.

Yes, refill via the filler cap on the top, with the vehicle level, until the fluid is at the bottom of the 'check' hole.

The Haynes manual has the whole procedure, but also warns that it "is best left to a professional shop with a safe lifting apparatus".
