GEARBOX OILCHANGE
RENAULT Kadjar (HA_, HL_)

The oil dipstick has two pairs of marks – the upper pair Max and Min allows you to determine the level on hot oil, the bottom pair – on cold oil. 

Using the dipstick, it is easy to check the condition of the oil: you need to drip oil onto a clean white cloth.

When choosing a Renault Captur automatic transmission oil for replacement, you should follow a simple principle: it is best to use the oil recommended by Renault. In this case, instead of mineral oil, you can fill in semi-synthetic or synthetic, but in no case should you use oil “lower class” from the prescribed one.

Synthetic oil for automatic transmission Renault Kaptur is called “irreplaceable”, it is filled for the entire service life of the car. 

This oil does not lose its properties under the influence of high temperatures and is designed for a very long service life of Renault Captur. But we must not forget about the appearance of mechanical suspension as a result of the wear of the clutches with very significant mileage. If the automatic transmission has been operated for some time in conditions of lack of oil, it is required to check the degree of its contamination and, if necessary, replace it.

A partial oil change in the Renault Captur automatic transmission can be done independently. 

To do this, it is enough to unscrew the drain on the pallet, driving the car onto the overpass, and collect the oil in a container. 

Usually, up to 25-40% of the volume flows out, the remaining 60-75% remains in the torque converter, that is, in fact, this is an update, not a replacement. To update the oil in the Renault Kaptur automatic transmission in this way to the maximum, 2-3 replacements are required.

A complete oil change of the Renault Captur automatic transmission is carried out using an automatic transmission oil change unit, by specialists in a car service. In this case, more ATF oil is required than the Renault Captur automatic transmission can accommodate. 

One and a half or double volume of fresh ATF is used for flushing. 

The cost will be more expensive than partial replacement, and not every car service provides such a service.

Partial ATF oil change in Renault Captur automatic transmission box according to a simplified scheme: Unscrew the drain plug, drain the old ATF oil;

We unscrew the automatic transmission pan, which, in addition to the bolts holding it, is processed along the contour with a sealant.

We get access to the automatic transmission filter, it is advisable to change it with each oil change or rinse it.

At the bottom of the pallet, there are magnets that are needed to collect metal dust and chips.

We clean the magnets and rinse the pan, wipe dry.

We install the automatic transmission filter in place.

We install the automatic transmission pan in place, replacing the automatic transmission pan gasket if necessary.

We tighten the drain plug by replacing the drain plug gasket for the automatic transmission.

We fill the oil through the technological filler hole (where the automatic transmission dipstick is located), using the dipstick we control the oil level in the automatic transmission to a cold one. 

After changing the oil in the automatic transmission, it is important to check its level by driving 10-20 km, already with the automatic transmission warmed up. Top up if necessary.

The regularity of oil changes depends not only on the mileage but also on the nature of the ride on the Renault Captur. 

You should focus not on the recommended mileage, but on the degree of contamination of the oil, systematically checking it.
