Check the Fluid Leakage (If Necessary, Check the Fluid Level) /Change

TWIN CLUTCH-SPORTRONIC SHIFT TRANSMISSION (TC-SST) [CHECK THE FLUID LEAKAGE (IF NECESSARY, CHECK THE FLUID LEVEL) /CHANGE]

TC-SST FLUID LEAKAGE CHECK
1. Clean the TC-SST exterior, and visually check the TC-SST for fluid leaks.
2. If the fluid is leaking from the oil pan or the oil seal, replace the part. If the fluid is leaking from the part other than the oil pan and the oil seal, replace the TC-SST assembly.

TC-SST FLUID LEVEL CHECK
1. Remove the engine room under cover front B assembly.
2. Start the engine, and let it run at idle to warm it up for 15 minutes.
3. Move the shift lever to every position (P, R, N, D, manual mode) (Hold for 20 seconds in each position), and then move it to the P range.
4. Stop the engine.
5. Remove the air cleaner element and air cleaner intake duct.





6. Remove the filler plug.

CAUTION:
^ The drained fluid can be reused if it is between the replacement intervals.
[Replacement interval]
^ Normal condition: 96,000 km (60,000 miles)
^ Severe condition: 48,000 km (30,000 miles)
^ When reusing the drained fluid, make sure that no foreign object gets into the fluid.





7. Remove the drain plugs, and leave it for 3 minutes to drain the fluid.

NOTE: Because the fluid in the oil cooler, oil filter, and TC-SST assembly cannot be drained, the amount of drained fluid will be approximately 5.5 dm3 (approximately 5.8 quarts).

8. Tighten the drain plugs to the specified torque.
Tightening torque: 35 ± 5 Nm (26 ± 4 ft-lb)

CAUTION:
Measure the drained fluid. If the drained fluid is less than approximately 5.5 dm3 (approximately 5.8 quarts), add new fluid to make it approximately 5.5 dm3 (approximately 5.8 quarts).

9. Fill the fluid into the filler plug.
Brand name: Dia Queen SSTF-I
Filling amount: Approximately 5.5 dm3 (approximately 5.8 quarts)
10. Tighten the filler plug to the specified torque.
Tightening torque: 35 ± 5 Nm (26 ± 4 ft-lb)
11. Install the air cleaner element and air cleaner intake duct.
12. Install the engine room under cover front B assembly.
