940 L4-2.3L SOHC VIN 88 B230F (1992)
Fluid Type
Grade Of Fluid
-
ATF fluid, type Dexron II D.
-
Check that the low level is not due to leakage. Checking at a temperature lower than +5°C (41°F) may give an incorrect level. Driving with
low fluid level will cause foaming of the fluid (accompanied by a droning noise) which, in turn, may also give an incorrect level.
CAUTION: Dexron fluid must not be mixed with other types. Under no circumstances may additives be added to transmission fluid.
Top-up Quantities (in Liters.) When:
-
Removing oil sump (e.g. when replacing gasket) 3.3.
Before starting engine top up with 2.7.
-
Overhauling control system in car 5.5.
Before starting engine top up with 5.0.
-
Overhauling transmission and installing new torque converter 7.5.
Before starting engine top up with 7.0.
-
Overhauling transmission and re-installing original torque converter 6.5.
Before starting engine top up with 6.1.
(Torque converter cannot be drained fully)
CAUTION: Add 300 cc if car is fitted with extra oil cooler (which may also be installed as an accessory).
Fluid Discolored Or Gives Off Burnt Odor
-
Remove oil sump. Inspect for impurities in the form of abnormal quantities of particles of steel, aluminium or lining materials.
Impurities In Transmission:
-
Replace transmission. If appropriate, dismantle transmission and identify cause. See: Transmission and Drivetrain/Automatic
Transmission/Transaxle/Service and Repair
-
Replace damaged components. If no fault is found in gearbox, particles have probably originated in torque converter. In this case, replace
converter, and clean oil cooler and pipes.
No Impurities In Transmission:
-
Change fluid and clean oil sump, oil strainer, particle magnet(s) and oil cooler.
-
Alternatively, replace transmission.
-
If oil is discolored or burnt due to hard driving or towing a caravan, although transmission is functioning correctly, top up with fresh fluid,
in other words, top up until clean fluid runs continuously from return pipe. Refer to "Oil System, Cleaning". See: Transmission and
Drivetrain/Automatic Transmission/Transaxle/Service and Repair
