“Chevrolet Cruze” is quite popular in Russia car. He replaced the already outdated “the Lacetti”. And if the forerunner of the automatic transmission was a luxury, "Cruz" is equipped with such, almost standard. Accordingly, the question arises about the maintenance of the box. After all, its design is radically different from mechanical. Well, let's see how is performed a full oil change in the transmission «Chevrolet Cruze" and what are the features of this procedure.
As is known, an automatic transmission uses a wet clutch. For torque transmission meets the torque Converter. It is a powerful twin impeller, filled with special ATF fluid. This oil continually circulates through the box under pressure. The mechanics are the same as used clutch dry disc. Gears and shafts are lubricated without the pump. ATF fluid is red. Over the years, this oil gets black tint, absorbing all the dirt from the elements box. Also the color changes in case of strong overheating of the box. It could be towing or driving with an overloaded trailer. Like any other liquid, ATF oil is a consumable and must be changed. What product to use when changing oil in automatic transmission “Chevrolet Cruze” 1.8? Experts recommend to apply oil to “mobile” Dexron sixth grade.
In accordance with the technical regulations of ATF fluid on “Chevrolet Cruze” is changed every 60 thousand kilometers. Why do I need to do that? If not replaced in time, the problems begin with the operation of the automatic transmission. The fact that at this mileage, the oil forms a critical amount of chips that are not able to hold metal magnets. So, this production begins to circulate freely on all channels automatic and settle in the most difficult places. Eventually clogged the cooling channels and filter. This causes overheating of the box and output it in emergency mode. When shifting, it may be kicking. And this is a cause for serious diagnostics. In some cases, changing the oil in automatic transmission in “Chevrolet Cruze” can be done before the allocated time? First and foremost, this applies to cars bought on the secondary market with unknown history. If the former owner does not provide receipts or other documentation confirming the replacement of ATF fluid, there is a possibility that she has not changed at all. This is especially true of machines with run more than 100 thousand kilometers. Please note that on many cars the mileage can be twisted. Timely replacement will prevent unpleasant consequences. In some cases, changing the oil in automatic transmission in “Chevrolet Cruze” is early? Also, this operation should only be performed if box often started out in “accident” (only 3 assists) and overheat. Most likely, the system has accumulated sludge from shavings.

The Answer to this question depends on the method of replacement fluid. So, if this is a partial oil change transmission “Chevrolet Cruze" enough is 5.5 liters. Why so few? Because all the fluid drained will not be possible. She will remain in the hydraulic unit and other elements of the transmission. In the case of full replacement, you'll need 7.6 litres. But that's not all. About the features of such replacement automatic gearbox oil in “Chevrolet Cruze” will describe below.
The Main advantage of this method over a partial is that when the replace box is completely cleaned from dirt and old ATF liquid. The car connects to a special stand that pressure feeds oil to the box. With this technology, you can completely flush the transmission of all the negative sediment. It would Seem that the method is very effective and safe for the box. But why, many have resorted to the use of partial replacement of oil replacement in automatic transmission “Chevrolet Cruze” 1.6? All a matter of cost. So, when the full flushing is activated double and triple dose of the liquid, not to mention the 7.6-litre volume, which must be completed at the end of the procedures. Thus, complete replacement is used from 20 to 30 litres of ATF fluid. Total cost of consumables will be up to 20-25 thousand roubles. It is very expensive.
Whether such replacement or can I use partial, only you can decide. We also note that this procedure is indeed useful for the box. After all, under pressure on the stand, washed the rest of the old fluid with shavings and other sediments. Transmission after this procedure will work like new. If you plan to keep this car in hand, you can fork out for such an operation. After all, it is done rarely – once in 60 thousand kilometers.
First, the car connects to the flush of the radiator hose automatic transmission. This heat exchanger near the radiator cooling system. The hoses are attached to the clamps. Also connected to the drain hole.After a successful connection, the car starts.The wash stand will automatically detect the direction of movement of the oil and the pressure in the system. Further into the box through the dipstick filled with flushing oil (optional). The engine continues to run for 5-6 minutes. Then periodically include all box modes (drive, neutral, rear, and so on), keeping the car on the handbrake.
After another 4-5 minutes the washing plant pump out the old fluid in a specialized capacity. That box was not working “dry”, simultaneously with the pumping it served a new portion of ATF fluid.
At this time, the master monitors the purity of the waste oil. Circulates to stand until the color of the old ATF fluid will not be the same as new. Next is how to change oil in automatic transmission in “Chevrolet Cruze”? Then the unit is turned off and the master disconnect hoses from radiator. After that, the car is subjected to replacement filters coarse and fine filters. It is important to remove metal shavings that accumulated on the magnets of the pallet. You can see in the photo below.After making all these operations and installation of new filter machine suitable for further use. Any additional measures in the next 60 thousand need not apply (except to monitor the fluid level on the dipstick).
So we figured out how to replacing the oil in the automatic transmission “Chevrolet Cruze”. His hands repeat this impossible – requires a special wash stand. Such works are performed only at specialized service stations. Therefore, to save many motorists have resorted to “initiative”, partially changing the fluid in the box. But no matter how often it may change, still do not succeed to achieve the same effect as in the case of the use of the stand. Remember that the money spent on a complete washing will be still less than the cost of repairs in case of failure.
