[1] Filling cylinder: (-).0340
Respect the safety and cleanliness requirements.
Draining.
IMPERATIVE: Draining of the gearbox must be done with the oil hot (60°C minimum), in order to
ensure that the impurities in suspension in the oil are eliminated.
NOTE:Drainage is only partial, as the torque converter cannot be drained totally.
Raise the vehicle.
Remove:
- The oil level plug (2)by means of the Torx spanner.
- The drain plug (1)using a hexagonalspanner.
NOTE :Around 3 litresof oil should flow out.
Filling.
Fit the drain plug (1)(with a new seal).
Tighten the plug (1)to: 5 ± 1 mdaN.
Remove:
- The air filter housing.
- The oil filler plug (3).
Use tool [1].

WARNING: Do not take account of the information mentioned on tool [1].
Oil capacity for a dry gearbox: 7 litres (approx.).
Type of oil: JWS 3309 ESSO(red in colour).
Volume of oil remaining after draining: 4 litres (approx.).
Quantity of oil to be added: 3 litres (approx.).
Refit the filler plug (3)(with a new seal).
Tighten the plug (3)to: 4 ± 1 mdaN.
Initialise the oil usage counter (follow the procedure in the diagnostic tool).
Checking the oil level.
Prior conditions:
- Vehicle in a horizontal position.
- Check that the gearbox is not in back-up mode.
Remove the filler plug (3).
Add 0.5 litreof extra oil into the gearbox.
Press the brake, change through all the gears.
Gear lever in position "P".
Engine running, at idle:
- Oil temperature 60°C (+ 8 ; - 2)(parameter measures with a diagnostic tool).
- Remove the level plug (2).

Thread of oil, then "drip-drip".
Refit the level plug (2).
Tighten the plug (2)to: 0.8 ± 0,1 mdaN.
"drip-drip" or nothing.
Refit the level plug (2).
Stop the engine.
Add 0.5 litreof extra oil into the gearbox.
Repeat the topping-up procedure.
NOTE:The level is correct when the thread of oil becomes "drip-drip".
Refit the level plug (2)(with a new seal).
Tighten the plug (2)to: 0.8 ± 0,1 mdaN.
Refit the filler plug (3)(with a new seal).
Tighten the plug (3)to: 4 ± 1 mdaN.
A level of oil that is too high can have the following consequences: Abnormal overheating of the oil, leaks of oil
causing a level which is too low resulting in destruction of the gearbox.

CHECKING THE OIL PRESSURE IN THE AM6 AUTOMATIC GEARBOX
WARNING: Clean the flexible pipe of the tool [1] each time before use; the different
automatic gearbox oils cannot be intermixed.
Fit the tool [1]on the tool [2].
Perform the following operations:
- Raise the vehicle, wheels hanging.
- Apply the parking brake.
- Start the engine.
- Check the oil pressure.
WARNING: Wait for the gearbox oil to reach a temperature between 58°C and 68°C.
Check the level of oil in the gearbox (see corresponding operation).
NOTE:Check the temperature of the oil using the diagnostic tool in parameter measures.
Gear lever position: D.
Engine speed: Idling.
Principal oil pressure: 3.7 to 4.2 bars.

AIR
CONDITIONING
SPECIAL FEATURES: AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM (R 134.a)
Compressor lubricant
ESSENTIAL: The compressor lubricant is extremely hygroscopic; always use FRESH oil.
Checking the compressor oil level
There are three specific cases:
- 1)Repairs to a system without leaks.
- 2)Slow leak.
- 3)Fast leak.
1) Repairing a system without leaks.
a) - Using draining/recovery equipment not fitted with an oil decanter.
- Drain the system as slowly as possible via the LOW PRESSUREvalve, so as not to lose any oil.
- No more oil should be added when filling the system with R 134.afluid.
b) - Using draining/filling equipment fitted with an oil decanter.
- Drain the R 134.afluid from the system in accordance with the instructions in the equipment handbook.
- Measure the amount of oil recovered.
- Add the same amount of NEWoil when filling the system with R 134.afluid.
c) - Replacing a compressor.
- Remove the old compressor, drain it and measure the oil quantity.
- Drain the new compressor (supplied full), so that the same amount of NEWoil is left in the compressor as was in the old compressor.
- No more oil should be added when filling the system with R 134.afluid.

SPECIAL FEATURES: AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM (R 134.a)
Checking the compressor oil level (continued)
2) Slow leak.
Slow leaks do not lead to oil loss, therefore the same procedure should be followed as if there was no leak at all.
3) Fast leak.
This type of leak causes both oil loss as well as allowing air to enter the system.
It is therefore necessary to:
- Replace the dryer.
- Drain as much oil as possible (when replacing the faulty component).
Either before or during filling of the system with R 134.afluid, introduce 80 ccof NEWoil into the system.
If changing one of the following components, add as below:
- A drying bottle : 15 ccof compressor oil.
- A condenser or an evaporator : 20 cc of compressor oil.
- A high pressure or low pressure pipe : 5 ccof compressor oil.
- A drying cartridge : 15 ccof compressor oil.
