Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Draining methods
Oil capacities are defined according to the following methods
16
GENERAL
CAPACITIES (in litres)
Draining of the engine lubrication system by GRAVITY
Place the vehicle on horizontal ground (in the high position if
hydropneumatic suspension).
The engine should be hot (oil temperature 80°C).
Drain the sump by gravity.
Remove the oil filter cartridge (time for draining and drip-drip = 15
minutesapprox.).
Refit the cap with a new seal.
Refit a new oil filter cartridge.
Refill the engine with oil (see table for oil capacity).
Start the engine to fill the oil filter cartridge.
Stop the engine (allow to stabilise for 5 minutes).Draining of the engine lubrication system by SUCTION
Place the vehicle on horizontal ground (in the high position if
hydropneumatic suspension).
The engine should be hot (oil temperature 80°C).
Remove the oil by suction through the dipstick tube.
Remove the oil filter cartridge.
Maintain the suction of oil in the sump (15 minutesapprox.).
Refit a new oil filter cartridge.
Refill the engine with oil (see table for oil capacity).
Start the engine to fill the oil filter cartridge.
Stop the engine (allow to stabilise for 5 minutes).
WARNING: Remove the suction container before starting the engine.
ESSENTIAL: Systematically check the oil level using the oil dipstick.

DRAINING, FILLING AND TOPPING UP THE AM6 AUTOMATIC GEARBOX
Tool.
[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].

CHECKING THE OIL PRESSURE IN THE AM6 AUTOMATIC GEARBOX
Checking the torque converter.
WARNING: This check has to be of short duration (2 seconds), as it causes a rapid
rise in the temperature of the oil in the automatic gearbox.
Respect the following checking conditions:
- Engine at operating temperature.
- Gear lever in position D.
- Press on the brake pedal.
- Accelerate the engine to the maximum engine speed (see below).
Gear lever position.: D.
Maximum engine speed for ES9A : 2400 ± 50 rpm.
Maximum engine speed for DT17 : 2600 ± 50 rpm.
Diagnosis:
- If the maximum engine speed obtained is lower than the value indicated, the torque
converter is the cause.
- If the maximum engine speed obtained is higher than the value indicated, the automatic
gearbox is the cause (slipping).
Additional operations.
Remove tools [1]and [2].
Refit the screw (2), with a new seal.
Reposition the pipe (1).
Refit the air filter housing.
