How to change the oil in a Citroen C5 automatic transmission.

Golovna Reputable manufacturers of automatic transmissions (automatic transmissions), such as ZF, Aisin and GM, unanimously declare the need to consistently control the transmission and transmission transmission oil

(ATF), as well as carry out regular replacement in accordance with the established regulations. Only in this way can you ensure reliable and uninterrupted operation of the unit for a long period of service. The frequency of replacing the transmission oil is indicated in service book your car, the new procedure is just as complex as the whole complex of planned work

technical service

(TI).

To fully ensure the performance of the automatic transmission, it is necessary to control the level and level of ATF at least once every 10 thousand. km run.

If the oil has lost its clarity and purity, then this is a sure sign that the time has come to replace it.

Partial replacement of a Citroen automatic transmission This method benefits car owners because they can repair the car independently without the participation of car service representatives, and can also save money. Old oil comes out through the drain hole, and if there is no such oil, it is necessary to dismantle the pan.


When only 30 to 50% ATF is used, everything will be the same as before in the automatic transmission mechanism.

The amount of new oil that is poured is bound to increase the bitterness of the angry one.

Obviously, this technique only allows for renovation, rather than replacement.

By performing a number of such cycles at an interval of approximately 100 km and using a large amount of oil, you can achieve a pleasant result. Complete replacement of oil in Citroen automatic transmission For trouble-free automatic transmission operation we recommend

    olium (ATF) with variable periodicity.

    At our car service, the constant replacement of oil is carried out with the help of special equipment, which ensures accurate dosing of the oil and automatic replacement of the oil and replacement technical process.

Together with the oil, it is very easy to replace the filter.

The entire complex of approaches makes it possible to maintain the automatic transmission without the need for expensive repairs.

Changing the oil in the Citroen C5 gearbox is most often associated with repairing the automatic transmission itself, or it is replaced with a new one during operation due to the loss of oil leakage, since it is necessary to drain it to carry out the operation. The oil in the automatic transmission is filled with the transmission one-time for the entire period of service of the car. It is recommended to entrust the replacement of oil in the Citroen C5 automatic transmission to professionals, otherwise in some cases this operation may cause problems with self-propulsion.

  • Functions
  • oliy ATF
  • in the automatic transmission of a Citroen C5:
  • effective oil for rubbing surfaces and mechanisms;
reduction of mechanical demand on the wuzley;
heat input;
  • removal of microparticles that form as a result of corrosion and wear of parts.
  • The color of ATF oil for the Citroen C5 automatic transmission allows not only to separate the oil by type, but also helps to identify the flow from which system the fluid has flowed.
  • For example, the oil in the automatic transmission and power steering is red, the antifreeze is green, the engine is yellow.
  • Reasons for oil leakage from the automatic transmission in Citroen C5:
  • wear of automatic transmission seals;
  • wear on the surface of the shafts, causing the gap between the shaft and the bearing element;
wear of the automatic transmission wear element and the speedometer drive shaft;

play in the automatic transmission input shaft;

  • cleaning the sealing ball at the connections between parts of the automatic transmission: pan, automatic transmission housing, crankcase, clutch housing;
  • loosening the bolts to ensure connection between all parts of the automatic transmission;
  • Low oil content in the Citroen C5 automatic transmission is the main reason for the clutch failure.
  • Through the low pressure of the friction clutches, they are poorly pressed against the steel discs and do not contact one another strongly enough.
Contaminated automatic transmission oil cannot fully remove heat and protect the clear oil of parts, which can lead to various malfunctions of the Citroen C5 automatic transmission.
The oil is heavily contaminated with an abrasive suspension, which under great pressure creates the effect of piscostrum. Intense injection into the hydraulic block leads to the strengthening of its walls at the places where the valves-regulators are loosened, and as a result, numerical leakage may occur.

You can check the oil level in the Citroen C5 automatic transmission using an additional dipstick.

The oil dipstick has two pairs of marks - the upper pair Max and Min allows you to measure the oil in hot oil, the lower pair - in cold oil.

It is easy to check the oil level with a vicor probe: you need to drop some oil onto a clean white cloth.

  • When choosing a Citroen C5 automatic transmission oil to replace the brake tracks, follow a simple principle: use the best oil recommended by Citroen.
  • In this case, instead of mineral oil, it is possible to fill in synthetic or synthetic oil, but in any case it is not possible to use oil of a “lower class” instead of a propionated one.
Synthetic oil for the Citroen C5 automatic transmission is called “unchangeable” and is used for the entire period of operation of the vehicle. Such an oil does not lose its power under the influence of high temperatures and is insured for the trivial term of the victorious Citroen C5.

However, one cannot forget about the appearance of a mechanical suspension as a result of wear of the clutches after even a significant mileage. If the automatic transmission has been used for some time in the absence of fluid, it is necessary to check the level of contamination and, if necessary, replace it.
Methods for replacing oil in a Citroen C5 automatic transmission:

  1. Partial replacement of oil in the Citroen C5 box;
  2. We unscrew the automatic transmission pan, which, in addition to the bolts, is sealed around the contour with sealant.
  3. It is possible to deny access to the automatic transmission filter, which must be changed during a skin oil change or flushed.
  4. At the bottom of the pallet there are magnets, which are necessary for collecting metal saws and shavings.
  5. We clean the magnets and rinse the tray, wipe it dry.
  6. We install the automatic transmission filter on the seat.
  7. We install the automatic transmission pan in place of replacing the automatic transmission pan gasket if necessary.
  8. We tighten the drain plug, replacing the drain plug gasket for the automatic transmission.
The oil is poured through the technological filler hole (without removing the automatic transmission dipstick), using the dipstick we control the level of oil in the automatic transmission when it is cold. Having changed the oil in the automatic transmission, it is important to check it after driving 10-20 km, while the automatic transmission is warm. If necessary, add equalizer.

The regularity of replacing oil depends not only on the mileage, but also on the nature of driving the Citroen C5. You should not focus so much on the recommended mileage, but rather on the stage of oil contamination, systematically checking it. Proper replacement of the oil in the Citroen C5 automatic transmission allows you to fully extend the life of transmission parts and maintain the integrity of the expensive unit. In addition, updated transmission center

: The gear shifts become soft and unmistakable.

  • When should I change it?
  • Replacing the oil in the Citroen C5 automatic transmission is not transferred to the transmission - it is filled in at the factory and is insured for the entire service life of the gearbox.
  • However, due to the Russian road and climatic conditions, maintenance is still carried out carefully: the drivers recommend working at intervals of 60 thousand kilometers.
  • Given that the oil change is necessary every day, the drive for this operation can be:

change the ATF color (darker);

presence of a characteristic “burnt” smell;

  • metal saw traces found in a lot of slides;
  • malfunctions in the robot transmission.

How to change it? You can change the oil in two ways: frequent replacement, which involves removing the automatic transmission crankcase pan and installing a new filter element (installed manually);

The gearbox is a matching mechanism between the engine and transmission. The principle of this operation would seem to be quite simple: it transmits the winding from the engine flywheel to the transmission, and then to the wheels. If at the final moment it is transmitted behind the additional synchronizers to the shaft, which practically stick together one after another, then automatic transmission The possibility of shutting down the shafts is switched off.

On the right, the torque from the engine to the transmission is transmitted by a subcenter force in the torque converter (at

in lonely moments

(variator), and this helps to ensure stepless and frequent shifting of fluids.

Instructions for replacing the oil in the Citroen C5 automatic transmission.

It looks something like this: the engine spins the flywheel of the drive shaft, which, in its turn, transfers the rotation on the blade to the driven shaft, but it is not because the blades collide one with the other, but because the central force spins the oil that fills the gearbox . Also, oil protects against the wear of automatic transmission parts, but it is an unknown part of the mechanism itself. Without it, the box cannot be sold, and sometimes it has to be changed.

The Citroen C5 is damaged for a variety of reasons and in a variety of ways.

Replacement intervals There are many reasons to change a component in an automatic transmission. The most obvious thing is a journey. The manufacturer's recommendations for the critical mileage range for the Citroen C5 automatic transmission is 50-60 thousand kilometers. car - from the moment of purchase, enter basic information there, as well as maintenance records. Since there is no such information in the technical data sheet, you can find it on the probe or on internal side

hood flaps.

In extreme cases, at a good service station, I’ll definitely tell you what choice to make, and I’ll also introduce it often. Chastkov's replacement Make sure your owners choose cars with an automatic transmission private replacement This is, however, a more budget-friendly option.

To be honest, for the sake of the situation it is the same.

The car has been driven without mileage official dealer, then it will often be cheaper to replace a component in an automatic transmission. To carry out such a replacement, you need to start the car, unscrew the old blockage, open part of the engine, screw back the old blockage, and then add exactly a glass of new one through the filler hole. In this way, no more than 1/3 of the prepared component will be lost.


However, it is important to pay attention to the color of the oil - darker parts can be replaced frequently, but if the oil is too dark, it would be better to replace it again. Procedure for re-replacement Complete replacement is not such a budget option, but it is more effective.

We recommend this when buying a used car, because
