The Daewoo Matiz, which is very popular among Russian motorists, has many advantages. Depending on the configuration, a manual or automatic transmission is installed in the car. The transmission is reliable, but it still needs to be carefully and carefully treated.
If violations are found in its work, immediate action must be taken. Changing the oil in the Matiz gearbox is considered a procedure designed to "revive" the gearbox.
Change of lubricant in mechanics
It is necessary to change the car oil in a manual gearbox every forty thousand kilometers. If you bought a new car, you need to change the oil once every twenty thousand kilometers. The change is carried out when the car is warm.
- Install the car on a special ditch.
- Wipe the transmission case, unscrew the drain plug. You can use a "ratchet" that has a 3/8 section in the shape of a square.
- Place a three-liter bucket for used grease under the drain.
- After draining the oil, clean the magnetic elements. Pay special attention to carving.
- Clean and degrease the drain.
- Apply sealant, close the plug completely, open the oil filler neck.
- Using a syringe, pour car oil up to the maximum mark. Screw on the oil filler cap.
Automatic lubricant change
Structurally, the automatic transmission is designed so that it is impossible to interfere with its work. However, an oil change in an automatic transmission Daewoo Matiz sometimes needs to be done. It is possible to change the oil in the box partially or completely. Before starting the procedure, the transmission must be warmed up. After that, install the car on a viewing hole. For an incomplete change, you need to drain the car oil, unscrew the drain cap. The transmission pan must be removed. It is advisable to do this with a partner to avoid tilting the pallet. Drain the remaining grease, wipe the parts with a dry cloth.
Then remove and clean the oil filter. If necessary, change it to another. Next, returning everything to its place, pour in a fresh oil product. Fill in as much as was drained.
It is more difficult to carry out a complete oil change in a Matiz automatic transmission, it is advisable to carry it out in a car service. How to change the lubricant in the machine yourself? Remove the pipes that lead to the transmission radiator. Then connect the pipes through which the spent consumable will flow into the bucket. While the oil is draining, fill in the updated consumable. The motor must be running during this time. After changing the oil, return everything back.
When to change the lubricant, the choice of oil fluid
Daewoo Matiz is a hatchback equipped with a five-speed gearbox. When changing modes, there should be no extraneous sounds, jerks, sudden shocks. If this happens, you need to change the consumable.
The condition of the lubricant should be checked weekly. With the engine running, remove the transmission dipstick, wipe it with a rag, pay attention to the color. If it is almost black, then the oil has run out. The oil level must be between the upper and lower marks.
Transmission oil quality by color Lubricants intended for mechanics are not suitable for an automatic machine. The automaker advises using ESSO JUS 3314 when replacing an oil product in the Matiz automatic transmission. You can use "DEXRON 3". Castrol recommends using TRANSMAX-Z. It is necessary to fill in approximately 4.78 liters.
For manual transmission, 75w85 or GL-4 is optimal. You can also pour 75w90. 2.1 liters will be enough.
Universal synthetics perfectly shows itself in domestic conditions. Its advantages are:
- performs its task well in low-temperature conditions;
- reduces the noise of the unit;
- can be used in various temperature ranges;
- resists wear;
- reduces fuel consumption.
Recommended gear oil Conclusion
The operating period of the lubricant is limited. When worn with use, automotive parts form chips that accumulate in the oil pan. Some of the chips stick to the magnetic elements, some spreads through the transmission. Because of this, the unit wears out faster. The oil filter that is installed in the transmission also needs to be changed. A clogged filter element is unable to cope with its own task.
Of course, automatic transmission parts do not wear out instantly. First, the contacting parts are rubbed. Shavings accumulate in the car oil. If the parts are badly worn out, it will be impossible to fix anything. To prevent such a development of events, it is necessary to periodically replace the oil in the Daewoo Matiz transmission.
Worn gearbox gear Remember that you can always contact a car service. They exist to help inexperienced motorists with vehicle maintenance. The downside of going to a car service is the cost. Not everyone wants to give their money for something that they can do on their own.
When changing oil, try to use the lubricant recommended by the automaker. If you do not have access to it, pour a product that has similar performance. Filling in the wrong lubricant is unlikely to lead to the failure of the internal combustion engine, but it is better not to risk it and use the optimal oil product recommended by the automaker.
Daewoo Matiz is an urban vehicle that remains in demand in the domestic automotive market. The first machines became available in the late 1990s. The foreign car supports the installation of automatic transmission and manual transmission. Each of these boxes is distinguished by its reliability. To extend its period, it is advisable to periodically send Daewoo to the TO station.
The need to change the oil in the box
With long-term operation of Daewoo Matiz, it becomes necessary to carry out general diagnostics of the vehicle. As a rule, maintenance is scheduled every 10,000 km. One of the services that can be offered at the service center is to change the oil in the box to Matiz.
It is necessary to carry out the procedure for changing the fuel if the following symptoms begin to be noted:
- extraneous noise, rattle when switching speed modes;
- the appearance of jerks;
- difficulty changing gears.
The frequency of changing the oil in the speed box is determined by the mileage. According to the auto regulations established for this version, the need to replace fuel occurs at 40,000 km. With frequent use of the machine in off-road conditions, an oil change in the gearbox may be required at 20,000 km.
The level of fuel filled into the box should be checked periodically. The oil level in the box can be determined based on the dipstick. The optimal amount is the middle between the maximum and minimum values.

The main stages of replacement
Transmission fluid change procedure:
- When changing the oil in the gearbox yourself, you need to warm up the automotive system.
- Daewoo Matiz is installed on a viewing hole.
- The drain cover is unscrewed. In this case, you should substitute an empty container for draining (3-5 liters) in advance.
- There is a magnet on the cork. It attracts all metal debris to itself. Plug with magnet, drain thread to be cleaned.
- The installed pallet must be dismantled.
- The installed filter, depending on the condition, can be replaced or cleaned of mud deposits.
- Sealant is applied.
- The filler plug is unscrewed.
- Using a filling syringe, oil is added to the box. Additionally, filling may be necessary if, after a few kilometers of travel, the fuel level has decreased.
The choice of oil in automatic transmission and manual transmission Matiz
The owner of this car should always make a choice in favor of original oils. This will be a guarantee that a quality product will be purchased that will ensure the proper operation of the checkpoint. New oil must be resistant to changes in external temperatures.
What is the best oil to use? Cars with manual and automatic transmissions require their own fuel class. For example, fuel with a viscosity grade of SAE 75W-85, Castrol Multivehicle 75W-90 is suitable for a manual transmission, and DEXRON II, III for an automatic transmission. These oils do their job well. In particular, they resist the wear of the internal components of the Daewoo Matiz gearbox, reduce the noise of the operation of the working unit.
Changing the oil for a Daewoo Matiz manual transmission is a standard periodic maintenance procedure. This means that the oil must be changed regularly, which, however, is quite possible to do.
What you need:
container for old oil;
syringe or supercharger for filling new oil;
ratchet with a head for 24 and 4-sided.
When to change and how much oil to fill in the Matiz manual transmission
The frequency of changing the oil in the Matiz box is quite interesting. If the car is new, only from the salon, it makes sense to change the factory oil after running in at zero maintenance (1-2 thousand kilometers). Or change at 20,000 km, when the development of new rubbing parts is especially intense. After that, the transmission oil change interval increases slightly, and then it will be every 40,000 km of run.
To change the oil on a Matiz with an engine 0.8 you will need 2.1 liters of new oil a, and the 1.0 engine will require 2.4 liters of oil. It is recommended not to save by rounding up to 2 liters, but to add even the missing 100 grams.
How to change the oil in a Matiz box
For good, the oil should be changed in a pit, lift or overpass, otherwise you should be prepared for additional difficulties and inconveniences. For the same purpose, it is worth using a syringe or an oil blower, and not being sophisticated by pouring oil with a hose and a funnel from under the hood.
First, unscrew the filler plug with a 24 wrench. Then substitute a container for old oil and unscrew the drain plug with a 4-sided wrench. While the oil is draining remove the chips that the drain plug magnet has collected. After that, when the oil stops flowing out, you can screw the plug back.
Each car owner in the process of operation and maintenance is faced with such questions as how much and what to fill in a particular system of units, both an engine and, for example, an automatic transmission or a manual transmission. Of course, the answers to such questions can be found in the User Manuals. But there are times when it became necessary to fill in or change some kind of liquid or oil, but the Manual was not at hand. Therefore, to help such car owners, a table of refueling volumes and brands of fuels and lubricants (fuels and lubricants) of a Daewoo Matiz car is given. But it is important to remember that this table shows the brands of fuels and lubricants according to the necessary parameters for filling into the systems, and which particular company producing this or that liquid or oil to fill in a car is a matter for each car owner personally. The main thing is that the fuels and lubricants and liquids to be poured correspond in terms of the parameters specified in the Manual.
The number of oils and liquids to be filled in Daewoo Matiz
| System/unit/node | Lubricant or special fluid | Refueling volume, l. | |
| Engine 0.8 SOHC | Engine 1.0 SOHC | ||

A manual transmission (manual transmission) is equipped with many modern cars, including the comfortable urban small car Daewoo Matiz. Maintenance of manual transmission and timely renewal of transmission lubricant is the key to long-term use of the car. Otherwise, the vehicle may become completely unusable, having served the warranty period. In addition, breakdowns and lack of oil in the manual transmission can cause loss of control over cars and traffic accidents.
But by what signs can one understand the need to replace the transmission lubricant in the Daewoo Matiz? How often do you need to change the oil? How to pour in outdated and fill in fresh technical fluid? What is the difference between a complete oil change and a partial oil change? Every motorist can find answers to these questions in our article.
Not enough oil in the car's manual transmission
An oil change in a manual transmission in a Daewoo Matiz should be done every 70,000 - 80,000 runs. However, experienced motorists recommend refreshing the current technical fluid more often, especially if the vehicle owner is passionate about extreme driving. In addition, the cause of malfunctions in the Daewoo Matiz system may be a lack of oil in the manual transmission.
Signs of insufficient volume gear lubricant in the Daewoo Matiz gearbox are the following nuances:
- When starting the Daewoo Matiz engine at idle, the car vibrates noticeably;
- While driving, the car skids, it moves in jerks;
- There are problems when switching speeds;
- When driving, the rattle of Daewoo Matiz manual gearbox parts is heard.
However, the cause of problems when shifting gears can be not only a low percentage of gear lubricant in the vehicle's manual transmission, but also the unsatisfactory condition of the technical fluid used.
Signs of aging oil in the Daewoo Matiz gearbox are the following indicators:
- The transformation of the original viscous liquid into a thick inhomogeneous substance;
- The oil has changed color to dark brown with rusty inclusions and has lost its transparency;
- In the lubricant itself, metal particles (chips, chips, etc.) are found;
- A persistent smell of burning and soot appears, which can be felt even in the interior of the vehicle.
However, problems during the operation of the Daewoo Matiz can arise not only with a lack or obsolescence of oil, but also with too much lubricant in the manual transmission. For this reason, it is recommended to check the amount of gear lubricant using a dipstick. This part is found in most modifications of the Daewoo Matiz and looks like a flat rod with measured indicators. To check the oil level in the gearbox, it is necessary to pull out the dipstick, wipe it, place it again in the gear lubricant and check its level on the meter scale. If the technical fluid level is too low or excessively high, you should change the oil in the manual transmission at Daewoo Matiz.
How to change the oil in a manual transmission for a Daewoo Matiz?
Preparation for changing the oil in the manual transmission in Daewoo Matiz is an important procedure on which the success of further processes depends. Preparatory activities include:
- Selection of oil for Daewoo Matiz. Any gear lubricant with a viscosity level of 75W-90 is suitable for filling in the manual transmission of a car of the specified make and model. Experienced motorists recommend using Castrol Multivehicle 75W90 technical fluid;
- Preparation of the site for placing a Daewoo Mitiz car on it. The plane for placing the car should be as horizontal as possible, without deflections and descents. A garage pit or overpass is best suited for oil change work in a manual transmission;
- Preparation of tools. List of tools for changing the oil in the manual transmission Daewoo Matiz is listed below:
- Screwdrivers and wrenches;
- pliers;
- Recycling container (basin, canister or bucket);
- Tool for pouring fresh oil (technical syringe, watering can or funnel);
- Tight gloves;
- Clean rags or towels.
Attention! A motorist who decides to independently replace the used oil in the Daewoo Matiz manual transmission should be aware of safety standards. In particular, do not start work on draining the used fluid while the engine is running. Gear lubricant heated to 120 degrees Celsius can cause deep thermal burns. Therefore, before starting the procedure, it is necessary to stop the engine and allow the mechanical gearbox to cool completely.
The very procedure for changing the oil in a manual transmission in a Daewoo Matiz can be complete and partial. Let us consider in more detail each of these options for updating transmission lubricant in a manual transmission of a vehicle.
Partial oil change in a manual transmission
Partial renewal of the technical fluid is not particularly difficult. In fact, even an inexperienced car owner can cope with this task. Step-by-step instructions for a partial oil change in the Daewoo Matiz manual transmission are provided below:
- Stage 1
- draining outdated technical fluid:
- The gearbox crater is thoroughly wiped from dirt and dust accumulated on it;
- The oil drain plug is unscrewed (using a key with a square section);
- The waste liquid is measuredly drained into the prepared container;
- A container with a total volume of up to 3 liters is substituted under the drain hole;
- The magnet is cleaned of metal chips, then it is recommended to wipe the threaded part;
- The drain plug is twisted;
- Stage 2 - filling with fresh liquid. Using a technical syringe (which can be successfully replaced with a watering can or funnel), a new gear lubricant is poured into the Daewoo Matiz manual transmission control hole. Pour oil into the manual transmission until liquid begins to overflow through the sides of the filler neck.
After the completion of the oil renewal procedure in the Daewoo Matiz manual transmission, all gearbox parts return to their original position. It is recommended to wipe the outside of the unit from oil residues with a clean rag or absorbent synthetic towels.
Complete oil change in manual transmission
According to the regulations, a complete oil change in the manual transmission for Daewoo Matiz is considered necessary only if a general repair of the unit is necessary or its components are heavily clogged. It is not recommended to perform this procedure on your own, since it is impossible to achieve the desired result without special equipment, and due to the complexity of the structure of the Daewoo Matiz manual transmission, some parts can be easily damaged.
For this reason, a motorist who needs a complete oil change in a manual transmission for a Daewoo Matiz is recommended to contact a Service Station (SRT). If this is not possible, it is recommended to involve partners in the work. The procedure for a complete update of the technical fluid in the Daewoo Matiz gearbox will be as follows:
- The oil outlet pipes leading to the radiator cooling system are disconnected;
- On open channels, hoses are fixed through which transmission lubricant will run;
- A canister for recyclable material is placed under the manual transmission;
- The motor starts;
- The drain and fill plugs are unscrewed, and the old technical fluid flows down one of the nozzles, and the new one is poured in the other.
It should be noted that in the service station this procedure will be carried out much more efficiently due to the availability of special technical pumps and qualified personnel.
