Changing transmission oil is a necessary periodic procedure for Datsun models. These cars are equipped with manual and automatic transmissions, which require timely maintenance.
How to check the oil level in a Datsun box?
As stated in the mi-Do manual, an oil level check should be done every 15,000 km. For this, certain conditions must be met:
- the engine must be turned off;
- the oil in the box must be cool;
- Datsun itself must be placed strictly horizontally;
- you may have to dismantle the air filter (for ease of inspection).
The oil is checked by measuring its level at the marks on the dipstick.
The check itself is elementary - you need to pull the probe out of the box, wipe it thoroughly with a rag, and then insert it all the way back into the gearbox. Then the dipstick is pulled out again and the oil level must be exactly between the marks on it - min and max. If the level is low, you need to add oil.
The oil level must be between the MAX and MIN marks on the dipstick.
What oil is used in a Datsun gearbox?
When replacing, it is necessary to focus on the table below. It contains data on the maximum and minimum temperatures, as well as the viscosity of the gear oil.
Transmission oil must be purchased with reference to this table.
Changing the oil in a manual transmission on a Datsun
The owners of the Datsun on-Do and mi-Do models know that mechanical transmissions are installed on their cars, which are also designed for the Lada Grant. Therefore, there are no more secrets left.
MT on the Datsun is completely similar to that on the Grant.
Timing
According to the maintenance regulations reflected in the manual, the replacement of gear oil in a manual transmission should be carried out upon reaching either the mileage mark of 75,000 km, or 5 years of age. Moreover, for the change it is by no means required to go to the service - with the knowledge and a minimum of tools, you can do everything yourself.
Preparation
As you know, the best time to change the oil is after a long drive, as hot oil is thinner. But, if the trip is not included in the plans, then you just need to warm it up. Next, Datsun must be driven into the inspection hole and prepare the necessary tools:
- capacity (at least 4 liters);
- rags;
- key "17";
- funnel.
The “17” key is perhaps the most important tool in the operation.
How to change the gearbox oil on a Datsun?
First you need to carefully clean the area around the drain hole in the box. After that, you need to put a container for used oil under the gearbox. It is worth remembering that in the manual transmission he-Do and mi-Do about 3-3.5 liters of oil. Therefore, you need a container with a volume of at least 4 liters. If there is protection, it will most likely have to be dismantled.
First, the drain plug is unscrewed.
The oil is drained into a prepared container.
After draining, you need to wait a couple of minutes, then tighten the drain plug. Next, the probe is removed from the gearbox, and a hose with a funnel attached to its upper part is inserted in its place.
Then the probe is removed.
Through it, oil is poured into the box, and its level is checked by a control plug.
The next step is to insert the hose into the filler hole.
After filling the oil in the he-Do checkpoint, its level is checked again by means of a dipstick, after which the latter is inserted into place.
Thus, the oil is poured into the Datsun box.
Oil change on automatic transmissions on Datsun
An oil change in a Datsun 4-band automatic transmission should be carried out exclusively at a service station at an authorized dealer.
Oil changes in automatic transmissions are carried out exclusively in Datsun centers.
It is worth remembering that the operating manual prohibits the use and addition of various kinds of additives to the oil, since in modern, high-quality oils this need is absent, and the use of additives leads to the loss of the right to warranty service from the dealer
It's no secret that all VAZ boxes are created according to the same principle. Therefore, using the example of the Lada Kalina model, one can clearly consider the process of changing the oil in a manual transmission, which is presented in this story:
We have slightly delayed the promised news about the Russian Datsun, but we dare to assure you that it is absolutely not in vain. We have at our disposal some details about the transmission and engine for one of the trim levels of the "state employee" of the revived brand.
Our Datsun specification is based on the Lada Kalina. The Japanese "state employee" will have a wheelbase of 2,476 mm, and its length will exceed the domestic "Grant" by 70 mm, that is, it will be equal to 4,330 mm. The foreign car owes an increase in dimensions to a longer rear overhang - 1060 mm.
It is known that in 2014 AvtoVAZ will start production of two Datsun models. They, as you might guess, will be a sedan (number code 2195) and a hatchback (index 2197). Like any normal car, the Datsun will have several versions, including the "luxury" one. According to the site's own data, the top-end Datsun equipment can get an 8-valve 1.6-liter engine. With almost one hundred percent probability, we can talk about the power of this motor - 87 hp. It will be paired with a five-speed manual gearbox, but more on that below. Since the car belongs to the segment of budget cars (the promised price is within 400,000 rubles), the sedan and hatchback will receive only two frontal airbags in the "maximum speed". ABS will be taken for granted.
In the photo: the interior of the Indian hatchback Datsun Go. We don’t know what it has with the trim levels, but at the premiere they said that the car is equipped with a docking station for a smartphone - that’s such “music”. Our "Datsuns" in the maximum configuration will be equipped with an audio system with a USB port and a pair of speakers.
Let's move on to the transmission. We assume that the 87-horsepower engine will be paired with a VAZ five-speed manual gearbox. But there are no fools in Nissan-Datsun, they understand that in case of competition with Lada cars, which are also in the price category up to 400,000 rubles, their cars simply have to stand out with reliable design solutions ...
In the photo: a drawing entitled "Datsun Russia" with "suggestions to improve reliability." It is easy to guess that we have a schematic representation of the checkpoint.
This photo was posted about a month ago on the blog of the user shchukin_vlad, so we do not exclude that some of you could see it. In the lower left corner, in Russian, are written measures that, apparently, are planned to be taken to improve the checkpoint:
- change the type of synchronizers;
- improve tooth profile;
- use reinforced bearings;
- something about gear ratios.
I remember that in September, in an interview with Jerome Sego, the head of Datsun Russia, he said something about the Japanese DNA that Datsuns would have. Perhaps this is it (reliability, quality, comfort and all things). We are waiting for spring: according to recent data, Datsun will go on sale in April 2014. Well, we wrote about the appearance of the novelty in the material "
Datsun on-Do, me-Do. USING THE JACK
1. Engage 1st gear in a manual gearbox or move the variator control selector lever to the “P” (parking) position, brake the car with a parking brake. Ask the passengers to get out of the car. If you have towed a trailer, disconnect it from the vehicle. To prevent accidental starting of the engine, remove the key from the ignition.
4. Grab the luggage compartment floor cover...
6. Take a jack from the glove box of the luggage compartment ...

|
9. Install the jack leg in specially provided places located on the thresholds of the body near each wheel.
NOTES
The place of installation of the jack under the threshold of the body is indicated by notches. The edge of the threshold should be above the groove of the jack leg.
10. Insert the shank of the wrench into the rectangular hole of the wheel nut wrench.
This is how the jack prepared for work looks like.
12. Turning the jack knob clockwise, expand the jack so that the edge of the threshold enters the groove of the jack leg, which is installed perpendicular to the supporting surface.
13. If you are lifting the vehicle to change a wheel, loosen the wheel nuts by half a turn before lifting. Remove the spare wheel from the trunk. Once the vehicle is lifted, it will not be safe to remove it.
14. Turn the jack knob clockwise to raise the body.
15. Before finally raising the vehicle to the required height with the jack, check once again that the jack has not tilted in any direction.
If possible, do not work under a jacked up vehicle, but if necessary, install additional supports under the body.
Additional supports should only be installed under places specially designed for lifting the car.
Between the support and the car body, place a rubber or wooden gasket. Install the tripod support so that two of its legs are on the side of the vehicle body, and one is on the outside.
16. Stow the jack, tools and luggage compartment floor cover after use.

Cars of the Datsun brand compare favorably with the fact that in the super-low-cost segment they offer a classic automatic. The unit went to Datsuns from the VAZ models Kalina and Grant, which in almost all trim levels have already been transferred to the notorious AMT robot with an ambiguous reputation. The price of the popular Korean Kia Rio and Hyundai Solaris has already skyrocketed, and therefore it is not at all surprising that Datsun cars have a stable audience.
Minimum price
Maximum price
As for the transmission itself, we are talking about a classic automatic transmission with a torque converter from the Japanese company Jatco. The 4-speed automatic transmission once completed its main life cycle in the Nissan Micra, Tiida and Note, after which it found a second life in Lada cars. "Datsuns" got this unit with reconfigured "brains" and better switching smoothness. For Datsun on-DO sedans, the automatic machine is offered starting from the Trust I configuration at a price of 526,000 rubles.
Here is what the manufacturer himself writes about it:
We want you to be able to travel as much as possible with as little fatigue as possible. Choose a Datsun on-DO with automatic transmission, put the selector in the "Drive" position and no longer be distracted by gear changes. The Japanese automatic transmission with overdrive cut-off for more active movement in the stream works reliably and precisely, providing comfort and pleasure on long journeys and fast trips.
From Datsun marketing materials.
In a good way, a time-tested unit should not cause problems for owners. It is only important to change the transmission oil with a certain regularity during operation (we recommend doing this even if the replacement is not provided for by the maintenance regulations). However, on the specialized forums of Datsun owners, there are already reports of breakdowns in the Jatco automatic transmission.
Some users complain about perceptible jerks when switching, others complain about electronics "glitches" in which the machine selector is blocked in position P, and in special cases the machine simply goes into emergency mode and "dies".
In case of serious breakdowns, servicemen prefer to change the entire unit as a whole under warranty. To find out how much such a pleasure costs on the example of an “automatic” on-DO sedan of 2017, we turned to the official dealers of the Datsun brand in Moscow.
As the "officials" told us, the price of a 4-speed Jatco automatic transmission assembly is as much as 215,599 rubles. The waiting period for the unit does not exceed a couple of days (the automatic transmission is in the central warehouse), and for service work on replacing the gearbox, adapting it and refueling with oil, you will have to pay another 29,790 rubles. Total costs - 245,389 rubles!
