So let's go.
What is required to change the oil in an automatic transmission Opel Astra J?
1. Free time, a set of work clothes, a desire to work with your hands and good mood. Remember, without the latter it is better not to enter the garage. No matter how small it may be, but without it in any way.
2. Tool. None special devices not required. Suitable standard set tools, which includes open-end wrenches, screwdrivers and sockets. I think you should have a hammer in the garage.
3. Oil to change. In our case, this original oil GM with part number 19 40 184. Partial replacement requires 4 liters of ATF.
4. Rag or lint-free cloth.
5. Funnel and extension hose.

Oil change interval in automatic transmission Opel Astra J
Recommended change oil in automatic transmission Opel Astra J at least once every 30 - 35 thousand km. This is the optimal replacement interval. But don't blindly rely on numbers. It is important to evaluate the quality of the liquid itself in the box. To do this, it is enough to take a small sample of oil. The oil in the automatic box Opel Astra J should not have a strong smell of burning. If you drop oil on clean white paper, then just a greasy spot should remain. If any foreign particles are formed, then the oil should be replaced. In addition, the oil should be light. The photo below shows the new and old oil drained from the Opel Astra J automatic transmission.
Think, this photo does not require comments. The oil in the box definitely needs to be changed. And timely and correct replacement is a guarantee of a long and reliable operation all in the box as a whole.
Instructions for changing the oil in an automatic transmission Opel Astra J
1. First you need to find appropriate place to get the job done. You can drive the car into a garage with a pit. If there is no garage with a pit, then you can use the flyover. Usually, all garage cooperatives are equipped with a common overpass for repairs. The main thing is that the weather allows and all the tools are at hand. Well, if you are a very serious person and have access to a box with a lift, then oil change in automatic transmission Opel Astra J will seem to you a very pleasant procedure, such as dinner with beautiful girl in a good restaurant ... Oh, I'm diverting the conversation. Let's return to our topic. If you don’t have a pit, a lift, or a flyover, then we just take a couple of ordinary jacks and lift up the front of the car.
2. Before changing the oil in the box must be warmed up. Therefore, we first drive the car for a while, then we drive into the garage and immediately begin to drain the oil from the automatic transmission.
3. It is also necessary to release the lower part of the engine from plastic and metal protections. Recently, car manufacturers like to cover the bottom of the engine with plastic anthers. Definitely, we need to remove this whole thing in order to free access to the box.
4. Turn away drain plug, we supply a container for collecting old ATF and calmly leave for 10-15 minutes to drink tea, smoke, etc. During this time, the oil will drain from the automatic transmission.
5. When the oil has stopped flowing, we wrap the drain plug in place and tighten it tightly. It is necessary to tighten with such a force so as not to strip the thread and at the same time ensure tightness threaded connection.
6. Now you need to get to the control plug. It is located a little higher. We unscrew the drain plug, insert a hose with a funnel and begin to carefully pour new oil into the box. New oil is poured in until it starts to pour out of the control hole. After that, the control plug is screwed into place.
7. Now we need to warm up the oil in the automatic transmission again until operating temperature. We start the engine, get into the car and alternately turn on each position of the automatic transmission lever with a delay of 3-5 seconds. Then we turn off the engine, let it stand for 2-3 minutes and again turn off the control plug. If the oil does not drip, then add again to required level. And we wrap the control plug in place.
8. We wipe the smudges of oil from the automatic transmission and we can assume that the work is done.
That's all! finished. As you can see, the procedure is quite simple and can be done in garage conditions without assistance in just 30-40 minutes.
Opel Astra j is a popular urban mid-size car that combines a spectacular appearance, excellent performance characteristics and ease of service.
Do-it-yourself oil change in an automatic transmission Opel Astra
Oil in automatic transmission Opel Astra J has a high viscosity, so the procedure for changing the oil in the transmission must be carried out after a short trip, without waiting for the oil to cool. This will allow you to self-conduct these service work drain most of the old used oil. Remember also to use lubricants that match your climate region and approved by the manufacturer.
Helpful information
Astra uses compact automatic transmissions, so 4 liters of oil will be enough for a partial lubricant change. Also, to complete this work, you will need a rag, a TORX key, a syringe and a container for draining.
Pay attention to the color of the old used oil. It can be light, chestnut or pitch black. We recommend doing this procedure every 30 - 35 thousand kilometers, which will allow you to guarantee the longest possible operation of your automatic transmission without having to do complex .
At full shift oil must also be changed and transmission oil. Complete oil change in the Opel Astra j does not present any difficulty and can be easily done independently. Remember also that with a complete oil change, it is necessary to drain the used fluid not only directly from the box itself, but also from the torque converter. To do this, after changing the oil, you need to remove the pipe from the torque converter, through which lubricant is supplied to the box. We let the engine run for a few minutes, which will be enough to drive the old oil out of the torque converter. You will need GM/Opel automatic transmission oil. Number: 19 40 184 (Filling volume 4l).
Procedure for changing gear oil
After a short trip, the car must be put on a flyover or a pit.
We remove the metal protection from the transmission, after which we got access to the control and drain hole.
It is necessary to unscrew the control and drain plug.
We substitute a container into which the old gear oil will merge. It takes approximately 10 minutes for the oil to completely drain from the gearbox.
We twist drainer and with the help special key TORX unscrew the filler plug.
You will not be able to pour oil directly from the container, so for this work you need to use a small elastic tube with a funnel.
It is necessary to fill in new oil until it starts to flow out of the control hole. Next, close the filler and control plug.
Let the car run for about 10 minutes. Depress a brake pedal and switch modes of the gear selector.
This completes the oil change in the Opel Astra J automatic transmission. As you can see, carrying out these service work is not particularly difficult. With proper skill, you can complete the entire procedure in 20 to 30 minutes. For replacement transmission oil you don't need to use any special tools and sophisticated equipment.
Changing the oil in an automatic transmission Opel Astra J, selecting fluid, draining and filling with your own hands.
Oil change in automatic transmission Opel Astra J
Changing the oil in the box Opel Astra J is a point of contention for many car owners. Some believe that the liquid must be changed according to the manufacturer's regulations, others more often, and some even argue that the change is advisable only when there are malfunctions in the operation of the machine.
Opel Astra J automatic transmission oil should be changed in any case, without waiting for malfunctions to appear, because this is the main lubrication of the box parts. And how often, and how - depends on several factors.
How often to change the oil
According to the Opel regulations, the Astra automatic oil change should be carried out at an interval of 60 thousand km. But you should take into account the operating conditions of the car, and driving style. In our city traffic, with regular traffic jams, and sudden lane changes, the machine is subjected to increased loads. The climate also has its influence, with a temperature difference of tens of degrees throughout the year. But, perhaps, the aggressive driving style wears out the box most of all: the Astra automatic machine is not designed for multiple sharp accelerations and braking.
As a result of the influence of these factors, the lubricant of the box foams, flakes begin to form, and the oil film disappears. Because of this, the friction clutches rub against each other, overheat and deform. And repairing the Astra box is a difficult and expensive job.
When wondering what to fill, it is worth giving preference original product GM, or substitutes for popular manufacturers. The packaging must have a DEXTRON VI approval.
So, Opel regulates changing the oil in the Astra machine after 60 thousand km, but taking into account our climatic conditions, road realities and driving style, it is recommended to reduce the replacement intervals to 30 - 40 thousand km. Better once again change the fluid in the automatic transmission than repair. In addition, you can change the oil in the Astra machine yourself.
If during the ride you feel that the gearbox is not working as usual (the car is slipping, periodically troit, does not turn on or turns on the gears with jerks), then you need to urgently check your gearbox. These symptoms indicate a likely imminent breakdown. Changing the oil at the Opel Vectra B checkpoint is the first thing the car owner should do in case of malfunctions.
Shocks in the transmission, a drop in power (traction) while driving, the appearance of a signal emergency mode Transmission performance on the dashboard is one of the few signs that your transmission needs maintenance. Often such problems appear in those cars whose owners have never or very long ago made a replacement. MTF oils(fluid for manual transmissions) or ATF (for automatic transmissions). Regardless of whether your vehicle is equipped with a manual or automatic transmission, the symptoms abnormal work boxes will be the same.
Opel Vectra B
From time to time it is necessary to check the level of MTF or ATF in your gearbox. If the car does not warm up in winter, and its operation is carried out on cold box gears, this will also result in further problems. Remember - untimely replacement can lead to costly repairs.

Instructions for changing the oil in a manual transmission
Consider the instructions for changing the MTF in Opel Vectra B cars for F13, F17, F18 and F23 checkpoints. Identification code The gearbox is indicated on the top of the transmission housing.
Tools
To change the MTF fluid in a car, you will need:
- a set of wrenches (in particular, prepare the keys for "13" and "16");
- flat screwdriver;
- thread lock;
- ordinary pharmacy syringe;
- gearbox pan gasket;
- container for waste liquid;
- acetone.
And, of course, you will need oil. For manual transmissions, it is categorically not recommended to use counterfeit oil made in China - this is fraught with further breakdowns in the box. Best fit MTF brands Opel SAE 75W-80 - two liters of fluid are needed.
RAVENOL 75W-90 oil for Opel Vectra gearbox Steps
Getting Started direct replacement oils:
- We take a wrench to "16" and unscrew the bolts securing the engine crankcase protection to the body.
- We remove protection.
- We take the key to “13” and unscrew 3 bolts out of the 10 available on the front of the manual transmission pan (by unscrewing the bolts, the front part will hang down a little, respectively, the liquid will drain in this place). The remaining 7 bolts must be loosened (but not completely unscrewed) for a neat drain MTF.
Pallet Manual transmission Opel Vectra bottom - Next, you need a container to collect the spent consumable item - we take it and substitute it under the pallet.
- Then we take a flat screwdriver prepared in advance - you need to insert it between the pallet and the body of your manual transmission and slightly bend part of the pallet.
- Having done this, MTF will begin to drain out of the box in a thin stream. When it is glass, you need to unscrew the cover completely and wipe it from accumulated dirt and waste fluid, as well as the remnants of the rubber gasket. To do this, use acetone or another solvent.
- Then, from the remnants of the gasket and MTF, we clean the gearbox housing where the pan is attached.
Open checkpoint Opel Vectra - Next, you need to put the cover of the pallet in place. We take a pre-prepared thread lock and a gasket, put it on the cover with the red side and tighten all 10 bolts as tight as possible.
- Now we need to remove the front left wheel. For more convenience, you can also remove the battery and support for it.
- The wheel is removed and now, using the key to “13” (it will be more convenient to use a long ratchet), we unscrew the MTF level control plug in the box, which is located on the left side of the manual transmission housing.
Check hole for manual transmission oil level - Under the hood on the manual transmission we find the breather and unscrew it.
- The MTF is being replaced. To do this, we take a medical syringe and fill in the amount of MTF we need through the breather (up to two liters). In order for the oil not to flow out of the hole, you need to put it on a jack left side your Opel Vectra.
Breather manual transmission Opel Vetra - After wiping the plug, put it back with the key to "13".
- We twist the breather.
- As for cars with the F23 gearbox marking, the MTF is replaced in the same order. Only a few of these manual transmissions have a slightly overstated fluid level in the box as standard. Therefore, during the change of the “consumable”, when the MTF level has approached the mark of the control hole, the plug (which is located under the bottom, on the box) must be screwed in and about half a liter of liquid should be added through the breather. As a rule, control plugs in Opel Vectra B models are marked with a yellow mark.
Instructions for changing the oil in automatic transmission
Replacement transmission ATF V automatic transmission much like changing the oil mechanical box, but there are some differences, which we will consider next.
Tools
In the case of replacing ATF in an automatic box with an Opel Vectra V, a little less tools will be required (in automatic transmission, the fluid is drained through a special hole).
To replace ATF in an Opel automatic transmission, we need:
- set of wrenches;
- new gasket;
- capacity for spent ATF;
- funnel;
- new oil filter.
You can also get a compressor to purge the filter.
Steps
The frequency of replacing ATF in automatic transmissions is not indicated in the operating instructions. In order for the car to “run” longer, experts at service stations recommend producing ATF replacement at least every 40 thousand kilometers.
- First you need to warm up your automatic transmission to 60 degrees.
- Then we drive into a pit or overpass and turn off the engine.
- Then you need to climb under the bottom of the car, find the automatic transmission and unscrew the drain cap on it.
- We are waiting until all the ATF is merged.
Sump with used oil automatic transmission Opel Vectra - Next, using the key to "13", you must carefully unscrew the bolts securing the pan (there will still be oil in it).
- We are waiting for the main part of the ATF (about 4 liters) to merge. Attention! in total, there are about 7 liters of oil in the Opel Vectra automatic box. At home, it is impossible to completely merge it. This is done only when the gearbox is completely disassembled.
- Remove the gasket and install a new one.
New gaskets for automatic transmission Opel Vectra - Then we remove the filter and wash or blow it off the dirt and put it in place, or install a new filter component instead.
- We twist the ATF drain plug, put the automatic transmission pan in place and tighten it with bolts.
- Then into the test hole ATF level insert a funnel and pour into the box about the same amount of liquid as was drained.
- Now we start the engine and, with the brake pedal depressed, alternately switch all speeds with a delay of about 5 seconds.
- Once again, check the fluid level in the box, if necessary, top up.
- You need to make a short trip (up to 10 km) and check the oil level again on the dipstick.
