There are three ways to change the oil in an automatic transmission.
1. Do-it-yourself partial oil change in automatic transmission.
Before replacing, it is necessary to check the oil level in an automatic transmission, how to do this, we read. The sequence of actions is as follows:
The old oil will mix with the new. If it is necessary to change more than 40-30% of the oil, the procedure should be repeated 3-4 times after the car has traveled 200-500 km.
Advantages of the partial oil change method.
Minuses.
- Higher total consumption if a complete oil change is required.
- As a result, a 100% oil change will not work.

2. Complete oil change in automatic transmission using special equipment.
With this method, a 100% oil change occurs using special equipment. With the help of devices (mainly by Wynns), the oil in the automatic transmission is replaced by the punching method. What does it consist of:
- The tubes of the apparatus are connected to the automatic transmission through the transmission cooling radiator.
- Next, the engine starts.
- New oil is poured in, old oil is drained.
Through the technological window, you can control the color of ATP. When the desired color is achieved, the process can be completed. When changing the oil using this method, it takes about 10-12 liters.
The advantages of changing the oil in an automatic transmission in the service.
- There is no cheating with the amount of ATP poured into your car.
- The process can be monitored visually.
- A complete oil change in the automatic transmission greatly reduces losses in the torque converter, which significantly reduces gasoline consumption.
- As a rule, automatic transmissions after that become “faster”
- All work is done by a professional.
Minuses.
- The technical center will give a guarantee for their work, but not for the normal operation of the automatic transmission after that (the “useful” deposits are washed out).
- The cost of this method is higher than in the first case.

3. Do-it-yourself complete oil change in automatic transmission.
It consists in a complete do-it-yourself oil change in the gearbox:
- It is necessary to warm up the automatic transmission (drive at least 5 km).
- Drive the car into the pit and muffle it.
- Drain as much oil as possible.
- Open the tray.
- Carefully remove the filter.
- Rinse the filter (solvent or gasoline, dry).
- Wash tray.
- Put everything back.
- Fill in as much ATP as spilled out, you can a little more.
- Disconnect the oil drain pipes from the cooling radiator.
- Put hoses on the oil channels that descend into a container of a suitable size for draining the ATP.
- We start the engine, after which, after a few seconds, oil will pour out of the hose.
- We look when the color of the leaking oil becomes like that of fresh oil, it is necessary to turn off the engine.
- We remove the hoses, attach the tubes back.
- We check the oil level.
The advantages of a complete do-it-yourself oil change in an automatic transmission.
- Cheaper.
Minuses.
- We are not professionals.
