Recommendation. Before starting adding oil to the gearbox, place the Lada Kalina car on a flat horizontal platform.
Attention! Pointer (probe) oil level in the gearbox is located on the left side of the engine compartment next to the battery. Before checking the oil level in the gearbox after a trip, turn off the engine and wait 5-10 minutes until the oil drains from the shafts and gears into the gearbox housing.
1. Take out the pointer (probe) oil level from the gearbox.
2. Wipe the pointer (probe) oil level in the gearbox with a rag.
3. Insert the oil level dipstick in the gearbox into place until it stops and remove it again. The oil level, determined by the oil film, must be between the marks «MIN» And «MAX» on the index (bottom and top ledges).
4. If the oil level is below the mark «MIN», add oil to the gearbox through the hole under the pointer to the mark «MAX» or slightly higher. Insert the oil level dipstick in the gearbox into place.
