What and how much oil to fill in the axle and transfer case of Duster 4x4

According to the manufacturer, the oil is transfer case and the bridge cannot be replaced and is filled in for the entire service life of the vehicle.

But underfilling the transfer case and axle with oil is a fairly common occurrence on Renault Duster.
In this case, it was only 2 cm short of the level, it’s not a big deal, but I had to change it to calm things down.

Since it is not clear what kind of oil was poured, I had to play it safe and buy a new one gear oil Total Syn Fe 75W-90, oil recommended by Renault, hardens at temperatures below 50 degrees.

Enough to change the oil in the transfer case and axle of Renault Duster 1 liter.
In this report, it took 1 liter and 50-100 grams, this is when filling to the maximum, to the level of the drain holes and taking into account the complete draining and washing of the rear gearbox and transfer case.

• Let's start with the rear gearbox
• You don’t have to lift the car; if you lie on the ground, there is enough space.
• Use a hexagon to unscrew the drain plug (bottom)
• Drain the oil, the oil will be quite black, this is normal.
• We screw the plug back, don’t forget about the gasket

The oil will not all drain out, so you can use a vacuum hose to drain the oil completely.

The hose is a vacuum hose, because the walls do not compress. We insert one end of the hose into the filler hole of the gearbox, resting the hose against the bottom, the other end of the hose to the vacuum pump (or create a vacuum with our lungs), take the hose long so that oil does not get into the pump or be swallowed.

You can also wash the gearbox and drain the flushing fluid completely using this method. The oil drains well from the transfer case; there is no need to rinse it.

It is convenient to pour oil into the rear gearbox using this device

We insert the hose and pour new oil into the filler hole (upper). Oil must be filled to the very edge of the hole.

We tighten the top plug on the gearbox and wipe off traces of oil with a rag after replacement.

Let's move on to the transfer case

Remove the right one front wheel(passenger side), you can simply turn it out if it is convenient.

The transfer case is located on the passenger side directly behind the wheel. See photo below.

We find the filler hole, which is also the control hole.

Transfer case oil level was normal.

To access the drain plug, you will have to partially remove the protection by unscrewing the six mounting bolts so that the protection hangs only on the front ones. The transfer case drain plug is indicated by an arrow.

The oil drains well from the transfer case; there is no need to rinse it.

Drain the oil and tighten the drain plug. We assemble the protection in reverse order.

The oil was poured everywhere exactly along the edge of the filler hole (it even spilled out a little).

The control and filler hole of the box is located in the same way as the dispensing hole, but on the left side.

The oil in the box was not changed, only the level was checked - almost level with the edge.

And the manual transmission on a Renault Duster car should not be changed throughout the entire life of the car.

Changing the oil in a Renault Duster manual transmission (tool)

You will need:

1. Syringe for filling.
2. Container for used oil.
3. Square for removing plugs.
4. Oil.

Replacement process

1. The car must be driven into a pit and the engine protection must be removed.
2. Unscrew the plug on the hole intended for checking the oil level in the box.

When might it be necessary to change the gearbox oil?

If you need to carry out certain work on the machine, for example, replace the drive oil seal, then you will need to drain the oil from the box. Also during prolonged use of the vehicle in difficult conditions or when high mileage, you will also need to replace the transmission fluid.

Although the regulations say that the oil is endless, this is how it looks after a mileage of 45,000 km

The car can be equipped with a 4-speed automatic transmission and a 5- or 6-speed manual. Consider the process of changing the oil on the manual transmission version.

What kind of oil should I use?

For your information!. Volume – 0.55 and 0.38 liters, respectively.

Level check

If oil leaks appear on the vehicle's gearbox during operation, be sure to check its level. There is a hole on the front of the box housing, which is intended for checking the oil level in the box itself. It is closed with a threaded plug. To check the oil level, you need to drive the car into a pit or raise it, remove the engine protection and unscrew the plug on the gearbox housing. The oil level should be near the bottom edge of the hole. If it is less, then you should top it up. After completing this procedure, if necessary, you need to replace the o-ring on the plug and tighten it.

There are several signs that the lubricant in the gearbox needs to be changed. But not all of them allow us to diagnose the need to change the oil in an automatic transmission. According to international standards, the lubricant is changed every 50-60 thousand kilometers along with the filter. And after such a mileage, car owners turn to a service station, where they are offered to undergo a procedure to replace the lubricant.

In this case, the services offered are conditionally divided into full and partial replacement. A complete change means completely removing used oil, flushing the engine and filling in new oil. A simpler process is partial fluid replacement. It does not require flushing, the old oil is mixed with the new, but at the same time the operation of the automatic transmission becomes noticeably smoother. In some cases, it is preferred, since after a complete replacement there may be problems with proper work Automatic transmission.

The problem may occur as a result of exposure to transmission flush products. If a car has traveled more than 100 thousand kilometers on one oil, then deposits will certainly form inside it, which, when cleaned, can clog the oil channels. As a result, the box may overheat and fail. Therefore, if there is a need for a maximum change, then it is better to make several partial replacements every 300 kilometers. This will not be as effective as a complete oil change in a Renault Duster 4x4 transmission, allowing you to remove only up to 75% of the old oil. In manual transmission, unlike automatic transmission A complete oil change is recommended.

The manufacturer provides a guarantee for the entire life of the automatic transmission when replaced according to the regulations - every 50-60 thousand kilometers. In practice, in most cases this allows you to increase the resource by 150-200%. To carry out the work, it is better to contact a specialized service station that has the necessary equipment.

To change the lubricant in mechanical box You will need a lift or inspection hole and a simple set of tools:

1. Syringe for filling
2. Processing container
3. Tetrahedron
4. Oil 3 liters.

To change the oil in a Renault Duster 4x4 gearbox, you need to follow a few simple steps:

After carrying out the work, it is necessary to check the box after 70-100 kilometers. If there are leaks, the problem must be corrected.

The drain plug gasket has article number 77 03 062 062. The cost of the part is quite low, so when replacing the lubricant, it is better to immediately replace it with a new one.

Why is there a need for change?

Renault Duster 4x4 transmission oil, like any other, is a complex product consisting of a large number of additives to achieve frost resistance, good lubrication characteristics, etc. But under the influence of heavy loads, overheating and wear of parts occurs. This leads to the separation of the lubricant into fractions and sedimentation.

Therefore, for any work, such as changing the oil seal or drive, it is better to carry out complete replacement. To do this you need 3 liters with a viscosity of 75W-80. Renault Duster transmission uses for lubrication different types products. For the gearbox and transfer case, you must use 80W-90.

Typically, the rear gearbox does not cause problems for owners of all-wheel drive versions of the Renault Duster car.

A video about changing the oil in a Renault Duster gearbox is below.

To change the oil in the rear gearbox, it is not necessary to lift the car. You can just lie down on the floor or drive into the inspection hole.

The plug on the gearbox is unscrewed using a hexagon.

The plug is marked with an arrow. Prepare a container for draining immediately

You should immediately place a container (one or more liters) under the used oil. When the oil has completely drained, you will notice that it will be black. This is in the order of things, since a lot of waste products have accumulated in it.

After draining, it is necessary to replace the sealing ring on the drain plug to avoid oil leakage during further operation.

It should be noted that during the process, not all the oil will drain from the gearbox. Therefore, you need to use a vacuum hose to drain it completely. You should rest one end of it against the bottom of the gearbox, and connect the other end to a vacuum pump (you can also create a vacuum with your lungs). The hose must be long enough to prevent oil from getting into the pump itself if it is to be used. This will also help prevent oil from getting into your mouth when the vacuum is created by the lungs.

You can use the hose like this

Flushing

After draining the oil, the gearbox must be washed special liquid, which is sold in the store and is intended specifically for these purposes. This liquid is drained in the same way as oil.

Fill

Using a funnel to add oil

This is done using a hose. A funnel is connected to one end, and the second is inserted into the drain hole. Oil must be filled to the edge of the drain hole. Next, the plug is screwed into place, and traces of smudges are wiped off.

Alternative way

An ear rinse syringe will also work.

An alternative method involves using a powerful syringe. These are sold in pharmacies and used to wash ears.

And you'll have to tinker with the transfer case

After this procedure, you can begin to change the oil in the transfer case.

1. The front wheel (right) is removed. You can also not remove it, but simply turn it all the way to the left.

   The wheel was removed, the control points are visible in the picture

2. Partially remove the protection. You will need to unscrew the 6 bolts that hold it in place.

   Oil drain "front"

3. After draining, tighten the plug, changing the seal on it.
4. Reinstall the protection.
5. Pour new oil through the filler hole. Oil must be poured to the level of the hole, when it begins to pour out of it on its own. For this you can use the same device with which oil was poured into the rear gearbox.
6. Tighten the filler hole, replacing the seal on the plug.

The manufacturer claims that the oil that is poured into the transfer case and rear gearbox during production cannot be replaced throughout the entire life of the Renault Duster vehicle.

As experts note, this rule applies more to European countries where the quality of roads is good. Under domestic operating conditions, the oil in these units has to be changed. There is also an underfilling of oil in the gearbox at the factory. Usually the level of underfilling is small and non-critical.

Oil selection

A change will require about one liter of oil. You need to fill the gearbox with oil up to the level of the drain plug. Also, when carrying out work after draining the old oil, it is recommended to rinse the gearbox.

Conclusions

As can be seen from the above, you can easily change the oil in the transfer case and rear gearbox on your own. The main thing is to adhere to these recommendations.

During operation four-wheel drive vehicle there comes a time when a car enthusiast asks the question: “What’s wrong with the fluids in the transfer case and rear gearbox.” This issue did not pass over the duster drivers either.

According to the statement of the automaker and the maintenance rules, oil changes in the Renault Duster transfer case and rear gearbox are not performed throughout the entire operation of the vehicle. These rules apply mainly to Europe with its excellent roads. In domestic realities, car owners replace the transmission in the transfer case and gearbox on average every 30,000 km. But it all depends on the operating conditions. Some, in particularly difficult conditions, change them at 20,000-25,000 km.

Replacement Regulations

So, when to change the oil in the transfer case and rear axle Renault?

1. When you reach a certain mileage on one replacement. Each car enthusiast will determine his own mileage limit.
2. If traces of leaks are found on the bridge or transfer case. In this case, the fluid level may drop to a critical level and will have to be topped up or changed completely.

Oil selection

According to the Renault automaker, 4x4 Renault Duster oil - ELF TranselfFE 80W-90 - should be poured into the transmission. To the gearbox - 0.75 l, to the transfer case - 0.25 l. Those. One 1 liter package should be enough. But if you make the replacement yourself, it is advisable to stock up on a large amount because... overflows are possible. You can, of course, fill in oil with similar characteristics. In this case, only a full shift is performed.

Changing the oil in the Renault Duster gearbox

When replacing fluid in a Renault Duster gearbox, a car enthusiast can go in two ways:

1. Contact a specialized oil change service. There they will carry out all the work to replace the fluid in both the rear axle and the transfer case. The total service replacement time will be about 30 minutes. The price of the issue will be from 500 rubles to infinity.
2. Carry out the replacement yourself. This method is not for everyone to tinker with the insides of the car. And if the car enthusiast has the skills and capabilities.

In the first case, everything is clear and understandable. All that is required is money and time. In the second case, you will need a set of tools and not crooked hands.

Required tools when carrying out work on your own:

• A syringe or other device for filling;
• Container for processing;
• Hex key for plug;

All operations can be performed without lifting the car. But it is advisable to use an overpass.

The process of changing the oil in the gearbox yourself consists of the following operations.

Drain the oil

The first step is to remove the gearbox protection (if there is one). The gearbox has filler and drain holes. Unscrew carefully with a hexagon filler plug and check the oil level with a dipstick.

Attention: Be careful not to damage the plug gasket. Otherwise you will have to look for a new one.

If transmission fluid within normal limits and there was no plan for a full change, we tighten the plug. This concludes the process.

For a complete change, you need to unscrew the drain plug and place a container for used oil. When the liquid has completely drained, you can clean the gearbox with a vacuum pump. The pump will collect the remaining waste oil.

Flushing

The washing operation is optional, but recommended. It is necessary to flush the gearbox when changing the oil brand. A special wash is sold at a car dealership. The process of draining the rinse is identical to the drain described above.

Filling oil

After completing the previous operations, close the drain hole. Using a large syringe with a curved tip, pour the required amount of liquid through the filler hole. You can use various devices to perform this operation. The most popular and accessible is plastic bottle with a hose of 1-1.5 meters.

Transmission fluid is poured to the edge of the drain hole. Next, tighten the plug and wipe off any leaks that have arisen.

This completes the process of changing the oil in the gearbox.

Changing the oil in the transfer case

Changing the oil in the Renault Duster transfer case itself is simple and does not require special skills.

Replacement steps:

1. Partially unscrew the protection (back part);
2. Remove the front right wheel for full access to the technological holes of the transfer case (you don’t have to remove it, but then access will be difficult);
3. Unscrew the filler and drain plugs;
4. Drain the transmission through the drain hole.
5. Screw in the drain plug. It is advisable to change the plug gasket;
6. Fill the transmission through the filler (control) hole;
7. Screw in the filler plug. It is advisable to change the plug gasket;
8. Screw on the protection;
9. Put the wheel in place.
