When might the gearbox oil need to be changed?

If you need to carry out certain work on the machine, for example, to replace the drive oil seal, then you need to drain the oil from the box. Also at long-term operation car in difficult conditions or at high mileage, you will also need to replace the transmission fluid.

Although the regulations say that the oil is infinite, but this is how it looks on a run of 45,000 km

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

What kind of oil to fill?

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

Level check

If during operation oil smudges appear on the gearbox on the car, then it is necessary to check its level. There is a hole on the front of the crankcase of the box, which is designed to check the oil level in the box itself. It is closed with a threaded stopper. 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 of the hole. If it is less, then it should be topped up. After completing this procedure, if necessary, replace the sealing ring on the plug and tighten it.

Oil change in razdatka Renault Duster

Bridge oil change

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

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

But not adding oil to the transfer case and the bridge is a fairly common occurrence on Renault Duster.
In this case, only 2 cm was missing to the level, this is not scary, but I had to change it to calm down.

Since it is not clear which oil is filled in, I had to play it safe and buy a new one. transmission oil Total Syn Fe 75W-90, oil recommended by Renault, freezes at temperatures below 50 degrees.

Enough to change the oil in the transfer case and Renault Duster bridge 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 drain and flushing of the rear gearbox and transfer case.

• Starting with the rear gear
• You can not lift the car, if you lie on the ground, then there is enough space.
• Unscrew the drain plug with a hexagon (lower)
• Drain the oil, the oil will be quite black, this is normal.
• We twist the cork back, do not forget about the gasket

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

The hose is vacuum, because the walls are not compressed. 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), the hose is taken long so that the oil does not get into the pump or swallow it.

It is also possible to flush the gearbox and completely drain the flushing fluid in this way. The oil drains well from the dispenser, no need to flush.

Pour oil into rear gear convenient with this tool

We push the hose and pour new oil into the filler hole (upper), the oil must be poured to the very edge of the hole.

We twist the top plug on the gearbox and wipe the traces of oil with a rag after replacing

Let's move on to the distribution box

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

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

We find the filler hole, it is also the control one.

The transfer box 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 drain plug of the dispenser is indicated by an arrow.

The oil drains well from the dispenser, no need to flush.

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

Oil was poured everywhere exactly along the edge of the filler hole (even poured out a little).

The control-filler hole of the box is located in the same way as the distributing one, but on the left side.

In the box, the oil did not change, only the level was checked - almost flush with the edge.

Renault Duster- compact crossover built on the platform Renault Logan with a wheelbase increased by 40 mm. The Duster is available with either front or all-wheel drive. The all-wheel drive scheme was borrowed from the Nissan concern, the driver, using a three-position switch, selects one of the operating modes: Auto (automatically connected all-wheel drive), Lock 4x4 (with a locked center clutch) and 4x2 ( front-wheel drive to reduce fuel consumption). The car is equipped modern systems safety: Bosch 8.1 ABS with electronic distribution braking force EBV and system emergency braking EBA. Duster version with diesel engine optionally equipped with ESP stability control with understeer control and ASR traction control.

Trunk volume is 475 liters, and can be increased to 1600 liters when folded back row seats. Car has good performance geometric patency, which is provided by small overhangs and ground clearance: approach angle 30 degrees, departure angle 35 degrees. The Duster's suspension is harsh, but very energy-intensive. She has enough moves for normal cross-country driving. It is obvious that the creators wanted to find a compromise between a car for urban and suburban use, and it looks like they succeeded.

Tuning Renault Duster (Renault Duster)

For the most part, the Duster is produced in fairly budget trim levels, and of course, many owners want to improve and refine this car. You can tune the Duster and improve it appearance: put alloy wheels increased diameter, install off-road tires, hang the body kit in a circle. As for the interior, you can change it for the better: change the instrument panel backlight, cover the interior plastic with vinyl film, and install comfortable seats with lateral support. You can also do engine tuning to improve its performance, although the Duster is not racing car, but it is quite possible to reduce fuel consumption.

Do-it-yourself tuning and repair of Renault Duster (Renault Duster)

Duster is gaining more and more popularity among motorists, and every day there are more and more of us. And the more various improvements and improvements we bring to life. On the site you can find photo reports on the repair, refinement and tuning of the Duster, as well as many useful tips for its maintenance and operation. All materials are presented "in pictures" for ease of perception and clarity.

The replacement should take place according to the regulations every 100 thousand kilometers, because the oil in the Renault Duster gearbox becomes thicker over time, loses its properties, so the friction of the parts increases, they begin to overheat, which leads to faster failure.

To change the oil in the gearbox, you need to raise the car or install it on a viewing hole / overpass. After that, the drain plug is unscrewed. For this, a hex key is used. The cork is marked in the photo. Before unscrewing, it is necessary to substitute a container for mining under the hole, with a volume of at least 2 liters.

Old oil can be darker in color, even black, because over time it can decompose into fractions and change its properties during operation. You also need to immediately stock up with a new o-ring to install it immediately after replacement. Otherwise, a leak may appear in this place.

The gearbox on the Renault Duster is designed in such a way that during the replacement process it will not be possible to drain everything completely without using a vacuum hose. Therefore, it is necessary to take a hose, rest one end against the gearbox, and connect the other to a vacuum pump (or draw air with your mouth). It is necessary to use a hose of sufficient length, and also have time to turn off the pump in time so that oil does not get into it.

It is also important to remember that cold oil has a high viscosity, and it will be problematic to drain it. Therefore, it is better for the Renault Duster transfer case to warm up, for this you need to drive a car for 10-15 minutes at low speed.

Wash the dispenser.

To do this, it is better to use a special flushing fluid. It merges in the same way.

Fill in new oil.

This is best done with a long hose and a funnel. Oil is poured until its level reaches the edge of the drain hole. After that, you need to immediately screw in the cork and wipe the traces of smudges.

To some, this method may seem more complicated, but it allows you to do without a lift and a viewing hole. For this, a large syringe is used. It is sold in a pharmacy, its usual purpose is to wash the ears.

Work order:

Why an oil change is required.

Despite the fact that the manufacturer in the regulations does not give recommendations on changing the oil, arguing that it cannot be replaced during the entire period of operation, in our climate it still has to be changed. It is also necessary to check the oil level, because sometimes there is an underfill at the factory. Usually it is small and non-critical, but over time, as a result of development, it decreases even more.

Choosing oil for the gearbox.

The recommended gear oil is 75W-90 viscosity. The additives used allow it not to freeze at -50 degrees and maintain the required viscosity.

No more than 1 liter of oil is required for replacement.

Gear protection.

Renault Duster rear gear protection is usually not installed at the factory and is offered as an optional accessory. It is installed on vehicles with all-wheel drive. Its body is made of aluminum alloy and is quite compact. But such material is quite fragile. Upon impact, chips and cracks may immediately appear on it. Therefore, it is necessary to protect it from possible damage by stones, bumps and other obstacles.

At the moment, a large number of models from different manufacturers are produced. You can find the most acceptable solution both in the dealer's salon, and in an online store or market.

When choosing, you need to pay attention to the installation method and the thickness of the metal. It should be at least 4 millimeters for optimal protection.

Protection on Renault Duster is installed using the fasteners from the kit. Some protection is equipped with special rubber inserts that serve as shock absorbers between the protection and the body.

To screw the protection on the Renault Duster rear gearbox, you need to assemble the kit, as shown in the figure above. To do this, we insert the bolts into special tubular inserts. Then the whole assembly is screwed into the standard mounts on the gearbox.

The installation of such a model is quite simple, the selected protection of the Renault Duster gearbox, if there is a lift or a viewing hole, can be installed in 5-10 minutes.

There is an opinion that such a method of protection in case of a strong impact can damage the gearbox housing. But, in practice, protection using a different type of fastening can flex strongly upon impact, which also does not prevent damage.

During operation all-wheel drive vehicle there comes a moment when the motorist asks the question - "What's wrong with; liquids in the razdatka and rear gearbox." This issue has not bypassed the dusters.

According to the automaker's statement and maintenance rules, an oil change in the Renault Duster transfer case and the rear gearbox is not carried out throughout the entire operation of the car. 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 especially difficult conditions change even at 20,000-25,000 km.

Replacement schedule

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

1. Upon reaching the mileage at one replacement of a certain mileage. Each motorist will determine their own mileage limit.
2. If traces of smudges are found on the bridge or razdatka. In this case, the fluid level may drop to critical and you will have to top up or change completely.

Oil selection

According to the Renault auto concern, 4x4 Renault Duster oil - ELF TranselfFE 80W-90 should be poured into the transmission. In the gearbox - 0.75 l, in the dispenser - 0.25 l. Those. one package of 1 liter should be enough. But if you make a replacement with your own hands, then it is advisable to stock up on a large volume. overflows are possible. You can, of course, fill in oil similar in characteristics. In this case, only a full shift is performed.

Changing the oil in the Renault Duster gearbox

When changing the fluid in the Renault Duster gearbox, a motorist can go in two ways:

1. Contact a specialized oil change service. They will carry out all work on replacing the fluid in the rear axle and in the razdatka. The total replacement time in the service 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 for an amateur tinkers in the insides of the machine. And if the motorist has the skills and capabilities.

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

Required tools for work on your own:

• Syringe or other filling device;
• Capacity for mining;
• Hex key for cork;

All operations can be performed without lifting the vehicle. But, preferably, the use of a flyover.

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

Drain the oil

First of all, remove the gearbox protection (if any). There are fill and drain holes on the gearbox. Carefully unscrew with a hexagon filler plug and check the oil level with a dipstick.

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

If transmission fluid within the normal range and there was no complete change in the plans, we tighten the plug. This is where the process ends.

For a complete change, you need to unscrew the plug drain hole by substituting a container for used oil. When the liquid is completely drained, you can clean the gearbox with a vacuum pump. The pump will collect the remaining used oil.

flushing

The flushing operation is optional, but desirable. It is imperative to flush the gearbox when changing the brand of oil. Special flushing is sold at a car dealership. The process for draining the flush is identical to the drain described above.

Oil filling

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

Transmission fluid is poured up to the edge of the drain hole. Next, the cork is twisted and the smudges that have arisen are wiped off.

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

Oil change in dispenser

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

Replacement steps:

1. Partially unscrew the protection (rear part);
2. Remove the front right wheel for full access to the technological openings of the transfer case (you may not 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 cork gasket;
6. Pour the transmission through the filler (control) hole;
7. Screw in the fill plug. It is advisable to change the cork gasket;
8. Screw protection;
9. Put the wheel in place.
