4.3. Purpose
This manual aims to guide the industry operators in a valid and affirmed procedure of oil replacement for automatic
transmissions: this allows the cleaning of the entire lubricating circuit and a complete removal of the used oil from
the system.
Replacing the lubricant for this type of change is critical and the high incidence of failures for this rather delicate
part proves it.
Despite this, many manufacturers indicate the need for this operation for increasing mileage, or even, in some
cases, overlook this need for the entire life cycle of the car.
The following picture shows the conditions of the sump of an automatic transmission with a covered distance of
about 37000 Km.
Despite the not at all excessive distance covered by the car, it is clearly visible how a substantial amount of sludge
and emery has been formed.
Experience proves, therefore, that it is good practice to perform a periodical replacement, by which it is possible to
smooth the driving with less jerks when gears are engaged and, at the same time, increase the life of the
transmission itself.
The improvement in driving comfort following the process described below is immediately perceived by the driver,
who will be surely satisfied with the work done.
That's why we recommend not to underestimate the importance of regular oil replacement in an automatic
transmission.

19/11/2013 Vers. 1.1 14
6. Preparing the Car
To start the procedure, you need to perform some preliminary operations:
Drive the car for a few minutes so as to bring the gearbox oil at its operating temperature
Raise the car using the appropriate lift
Remove any protective casing
Look for the identification plate, by means of which it is possible to identify the type of transmission you are
going to treat.
Figure 16 - Example of a transmission identification plate
Finally, locate on the transmission the delivery and return of the lubricant to the heat exchanger, the cap
related to oil level check (if present) and the lubricant’s drain (if present).

7. Preparing of the Station
IMPORTANT
THE STATION MUST BE CONNECTED TO AN ELECTRICAL OUTLET PROTECTED FROM INDIRECT CONTACT IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE RULES IN FORCE IN THE COUNTRY OF USE
ENSURE THAT THE MAINS VOLTAGE IS AS INDICATED ON THE RATING PLATE NEAR THE OUTLET
7.1. Preparing the oil
Insert into the new oil tank a sufficient amount of oil specific for ATF (at least 2 lt more than the total quantity
present in the transmission).
Check on the display the total amount of used oil in the internal tank of the ATF, ensuring that there is sufficient
space for oil recovery.
To drain the used oil in the internal tank see para. 12.3
7.2. Preparing the washing fluid
In order to wash the gearbox you need to insert the appropriate fluid into the small back tank of the ATF.
Note. We do not recommend washing very old automatic transmissions (cars with more than 150.000 km).
Remove the small washing fluid tank from the ATF.
Insert the washing fluid mixing it with gearbox oil (ratio 1:1)
Insert the quick coupling of the bottle into its seat.

8. Connecting the station to the car
Note: What follows may vary depending on the type of transmission you are going to treat.
Connect the ATF to the power supply and turn on the main switch.
The first step is to connect the circuit to the charging
station, with which you can make the process of
emptying and refilling the circuit in an easy way.
To do this, use the right fittings provided.
Unscrew the locking screw of the supporting flange of
the oil pipes and disconnect the delivery pipe of the
lubricant to the oil radiator.
Install the fittings in the output of the delivery on the
gearbox and on the connecting pipe of the gearbox to
the heat exchanger.
Connect the junction duct in the entrance to the gearbox
(1).
Insert the rubber connection in the newly inserted
junction duct (2).
Connect the fitting with the oil delivery pipe to the
radiator (3).
Using the fittings you just placed, connect the pipes
respectively to the output of the gearbox (return) and to
the junction of the heat exchanger (pressure).

9. MANUAL procedure
To access the main menu, press any key from the main menu and select the 'Manual' screen:
In the manual procedure the following steps can be performed, one at a time:
Insertion of the washing fluid (A)
Programming and execution of the washing (B)
Emptying of the sump for filter replacement and radiator cleaning (C)
Oil replacement in torque converter (D)
The individual steps are described below.
9.1. Inserting the washing fluid (A)
This operation is to insert the washing fluid into the lubrication circuit of the transmission: the purpose is to facilitate
the removal of sludge and emulsions, which will be trapped by the station filter.
Mix the washing fluid with the transmission oil in the additive bottle (Fig. 5P) positioned on the back of the station
(ratio 1:1).
Insert the quick coupling of the bottle into its seat.
Select the 'Inserting additive' function (A) and move the cursor to 'ON' using the arrow keys. Press ENTER.
The station will begin to insert the washer fluid into the car and you will see the following screen.
The middle icon indicates that at this stage the car must remain switched off, while the scroll bar and the
percentage indicate how much washing fluid has been inserted. Once this phase is completed, the station will
return to the screen containing all manual functions, thus you can proceed with the actual washing.
9.2. Washing (B)
The 'Washing' function (B) allows you to select the time required for the washing of the automatic transmission with
the fluid inserted during step (A). Pressing ENTER with the cursor positioned on the B icon you can go to a screen
where you can change the desired time.

19/11/2013 Vers. 1.1 20
Once you have changed the time as desired with the arrow keys, press ENTER and the display will show the
following screen.
This screen informs the user to turn the car on and to move (for vehicles in which this is possible) the shift lever so
as to allow the washing fluid to penetrate into all ducts of the transmission.
On the right side of the screen a progress bar and a digital clock indicate the elapsing of the washing time.
The screen will also show the temperature of the oil in the automatic transmission.
During this phase the filter on the station will retain all debris removed by the additive.
Once the washing phase is completed, turn off the car.
9.3. Emptying of the cup for filter replacement and radiator cleaning (C)
With this operation, you begin to remove the old oil. The total removal will occur only with the following
operations.
Select icon (C) in the 'Manual' menu. You will get to the screen shown below.
In this phase, the station is set to collect used oil from the vehicle.
Start the engine in order to drain the oil from the sump and stop the engine immediately when from the used oil
ampoule air bubbles appear and the pressure gauge drops towards zero. This indicates that the oil sump has been
almost completely emptied.
The display will show the amount of oil collected from the sump (I) in the 'Old' field, whereas the bar and the other
numerical value (II) represent the total oil in the used oil internal tank.
