oil level
When the transmission is at 80 ℃
which is a normal operation temperature,
park your car on horizontal ground and
check transmission oil level. Remove
the bolt at the filling inlet of transmission
oil (filling orifice and
examination orifice in the following
figure) and touch oil level in the bolt
orifice with your finger. At this time, oil
level should reach the edge of bolt
orifice. Otherwise, please add BYD
