Many modern cars are equipped with a manual transmission, including the comfortable city compact car Daewoo Matiz. Caring for the manual transmission and timely renewal of transmission lubrication is the key to long-term use of the car. Otherwise, the vehicle may become completely unusable after serving the warranty period. In addition, breakdowns and lack of oil in the manual transmission can cause loss of control over the car and road accidents.
But by what signs can you understand the need to replace transmission lubricant in Daewoo Matiz? How often should the oil be changed? How to correctly pour in old and fresh technical fluid? How does the procedure for a complete oil change differ from a partial oil change? Every motorist can find answers to these questions in our article.
When do you need to change the oil in a Matiz gearbox?
Matiz transmission oil is replaced on average every 40 thousand kilometers and more often if the car is old and used in extreme conditions. The procedure is carried out strictly with a warm engine; the car will need to be installed on a special groove (or overpass). Regular oil changes in the gearbox of a Daewoo Matiz mechanic are mandatory.
Important! When performing work, it is imperative to clean and degrease the drain. Upon completion, it is recommended to clean the magnetic parts, paying special attention to the threaded elements.
The Daewoo Matiz automatic transmission also needs to be filled with oil, but this gearbox option has its own maintenance features. Firstly, you need to interfere with its work carefully and only if there is such a need. Secondly, the replacement can be partial or complete. Before starting the procedure, the transmission must be warmed up. Performing a complete refill with your own hands is problematic.
Unscheduled oil changes in the gearbox are needed when characteristic signs of malfunction appear. These include growls, sharp jolts, and extraneous sounds. If such phenomena occur, the consumable must be changed immediately. It is recommended to check the condition of the lubricant every week, although many motorists do this less often. Sometimes the oil fluid wears out, loses its original properties, changes smell and color much earlier than the stated time.
Manufacturer's recommendations
the recommended oil “ESSO JWS 3314” was indicated on the dipstick. Most often, drivers do not take this recommendation into account. It is best to choose the products presented above. But this oil also works well and shows good results when working in a Matiz automatic transmission. The manufacturer also recommends following the standards that are checked with a probe. But this is already a public fact that every driver follows, regardless of the model of his car.
A really worthwhile tip is to completely change the lubricant. It is produced to completely displace the old used one and replace it with a new one. This helps improve transmission performance and restore performance to values close to factory specifications. You just need to take into account that for the complete change procedure you will need an oil cooler. The manufacturer does not supply it with the car. In car repair shops, prices are rising every year, and a radiator is purchased once for the entire time.
There is not enough oil in the car's manual transmission
An oil change in a manual transmission in a Daewoo Matiz should be done every 70,000 - 80,000 mileage. However, experienced motorists recommend refreshing the existing technical fluid more often, especially if the vehicle owner is passionate about extreme driving. In addition, the cause of problems in the Daewoo Matiz system may be a lack of oil in the manual transmission.
Signs of insufficient transmission lubricant in the Daewoo Matiz gearbox are the following nuances:
- When starting the Daewoo Matiz engine at idle, the car vibrates noticeably;
- While driving, the car skids and moves jerkily;
- Problems appear when switching gears;
- When driving, you can hear the grinding of spare parts of the manual transmission of Daewoo Matiz.
However, the cause of problems when shifting gears can be not only a low percentage of gear lubricant in a vehicle’s manual transmission, but also the unsatisfactory condition of the technical fluid used.
Signs of aging oil in the Daewoo Matiz gearbox are the following indicators:
- Transformation of an initial viscous liquid into a thick heterogeneous substance;
- The oil changed color to dark brown with rusty specks and lost its transparency;
- Metal particles (chips, chips, etc.) are found in the lubricant itself;
- A persistent smell of burning and soot appears, which can be felt even in the vehicle interior.
However, problems during the operation of Daewoo Matiz can arise not only when there is a shortage or aging of oil, but also when there is too much lubricant in the manual transmission. For this reason, it is recommended to check the amount of transmission lube using a dipstick. This part is found in most modifications of Daewoo Matiz and looks like a flat rod with measuring indicators. To check the oil level in the gearbox, you need to pull out the dipstick, wipe it, put it back into the gear lubricant and check its level on the meter scale. If the technical fluid level is too low or too high, you should change the oil in the manual transmission in Daewoo Matiz.
Checking the oil level and condition
Before changing the oil, the first thing to do is check the level. This is done simply:
- Place the car on a flat surface. Do not turn off the engine.
- Use a white cloth to wipe the dipstick.
If a trace of a bright light shade of red remains on it, then the lubricant life is high. This also signals that all gearbox elements are in good condition. If small black particles and a dark color appear on the rag, it is time to urgently change the oil. Otherwise, in the near future, the expensive automatic transmission will stop working and, most likely, will break down. Also check the oil level using the dipstick. If it is higher than the maximum, then remove the excess. A large amount can lead to carbon deposits on the entire Daewoo Matiz transmission. Also, keep the level low. In this case, the lubricant resource is simply not enough for the car. Try to avoid critical conditions.
Failure to follow simple rules will lead to rapid breakdown of the automatic transmission. And repairs are far from the cheapest. Calling a car service will significantly impact your wallet.
Tools
To carry out the described procedure, you will need a watering can (replaced with a funnel or syringe), clean rags and a container into which the waste liquid will be drained. You also need to take a set of keys and pliers to loosen the fasteners.
Tools
It is necessary to carry out oil change work only after the engine has completely cooled down. Otherwise, you can get a thermal burn, since the material warms up to a temperature of over 100 degrees when the engine is turned on.
When to change and how much oil to fill in a Matiz manual transmission
The frequency of oil changes in the Matiz gearbox is quite interesting. If the car is new, just from the showroom, it makes sense to change the factory oil after running in at zero maintenance (1-2 thousand kilometers). Or change it at 20,000 km, when the production of new rubbing parts is especially intense. After this, the transmission oil change interval increases slightly, and will then be every 40,000 km.
To change the oil on a Matiz with a 0.8 engine, you will need 2.1 liters of new oil , and a 1.0 engine will require 2.4 liters of oil. It is recommended not to save by rounding up to 2 liters, but to add even the missing 100 grams.
Replacement process
The work should be carried out on a lift, inspection pit or overpass, which will make this process as easy as possible. It is advisable to fill the liquid not using hoses and funnels, but with a special syringe and a supercharger. The work is carried out in the following sequence:
- the filler plug is unscrewed;
- the drain plug is unscrewed and the old liquid is drained into a previously prepared container;
- chips are removed from the plug magnet;
- new oil is poured to the required level;
- The filler plug is screwed in.
Changing lubricant in mechanics
The oil in a manual gearbox needs to be changed every forty thousand kilometers. If you bought a new car, you need to change the oil once every twenty thousand kilometers. The change is carried out when the car is warm.
- Place the car on a special ditch.
- Wipe the transmission housing and unscrew the drain plug. You can use a 3/8 square ratchet.
- Place a three-liter bucket under the drain for used grease.
- After draining the oil, clean the magnetic elements. Pay special attention to the carving.
- Clean and degrease the drain.
- Apply sealant, close the plug completely, open the oil filler neck.
- Using a syringe, fill the car oil to the maximum mark. Screw on the oil filler cap.
When to replace the lubricant, choice of oil fluid
Daewoo Matiz is a hatchback equipped with a five-speed gearbox. When changing modes there should be no extraneous sounds, jerks, or sudden jolts. If this happens, you need to change the consumable.
The condition of the lubricant should be checked weekly. With the engine running, remove the transmission dipstick, wipe it with a rag, pay attention to the color. If it is almost black, it means the oil has expired. The oil level should be between the upper and lower marks.
Transmission oil quality by color
Lubricants intended for mechanics are not suitable for automatic machines. The automaker advises using “ESSO JUS 3314” when replacing petroleum products in a Matiz automatic transmission. You can use DEXRON 3. advises using "TRANSMAX-Z". You need to fill approximately 4.78 liters.
For manual transmission, 75w85 or GL-4 is optimal. You can also pour 75w90. 2.1 liters will be enough.
Universal synthetics perform well in domestic conditions. Its advantages are:
- performs its task well in low temperature conditions;
- reduces the noise level of the unit;
- can be used in different temperature ranges;
- resists wear;
- reduces fuel consumption.

Denis, Perm. For the city, Matiz is better than any other car, especially if you still want to save money. After all, this is the most affordable model in the A-class. I bought it on the secondary market for a small amount, and besides, it was the basic version with a 0.8 engine and manual transmission. Yes, the engine is noisy, but in higher gears the acoustic comfort returns to normal.
Anton, Rostov region. I have owned a used Matiz for about a year, and during this time the hatchback has shown its best in terms of reliability. Even the acceleration potential is quite good in city driving, but fuel consumption could be less - sometimes it even exceeds 10 liters, but these are design flaws. Fortunately, many spare parts can be found aftermarket, and Matiz happily supports 92nd gasoline, which is now very rare.
Problems when paying with bank cards
Sometimes difficulties may arise when paying with Visa/MasterCard bank cards. The most common of them:
- There is a restriction on the card for paying for online purchases
- A plastic card is not intended for making payments online.
- The plastic card is not activated for making payments online.
- There are not enough funds on the plastic card.
In order to solve these problems, you need to call or write to the technical support of the bank where you are served. Bank specialists will help you resolve them and make payments.
That's basically it. The entire process of paying for a book in PDF format on car repair on our website takes 1-2 minutes.
