Every car owner, during operation and maintenance, is faced with the following questions: how much and what to pour into a particular system of units, both the engine and, for example, an automatic transmission or manual transmission. Of course, answers to such questions can be found in the Operating Manuals. But there are times when there is a need to add or change some kind of fluid or oil, but the Manual is not at hand. Therefore, to help such car owners, a table of refueling volumes and brands of fuels and lubricants (fuels and lubricants) of the Daewoo Matiz is provided. But it is important to remember that this table indicates the brands of fuels and lubricants according to the necessary parameters for filling into the systems, and which particular company that produces this or that liquid or oil is poured into the car is a matter for each car owner personally. The main thing is that the fuels and liquids being poured correspond to the parameters specified in the Manual.

But it is important to remember that in addition to knowing the brand of oil, the required amount of oil and fluid in the Daewoo Matiz, it is also necessary to know the parameters of the necessary fuels and lubricants, depending on the climatic conditions of the car.
Volumes and grades of fuel and lubricants in Daewoo Matiz was last modified: April 8, 2016 by Administrator
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.
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 volume transmission lubrication 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 oil aging 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 when operating the 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.
How to properly change the oil in a manual transmission in a Daewoo Matiz?
Preparation for changing the oil in a manual transmission in a Daewoo Matiz is an important procedure on which the success of further processes depends. Preparatory activities include:
- Selection of oil for Daewoo Matiz. Any gear lubricant with a viscosity level of 75W-90 is suitable for filling a manual transmission of a car of the specified make and model. Experienced motorists recommend using Castrol Multivehicle 75W90 technical fluid;
- Preparing a site for placing a Daewoo Mitiz car on it. The plane for placing the car should be as horizontal as possible, without deflections or descents. A garage pit or overpass is best suited for changing the oil in a manual transmission;
- Preparation of tools. List of tools To change the oil in a manual transmission Daewoo Matiz is listed below:
- Screwdrivers and wrenches;
- Pliers;
- Disposal container (basin, canister or bucket);
- Tool for pouring fresh oil (technical syringe, watering can or funnel);
- Thick gloves;
- Clean rags or towels.
Attention! A car enthusiast who decides to independently replace the used oil in a Daewoo Matiz manual transmission should remember safety standards. In particular, you should not begin work on draining waste fluid while the engine is running. Transmission lubricant heated to 120 degrees Celsius can cause deep thermal burns. Therefore, before starting the procedure, it is necessary to stop the engine and give the manual transmission time to cool completely.
The procedure for changing the oil in a manual transmission in a Daewoo Matiz can be complete or partial. Let's take a closer look at each of these options for updating transmission lubricant in a vehicle's manual transmission.
Partial oil change in a manual transmission
Partial renewal of technical fluid is not particularly difficult. In fact, even an inexperienced car owner can cope with this task. Step-by-step instructions for a partial oil change in a Daewoo Matiz manual transmission are provided below:
- Stage 1
- draining obsolete technical fluid:
- The gearbox crater is thoroughly wiped from dirt and dust accumulated on it;
- Unscrew the oil drain plug (using a square wrench);
- The waste liquid is gradually poured into the prepared container;
- Place a container with a total volume of up to 3 liters under the drain hole;
- The magnet is cleaned of metal shavings, then it is recommended to wipe the threaded part;
- The drain plug is screwed in;
- Stage 2 - Filling with fresh fluid. Using a technical syringe (which can be successfully replaced with a watering can or funnel), new transmission lubricant is poured into the control hole of the Daewoo Matiz manual transmission. Pour oil into the manual transmission until the fluid begins to overflow through the sides of the filler neck.
After completing the oil renewal procedure in the Daewoo Matiz manual transmission, all gearbox parts return to their original position. It is recommended to wipe the outer part of the unit from oil residues with a clean rag or absorbent synthetic towels.
Complete oil change in manual transmission
According to regulations, a complete oil change in a manual transmission on a Daewoo Matiz is considered necessary only if general repairs of the unit are necessary or its components are severely clogged. It is not recommended to carry out this procedure yourself, since without special equipment it is impossible to achieve the desired result, and due to the complexity of the structure of the Daewoo Matiz manual transmission, some parts can be easily damaged.
For this reason, a car enthusiast who needs a complete oil change in the manual transmission of a Daewoo Matiz is recommended to contact a Technical Service Station (STS). If this is not possible, it is recommended to involve partners in the work. The procedure for completely updating the technical fluid in the Daewoo Matiz gearbox will be as follows:
- The oil drain pipes leading to the radiator cooling system are disconnected;
- Hoses through which transmission lubricant will circulate are fixed on the open channels;
- A canister for recyclable material is placed under the manual transmission;
- The engine starts;
- The drain and fill plugs are unscrewed, and the old technical fluid flows down one of the pipes, and the new one is poured through the other.
It should be noted that in a service station this procedure will be carried out much more efficiently due to the presence of special technical pumps and qualified personnel.
Changing the oil of a Daewoo Matiz manual transmission is a standard periodic maintenance procedure. This means that the oil must be changed regularly, which, however, can be done.
What you will need:
container for old oil;
a syringe or blower for filling in new oil;
ratchet with a 24mm and 4-point head.
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 oh, and the 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.
How to change the oil in a Matiz box
As a rule, the oil should be changed on a pit, lift or overpass, otherwise you should be prepared for additional difficulties and inconveniences. For the same purpose, it is worth using a syringe or an oil blower, rather than resorting to sophisticated methods of pouring oil using a hose and a funnel from under the hood.
First, unscrew the filler plug using a 24mm wrench. Then place a container for old oil and unscrew the drain plug with a 4-point wrench. While the oil is draining, remove the shavings collected by the drain plug magnet. After this, when the oil stops flowing out, you can tighten the plug back.
Very popular among Russian motorists, the Daewoo Matiz has many advantages. Depending on the configuration, the car is equipped with a manual transmission or automatic transmission. The transmission is reliable, but it still needs to be treated with care and attention.
If irregularities are detected in its operation, measures must be taken immediately. Changing the oil in the Matiz gearbox is considered a procedure designed to “revive” the gearbox.
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.
Changing lubricant in automation
Structurally, the automatic transmission is designed in such a way that it is impossible to interfere with its operation. However, it is sometimes necessary to change the oil in the Daewoo Matiz automatic transmission. It is possible to change the oil in the box partially or completely. Before starting the procedure, the transmission must be warmed up. After this, place the car on the inspection hole. For an incomplete change, you need to drain the car oil and unscrew the drain cap. The transmission pan must be removed. It is advisable to do this with a partner to avoid tilting the tray. Drain off the remaining lubricant and wipe the parts with a dry cloth.
After this, remove and clean the oil filter. If necessary, change it to another one. Next, having returned everything to its place, pour in fresh petroleum product. Fill in the same amount as was drained.
It is more difficult to carry out a complete oil change in a Matiz automatic transmission; it is advisable to carry it out at a car service center. How to change the lubricant in a machine yourself? Remove the pipes that lead to the transmission cooler. Then connect the tubes through which the used consumable will flow into the bucket. While the oil is draining, fill in the updated consumable. The motor should be running at this time. After changing the oil, return everything back.
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. The Castrol company recommends 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.
Recommended gear oil Conclusion
The operating period of the lubricating fluid is limited. As car parts undergo wear and tear during use, they form chips that accumulate in the crankcase pan. Some of the chips stick to the magnetic elements, while some are spread throughout the transmission. Because of this, the unit wears out faster. The oil filter that is installed in the transmission also needs to be changed. A clogged filter element is unable to cope with its task.
Of course, automatic gearbox parts do not wear out instantly. First, the contacting parts are ground in. Chips accumulate in the car oil. If the parts wear out too much, it will be impossible to fix anything. To prevent such developments, it is necessary to periodically replace the oil fluid in the Daewoo Matiz transmission.
Worn transmission gear Remember that you can always contact a car service. This is why they exist to help inexperienced motorists with vehicle maintenance. The disadvantage of using a car service is the financial cost. Not everyone wants to give their money for something that they can do themselves.
When changing the oil, try to use the lubricant recommended by the car manufacturer. If you do not have access to it, pour a product that has similar performance indicators. Filling with the wrong lubricant is unlikely to lead to failure of the internal combustion engine, but it is better not to take risks and use the optimal oil product recommended by the car manufacturer.
Daewoo Matiz is a city vehicle that remains in demand in the domestic automobile market. The first machines became available in the late 1990s. The foreign car supports the installation of automatic and manual transmission. Each of these boxes is distinguished by its reliability. To extend its life, it is advisable to periodically send the Daewoo to a maintenance station.
The need to change the oil in the box
During long-term operation of Daewoo Matiz, the need arises to carry out general diagnostics of the vehicle. As a rule, maintenance is scheduled every 10,000 km. One of the services that the service center can offer is to change the oil in the box with a Matiz.
It is necessary to carry out a fuel replacement procedure if the following symptoms begin to be observed:
- extraneous noise, grinding noise when switching speed modes;
- the appearance of jerks;
- difficulty changing gears.
The frequency of oil changes in the high-speed gearbox is determined by mileage. According to the regulations established for this version of the car, the need to replace the fuel arises at 40,000 km. If the vehicle is frequently used in off-road conditions, the gearbox oil may need to be changed at 20,000 km.
You should periodically check the level of fuel poured into the box. The oil level in the box can be determined based on the dipstick readings. The optimal amount is the middle between the maximum and minimum values.

Main replacement steps
Procedure for replacing transmission fluid:
- When changing the gearbox oil yourself, you need to warm up the car system.
- Daewoo Matiz is installed on an inspection hole.
- The drain hole cover is unscrewed. In this case, you should substitute an empty container for drainage (3-5 liters) in advance.
- There is a magnet on the plug. It attracts all metal debris to itself. The plug with a magnet, the thread of the drain hole must be cleaned.
- The installed pallet must be dismantled.
- The installed filter, depending on its condition, can be replaced or cleaned of dirt deposits.
- The sealant is applied.
- The filler plug is unscrewed.
- Using a filling syringe, add oil to the box. Additionally, refilling may be necessary if, after several kilometers of travel, the fuel level has decreased.
Selecting oil for automatic transmission and manual transmission Matiz
The owner of this car should always choose original oils. This will guarantee that a quality product will be purchased that will ensure proper operation of the gearbox. The new oil must be resistant to changes in external temperatures.
Which oil is better to use? Cars with manual and automatic transmissions require their own fuel class. For example, fuel with a viscosity grade of SAE 75W-85, Castrol Multivehicle 75W-90 is suitable for a manual transmission, and DEXRON II, III for an automatic transmission. These oils do their job perfectly. In particular, they resist wear of the internal components of the Daewoo Matiz gearbox and reduce the operating noise of the working unit.
