Installation Guide

1. Preparation: Warm the vehicle to operating temperature. Drain the old filter by loosening the mounting bolts and allowing fluid to flow into a catch pan.
2. Remove Old Filter: Carefully detach the old filter, noting its orientation for correct placement of the new unit.
3. Install New Filter: Position the VAICO DEB3CF V25-0921 onto the transmission housing. Tighten bolts to the manufacturer’s torque specification (typically 12–15 ft‑lb). Ensure the filter is seated flush against the mounting surface.
4. Refill Transmission Fluid: Refill with the recommended ATF (Automatic Transmission Fluid) type for your vehicle. Check fluid level using the dipstick or electronic sensor.
5. Test Drive: After installation, perform a short test drive to confirm smooth shifting and absence of leaks.

Maintenance Tips
