How to Change the Gearbox Oil of the Alfa Romeo 156

Model: Alfa Romeo 156 MK 1 - Years 1997-2007
Part: Transmission fluid

A simple and quick task that will save you time and money at the garage. Using a socket, remove the oil reservoir cap under the engine. Place a container under the cap to collect the used oil. Once all the fluid has drained, you can replace the cap. After this, use a pump with a tube, insert the tube into the hole on the gearbox, and start pumping the new fluid into the gearbox. Now, check all the relevant caps and seal them properly to prevent any fluid leaks.
