Video tutorial

In this video, see how to change the gearbox oil in a Fiat 500: the one in the video is an Abarth, but operationally it is the same. Lift the vehicle and drain the used oil into a suitable container; dispose of it at an authorised centre.

The YouTuber shows where the drain plug is located, and then the fill plug. Remember to always open the fill plug first to avoid draining the reservoir and then being unable to unscrew the fill plug! Top up with the recommended oil as per the owner's manual (it should be a 75/80), which you can do using a syringe, which you can obtain from Amazon with code B074KQNL2Q at a price of £20.41, with free delivery for Prime customers.

Naturally, you will need to repeat the operation several times, as the reservoir holds about 1.9 litres of oil. Refit the plug, and the operation is complete.
