Changing the Gearbox Oil on Fiat Panda

Model: Fiat Panda 169, MK 2 - Years 2003-2012
Part: Transmission fluid

It is recommended to use a 75W-85 gearbox lubricant. Obtain a Torx key and a container to drain the gearbox oil into. Lift the vehicle with a jack, secure it, and remove the bolt (clearly shown in the video) that acts as the plug for the gearbox. Collect the oil in the aforementioned container. Lower the vehicle by removing the jack and fill the gearbox with the previously described oil. Refit the drain hole bolt, and you are done. As you can see, this is a simple operation that anyone can do.
