Locate the automatic gearbox oil reservoir, which is situated beneath an aluminium heat shield. From above, unscrew the oil filler cap; however, you cannot siphon the used oil from here as you cannot insert a suitable rubber tube due to a bend in the pipe just below the cap. Position the car on a ramp and remove the screws securing the aluminium shield.

Move the shield and locate the metal oil connection pipe. Loosen the connection of the pipe, and before removing it, place a container underneath to catch the used oil. After confirming via the visual level of the reservoir that almost all the oil has been extracted, you can re-screw the pipe connection and refit the aluminium shield.

Ensure to use gearbox oil that meets the specifications suitable for your gearbox, and using a tube and funnel, proceed to top up with new oil.
