In this video tutorial, you can see how to change the gear oil on a Fiat Panda 1000 Fire. First, position a plastic sheet under the vehicle to avoid mess; then you will need a container to collect the gear oil that holds 2.5 litres. For the grade, always refer to the vehicle's user and maintenance manual.

A 12mm spanner will be needed to unscrew the plugs. A funnel with a 50 cm tube (maximum half an inch) is also required.

Position the tray under the gearbox. Now unscrew the plug to let the gear oil out. Once the plug is unscrewed and all the oil has drained, clean any impurities from the plug and screw it back in, then proceed to add the new oil using the funnel with the tube (2.5 litres).
