Replacing the Gearbox Oil

Model: Fiat Punto MK 1, 176 - Years 1993-1999
Part: Engine oil

This video tutorial explains how to replace the gearbox oil in a Fiat Punto. The vehicle is lifted and secured on a ramp. Using a ratchet wrench, unscrew and remove the plug from the gearbox oil sump; this allows the oil to begin draining. The old fluid must be collected in a suitable container for disposal. Wait for the necessary time until all the old oil has completely drained. Once this operation is complete, you can close the sump plug and proceed to pour in the new oil.
