This guide will illustrate the various steps to maintain the gearbox oil. First, place a flat container under the bolt you will unscrew, as shown in the video, and unscrew it to let all the oil drain out. To add the new oil, you can use a funnel with a long narrow part extended by a flexible tube, so it can reach the refill point, which, as we can see from the image, is not easily accessible.

Pour in the new oil, and before refitting the cap, brush it for safety and check for any metallic residues.

How to Remove the Rear Seat of a Hyundai Tucson?

To remove the rear seat of a Hyundai Tucson, follow these steps. Start by moving the front seats to their most forward position to gain space. Next, locate the release lever on the underside of the rear seat, near the floor. Press this lever down while pulling the seat upwards to unlock it from the anchor pins. Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat. Be careful of any electrical cables or components that may be connected to the seat during removal. Once the rear seat is removed, the disassembly is complete.
