How to Replace the Gearbox and Transmission Oil

Model: Honda Civic - Years 1996-2001
Part: Transmission fluid

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 Check the Oil Level on a Jeep Renegade?

To check the oil level on a Jeep Renegade, you need to open the bonnet to access the components inside the engine bay: on the lower left side of the engine block, you will find the dipstick for checking the level. This should be pulled out and thoroughly cleaned with a cloth: once cleaned, reinsert it back into its tube and pull it out immediately after. This way, you can check that the oil mark is between the minimum and maximum levels; finally, you can place the dipstick back in its tube.
