Replacing Gearbox Oil

Part: Transmission fluid

Lift the vehicle on the ramp. Unscrew the oil cap located on the gearbox sump and let it drain into a suitable container. Add the flushing additive and, using the appropriate equipment, carry out a thorough complete wash and then let it drain. Suck out all the remaining fluid in the gearbox for perfect cleaning. Screw the oil cap back onto the sump, replacing the gasket, lower the vehicle to the ground, and top up with the correct amount of the appropriate oil.
