Replacement of the gearbox oil for the Opel Meriva 1.4

Model: Vauxhall Meriva MK 2, Meriva B - Years 2010-2017
Part: Transmission fluid

Today we will see the main instructions that will allow us to disassemble and replace the gearbox oil of the Opel Meriva 1.4. First of all, we lift the car and start unscrewing the oil drain plug of the transmission, letting it drain into a container for about ten minutes; we clean the drain plug from any metallic or ferrous residues, as shown in the video. To top up with the new gearbox oil, we will need to use a syringe or a pump, as the access to the fill point is located on the side; we pour the appropriate oil for our transmission.
