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.

How to Reset the Tyre Pressure Warning Light on a Kia Rio?

The tyre pressure warning light displayed on the instrument cluster of the Kia Rio can be reset by inflating the tyres until they reach the recommended pressure value: this value is indicated on the sticker affixed to the driver's door pillar. Once all tyres have been inflated to the recommended pressure, turn on the ignition to check that the light has disappeared: if it is still present, it may be necessary to drive for a few miles, allowing the sensors to work and thus turning off the light.
