Today we will write to you how to replace the transmission oil of the Renault Megane III on your own. We open the front hood and the collector cap, place a flexible tube inside and pour a flushing detergent mixed with the used oil that will dissolve the debris and clean the transmission.

We screw the cap onto the collector and start the vehicle for 10/15 minutes before lifting the vehicle and removing the left wheel.

We remove the plastic undertray to access the gearbox nut; using a square key, we unlock the nut and let the liquid drain out. Once the oil has drained out, we close the gearbox and screw the nut back on. We see the white plastic cap of the filling hole and using a flexible tube and a funnel, we add the transmission detergent and oil little by little.

Once filling is done, we close the cap and fill the collector box. We mount the vehicle wheel and lower it back to the ground.
