How to Replace the Gear Oil in the Renault Clio II

Model: Renault Clio Clio 2, MK 2 - Years 1998-2005
Part: Transmission fluid

Today, you will learn how to replace the gear oil in the Renault Clio II using Kennol oil. To carry out the replacement, you must: turn off the vehicle, pull the handbrake, pull the bonnet release lever, and open it. To access the oil drain plug, it is necessary to raise the front of the vehicle. Support the car on axle stands and remove the plastic undertray to access the tank plug. Using a gear oil wrench, loosen the tank plug and finish unscrewing it by hand. Position a container for oil recovery and wait for the oil to drain completely. Replace the plug gasket with a new one and before tightening it fully, refill the oil into the gearbox. Next, reattach the undertray and remove the axle stands. Unscrew the filler cap of the gearbox oil and insert a flexible funnel into it, allowing you to pour the oil into the tank easily. Close the filler cap and the front bonnet at the end of the procedure.
