How to Change the Gearbox Oil on a Renault Clio

Model: Renault Clio MK 3, Clio 3, Clio III - Years 2005-2013
Part: Transmission fluid

To change the gearbox oil on a Renault Clio, raise the car to gain easier access to the components underneath the engine compartment. Locate the gearbox, unscrew the designated oil drain plug, and collect all the used oil in a suitably placed container. Once all the oil has completely drained, refill with new oil: this should be inserted through the same drain hole using a tube connected to a pump.
