(T) Gearbox oil

Is this checkable/changable at home or is it a dealer job? Just remembered it should have been done at last service

Get your car on a flat and even surface ..then undo the gearbox oil filler plug and if nowt comes out then top it up until something does unless of course there has to be a specific amount in there in which case then you will be better draining it all out and putting fresh back in I always used to check mine every service and change the oil at 30K which means mine is now overdue

Well mines well overdue. How would I find out if there's a specific ammount that's supposed to be in there? And the type and viscosity of oil?

The amount should be specified in the hand book [I hope ] and use the tetula oil from fiat

Anyone got a pic or diagram of the location of the drain plug? The fill plug is easy to find, but the drain not so...

Just looked and it doesn't show it on Eper but I would have thought that it would be on the diff casing as this is the lowest point on the transmission and the diff is part of the unit and fed by the same oil

Would this be done by Fiat as part of service as and when required?

I've had mine since 43k and now 85kish and i've never done it myself, assumed they would.

Fiat say check transmission oil at 80 thousand Km and this should be done by fiat are they the only people capable of doing it then

nope its not on the diff housing, its on the front of the gearbox approx 3 inches from the bottom. The head is a Hex head (im 90 % sure its the same as the sump plug). Below it is the drain hole which is a normal 10-14mm bolt.

Is this on a 1.6 Roy... I saw that plug on Epper and though that was a bit high to be a drain plug 3" from the bottom and wouldn't drain out any gunge that might be at the bottom of the transmission casing

Found it on the service schedule.
"Check manual transmission oil" on 36k, 72k and 108k

sorted, worry over

Here the picture of the casing on the 1.6

Doesnt look to hard a job to do ..so are you doing it yourself then ??

In a word NO,lol. got full dealer service history so would hope all is well. I've got no reaso to believe oil is low, my stilo drives like a dream, (touch wood) apart from suspension knocking

If it aint broke don't fix it....... or undo and take apart things that work fine !
I learnt that one the hard way.

So your taking on trust that they have and will check it will you pay 10 k into my bank account and I promise not to spend it
