Hello everyone :)

I just bought a stilo abarth with selespeed.
Its just an amazing car:)

Now i just want to give it some new oil for the gearbox for pure service.

1. i have a hard time finding Tutela cs-speed oil, anything else i can use?
2. In the right side of the engine bay there is a container for hydralic oil for the gearbox(correct me if im wrong) i want to change that and change the oil in the gearbox. this is 2 systems right?

3. Those both systems need tutela cs-speed?
4. Then i read about some filters on the gearbox? maybe 2 ?. want to replace them as well.
5. Any place i might be able to order the oil and filters who will ship for Denmark.

I know its a lot of questions and i hope someone got the answer :)
 
The systems are separate. The selespeed oil operates the hydraulic control of the selespeed system.
There is an alternative which I will look up when I get home tomorrow.

The best way to deal with it is to remove the plastic tank. There is a narrow sump that collects the contamination in the oil. Carefully clean with rod and lint free rag. When putting back on reconnect hoses and fill with oil before bolting down so you can tip it a little to allow air to escape from hoses. You may still need to run the bleed procedure though. Make sure you have a ODB2 cable and the MES software available. Easy to do IF you have these.

I did all this in January as I changed the clutch. You probably will not need to do the main gearbox until the clutch needs doing then put the appropriate Synthetic Manual gearbox oil in it.(NOT the Selespeed oil) (remember it is an automated manual not an old style slush box auto so do not put ATF oil in it)

No filters.
