Any guides for this? Changed the engine on my 1.6 dynamic so obviously had to drain gear box oil. I'm hearing reports of exploding diffs but can't quite get my head round the info and why these problems would arise from wrong gearbox oil... Anyway, what's the best oil to use and best tips for filling? Does the car need to sit level as it's currently up on axle stands, want to test run the new engine before its all back together properly- knowing my luck something's out! Cheers all!!
 
I should point out, I do mean the engine and components are all fitted, just not the rad/front bumper!
 
If you're worried, stick to the recommended FIAT lubricant (see your owner's manual). And yes, to get the level correct (which is when oil starts to spill out of the fill port) then you need the car in a reasonably level position.
 
This is what you need:
