There is a difference of opinion as to what oil to put into the gearbox but I, as advised by "Castrol Classic Oils", use their 20/50 engine oil.
Hello everybody!
How to change gearbox oile? I know that there is an indicator on it to see if the level is ok & a bolt to tap it but how to change whitout taking out the whole engine.
Ole
Out of interest does it need to be Castrol 20/50 or will any 20/50 do?
Hello everybody!
I have an non-synchro gearbox. Thank you all for the reply. Have a great weekend.

How much oil does the gearbox take? I've just ordered some EP90 into my local supplier.
Not meant as a stupid question---is that 1.1 litre 'wet' or 'dry'?. When draining a gearbox (or engine) the replacement quantity is always less than the '1st fill amount' due to not all the oil draining out. I would suggest that 1 litre is all that is required for a re-fill
Touche! However Peter, I have realised that, and I mean no disrespect to any Forum member, a number of our new members are 'dipping their toes into the water', mechanically speaking when they buy a 500 so I try to give as complete an answer as I can---if that offends anybody, than I apologise.
