Technical 2011 Twin Air Gearbox oil

[PT500]

At 82,000 miles and incomplete service history, I'm thinking of a major sort through my recent purchase. Starting to gather information before sourcing materials and parts. Rear hatch repair kit already on order. Is there a "How to" anywhere for changing the gearbox oil please?

The Gearbox will have a series number

C513 as an example..

That may well help get specific info

Is yours 5 speed?

There is a little plug at the rear bottom of the differential housing to let the oil out. It's opened with an allen key, think it was 8 mm. The plug to refill is at the front of the gearbox and needs 12 mm allen key. You fill until oil runs out (ca. 1,5 litres). I used motul gearoil that met the specs in my owners handbook for my car (2012 Twinair). Don't remember correctly but called something like syn gear 300.
