Technical dualogic oil change

[gouki8558]

Hi all,
I'm from Macau, I'd got a Fiat 500 1.4 Lounge w/ dualogic. Since there is no dealer in Macau, I had to bought this car fm Hong Kong dealer. I want to ask what type of transmission oil is used in the dualogic transmisssion gearbox? any recommended? The Hong Kong dealer had sent Tutela CS speed automatic transmission fluid to me. Anyone know if this is the correct fluid for the gear box? since I find in the dualogic mannual mention only consumpt 0.7liter. Is this too little for a gear box?
I'm glad to find this forum for i can get many informative data of my car here. Thanks for solving my problem......

Hi Gouki and welcome!!
Well I would not be so worried about the auto gearbox oil is not really something to get mad for but i will have a check of it every so often is not really using much of it!!
The Tutela CS is the right one has been used by Fiat for a long time as far as I can remember in the late nighties it was also used for Alfas with selespeed so you are ok with it.
I hope this help.
S.

Thanks Sergio!
I'd heard that for a complete changing procedure of transmission oil, I will need TUTELA CAR TECHNYX 75W85 (M/T oil) for the GEAR BOX while the TUTELA CAR CS SPEED (A/T oil)is ONLY for the dualogic hydralic system, just like the transmission oil changing in Alfa's selespeed. Is this true? Since Fiat 500 is very new in Macau (there are only total of 6 running in the street) and we do not have Fiat Service here. I had to search for more information in the web myself in order make correct maintainence w/ my fd in the garage . I had asked Hong Kong dealer and their answer is same as my owner's manual which did not solve my question. Thanks for yr reply!!
This 500 forum really give me many useful informations!

The actual gearbox is a manual transmission, you need the 75w85 in the gearbox not Auto trans fluid, yes it only takes a small amount of oil. The other oil is for the actuating system.
