As people who have read some of my posts will know I like Shop4parts a lot. so I would go by whatever they recommended, which is: https://www.shop4parts.co.uk/?name=...to_(2009_to_2011)_Evo_1.2_8v_Transmission_Oil. In fact I'm running both my 2010 1.2 Panda Dynamic Eco and my boy's 2012 Punto 1.4 on it right now. I've also used them for parts like suspension arms, coolant pipe, shock absorbers, road springs etc and have always been very happy with them. There has recently been an interesting thread about gearbox oil and lots of people contributed with varying recommendations but, for me, it's got to be the factory recommended item for transmission oils. I'm not so fussy about engine oil but it does have to meet the recommended Fiat spec.

Simple service parts, engine oil & filter, air filter, pollen filter, spark plugs I often buy from my local Factor.

Off hand I'm sorry I can't tell you that nipple size.

From page 252 of my owners manual, for a 1.2 8v petrol it’s: SAE 75W/85, Fiat 9.55550-MX3 spec
Just changed mine today and used some Comma 75W/80 fully synthetic GL4. May be good, may be bad don’t come at me lol.
