Technical Transmission Oil Change 1.3MJ / 5 Speed

Louie Bee · May 1, 2025

Hi, just checking if I've found the drain and filler plugs on my 2016 Tipo. It's the 5 speed box on the 1.3 multijet.

Would this be the C510 gearbox?

Both are hex plugs 12mm

Front of box - filler?

Is this the gearbox drain plug - 12mm Hex plug on side of box

Similar locations to other FIAT boxes I replaced the transmission oil in, but worth checking what's behind the plug before removing it on a gearbox.

Millage is around 81K and probably on original oil but it's not mentioned in the service schedule in owner’s handbook... after searching the digital Haynes manual I see they now list this oil change under Transmission / Differential and I'm right on schedule… but no pictures / diagrams of where the plugs are on my car

Fill plug is ok.
Drain you painted is gears drain, not fully drain. The fully drain is this:

Thanks!!

Good call. I think I circled the wrong one as there is a bar a bit in the way and my picture is a bit too zomed in. Will be doing the job over the next few days.
