Gearbox oil change (Opel Astra G)

1. It is advisable to change the oil immediately after the trip so that the engine and gearbox are warmed up to operating temperature.

2. Park the car on a level surface, set the handbrake and turn off the ignition. Raise the front of the car and place it on stands.

Remove the lower engine/transmission protective panel.

3. Wipe the differential pan and place a container under the pan. Wearing gloves, unscrew the bolts evenly and gradually and remove the pan (see photo). After the oil has drained into the vessel, wipe the split surface and install the pan in place, replacing the gasket.



4. The gearbox is filled through the hole of the reverse switch (see photo). When finished, tighten the switch to the specified torque.
