Gearbox oil change
I'm just doing a gearbox oil change on my 1990 1.6 TD ( JX engine ) and wondered if anyone can confirm how much oil the gearbox takes.
I read somewhere 3.5 litres but I have poured 5 L into it and its still not full ( and yes I do have the drain plug back in ).
Anyone know how much more oil I need to buy?
Any help much appreciated.

Re: Gearbox oil change
Yes Steve van is sitting on a level drive and with 5L poured in its still not dripping from fill hole.
Think I'll have to try the messy/smelly option and measure what came out.

Re: Gearbox oil change
Sorry I can’t give you a answer on the amount .
but it must be very near to the edge of the fill hole .
Aidan will be along directly with the correct answer .... sit tight

Re: Gearbox oil change
Steve - Just for the record 4.5l of stinking oil came out the 1.6 TD (JX) gearbox and when I stuck my finger in the fill hole the 5l I had put in was just bang on the level but wasn't dripping out.
Hope that helps someone in the future.

Re: Gearbox oil change
What type of gearbox are we referring to, mine is fitted with a 4 speed and takes 3.5litres or until it just comes out of the filler plug, I measured what came out of mine and replaced it with the same amount. Just seen the type of gearbox in the previous thread after I drafted mine DOH.

Re: Gearbox oil change
Tony - It was a 5 speed box that I put the 5 litres into.
