30 CHANGING MANUAL GEARBOX OIL
Position the vehicle on a lift, then undo the filler plug and the drain plug and leave the oil to drain completely.
Clean the drain plug and retighten it to a torque of 1.8 daNm (for the 1108 - 1242 - 1581 versions) and to a torque of 4.6 daNm (for the 1372 Turbo - 1698 TD versions).

Check that the level is around the lower edge of the opening, then clean the filler plug and retighten it to a torque of 2.5 daNm (for the 1108 - 1242 - 1581 versions) and to a torque of 4.6 daNm (for the 1372 Turbo - 1698 TD versions).
If it is excessively difficult to undo the filler and drain plugs, use an extension for tool 1850113000 (for the 1372 Turbo - 1698 TD versions). Percussion tools must be avoided, under all circumstances, as the vibrations could damage the seat belt pre-tensioners.
