So it's actually all dependent how you're going to drive and the outside temperature / weather

#8: Re: Gearbox oil specs Author: kernel, Location: EarthPosted: Fri Jun 10, 2016 4:49 pm ---- Yeah,will use total 75w80. Can i change the oil only using a jack to lift the car? Dont know how (un)accesible is the screw to remove the oil
#9: Re: Gearbox oil specs Author: cainw1, Posted: Fri Jun 10, 2016 7:00 pm ---- Yeah you can I just jacked mine up took wheel off. You can reach under the front of the car without lying under it and undo the drain nut. My advice would be to take the filler nut off first though to make sure you can fill it back up!
