#3: Re: HELP! 180 gearbox oil Author: Steve206, Location: UKPosted: Mon Feb 13, 2012 7:26 am ---- If you take the battery out, there's a breather hole on top of the gearbox, black plastic, that's the easiest. The proper fill point is on the side of the box, but it's a pain to fill up from there. I think it's 2 litres of oil, but you'll have to check. It's the same as the 138 engine, and the 2.0 hdi.

Its ok to do it through the breather if you know it's empty, otherwise you run the risk of over-filling it.

agree with this man, also you can put the correct amount of oil in without overfilling

No, its the FILL / LEVEL hole

Using a oil can is a good idea when re-filling, then you can easily measure how much you have put in.

In our garage we prefer to use 75W90, it resists better to high temperature, it solved many problems... Personally I add X1R friction eliminator to gearbox oil, it works wery good (it's totally unuseful in engine oil, insthead)...
