    Question 5 speed gearbox oil change

    have just been quoted $1100 to have the oil changed in my 03 td6 gearbox.
    Car has done 132000ks, and I am going to tow our caravan with it, so thought I would do an oil change.
    Has anyone here done this, and if so, can you advise me on procedure and cost??

    sounds about right for a gbox service, we have a flush thingy that we plug into the boxs and its flushs for us now, the oil would take up alot of that cost

    undo fill plug on the side
    undo drain plug on the bottom
    get covered in oil
    replace drain plug on the bottom
    put oil in the hole left by the fill plug
    replace fill plug on the side.

    easy.

    If you think you're in front on the deal, pay it forwards.
