Gearbox oil for elise s1

[Motorsport3]

Hello, new to elise ownership. I wanted to ask whether people change their gearbox oil as part of service and if so how often?
I couldn't find any record in my cars service history and i wonder whether i should prioritise.

Cheers, i talked today with a mechanic and he said that the factory didn't suggest gearbox oil change for the s1 but did so for the s2 (both k engined cars) which is very weird. I ll take it back to them to have a look...

I changed mine a few years ago (S1 111s) and it made a difference. I just bought what ever the recommended oil was, nothing fancy. I think it ended up costing about £20.

Make sure you have a nozzle off of a tube of silicone or something like that and a length of hose pipe/tubing so that you can fill it up again easily. You won't be able to get a funnel into the filling hole and you don't want to drop the oil out and then find you can't get it back in again!

I think the service notes mention that the gearbox is "filled for life"

I think you are right about this filled for life guidance for the s1. But was wondering whether people actualy follow it.
