Hi Everyone first post on PH's.

I have a Vauxhall Zafira DTI Elegance 09/2000 on an X plate. I see Vauxhall do not recommend a time interval for changing the gearbox oil and haven't provided a drain plug.

Does anyone know how to change the gearbox oil easily, any tips?

Thanks for the help.

Oh, the car has done over 101,000 miles cheers.

Welcome to PH ! beer

If there's no drain plug you can pop the driveshaft out and most of the oil will come out that way.

Syphon out of the fill plug. Use OE recommended oil.
