How do you put gearbox oil in a vanette cargo?

Topping up the oil in a gear box can be a real pain in the ***, the correct way of doing it is to get under the van. Looking at the gear box there will be two square drive plugs, one on the bottom of the gear box (Sump plug) and one part way up the side of the gear box.


You need to remove the plug on the side of the gear box, you may need to jack the van up to do this. Once you have the plug out lower the van back down on to a ground, they crawl under the van with your bottle of gear box oil.


When you take the top of the bottle you will see that there is a long straw/pipe in the bottle, pull this out and push it into the gear box hole.


Squeeze the bottle to force the oil into the gear box, you know when the box oil level is right when the oil comes back out from the hole.


My advice would be to wear oil clothes and spread some old news paper on the ground under the gear box to catch the oil as it spills out.

Undo the level plug on the gearbox


Put oil in until it reaches this level


refit Plug


Note vehicle must be level so if you jack up one side to get under vehicle then you cannot get level correct.
