Hi all I am just after some info on my car I'm thinking of giving it a gearbox oil change in the new year, and was just wondering can anyone please tell me what the correct oil is for this car and how much the gearbox holds,

Many thanks nigel...

Is the car diesel or petrol and which gearbox is it ? The manual gearboxes seem to use ESSO 75W80 EZL 848 or TOTAL 75W80 H6965, ref RTA French manual for the 2.0 hdi C5 (X7) mark 3 and Citroen's manual which also includes the 2.0 petrol.

 

The refill amount will be about 2 litres for a gearbox casing with fins and about 2.6 litres for a gearbox casing without fins. For an overhaul an extra 0.3 litres is needed. Since there is not a level plug, you drain out the old oil from the drain plug (30 or 35 Nm depending on which gearbox) and then add the same amount as removed through the top air vent. So you will need to measure the amount drained out. To access the air vent plug you may need to remove some parts such as the air filter housing, battery, battery tray, gearchange cable - depends on the car. A new drain plug seal should be used.
