andigalls Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 Morning all, ive posted this here as seems to get a lot more trafgic than the c crosser section!! I quick question for you. I'm planning on changing the oil this weekend, no particular reason other than its now at 50k and have done it with all my other cars and have never had box trouble. Question is, where is best to fill the box from as I've read the filler/lever is difficult to locate. Also, can anyone confirm that it takes 2 litres of oil? Lastly, is it best to raise the front of the car to get as much oil out as possible el or will it not really make a difference? Cheers all!! Quote
paul.h Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 For the C Crosser 5 speed manual gearbox 4x2 or 4x4, the oil is Total transmission 75w80 GL4 and is 2.5 litres. The drain plug/flywheel locking pin is at one end of the gearbox (differential) and the filler/level plug at the other (front). The oil should be mixed/shaken before adding so the additives are mixed back in. A syringe is recommended for adding the oil. New plug seals should be used. Torque values for the plugs are not given. For the C Crosser 6 speed manual gearbox 4x4, the oil is Total transmission 75w80 GL4 and is 2.0 litres. The drain plug/flywheel locking pin is at one end of the gearbox (differential, below the driveshaft) and the filler/level plug at the opposite side (front). The oil should be mixed/shaken before adding so the additives are mixed back in. A syringe is recommended for adding the oil. Both plugs are 32 Nm and new seals should be used. Oil change interval is 100k km = 62k miles. Raising the front of the car a bit may help to drain the oil out. Probably best to do it on a warm day or after using the car which may warm it a bit since the oil will probably be a bit viscous and keep the new oil inside before adding so it is warm. I have moved the topic to the C Crosser section otherwise it would just be lost amongst the C5 ones. I have also deleted your other similar post so all replies are together and less work for the moderators trying to keep on top of everything. Quote
