Gearbox Oil Top Up

[DaveHerns]

Can anyone tell me how /where to check the oil level on a 2006 2 litre C5 diesel with the 6 speed manual box ? Or is it sealed for life ? Would 75/90 gear oil be Ok for a top up ?

Thanks

Please note these figures are for a 2.2 HDi with 5 speed box.

 

French manual says SAE 75-80W, 1.8 litres in total, no change interval advised but checks every 60,000km or 4 years.

 

There is a drain bolt on the bottom of the box, rearmost flange where the LHS drive shaft exits, and the level check bolt is above this, possibly the rearmost bolt on the 'box.

 

Worth checking to see if it's the same for the 6 speed.
