how do I fill the gearbox oil on a vauxhall vectra
To add gearbox oil to a Vauxhall Astra SRI, locate the gearbox filler plug, which is typically situated on the side of the gearbox. You may need to remove a cover or use a socket wrench to access it. Once located, use a funnel to pour the appropriate gearbox oil into the filler hole until it reaches the correct level. Always consult the owner's manual for specific details regarding the type of oil and the correct procedure for your model year.
Firstly look for the drain plug on the bottom of the gearbox. Possibly could also be on the lower side of the gearbox. Open this up and drain the oil out.
The gearbox oil is separate from the engine oil on a 2002 1.4 Astra, and much thicker.
gearbox is the "sealed for life" type. no oil change required.
