hi MR2

where would you recommend to get gearbox oil changed?
 
i second that MR2 always Spot on! professional and straight to the point advice
 
Thanks very much lads, I'd go to a main dealer to get the gear oil changed, It's a cheap enough job and at least you know they will know the correct grade oil for your box, Not branding back street garages with a bad rep but on this one I know most would just use normal Engine oil. For the sake of maybe an extra few euro per litter of oil and bearing in mind you might only use 2lts or so, Whole job only €60.00 or so same as back street garage price.
 
Tools you need are a filter wrench, tool for removing/replacing sump plug, basin for catching oil, lots of rags for cleaning and container to put oil in after.

Also oil, oil filter, sump plug washer.

Also latex or nitrile gloves to keep waste oil off your hands.

The county council where I live has a travelling "Chemcar" to collect hazardous materials including waste oil, old medicines, weed killers etc.

Note : if you spill oil on your floor don't step in it with footwear you'll be traipsing through your house in.
