Great work Tom!, a very informative video, keep up the good work! 👍🏼

That’s who I work with the dealership in your video I’ve been 25 years plus with them greetings from scotland 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

thanks for that. its the same gearbox fitted to my 2010 astra . Not the m32 box .Pity they didnt put a drain plug on that little gearbox sump. All clear now thanks again.

Don't take this for gospel but after changing my sons gearbox oil (sump off) I was baffled by the 1.6ltrs of oil that is recommend. Just to make sure I drained all the old oil into a pan (give or take a few drops) and measured it....to my amazement there was only 1ltr in the gearbox!? So anyhows I filled it with 1.6ltrs as recommended, but the car still had crunchy gears?? Sometimes making a wuring sound on downshifts. Now because there is so many grey areas because it's a so called life time oil! Anyway there is a drain plug at the back of the diff just below they line of the drive shaft. This is what is used to drain oil when replacing the clutch so not to loose all of the oil! So my thinking is that's why only 1.6ltrs is recommend....(not for sump off) found out that the reverse light switch is the level. Remove plug and undo, take switch out then fill like you've recommended from the breather until oil comes out were the reverse switch, replace switch etc. Make sure car is on the flat! All can be done from above. Now it took 2.5ltrs Fuchs titan sintofluid 75/80, I did leave the sump pan off for ages previously to avoid cross contamination of oil. Now the car has silky gear changes, the worrying part is though why did it only have 1ltr of gearbox oil in it in the first place...no leaks....nothing in service history to say the car had a clutch replacement and basically a low mileage, low keeper car! (1.2 ltd edition) someone's dodgy practice whilst servicing??? Who knows.....hope this helps the grey areas😎.

Excellent video keep them coming ☺

There is another hole (on the side of the transmission, access from the wheel arch) that you should open. When this hole leaks you have to stop filling with gear oil.

Just drain and refill via the breather hole with a minipump or another suction tool, no need to drop the pan, buy a seal and all that faff.

Just done this and top tip to avoid dropping the pan leave the bolts loose don't take them out all the way then prise the tray off it will drop on the bolts not on the floor 👍

Hi, Great video. I ain't going to take that underpan out. I am going to take out the oil level plug and put in 1 quart of oil through the vent hole. let some of the old oil drain out through the oil level hole. replace all the plugs. Run the Chevy Sonic (car is built like a lego set, I love it) for a while and repeat the process again until I am comfy that most of the oil is now new oil. I got 200,000 miles on the original MT in which I did the aforementioned at 100,000 miles. clutch system is still original except for my throw out bearing (flood waters kill bearings). Why they did not put a drain plug is beyond me.

Hello,congratulation for this video. How many litres go on the gearbox? Can You answer on my question?

Hello, what is the difference between HD 80w90 oil and EP 80w90 oil

If there is someting metallic scrap that can be on the oil pan bottom that cant get out if there is a normal training plug.

Hello, how many key is the transmission plug, thanks

Hi Tom, there is a level bolt on gearbox (behind anterior left wheel), for a right amount of oil. Anyway very usefull video. Bye from italy

Hi I have a Vauxhall Corsa LE and I want to change the transmission oil. Where can I get hold of the gasket?

Does the oil have a measure on the side of the bottle ? I'm looking at doing my corsa soon just gone over 100,950 miles and need to get a couple more 20-30k miles out of it

🔝 level👍🏾

I’ve got an Opel Corsa D 1,2 (2010 model) with an easytronic gearbox. Is it recommended to change the gearbox oil in it?. The owners manual doesn’t mention anything about its oil.

Oil pan not to explode on ya as at Tom's? Just have two bolts at the shorter side of the rectangle stay in with some threads while all the others are gone....only then pry with whatever U want at the gasket mating surfaces....the pan pops only in one direction....more controlable.... the more threads the two bolts are engaged in the housing...the more control U will have. Thanjs for rhe attention...wish ya all nice wrenching

Super conseiller 💯💯

Che gradazione hai usato per il cambio F13 ? 75w80 or 85/90 ??? grazie

Hi mate, great video, do you have the part number for the sump pan? Iv been trying to get a replacement pan but can’t find 1 anywhere! Cheers

Been weirdly looking forward to this video lol, so annoying that they don’t come with a drain bolt

how much did you fill? to the top or you left some air?

Howdy! I have to change the gearbox oil in the Opel Corsa D 1.4 16v from 2007. Is it the same as the one in the video?

Which oil did you use?

Wonder why gearboxes dont have a dip stick?

Good video but the Corsa D as well as other Opel vehicles require 75W-85 gear oil with GL-4 specs. I use Redline MT-85 with Syntix GearMax anti-friction additive. Gearbox feels like velvet...

Is this the same gearbox thats on a 1.6 2008 design manual?

is it the same process to corsa E?

brilliant video thanks 😎 where did you get the sump gasket from

Good upload. Can anyone tell me do these cars only go in to first gear at near coming to a stop or is just my car.

Has thıs gearbox any oil filter ?

Cum verifici nivelul uleiului și pe unde?

Did you notice a difference? What were noticable effects after you changed the gearbox oil?

Great work! Is it roughly the same procedure on the Easytronic version?

Спасибо🤝

how much was gasket from dealership ?

The vrx opc 2.4 liter

Pas de silicone ?

Hi Tom mate, just a question ............. I have a Vauxhall 1.2 easytronic semi-automatic gearbox 2007 (I bought it 2 years ago) so far so good, the clutch had to be changed, and also the actuator was cleaned and lubricated so it works very smooth now, but my question is: is it a good idea for the next service (in August) to ask the mechanic also to change the gearbox oil as I think it was never changed by the 2 previous owners (the car was just 28.400 miles when I go it) it wasn't much used but I just think despite the low mileage it may need also a gearbox oil change? I know sometimes it may be not a good idea to change the oil in the gearbox as it may cause more damage than good, so far I feel the gear changes very smooth without any problem but as said the car is 15 years old and it has been used just very little; so I'd like to know if changing the oil, especially in this type of gearbox won't create problems instead of good results. thanks.

1,6 liters you said. In most cars there is a bolt overflow to be sure for the quantity. This car is an exception?

Did anyone else have to take engine mount off for access to the bolt? As am struggling to gain access with the 11mm spanner.

I have a Corsa 1.3 cdti, when should I change the gearbox oil as I've covered 88.000.

I notice that the old oil was red, and you put the new oil white ???

Hello, kindly assist me, I try moving my car this morning and when I try to get it in gear it won’t even move but the reverse gear would make a very loud noise, but after a few minutes of turning the car back off and going back to try to move it, I put the car in gear before I started the car and it worked just fine. What do you reckon the problem would be ??

Do you torque the bolts down on the sump or just hand tighten ? I have a tendency of over tightening things:((

Does this method also applies vauxhall Corsa e 1.4 ecoflex or is it different.

Nice video but a lot of effort and mess.... My Corsa d has done 160k so far on the original gear box oil. 🙈 My advice, leave it alone unless you genuinely feel something isn't right. Instead it would benefit so many more to focus on the real life blood of a car... The engine oil! Manufacturers service intervals have always been far to long. 👀 Mine has been changed every 8 - 10k max along with a filter and it still runs sweet. 👌🏻

Hello Tom. Corsa D 1.3 2007 manuel,, 215.000 km, Z13DTJ, Transmission Oil 75W80 or 75W90 ? Liter? 2? 3?

Hi tom I need your help Vauxhall Corsa 2001 my engine light come again and again mechanic told me you didn’t drive 1 year that’s why it’s come after some time it will go if you drive regularly

hello , i think the oil is suppose to be lifetime on those cars that why there is no drain plug

Engine type A12XER. Gearbox type F17😎.

did u have to take engine mount off for access cos on mine i did lol

My 08’ 1.0 has done 100K miles. Do you reckon it’s worth changing the oil or is it too late?

How much litre does it take?

How much liters does it take , and what the best type of gear oil 75, 90 or what ?

..OMG.. there is not a drain plug available..?

Wrong procedure change gear oil. You should check the quantity from the hole beside the driveshaft at the left side. When this hole leaks stop the filling. ok?

hey tom, next time just leave two bolt each corner, after prying out diferential cover...

If gearbox oil is low can you just fill it up without draining it all out first ?

must be another way to get oil out

This was a total waste of time and money, the old oil was glowing red! For anyone changing theirs if the oil still has its red colour then you DONT need to change!

Is this similar to the F17 gearbox,

Why not pump the old oil out and save you all this mess and work? I speak against my past self and have to admit that I caused an absolute fricking mess at a garage once with a Corsa D. It all went everywhere, especially inside my cloths, except in the pan that had to catch it, no a single drop went in there. As an alternative to a hard to get by gasket, liquid sealant is your best friend and gives a perfect (perhaps even better) seal. Remember to give it some time to dry. Be absolutely sure about the oil that you put in, although it is not a French car, who sometimes have gearboxes that are so incredibly picky about the viscocity Never overfill, check with the bolt on the side, and be patient, cold transmission old is slow.

Did you notice any difference?

Isn't there a drain plug? Do you have to remove the pan just to drain the oil out? That's poor design

You look like Jesse hahaha
