VAUHALL INSIGNIA cdti, Gearbox oil change. UK 

One guy says it takes 7 litres,thought he was a bit out, Thanks for your time young ,top job

Thanks for that bud, i might give that a try later on, something to add however it's advisable to try and crack the fill plug first before draining the fluid off as if the plugs rounded/seized you're stuffed for refilling it. :) Thanks again.

Hi from Chamonix France, and thank you for sharing. I just bought a 2016 Insignia 1.6 136hp and any videos like yours are good for my information.

Cheers for this I wasn’t looking forward to taking my battery out and all the gubbins mine is automatic 2ltr diesel ⛽️ thanks again 👍👍

Of all the tools on his shed wall -When I saw how Small that spanner was I instantly thought he’s gonna snap it😂 Fair play though u didn’t!! Good video

Easier than I thought. Might do mine when the weather is better. Cheers dude for the vid

Great video.must be a nuisance taking that battery tray out.will save a lot of time doing it this way.thanks for sharing 👏

Great way of doing oil change. Great job

Well done for thinking of using the pipe

Thanks for vid very useful information 👍

SO GlobalTIS original opel repair manual stating put 2.2l but residue of approx 0.2 l should remain in the gearbox. Meaning we should put 2l instead of 2.2l ?

The 2ltr cdti has the f40 gearbox in which should have 75w 90 fully synthetic in not semi synthetic. Also you should only put 1.8ltr of fluid in per vauxhall recommendation.

Good job man

hi . nice video with no BS. my astra gtc 2.0cdti sri looks like it has the same engine as this . do you know the model this gearbox is? as mine is hard to get into 1st and reverse so was going to try to add more new oil in . cheers

Thanks for the video. Was it manual or automatic transmission? I have 61 insignia 2012. The drain and top up plugs are on the same place?

What's the tool you used to open the bottom to drain the oil out called please?

Would it be anybetter to use a oil removal pump to put the oil back in ,,does the only in the vauxhall insignia estate ever need changing I've be told no but surely it must lose viscosity can anyone please advice if does or doesn't thanks

Can I ask is it definitely 2.5L of gearbox oil I need or 3.5L?

Opel Zafira c Tourer 2013 How many liters for the gearbox and what caliber of oil

Could show video off location oil presure switch as hard to find

Great video. Just a quick question if you can spare a minute. I recently had my clutch changed and ever since I've been finding it difficult to get it in to 1st and reverse first thing in the morning but gets better when it's warmed up but still isn't the best. Any advice would be appreciated. Cheers

which gearbox is it ? I've pulled 1,9L from my F40 and Opel say it take 1,9L

cheers thank you, just a quick question. My 63 insignia recently came up with a transmission error, lost drive. AA got me home, some advised me to start the car up and see if it engages gears and drove like nothing was wrong till the temp started going up, he has suggested i might not have enough oil in there or the oil is just too dirty hence why when temp goes up i get the error and lose drive. there was no other noises or anything. Going to do an oil change as seems the garages around aren't interested. Any advice anyone?? I dont remember having the oil changed and its now up to 160000miles...

😊

Nice one and thank you.. Just to confirm , does filling to the level of the filler plug hole indicate the oil level is correct? Assuming the car is level of course.

Excellent video John, very creative. One question, what diameter pipe did you use? Thanks.

Down there somewhere. Thanks

So where is the cunning plan bit?

What oil did you use ? and is this a manual or automatic ?

Are you sure there is only one bolt to unscrew because some gearboxes has 2 or 3 drainage holes.

What yours manual?

Anything changed after that job? Gearbox work smoothly?

which gearbox f17-f23 vs f?

Maybe better to put in the amount in what came out than listening to the carshop guy lol

How much horse power is that engine ? While i was changing the o-ring in the oil pump it lost transmission fluid (and I don't know how much) so i want to refill it...btw thanks for your video it's very helpful

This is mentioned nowhere in The service information for the car.. 120k and mine hasn't had a change yet. That I know of.

hi .is it 2 litres to refill .🤔thanks
