So your thinking of changing your gear box oil? Well... So was I. I wanted to know if there are any NOTICABLE benefits, only takes about 15 mins and will cost £25 for 2L(you need 1.5L for the 2.0 diesel but can only buy in 1L). Will do a how to later this evening but this thread is to chat about it. What's your opinions?

HOW TO CHANGE THE GEAR OIL...

Changing your gear box oil is thought to be not necessary but i found it to improve smoothness of gear changes especially as i was having some issues changing from 1-2 and 2-3. The part number for my oil was which i got from my local dealership. If you need to know your oil number then contact rusty. I measured how much came about and it was about 1.

I noticed that my oil life is at 38% should I be worried or am I ok?

Hello everyone,

My remaining oil life showed 22% (I have plenty of time till my services) and I've decided to add some oil.
I bought the right one and added about a liter of oil.
I thought that the percentage would change upwards, but it didn't. So I tried resting it. Now it shows a 100% but the MIL light is on.
I read a bit online and found out that in order to really reset it, you must press the brake pedal.

Hi guys,

I noticed oil kind of near the bottom of the engine, lower down than the battery. I think it may be coming from a black pipe that looks like it has a large circlip and metal clip around it. I've attached a photo here and I think it could have been dripping down over time. The car is booked into my local garage tomorrow (Tuesday 17th March) but I wondered if anyone knows what this black pipe is for and should oil be coming out of it?
As always, thanks in advance.

Hi All

So I've owned my car since new and at around 20k miles I had to have the oil completely replaced, this was only about 11 months into owning the car (6 months ago). So now here we are 6 months (and one oil top up) later and the oil life indicator is showing 13% health even though I've only put another 6k miles on the clock...Doesn't seem right to me this...anyone know what's going on here and if I really need to have it replaced again when it hits 0%?

Thanks

Hi guys I got the astra 1.7 cdti as you prob all know the gear box is crap lol,I have read up on changing the gear box oil ... Most people say that the vaux one is shot they basically use the same for power steering ... I was thinking of using thishttp://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=181494589911&alt=web 
it states that it is ok for a 1.7 cdti but I want to be sure before I buy it ... My friend has the m32 box in his corsa and he put this oil in it and he said it feels a lot smoother 

So my Astras booked in on Thursday to have its service and like last year they offered to do the oil and fuel purge for £18, anyone had this done and is it worth it? Doubt I'd be able to tell if it's been done?
