Hi, wondered if anyone could help me with the following:
From previous posts (and your help) I can see that to check my gearbox oil I have to remove the front right wheel - then remove the level bung with the 8mm allen key - the fluid shoud then be level with the hole right?
Once I have done that I may decide that it needs topping up - or that I will change the oil completely.
I suppose I just go to the SAAB dealer and ask for "gearbox oil for my 2000 9-5 Aero" to get the right fluid?
To top it up - I just remove the filling bung - at the top and use some sort of funnel and pipe system to pour the oil in?
If I want to empty the gearbox of oil first - I simple remove the drain plug at the bottom and allow the oil to drain out - and then replace the bung and fill from the top again.
Does anyone have to hand - or know how much gearbox oil it will take?
Really appreciate your help - I'd like to know how to do the oil changes on my car myself rather than having to have it serviced everytime.
Thanks again!
