Oil Change Dilemma: Berlingo 1.6 HDi Diesel Box with 100Kkm, 12 Years – Citroen's Advice?

Best answers LABEL_AI_GENERATED

Should I change the manual gearbox oil in a Citroën Berlingo 1.6 HDi after 100,000 km and 12 years, even though Citroën does not schedule it?

Citroën may not require a gearbox oil change according to the service schedule, but several replies say replacing the manual gearbox oil anyway is a good idea at this age and mileage [#17160272][#17175559][#18110803] One recommendation is 75W-80 oil, about 1.9 liters [#17175559] Another reply says the oil should be changed in all gearboxes and that manufacturers often omit the interval because they expect the car to be replaced after about 10 years or to need an expensive repair [#18110803] For the change, drain the old oil, then refill through the level screw/plug after removing the wheel; a hose and syringe are suggested for filling [#19820885][#19821021]

    I have a dilemma about changing the oil in the manual gearbox. Driven over 100kkm, about 12 years.
    After visiting the site they told me that citroen does not order oil change in the gearbox.

    Has the oil not lost its parameters for such a long time? What do you think about changing the oil in the gearbox?

    There is no need.

    The website recommends 75W-80 and 1.9 liters. greetings
    The website says that it is not exchangeable, but it can not be worse.

    I will dig a fossil out a bit (I'm just looking for information about the oil in the gearbox and coolant), but when I read "that the service does not provide for oil change in the gearbox" it is black blood flooding me.
    Of course, it must be replaced in all types of gearboxes. Not only in the machine, but also in the manual. In old cars, it is said how much to change oil. In new ones they don't give it anymore. The manufacturer does not assume oil change in the box, because it assumes that after 10 years we will buy a new car, or we will do a costly repair at an ASO.

    As they wrote before, the 75W80. I'm pouring LIQUI MOLY and it's fine. I recommend only a long tube and a syringe for replacement. Drain the old oil, then take off the wheel and there you have the screw from the level. Pour there with a hose and a syringe.

    The screw is visible from the bottom. When you take the cover off you will surely see it. :)
