- In this video I will show you how to change the oil in you manual gearbox.
The procedure covers all of the following models:
Renault Trafic Vauxhall Vivaro / Opel Vivaro Nissan Primastar
My van has the 6 speed manual transmission and is a 2006 Renault Trafic with the 1.9 dci engine
This procedure is recommended for vehicles without any gearbox oil leaks as I simply drain and refill the amount removed from the Gearbox
The amount used should be between 2.7 and 3.0 litres
Hope you enjoy this and find it helpful

Thank for a very straightforward and easy to follow video! I like it when someone gets straight to work without much talking!
Thanks. My 1st priority is to save people time and money so no chit- chatting on my channel😉
Another great video. Thank you. More guys like me will now undertake repair work with good clear knowledge from your channel 👍
Glad to hear this was useful. Plenty more coming 🤜🤛 Thanks for watching and for leaving a comment
Brilliant video as always mate good job 👌.
Thanks Matthew. Working hard on the van. It started as a small MOT repair and turned out into a full restoration. Huge amount of content coming your way 🤜🤛. Febi have sent me 6 large boxes of parts, can't say enough of good things about this company🥰
@@TheKeenMechanic nice one mate I'm looking forward to the content. Its always starts off a small repair and then the problems keep coming 🤣.
Oh god, you will be shocked when you see the rust on this van. 😭
Great video thanks.
Thank you for watching and for sending a message. Much appreciated
Good sraight to point!
Hi and thanks. I try not to waste people's time and just getbstraight to the point. Appreciate your feedback🤝
Gear box oil is done today.Thx so much for video and question how many mounts have engine 1.9 and how replacement and tight with torque I mean Nm.Thx
Good job. Glad you got the job done. Can you explain again what you meant as I didn't understand your question about the engine? Do you mean the engine mounts that hold the engine to the chassis and gearbox? I have never replaced them but had to remove them a few times and they were ok. I torques them by hand with normal ratchet. Just go good and tight and don't overtighten
Hello, thanks for sharing, but in the manual it says to add 2.7l of transmission oil and in the measurement you have done, that amount also appears to be less than 3l. greetings
I have rebuilt the gearbox recently and will show the whole process on the channel. I have also managed to buy an original gearbox dipstick from a closing down dealership and will show the exact process for checking the oil lever and exact quantity from dry and wet fill. Hope this will help many people out there
thank you so much! I'm having trouble engaging first gear and I have to press the clutch 2 times. From what I have been able to verify, it seems that I have a small fluid leak in the pedal master cylinder. I have to look for a DIY to change it and by the way I wanted to take advantage of changing the gearbox oil. Greetings
@@macaffisSpeak soon🤝🏻
Всичко е нагледно обяснено и разбираемо
Thanks
Do you have a tutorial for Renault Master 1998 2.8 dti?
I have only covered the Trafic/Vivaro/Primastar so far. Have a look through my channel as you may find some jobs are similar
Great video,but do I need remove filler plug on the side for drain oil Thx
Hi. No you don't need to remove anything for draining apart from gearbox drain plug. Glad you like it and hope you find it useful🤝
I'm going to give it ago this weekend. Is that a breather you are filling it up through.
Hi
Yes. This is the filler tube.
Best of luck buddy🤝🏻
any idea is it the same on the 1.6 bi turbo?
Hi buddy. Someone else asked me the same question earlier today. I have not worked on the 2.0 or the 1.6 bi turbo but if it has the same gearbox it should be same or very similar. Have a look and see if you can find the top filler plug. Let me know when you find out so I can let others know. Thanks for your message
Is it same on Nissan nv300?(replacing primastar)
It is possible to be same or similar if nv300 use same or similar gearbox
Just use it as a guide🤝
Good Video but don't trust the eye with water bottles. Depending on the model, it's 2,6 -2,7 liters of oil as per service manual. The exact amount is important.
Thank you. Much appreciated
How much is the 1.9?
I would go with 2.65 litres
Where can you get that filler pipe from please and what size is it.
Try Ebay. I just improvised with what I had in the garage
What's the procedure for a 2.0L thanks
If it uses the same gearbox it should be the same. I have never worked on the 2.0. It should be a good guide to keep you in the right. 🤝
What size drain plug socket did you use 8mm?
Yes. It is 8mm. Same as the sump plug. Some people say that if you dont have the tool a door handle square shaft will also work but I haven't tried it as I have the tool. Hope this helps🤝
@@TheKeenMechanic thanks alot mate 👍
@@Sam-ic2bp No problem at all🤝
Unfortunately my van doesn’t have the whole front end removed so this is going to harder to access
Shouldn't be too bad as long as you this as a guide🤝
Thanks , I will let you know how I get on , I have a load transmission rattle at low revs high gear , so basically when it’s working hard , it’s been suggested it’s the torque converter but I’m hoping some nice new oil might buy me some time ….. probably wishful thinking
@@adamjohnston5250 if is sounds bad then it is probably bad. Try it but be prepared for the worst🤝
You don't remove the front of the van!! You remove the passenger side wheel... remove a small plastic cover and the filling hole if there!! This video is bad... he hasn't mentioned about the quantity of 2.6l, (always double check this), as these van's filling hole should never let he new oil overflow, as lots of other cars' / vans' as there is a sticker there to tell you not to do so!! You can even fill the gearbox, from beneath!!!
I bought a manual pump , it looks like a giant syringe with a pipe on the end , I drained the old oil and then removed the plastic plug from underneath and put the hose in and pumped the oil up , was easy but the gearbox rattle is still there …… put it is quieter
That oil you use elf 75/80 in my opinion is the worst oil you can put in a gearbox it to thin few years ago I changed the oil in the gearbox that worked fine I put that oil in gearbox drove for 40 mile and the gearbox seized up when the Rac came I told them that I just changed the gearbox oil so we thought it possibly that is the problem he drained the oil out and put Commer gearbox oil in we Rocked the van back and forth to get it free because it was completely seized but we got it moving started the engine and from then on the gearboxes work fine the problem was the oil which I bought from a Renault dealer. So I thought it's worth mentioning that people don't use that oil
Hi
I drove more than 10k miles and never had any issues. Few years later i was changing driveshafts and lost some of the oil, I wanted to buy the same ELF oil but it was discontinued so I put Mannol 75/90 and no issues.
The one thing I'm not seeing is all I need to know!
How to open that top plug?
You just bypassed that.
Basically I can see everything else for myself, I just don't want to damage this top pipe
Hi. The top filler hose has a cap. Just remove the plastic cap and insert a small funnel to pour the oil. I inserted an extra clear rubber pipe in the filler pipe for better access and to make it easier to film. Hope this helps🔧🔩🤝
@@TheKeenMechanic ok thanks, I took it off alright and it reveals a fairly small 'nipple' for filling.
However..... I accessed the side cap and saw the oil is clean and clear, and was spilling out a little, so no refilling needed.
I have a 2nd gear that rarely engages without cogs scraping and grinding, so was thinking it might be low on oil.... so it's still a mystery.
@@mahatmacote6478 Glad you got sorted. Hope your gearbox is ok with that 2nd gear issue. Best of luck and glad to be able to help with what I can
What is the best oil for gearbox
Buy yourself one of those 12-volt electric pumps,
Do you have a link please? Thanks for the suggestion
@@TheKeenMechanic
set the pump up on a small trolley with a battery, 5 to 6 L container, the pump will come with a 6mm ID pipe, that won't suck oil be there all day throw it away, it's simple the pipe goes into your oil the other end up into hole flick a switch job done, we set up this for doing jcbs, now we use it all the time especially after changing a clutch on cars and vans, but any pump will do not just this one from Amazon, cant remember when we bought our pump from but I was about 20 years ago, I think I seen one in the lidl or Aldi's the other day
@@1971dave the reason I was asking as I bought the little black and red one from lidl and it didn't last. Broke in no time. I used to use it for doing auto gearbox oil changes.
Most diesel / oil pumps can't be used with petrol or gearbox oil, not sure why, can only assume it's corrosive. Based on eBay research. Lol
Thank you.🤝
