Fiat Panda '11 gearbox transmission fluid change

This is a video demonstration that digs into a manual gearbox oil change on a Fiat Panda 1.2 petrol 2011 model.

Be extra careful on how you lift and stabilize your car!

As you see,
there are 2 bolts.
1 one is a female 12mm screw so you need a 12mm Allen or a ratchet with a male 12mm nut.
This is the fill screw.
Your car needs 1.65L of 75W-80 synthetic lubricant.
My manual suggests TUTELA ZC 75 SYNTH, but I couldn't find locally. So I bought another brand BUT at the specified 75W-80 viscosity. So check your car manual before you buy...

The 2nd screw is a small 8mm female screw that is located on the bottom & back of the fill screw. This is the empty screw and it may be tricky to find. You need an 8mm Allen or a ratchet with an 8mm MALE nut.

To pump the lubricant into the gearbox, you will also need a special hand pump.

*****
TEST results after change:

There is a big difference during shifts. It is like you have butter between the gears. Also some small but annoying sounds have gone away. My car has 37.000kms but as I bought it used I'd like to do a change just to be sure. Fiat suggests that you do a change at 40.000kms

Best to warm engine and gearbox first so a short drive helps, check it's not too hot before you drain it

You can fill from above using a longer pipe and funnel, allow gravity to fill it if you have no pump.👍

[jannopilt]

Hi. What is the screw bellow the filling screw ?

[antagonistalion]

Good video. Can you tell me the location of the fuel filter in this car and how to replace. Many thanks.

[ThorRavnsborg]

Thanks, that was helpful. I only needed to make sure where to fill and drain and that was very clearly shown but I guess you could have done that in a little less than 10 minutes. :o)

That oil looked clean no need to change

[zigzag]

Popped up as recommendation. watching this and my thoughts. What the hell are they doing.
From all the years I've been servicing cars I've never known anyone to pump oil from the bottom of the car into a transmission box. 🤔🙈

Do you have any problems with the car since you used a different gear oil?
