Hi Car Sifus...

I started changing my own engine oil, plugs etc this year and found it really easy/convenient/economical. Plus gives me a sense of satisfaction - must be that male ego thing - but I actually did most of my own motorbike work years ago.

Now, I'm wondering if it's possible to DIY gear oil change. Some questions :

1. Where the heck are the drain and fill plugs to change gear oil? (Don't Laugh...) I kinda know roughly but I don't suppose there are pics online to show me where these things are.
2. How much gear oil goes into a Kancil 850? What type is best?
3. How do I get the gear oil in? I notice they use a kind of pump for that. Is there any other way?
4. Are there any other things I need to do?

Thanks friends.

change gear oil need to jack up the car wor... how to do?
and also where to buy gear oil... normally service centre supplied by barrel 50L 1...

not tat easy like wat u think of~
jus slight diff then changing engine oil~

I have 2 big jacks (my father in law passed them to me before he passed away)

I saw Castrol gear oil in 1 litre packs.

But you Sifus sound a bit uncertain. Maybe not a good idea to attempt myself. Just that every time I see my mechanic do it, seems like it's not THAT difficult. In any case, better to be cautious.

manual or auto?

since u got 2 big jacks then it'll b easirer~
if u're driving a manual car~
jus locate d gear box n u'll find 2 bid oil sump using size 24 n open it~
but filling d gear oil back 2 ur car a bit hard la~
