Couldn't find anything in "Articles". Anybody done a "how to" on changing the oil in the manual box. What oil and how much of it etc. Bank holiday coming up so might have a go.

Just a warning...

Open the fill plug first, I didn't and then it was a right sod to open.
thought it wasn't going to open at all for me.

I had the oil drained, first, then a bit of panic /pan

Wise words /yes

Always a best practice at any decent garage ...
