Gear box oil change

Unread post by C5_Jack »

Hello All

I have a X7 auto with the 2.2 Hdi unity which I am going to service soon.

One of the item on the list is the gear box oil.
I have looked on the Wiki but I cannot find a "How to" change that oil.
Has Citroen produced one?

Also, how can I check if my car used some kind of anti pollution fluid?

thanks for the help

Jack

There’s a few posts on the forum about AM6 gear oil changes Jack I’m sure, but needs to be done in stages as you can’t get all the oil out in one go. It also needs to be warmed to about 60 degrees to be done. EDC5 has done his recently, so will probably be able to provide som first hand advice.

As for your X7, it will definitely have a DPF and will use additive. See my recent post here for some guidance:

The gearbox oil changing has been discussed a few times, here is a link to a thread that covers it: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=58134

I've recently changed the oil in my gearbox (again) last weekend if you have any questions.
