'Transmission Fluid' in a manual transmission vehicle is called 'gearbox oil'. On the gearbox, there is a drain plug in the bottom somewhere and a fill plug on the side. You drain, clean the drain plug, replace the copper washer and put the drain plug back in. Fill the gearbox with oil until the oil starts to weep out of the filling hole. Replace the fill plug.

year make model change gearbox oil
Please include 'year make model' in all questions in this category. Thanks.
Manual gearboxes usually require a gearbox oil change every 30,000 to 50,000 mi (48,000 to 80,000 km). Automatic gearboxes usually have gear oil change intervals of between 60,000 to 100,000 mi (96,000 to 160,000 km). It's advisable that you change your gearbox oil filter at the same time as your oil.

oil may be full but you may have a problem --when last oil change oil may be used up and needs changing filter may be clogging--- oil pressure problems--sludge --oil pump --if oil hasnt been changed in awhile have it changed and system flushed before resetting light
2008 model i dont think you can change the oil yourself on this model as it has a sensor that throws the immobilisor on when oil is low ,and it can only be re started by the dealer with their encrypted software ,EUROPEON MODEL ,but if you have the american market model who knows
If it is a screw on type oil filter, apply a film of oil on seal, then screw on. If you want to, go ahead and pour some oil in the filter, in my opinion the oil will circulate faster if there is some oil already in the filter.
Whenever you remove and install a new oil filter you always lose some oil.On this particular model you should expect to lose about half a quart of oil.If you have the capabilities to change the filter then I would definitely recommend it.However, if you can not then it's not going to cause extreme damage to the vehicle, as long as this isn't done all the time.....Hope I could help!!!! rate me accordingly:)
Yes they should have reset the oil change light for you, but most don't, the reset procedure is in the owners manual, it is easy to use, but varies from model to model.
