Changing oil in automatic gearbox (3.2 V6)
« on: 16 May 2011, 23:26:50 »
Hi there,

long time no see :D (touch wood)

I have no probs with my omega, but I need to change oil in my auto box. I know how to do it, but I don't have a pit and no facilities.

Do you know how much the vauxhall garage charges for this? What's the "labour time" according to their... documentation?

...or do you think I can manage without a pit? :P

Thanks for any advice.

I done the job with a copy of the maintenance guide, a trolley jack, axle stands, and a willingness to not pay main dealer prices.

Otherwise, its upto you!!   :y

Waiting for a quote from the vauxhall garage. If it's any good I'll go for it, because otherwise I would have to buy all these stands etc. But we'll see ;)

You only need axle stands, which you can probably borrow. Its straightforward, if messy, after that. :y

Maybe also worth while idea to get the Auto trans filter changed at the same time if you're changing the oil, especially if you don't know when it was last done.

If your going the DIY route, here the link which should help you out on that score (Jpat), helpful and cheaper than dealer.
