I used Comma ATF AQ3 (5L) from Halfords and topped up with Castrol TQ-D which (1L).

As for Engine oil I went with Castrol GTX (High Mileage), evryone will have there own preferences.

If you have a manual there's no filter and you should use 2.2l of 75w-85 or 75w-90.

If you have an automatic there is an oil filter and I'm sure one of the auto drivers will give you more details.

You will need a filter, it's as far as I can remenber located just infront and below the transmission oil dip stick, it's easier to access that filter than the engine oil one.

ive got the oil filter but thats for the engine ol,there is no filter for changing the auto transmission. is that right?

by **Wildhound** » Thu Jan 10, 2008 2:32 pm

There is. The auto box has a filter of its own.

by **d_andrews78** » Thu Jan 10, 2008 3:07 pm

You will need to get a transmission oil filter mate, if you have any issues you know where I live, so feel free to call round. Might be able to point you in the right direction.

The ATF filter sticks out like a sore thumb - open the bonnet and you'll see if just beside the air filter on the RHS of the engine bay.
