I'm looking to change the gearbox oil in my Zafira B, 1.8 petrol, manual.

Can anyone recommend a good quality one to use please?

Thanks very much!

You don't say which 'box? Assuming it's the F35 or F40, then Castrol Syntrans Multivehicle 75W90. My F40 loves it.

How do you plan on removing the old oil,as there is no drain plug?

I hadn't looked into it yet and didn't know that, but I know my brother has a syphon kit. I think he said it's a huge syringe. Thanks
