Hi all.
I am about to do an Engine Oil change on my 2009 FR2, also Fuel Filter and Air Filter, I would like to be able to do an Auto Gearbox change but I have never done one, I do not have hydraulic ramps, I work on my home drive, can anybody please tell me if its possible to do the Gearbox oil change or do I need specialised tools, If I have to have it done in a garage, has anybody had it done and roughly how much does it cost.
Thanks All.

No special tools needed, other than to get the plugs out.
It's a reasonably simple case of draining out some old (only about 40% comes out), then filling with the same amount of fresh fluid.

The filler plug can be quite tight.

T55 (iirc) bit needed for it.

Level needs to be checked at 60 degrees C
