IS250 Manual Gearbox Oil Change

[robm111]

I’m trying to change the gearbox oil on an 06 Manual IS250.

I can’t for the life of me find either the fill or check plugs. Can anyone help or does anyone have a diagram?

 

many thanks

Hi Rob. Just hang fire, there are a number of fellow to you manual gearbox is250 owners who will soon advise you. How many miles has your car got. How long you had it. Do you know it's history?

105k and I do know history. It’s very stiff when cold between gears and the gearbox oil pan is a bit grimey so perhaps not full so thought worth a go. Thanks

Have you looked on YouTube to see how to do a gearbox oil change? There's loads on the auto but I wonder if the bottom of the pan looks the same on both auto and manual. Does your car have a dip stick for the gearbox? Have you out of interest contacted a gearbox specialist just to get a quote?
