Didn't replace mine, and it doesn't leak. The washers are aluminium, which can be used again, if not over compressed the first time. Hyundai Ioniq 5 Ultimate. The replacement for the SE.

I did mine over the weekend and thought I'd share my observations for others in the future.

Did you open the drain plug with the fluid temperature at around 60 C and with the engine running, If not then that 200ml needs to go back and recheck according to the book |

The fluid temperature is only relevant for automatic transmission, not the manual gearbox. |

No the oil was cold. I put the specified 1.9 ltr of new oil in with car flat and level. |

I would suggest it does not, I'd rather risk running with it overfilled than underfilled.

Hi Rob. I changed the gearbox oil again yesterday and new washers were used, they also were used when i did it originally just forgot to mention it so this time round i have. As with original oil change always make sure you can undo the filler plug first before draining out the old oil, otherwise you could be in a pickle. ![]() Drain plug undone & removed, 24mm socket the car on the level oil still flows out so seems ok from the last fill. ![]() Wheel off and FL2 jacked up using the jacking point to keep it level. ![]() ![]() Level also put on the sill inside the door and the side step. ![]() ![]() My drive has an sloping therefore needs some wood under to make it level from back to front. ![]() With the under tray removed you can now undo the drain plug. ![]() 24mm ring spanner will do the job nicely, so crack the drainplug ready to remove. ![]() Place you catch container under the drain plug and remove the drain plug with your fingers, do not drop the plug into the oil container, i used an old bowl. ![]() Lowered the car on the jack also, this was to help drain all the oil out, let it drain for at least 10mins or more. ![]() New copper washers ready and waiting once the oil as drained. ![]() Drain plug with new washer added, and car put back to level Next i hooked up my pump filler. ![]() https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/391987393825 Pumping in the first litre of 2lts ![]() ![]() Let that settle a little then put in the next ltr, which started to overflow. ![]() Leaving 100ml from the second litre. ![]() Can of brake cleaner ready to clean and wash away any over flow oil from the gearbox. ![]() https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/305147748380 Replace the filler plug with new copper washer. ![]() Spray with disc brake cleaner. ![]() Let that wait to dry off and make sure no leaks, in the meantime i checked the old oil which was last done in 2020. ![]() All looked good and most likely did not need doing, but i am doing all the fluids this spring / summer on both my Fl2's So 2lts out and new 75w/80 added. ![]() cleaned up the boost pipe also. ![]() Double checked the drain plug for leaks, cleaned and dried before putting the undertray back on. ![]() Hopefully this weekend i can add a PTU drain plug and change the oil easier that will be another thread. |

I wish Autoboxes were as easy - sadly not. Jules |
