#1 Re: Maintenance » 2.0 Gearbox Oil Level Plug location » 2025-05-11 11:34:10
Ok so I checked the fill plug and put a little more in. I've put a total of 2.1 litres in but it still doesn't drip over the top. I'm a bit nervous as only about 1.8 litres came out and this was on a slightly backward tilt to make sure I got all of it.
Has anyone filled this version of gearbox at all? From what I gather it should be 1.9 litres.

I would wait for confirmation before trusting me but...
I think if no level plug or no dipstick present, it's supposed to be up to the bottom of the fill hole.
Trouble is you often can't see it so I would just fill till it drips.
Thanks for that! I put exactly the same amount of oil in that drained out,maybe a little more actually so I'm not overly worried but tomorrow I'll check to see if it's up to the bottom of the fill hole. So literally fill it very slowly until it starts to drip over the top?
After draining I also replaced the copper washer with a dowty one (the ones made from steel with a rubber ring in the middle), I've heard many mechanics replace the copper ones as they go with this type. From what I've read it's recommended as they form a superior seal?
That seems to be what the Haynes video on youtube said also but there's a couple of variants of these gearboxes and I wouldn't want to have to replace it anytime soon.
These are great vans and I'm enjoying learning how to do various service jobs.

I changed my gearbox oil on my 2.0 2014 Toyota Proace (same as the Dispatch) today.
Approx 1.9 litres came out and 1.9 of new oil went in. Was a really easy job aside from not being able to find the gearbox level drain plug to double check it wasn't overfilled.
Could anyone point me in the right direction. Here's a photo of the side of the gearbox from the wheel arch which I was told it was where I could access it. On the 1.6 I believe it's adjacent to the drive shaft but no bolt at all on this one. It's the gearbox with the external fins viewable underneath.
I can't see how to rotate the image so it's on it's side. The rust treatment is my next job.

Mine was broken when I bought it, it was flapping around when driving but a few hinges inside fixed it up nicely.

THANKS @Eddie Honda, looks like something one finds in a torture chamber, order placed will do a post on the usefulness of the tool once arrived
I had a nightmare the first time I did an oil change on mine. So very little useable room around the oil filter and if you didn't know where it was you'd never find it. Me and a mate were at it for hours trying to get it off. At least the fuel filter is easy!
The only thing that worked for me was a short 27mm socket on my smaller 3/8 ratchet, that gave me JUST enough room to twist it off and on. I tried the tool shown but with no luck. The socket on the housing being damaged didn't do me any favors either but it's been replaced with a new one since.

Hey guys
I have a 2014 Toyota Proace which is a rebadged 2007 Dispatch. It has done about 129,000 miles.
I'm going to change my gearbox oil soon and I'm not sure what oil to use. I know it needs to be a 75w-80 but would any gear oil be ok with that spec or is it better to get a certain brand,mineral or synthetic etc?
The Haynes manual recommends Esso EZL848 or Total H6965,neither of which are still available.
I've seen this one which looks to be great for older gearboxes that may have trouble

Would it be ok to use? I don't mind paying extra for quality.
Also does anybody know what size washers I need to replace when I change the oil?
Thanks so much guys
