DS Oil Service

It was time again for another service for the DS.   Last time, the gear oil in the transmission was quite dirty so even though it didn’t need to be done again, I thought it would make sense to change the oil in there too.   I also had a tip from the forum that using Castrol VMX with the Nulon gearbox additive makes for very good shift in the D.   There is some truth to it as the shifts were better than the previous gear oil I used (also with the Nulon).

Last time, I also ended up with more gear oil on the floor than in the transmission, so I used a different pump, which worked much better.   No spillage other than the overflow to know the transmission was full.   (2 liters).

The normal oil change is a bit messy on the D.   The oil filter is hiding under a plate in the sump and must be aligned in the correct way to avoid oil starvation.
