C4 B7 Semi-Automatic Gearbox Oil Specifications

[pablo95]

Hello everyone, im about to change the gearbox oil on my 2014 C4 1.6 e-hdi 115 (9HD) semi-automatic (BVMP? or EGS6? still dont know the difference)

After some research i found 2 different opinions:
1) Citroen suggests TOTAL 75w80 ?
2) Some owners suggest 75w !

The second is fully synthetic, the first one, not. Whats the correct oil for my gearbox?
I live in Greece so the car is driven on mostly hot climate.

VIN is VF7**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff]

Your RPO code is 13813 (3 September 2014) so choices are:

MOBIL GEAR OIL FE 75W (Between the 01/01/2012 and 31/05/2015 or between the RPO numbers 12837 and 14083)
or
TOTAL TRANSMISSION HBVFE2 75W From RPO number 12837 (1 January 2012)

Hey

Did you manage to change the oil successfully?
I have the same Semi Automatic car and I am looking through the Citroen Manual on how to do this and all I can see is

Oil capacity gearbox empty : 1,9 ± 0,15 litres.
Oil quality : ESSO 75W80 EZL 848 or TOTAL 75W80 H 6965.
Check the oil level : No check of oil level (*).
Lubrication interval : Lubricated for life.

There is no check of oil and it says Lubricated for life (which I dont trust anyway).

Also, I am wondering if this is the BE4R Gearbox from the Citroen Documentation?

How did you manage to drain and refill it? You have any pointers I would appreciate that.

Look, it's the same as a manual gearbox - so if you ware wanting to change the gearbox oil (not the hydraulic actuator oil) then treat it the same as a manual gearbox. It's not in the manual because it is not a service operation. You'll need to measure the amount drained and refill with the same quantity, or drain the lot out and refill. To ascertain the quantity for a drain and refill, it will depend on the type of manual gearbox you have.

Please post your VIN in full without spaces - it will be automatically masked from public view after submitting your post & will only be visible to staff and I'll be able to advise.

Good morning!

Did you manage to get any info on my VIN yesterday?

You have an MC gearbox type, so according to my info it should be:

Quantity of oil to fill after draining: 2,1 ± 0,1 litres.
Quantity of oil to fill after an overhaul: 2,2 ± 0,1 litres.

Oil quality: 75W80.

I don't think you have the correct gearbox in your post above...

This just sorted out a whole bunch of the confusion I had. Thanks a bunch! You are a gem!
