Where is the drain port of the Peugeot 308 manual transmission?

After lifting the car, you can see the drain screw at the position of the transmission half-shaft. Unscrewing the drain screw will allow the oil to be drained. Below is some extended information about transmission oil: 1. Transmission oil, also known as gear oil, is used inside the transmission and serves as a cleaning product for the transmission system. 2. Transmission oil is further divided into automatic transmission oil and manual transmission oil. Automatic transmission oil is specifically designed for automatic transmissions, while manual transmission oil is specifically designed for manual transmissions. 3. If you need to replace the transmission oil, it is recommended to go to a professional 4S shop for the oil change.
The drain plug for the Peugeot 308 manual transmission is typically located at the bottom of the transmission case near the driveshaft, using a 17mm hex socket bolt. Just helped a friend change the oil last week - remember you'll need to remove the engine undercover first to access it. Interestingly, the fill hole is positioned above the driveshaft on the side, requiring a funnel with flexible hose to reach. It's best to drain when the engine is warm for more complete oil drainage. Oh, and don't forget to check the driveshaft seal for leaks after the oil change - that's the most common spot to discover related issues.
I've been driving a manual transmission Peugeot 308 for five years and have changed the transmission fluid three times myself. The drain plug is located directly beneath the transmission on the driver's side, and you'll need a socket wrench to loosen it. A word of advice: have an oil drain pan ready, as transmission fluid is thicker than engine oil and drains more slowly. While changing the fluid, it's a good idea to inspect the transmission housing for any impact marks. Last time, I discovered my oil pan was dented by a rock – glad I caught and replaced it in time.
