I believe the i10 gearbox is filled for life so no maintenance is necessary.

From the owner's manual:

Manual transaxle fluid 1.67 lmp. qts (1.9 l) API Service GL-4 SAE 75W/85 (fill for-life)

filled for life, meaning a sealed unit ?

The gearbox on my i10 is conventional...wanting to replace oil after loss from driveshaft removal

thanks for all assistance

Not always - my last car was "filled for life", but all it meant was that there was no drain plug - there was a filler plug though.

I guess there must be on the I10, as there must be oil loss when the drive shaft(s) are pulled for a clutch change???
