BA V6 Gear Box Oil

How do you know when you need to change the transmission oil? Ive drove my car for 140,000+ kms without changing it, is that bad? I drive manual, and the gear changes where alot smoother when I first bought the car...so Im guessing its time to change that oil

I've read the posts about changing your gear box oil, but I don't know where to locate the gear box oil container under the bonnet? Can some submit an image please, possibly with some more detailed instructions for dummies like me?

Thanks heaps

This is where it gets tricky
You will find a drain plug underneath the gearbox
And for the fill point (you will notice the gearbox itself is 3 pieces)
There is another bolt in the second compartment towards the end of the box (facing forward), this is where you will need a length of hose and a funnel, and fill'er up till she spews
I would also recommend changing your gearbox oil slightly more frequently, maybe once a year?
