Iwanted to check my gearbox level all I could find was a plastic plug with a thumbturn on it is that the filler plug? oil dribbled out when I undid it so I put it back quick just in case, the oil was warm

Not sure I think it will need a special tool though, looked reusable.

Lots of manufacturers are going to plastic sumps
New mondeo and transit connect use a plastic sump
Must save all of 500 grams .... Ohhhhh see how we've reduced co2 by 0.0005 %

Thats what I used, as for the sump easy to produce in complicated shapes. As it was a test vehicle we drained the oil so it was never an issue to worry about leaks as it was never going back on the road.

Hey, I've seen a Cyborg travel back in time, and I've seen a DeLorean fly but I cannot believe we have see the last of rusty Fiat sumps, even if they were plastic.

Plastic sumps? I forsee a lot of knackered engines when speed bumps and rocks are hit at speed.
