As a standard, any front wheel drive car uses ATF lubricant or better known as Automatic Transmission Fluid to lubricate it's gearbox, you can recognise it by its colour witch is deep red, an Opel/vauxhall corsa/astra 1.7d/1.7di/1.7dti/1.7cdti uses ATF II, you can normally get this at any gas station and/or car spare shop, if you are not good with technical stuff its recommended that you take your car to the nearest GM service station to get the "cranny" filled up as filling is quit tricky. over filling will cause to much preasure on the gaskets/seals witch means that the gearbox will blow a gasket, oil will start leaking from the area where the gasket is damaged, evetually the gearbox will leak so much oil that the gearbox will run dry damaging the scyncro mesh, selectors, links and gears to such an extent that youd have to replace the gearbox witch can be a costly matter!
