I also have a 95 4/4 Zetec with very low mileage. I get it serviced by Mike Duncan at Hartlebury and asked him recently (when it had its annual service) whether the gearbox oil should be changed and saying I preferred to err on the side of caution. He suggested leaving it. I was slightly surprised but he knows more about Morgans than I will ever know. But I thought oil degraded with time so was surprised. Interested in comments.

I think Mike's quite right. I recently changed the oil in my Type 9 box after many years - not because I needed to, but because I've got a vacuum oil extractor I wanted to try out. The old oil looked clean as a whistle.

Thankfully I've always had a drain plug and just in case there's swarf sitting on the bottom I like to do an occasional change.
Does anybody remember the amount of debris which used to attach to the Mini drain plug?
