DIY - 2014 Opel Corsa D 1.4: Change the F17 manual gearbox oil (transmission fluid)

This is a guide on how to change the oil in an F17 manual transmission on a 2011-2014 Opel Corsa D. The oil that I've removed was a Febi 32590 75W90 GL5 that matched the old GM specification for F17 boxes, 1940768. The new oil that I've added is a Ravenol MTF-3 75W that matches the latest GM specification, 1940004. The new oil made the gear changes (in particular gears 1 and 2) much smoother, especially during cold starts. I had hoped to be able to remove the old oil using a 12V oil pump, but that turned out to not be possible. Subsequently, I had to remove the differential cover, allow the old oil to drain, then install the cover back with a new gasket. This method drains about 1.1 - 1.2L of oil out of a total capacity of about 1.6L. In the future, I'll replace the oil through multiple drains and fills, using the level plug as a drain plug.
