gearbox oil xsara picasso?

Hello all
I have recently done a service ,oil change,filters etc
can anyone tell me if the engine and gearbox share the engine oil or is the gearbox a separate unit????
I thought they were common ,only a friend of mine just needed a gearbox for a berlingo as there was no oil in it ant the mechanic said citroens have separate engine/gearbox oil
many thanks Peter

engine and box are seperate.gearbox oil is very different than engine oil, if you are going to change it find exact type and amount needed.
