CHANGING THE GEARBOX OIL
1. Run the gearbox for 10 minutes to warm up the oil.
2. Switch off the engine and begin to drain oil from the
gearbox and cooling system. The drain plug is located
on rear right hand side of the gearbox on most
models.
3. Allow to drain, before refilling the gearbox with new
oil as recommended.
4. Run the engine to allow oil to circulate, then stop and
allow the oil to settle. Re-check the oil level and top
up if necessary.
5. Ensure dipstick and cap are firmly secured and check
for oil leaks, especially around the output shaft oil
seal and gasket sealing surfaces.
