How much oil in the gear box CV8 ?
Discussion
Changed the oil in the gearbox earlier, when we drained the box it was filled with Dexron 111 which I assume is quite normal.
On the gearbox there is a sticker that says "do not remove the filler plug" which I did find very odd
but Neil just said it's because the extra 1/2 a litre would come out? so we went down the route of filling the up through the reverse gear sensor hole, we put in 4.5 litres, is this the standard amount or to much or to less ?
Me and neil ( Thanks for the help and the use of the lift matey
) definitly could not have done it without the lift! so dont bother trying, better to take it to the fish.
Neil has one of these cameras on a flexible light with a little monitor (I want one) we could not really see the level of the oil but it is way below the sensor hole.

Royal purple comes in 0.946 litre containers x that by 5 gives 4.73 litres but I lost some ( I wont say how ) but box ended up with 4.5 litres in.
The only way to check is to remove filler plug, and see what comes out and refill through the sensor hole, but was hoping the fish would know how much goes in, saves me double checking

You wont be far off. The extra 1/2 litre is purely to reduce gear noise. From a lubrication standpoint, the fill plug level is fine.

Morning mr fish... Do you think I should get back under there and remove the filler plug to see if putting in 4.5 ltrs had made it to the filler plug? or do you think 4.5 will have made it to the filler plug level?
If it really has 4.5 litres then it will be up or over the plug.
