Gearbox Oil Level Check

[Supertoadylight]

Just put the gearbox back in the car - how do you check the oil level on an inverted Porsche gearbox? Or is it a case of draining the oil and then putting a specific amount in?

If so what is the measurement? Its a G50 long box if it makes any difference,

Many thanks,

my g50 has a torsen diff fitted and i run redline shockproof synthetic 75/90 which isnt cheap but is apparently v good stuff. not had any probs with it, anyone have any comments on redline?

apparently

the G50 52/50 will hold 4 litres Dom?

i used a semi synthetic in mine but planned to change it regularly, i used a Millers motorsport oil, i can get you some Dom? They do a full synthetic version if you would prefer that.

hi kyle be great but then got to drive over..

Ive sourced a gl5 hypo oil which is a 80/90 oil.. does that sound correct. ment for lsd but i think its a mineral oil not semi..?
