Changing E34 gearbox oil.....
Discussion
Assuming it's an automatic box...
It's possible to change the filter / re-fill the gearbox by just having the car on axle stands, but as for keeping it level when you re-fill it, as long as it's more or less level then you should be OK. Just top up the last bit gradually and keep and eye on the dip stick.
By the way, when I changed the transmission oil on my 735 E32, I only got about 3.5 litres out, because about half the oil ends up staying in the torque converter, etc. I only mention it as you obviously only need to put as much back in as you took out.
