Oil In Transmission, Checking

Oil in transmission, checking

Note:
^ When checking the oil level in the transmission, the vehicle should be standing on a perfectly horizontal surface.. An inspection pit or a 4-post lifting platform is ideal.
^ The prescribed oil level is to be adhered to exactly; the transmission reacts very sensitively to over-filling.
^ If a transmission with transmission oil cooling (e.g. 2.7 ltr. bi-turbo) has been removed, the vehicle must be driven a short distance on the road before checking the transmission oil level.





- Remove oil filler plug -B- (in front of drive flange) to check transmission oil level.
- Check oil level with a suitable tool (such as a length of wire bent to shape).
