[adam172]

as above, how much oil will the 1*2 gearbox take? im going to be changing it soon so want to get some oil ready?

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

5L I think.

 

[172Ben]

3.1l from bone dry

Just fill till it starts leaking out

LOL at 5L

 

[Andyman]

3.1 iirc

Ah sorry, I read engine oil.

Not with it at the moment!

3 will be easily enough, 3.1 is from bone dry

Does gearbox oil expand much (if at all?) through heat? Or is it pretty much impervious to it?

D.

 

[Fred@BTM]

3L heated to 100degC its still going to be 3L unless it evaporates (which ain't going to happen LOL)
