gearbox refill

[DomP182]

Just changed the gearbox oil on my 182, maybe it was slightly front end down but I only manage to get 2.7 litres back in it. Does that seem right, I realise the full 3.1 will never come out but I imagined I'd get more than that in

3.1L would be the box as a dry unit, so you'll never get all that out.

Was it level with the filling hole after you'd put 2.7L in?

 

[DomP182]

Yeah I filled until it dribbled out just I was on a slight slope maybe 3"lower on the front as my drive isn't level. May just check it on my parents drive

 

[Mr Trailer Man]

You're best doing it on level ground mate, that should get you the .3L you need.

Job for tomorrow then, getting the air box out is a bit of a faff

Well put it on dead level ground but no more went in, must not have got much out?
