Gear oil level check
To check the gear oil level, use the
following procedure:
1) Park the vehicle on a level surface with
the parking brake applied. Then, stop the
engine.
2) Clean casing around oil filler plug to
remove risk of any loose dirt or debris
entering oil filler plug hole. Remove the
oil filler plug 1.
3) Feel the inside of the hole with your
finger. If the oil level comes up to the
bottom of the plug hole, the oil level is
correct. If so, reinstall the plug.
4) If the oil level is low, add gear oil
through the filler plug hole 1 until the
oil level reaches the bottom of the filler
hole, then reinstall the plug.
