Oil level check

CAUTION
Too less oil in the manual transmission leads to transmission
damages.
Check the transmission oil level at regular intervals:
• Check oil level when vehicle is on level ground.
• Do not perform oil level check right after travel (this will
produce an incorrect measurement). Only check once the
transmission oil has cooled down (<40 °C).
• Unscrew oil filler plug (Chapter 4.2.2).
• If the oil level has fallen below the oil filler hole, oil must be
topped up (Chapter 4.2.2).
• Tighten oil filler plug to 60 Nm.
NOTE
During every check, the transmission is also to be checked for
leakage.
