gear box oil

crazycraig4.6 · Aug 6, 2009

Hi-landers....im having trouble checking gear box oil, the hand book is telling me the dip stick is on the near side of the engine bay by the bulkhead. I haven't got a dip stick ???????? So how do you check oil and how do you top it up??????anyone got any ideas......

Theres a post on here somewhere by BustersBus about putting oil into a bottle, then attaching a pipe to the top of the bottle, putting it in the dipstick tube and just squeeze the bottle. Easy and it works.

Heres a picture to help you.

or buy yoself a cheap pump up garden sprayer, remove the nozzle, attach a length of hose and use that to pressure top up.

Remove the filler plug with the car level when it's had time to cool fully. Oil should be up to the bottom of the hole.
