Props are easy to grease if they've got nipples - measuring levels in the gearboxes isn't quite as easy. I think most people just add oil until it comes out of the filler plugs. You'll need a squeexy bottle and tube or an oil pump. Same applies to diffs.

Take out the middle seat cover and undo the plate on top of the gearbox

I pour the oil through the round hole in the top of the box. More oil = good.
but now my box is making a noise.....
