[Silvi]

Hi everyone :)
I cant find the gearbox oil leveler - to make sure that i got enough oil in the gear.
I will be happy if someone can tell me where is the leveler, picture will be better.

Thanks :cry:

It's a fill plug on the side of the transmission. When oil pours out of it it's full.
Download the FSM it will show you.

FSM = Factory Service Manual.

Yes, only way to really check your transmission oil level is thru filler hole. You take the filler hole off, if oil leaks out, youre full. If it doesnt, its low.

Personally, I'd just drain the oil out, then throw in 3 qts into it via the shifter. Capacity is about 2.5 qts but an extra .5 wont exactly hurt it.

dont forgot to remind him to find GL-4 oil, and that he wont find it at the local parts store. Will it really hurt to put in some GL-5 "compatible brand" ? You will find many that say the answer is: yes... and some will say no. Which is it? Decide for yourself! but be aware of this issue....

just because oil doesnt come out of the fill hole doesnt mean its low u should be able to stick ur pinky finger in the hole and bend it down to touch the fluid if u cant get fluid then its low.
