Thread: Transmission fluid check

As far as I am aware, if you use the filler plug as a guide level instead of putting in 2.2 litres the gearbox can over heat. 2.4 litres is the capacity for a dry fill at the factory. If you fill to the filler plug, owing to the angle of the gearbox you will exceed 2.4 maximum fill.
Also only use MVMTF Plus 75W-90 to GL4 specification. GL5 will react with some of your gearbox components.

Just pulled my blue one for a LOF one piece for this reason
