Thread: LT95 oil top up, the quick way?

I just use a drum pump in a 20L drum or a syringe type pump. As for the transfer, mine has a filler/level plug at the rear just near the PTO plate. Has never been a problem.

Gearbox
Heres what I was going to do, in the top red circle the oil filler/level bolt has a tap, I turn it, if oil comes out all is good. If not I fill it up via the tap till it drains back out to that level. – no real problem -

Transfer case:
Now I see the filler bolt on the top of the case (top blue) but it’s a PITA to get to, there appears to be another bolt just behind the handbrake lever ( red arrow) but virtually impossible to get to from under the RRC.
BTW someone covered the top inspection hole with a metal plate and the seats etc are in the vehicle
The pic is just to show you the fillers I am referring to.
So is there an easy way to top up without pulling carpets up?

Im not sure that the plug on top of the t/case is actually the filler plug. The t/case definatly doesnt get filled up to that level. Try looking for another plug about 2/3rds to 1/2 way up the sides/rear of the t/case. This will be the filler/oil level plug. Bob

The plug in the top IS the fill plug, not the LEVEL plug, which as I do, fill through the level plugs

So for the transfer case is the level plug parallel to the hand brake assembly?

If it is theres no way I can get to it unless I pull the carpet.

I was planning to fill via the level holes via a hand pump & tube but I just cant find a level plug i can get access too for the transfer case.

*** I know i'm being a PITA but I would like to do this tonight ready for a long drive on Friday.

Sorry for the late reply, pretty girls visiting and all

The level plug, is the square drive plug on the rear of the whole gearbag assembly, look at the handbrake itself, then look to the passenger side, fill via that, with either a syringe style unit or my preference, a hand pump in a 20L drum
