2. Remove the lower engine splash shield.
3. Unscrew the oil filler plug from the gearbox, which is located in front of the left drive shaft.
4. Check the oil level. The oil level is correct when it is at the lower edge of the threaded hole.
5. If necessary, add oil through the oil filler hole.
6. Screw in the oil filler plug and tighten it to a torque of 25 Nm.
Warning: The gearbox housing may be made of aluminum or magnesium alloy. If a new oil filler plug is installed, it must be matched to the corresponding gearbox by number, as the plugs have different coatings. If an incorrect plug is used, contact corrosion may occur.
