Gearbox Oil Change
Posted: Sun Oct 02, 2022 11:11 am
All, I have changed the gearbox oil in my Nomad.
I’ve bought Redline MTL instead of using the MTF from Honda.
I’ve read and been told that I need 3 litres of oil OR fill it up till it dribbles out !!!!!!!
So I cracked the fill plug, then the drain. Dropped the oil into a container, had the front end up on ramps so it could dribble out as much as possible.
I then filled it up with both bottles of oil and nothing dribbled out.
Man maths then suggested that I then put the drained fluid into the bottles to see how much is left over.
Imagine my surprise when the drained oil filled one and a half bottles ? So I’ve drained out 1.5 litres but added 2. But that’s still not enough l.
The car was rolled off the ramps and filled on the flat.
Any advice ? Or am I worrying unnecessarily?
