Gearbox Oil Amount

Post by Rockhead_Rumple »

Drained my 4 speed CU (2 litre) gearbox and I am going to refill tomorrow. However I went off the brickwerks website which said 3 litres of oil, so thats what I brought. Reading some other sources it seems to vary between 3-4 litres. Is 3 litres too little, or will it be ok?

Cheers

Alex

I think the official capacity is 3.5 litres but as you can't drain all the old oil out I would say 3 litres is about right.
