Thanks in advance guys
 
GEARBOX - GL4 75W 90
All Diffs and Transfer box 80W 90

The gearbox takes just over 5 litres and not 3.5 as it says in the manual, the back diff also takes more than it says in the manual. :nenau

Make sure you are able to remove the filler/level plug before you take out the drain plug.... because that would be silly if you drained the box and couldn't get the filler plug out. :doh

Park on a level surface and fill untill it starts comming out of the level hole at the side of the unit. Wait until it stops dripping and replace the filler/level plug.
