Does anyone know which oil to use?

If so anyone got any advice on changing the oil, how to get it all out and how to fill to the right level?

Many thanks in advance.

Alex

There is a bung on the side (bottom) by the subframe to drain.
There is a bung on the front of the box to fill. Fill until oil emergres from the hole. Start engine and run through the gears. Top up. 17mm allen key needed for bungs.

Use 75\80 gearbox oil.

It's recommended to use full synthetic oil for the 'box

iv got a full bottle if you want to meet to collect it. cant post it as its open slightly as iv used some. my mte works at toyota and got it me. cus i filled mine up. its hard to get too, theres 2 bungs so its hard to tell which is which. its on the right hand side if you find both.l youll need a long pipe to reach it from high up to fill it up.
