Oil level in transmission, 
checking 
     
Note:  
     
When checking the oil level in the transmission, 
the vehicle should be standing on a perfectly 
horizontal surface. An inspection pit or a 4-post 
lifting platform is ideal. 
     The prescribed oil level is to be adhered to 
exactly; the transmission reacts very sensitively 
to over-filling. 
     If a transmission with transmission oil cooling 
(e.g. 2.7 ltr bi-turbo) has been removed, the 
vehicle must be driven a short distance on the 
road before checking the transmission oil level. 
    
Vehicles with V6 bi-turbo engine  -  Remove oil filler plug -B- (in front of drive flange) to check transmission 
oil level. 
-  Check oil level with a suitable tool (such as a length of wire bent to 
shape). 
 
Specification: oil level 7 mm  1 mm below bottom lip of oil filler 
hole. 
-  Fill up with gear oil if necessary. Specification   Page 00
