CAUTION: The oil may be under pressure when it is hot. Unscrew the level screw plug slowly.

1. Turn the wheel until OIL LEVEL mark (B) is horizontal.

2. Remove oil level screw plug (A) and put a new O-ring on it. Oil must be level with drain screw bore.

3. If necessary, top up with oil at this point. Put a new O-ring on the level plug and tighten it to 90 Nm (66 lb.-ft.).
