gear oil change???

[danger S3]

ok so im planning on changing my gear oil and just want to double check i have the right holes ooooeeeerrrrr

so this is the fill and drain holes for the gearbox and they seem to be 17mm hex's

is that all i need to drain or do i need to drain the front final drive unit too or is that filled somewhere else?

does it share oil with the gear box?

im gonna change the oil in the rear diff as well which looks fairly straight forward with the drain hole on the bottom and the fill hole half way up the front of the diff

Drain the final drive aswell and top up via gearbox filler and it goes into the final drive

I think mine are 14mm hex sockets

Drain the final drive aswell and top up via gearbox filler and it goes into the final drive

cheers

and am i right in thinking the drain plug for the final drive is the one with the arrow in the second picture?

do you know what the total capacity is including the final drive?
