1.
2.
Position the car on a level, flat surface
To measure the oil level, remove the oil dipstick, wipe dry with a
clean cloth. Afterwards, screw the oil dipstick by hand to the final
position, then remove and check the oil level.

After the warming up procedure (tgear – 60°C), the oil level should
be immediately below the ‘MAX’ mark on the oil dipstick.
Attention
If the oil level is too high and/or the car is driven when the gearbox oil
temperature is too low, it is possible that a significant amount of oil will be
discharged from the gearbox breather!

The condition and wear of the dogs on the gears and dog rings, and the teeth on
the fixed gears, idler gears, crown wheel and pinion can be checked visibly.
