Drain Off Oil

Undo the drain plug. Allow some of the oil to drain out and reinstall the plug. See Fig 1 . Tighten to 40 Nm.

Check the level taking account of the temperature. See CONDITIONS  , PREPARING TO CHECK THE OIL LEVEL  and MOVE THE GEAR SELECTOR THROUGH ALL POSITIONS. WAIT IN EACH POSITION FOR APPROXIMATELY 3 SECONDS  . The oil can also be sucked out through the dipstick pipe using an oil suction syringe with a narrow gauge hose.

NOTE: Strict cleanliness is important.
