Hi all.
In my 2010 GSA owners manual it tells me my engine oil capacity and specs reccomended for use, no probs so far.

However, my gearbox and final drive section neither gives me the specification of the oil or capacity's.

Some one on here said the final drive holds 250 ml thats no problem because it has a filler plug at 90 deg. so when it starts to come out its full, so where will I find the oil spec, ditto gearbox.

I have 3.5 L of Q8 T65 fully synthetic gear oil I used in my H-D gearboxes.
Its spec is SAE 75W-90 API GLS.

I'll do the google bit tomoz meanwhile any suggestions appriciated.

Best regards Stretch

Does that mean the 2010 rear drive with its new breather is back up to 220ml for an oil change?
The oil amount was reduced from 220ml to 180 ml supposedly to reduce pressure build up and leaking oil when the final drive warmed up.

Mmmmmmmmm,
had a look at mine and it looks like they have moved the filler plug to a different location, looks like it could be a level plug as well.
Unlike the last gsa which had the filler way up higher on the final drive.

and the new breather,

So I am led to believe:-

Oil in final drive 75W - 140 API GL5

Oil in Gearbox, I am going to use Q8 T65 fully synthetic Its spec is SAE 75W-90 API GL5. As I already have it in stock.
