<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="color:#3333ff">I agree with Kees--you really cannot overfill the box and even if you do the car will leak oil anyway so at worst you will have a larger puddle of oil under the car. Do be sure to use an oil with a GL4 rating or your yellow metal parts (synchro rings, etc) will not be very happy. I recommend RedLine MTL or MT90.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="color:#3333ff"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="color:#3333ff">Best--Michael Oritt</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, May 25, 2015 at 6:36 AM, Oudesluys <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:coudesluijs@chello.nl" target="_blank">coudesluijs@chello.nl</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

<div>Never bother about the quantity, just
fill right up until the oil overflows the filler plug hole, both
overdrive and gearbox if they are separate. <br>
When brass parts are used (e.g. synchro rings, selector forks, OD
parts) do not use EP "gearbox oil". Use straight oil, special oil
e.g Redline or 20W50 engine oil to save these parts in the box.<br>

states the same for a centre-shift box as well. So I
