best place to re-fill the gearbox oil? (1.8)

[Southside]

Just put the driveshaft back in on the ZT and need to fill it up with oil now. Wheres best place to re-fill it from? Also anyone know what the capacity is?

And finally whats the best oil to use, I used genuine MG-R MTF-94 in my 220 turbo, Would it be ok to use the same?

MTF 94 oil will be fine, the filler is an allen key style plug above the near side driveshaft

There is a "how to" PDF on the clubs website, you might have to be a subscribed member to see it.

Right i've got a bit of a dilema now. On that guide it says re-fill with 3.5-4.0 litres of oil, Yet when i went into Friersgate MG-R earlier to get the oil and i asked them if they knew the capacity and they said 2 litres? Anyone know which is right? obviously i dont want to overfill it as it'll put strain on seals e.t.c but at the same time i dont want to underfill it as it could damage the box?

you wont over fill as you fill it till it runs out
