But how do you know the car is level
if car is on tyres then pressure , fuel load etc can all affect
Surely a post lift is only precise way to measure level

On a flat road you can check by eye - the oil level doesn't have to be exact. A couple of ml either way will make no difference at all.

My drive is on a slope so I can jack the car up and with the wheels just off the ground it is level. I check this with a small spirit level at a few places as its not so easy to see the car is level on a slope.

It's MTF94 and the gearboxes are very reliable and long lived running on it. Reports of gearbox problems are rare. Replace every 90k - 105k miles, or 6 to 7 years, depending on which service sheet you look at.
