The oil change process is quite complex on these , and early boxes had 3 drain plugs one for each chamber , later ones had 2 ... after changing oil on dozens of these on their mandatory oil change on the 50.000 mile service , I determined that exactly 5.5 litres is the correct level ,to make the process quick and easy ... the box is very sensitive to having the correct oil level .
