Transmission with overdrive M410
The oil in the transmission should be checked after every 6,000 miles (10,000 km). The oil level should be up to the filler hole. If necessary top up with recommended oil. The overdrive and the transmission have a common oil level and oil filler hole. Make sure when topping-up that the oil runs over into the overdrive.
After every 24,000 miles (40,000 km) the oil in the transmission should be changed. The oil is drained out by removing the gearbox drain plug and the cap for the overdrive oil strainer.
At each oil change the oil filler of the overdrive should be cleaned. This should be done by a workshop.
In a new or reconditioned transmission the oil should also be changed after the first 1,500 miles (2,500 km). The old oil should be drained off immediately after the vehicle has been run while the oil is still warm.

Power steering
The oil level in the power steering should be checked every 6,000 miles (10,000 km). Before checking wipe the oil container clean. Then remove the cap and check the level with the engine not running. The oil level should be about 1/4" (5 -10 mm) above the level mark in the container. If the level is lower than this, top up with oil, with the engine stopped, to prevent air from being sucked into the container. Start the engine and recheck the oil level which should now fall to the level mark. Stop the engine. The oil level should now be about 1/4" (5-10 mm) above the mark.
The oil and filter in the power steering do not need replacing other than during repairs or reconditioning.
