Probably nearer a litre if not just over. Suzuki seem to have no idea how to measure volumes.

I ended up running out to buy an extra can when I did the gearbox and transfer on mine, so I bought an extra litre over the book when I did the axle oil, and used most of it.

If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there :)

The "correct" way is to add the volume of oil in the book, stick the bung in and drive off. :ohmy:

Then when you check the oil at the service, you add extra until it just starts to drip out, i.e. reaches the threads in the filler hole.

So I just miss out a step and fill it until it starts to come out, as that is how I would have checked it, but I got a lot more in than the handbook said, with the price of 75/90 synthetic I bought exactly enough.


Not too happy with the synthetic, it won't go into 1st easily when it is cold, I'm sure it used to before :whistle:

Is it easy to get to the filler/plug whilst box is on?

Transfer box, I think so.
Gearbox probably not, I can't remember, because
I use an oil syringe from Machinemart
www.machinemart.co.uk/shop/product/detai...l-transfer-equipment
I dare say eBay would throw up something similar.

makes topping up gearboxes and axles very easy.
(I use it on my 'bike too, I made a hollow dipstick from brake pipe and a brass bush, just overfill and then suck the oil back out through the tube until it stops sucking, then the level is spot on)
