Paul, basically did the level check just as you described, engine running, level plug removed at 60c & refitted with engine still running. Last fill was 3 ltr, I think I will check the level again at the weekend, for peace of mind!

I've changed my fluid (3 quarts at at time) five times for a total of 15 quarts. First change was done at about 50,000 miles Most recent was done at 113,000 miles No error so far I must be filling it accurately enough. That is great feedback Thanks Paul |

Did you perform 2 separate changes to use 7 litres?

I have one of those €4 OBDII Bluetooth port connectors and the Torq app on my phone. Through this it gives the gearbox temperature among other parametres. |

Has anyone had any success with using a vacuum pump (like the Pela 6000) to get the old fluid out via the filler plug?

There is no fluid visible through the filler plug hole when the box is full. Unlikely to be able vacuum it out. As long as the spec IS a true 3309 (and not a “universal” type - don’t trust them) it should be ok. I have a can of S&A 3309 ready for my next change. Plan to use around 10 - 12 litres if it has not been changed before. You will HAVE to get access to the underside to remove/refit the level plug anyway. Only way to ensure the contents are correct.

look at the price of a new gearbox - the oil will suddenly look a lot cheaper.

If the box has 120k without its oil ever been changed, then you don't want to change too much oil at once...
