ok to fill 6 speed via turret?

rxmx · Postby **rxmx** » Sat Jun 12, 2010 7:08 pm

My car has the shifter and everything out atm and I need to put new oil in the box. Is it ok to fill it via the turret instead of the fill plug on passenger side of box? I have done some searching some say yes and some say no? is this due to variations in the 6 speeds?

Thanks,

NB8B yeah you can fill it from the turret esp if you cant get the fill plug undone.

not sure about the 10AE 6 speed...

I have filled mine through the turret twice, the fil hole is impossible to get to when you have a 6 speed in an NA.

did you just put in a set amount of oil or something??
the fill hole is also the fill level

It's full when the oil starts running out .... :lol:

That is not as bad as it sounds, you know how much they hold, so fast fill to close to that, more carefully as you get closer.

My 6 speed fill plug is impossible to remove (I should have done it with the engine out a few weeks ago) - if I fill through the turret how much do I put in? 2L?

I'm glad to see I can fill through the turret!

Whatever the manual says, you can undo it with the right sized socket, cut the socket down shorter with an angle grinder and a cutoff disk, then it will fit easy.
