Cheers

6 speed turret shares the oil from the main box.
5 speed has a separate turret which needs to have oil changed/added occasionally.

You don't need to fill the 6 speed turret separately.

Does turret consume oil on 5sp so occasional check is required? To fill or chk the turret do i need to undo the console, gear knob etc?
