7. Filling with new oil:
* Pour new oil into the gearbox through the filler plug.
* Pour about 3 liters and check the oil level on the dipstick.
*Add more oil as needed to reach the “hot” mark while the engine is running.
8. Completion:
* Make sure the oil level is correct and there are no leaks.
* Reset the transmission service counter (if equipped).
* Drive the vehicle with the gear shift to distribute fresh oil throughout the system.
