1 Check the final drive oil level as follows.
2 Position the vehicle over a pit, or raise it at front and rear on ramps or axle stands. The vehicle must be level.
3 Wipe clean around the final drive filler/level plug (see illustrations)
27.3a Final drive unit filler plug location (arrowed) - Saloon, Hatchback and
Estate models
27.3b Rear axle filler plug location - P100 models
and unscrew the
plug. Using a piece of bent wire as a dipstick,
check that the oil is no more than 10 mm (0.4
in) below the plug hole.
4 If topping-up is necessary, use clean gear oil of the specified type. Do not overfill.
Frequent need for topping-up can only be due to leaks, which should be rectified.
5 When the level is correct, refit the filler/level plug and tighten it to the specified torque loading.
6 There is no requirement for periodic oil changing, and no drain plug is provided.
