Hi, I have a 98 2.4 petrol Largo.
I decided to do an oil change today but dropped the gearbox oil instead of the engine oil.
I am crawling around in the gutter underneath the car so visibility isn't great. I,ve put the drain plug back in but where do I fill the oil from ?
please advise
Cheers
Nige

Re: new member gearbox oil question
Yep, through the dip tube as NRG says. I think it's a lot easier if you actually remove the driver's seat & large access panel (only about 12 bolts total) as the tube on mine is a bit hidden even through the panel behind the seat.
IIRC it takes about 3l of Dexron III. Was probably due a change anyway lol. Welcome.

Re: new member gearbox oil question
Bet that was the import date, I think they used to drain the fluids before shipping lol.
