VP reverse gear oil

[Jamie Dundee]

Can anyone tell me which oil I need for my gearbox, as below? I can’t work out from the user manual I have which it should be.

Also, how much oil should I be able to drain from the engine (TAMD41P)? I know I’ll never pump it all out but the 7 litres I’ve got so far seems a bit less than I expected given a capacity of 11 litres.

Thanks, good to know as what came out looked like ATF. Any thoughts how much oil I should expect to get out of the engine? I was expecting around 9l + what’s in the oil filter.

I manage to get 8 litres out of my engine (not counting what is in the filter).

After removing the oil on a warm engine (kad32 in my case) I leave the engine overnight and always get more oil out the next morning Even so there is almost certainly some oil retained in the engine.

By the way the following confirms the gearbox uses ATF ..........and quantity

That’s the plan for this morning, I might even add a couple of litres of fresh oil to stir things up a bit. Thanks for the link, I think I’ve got the user manual for an older engine, doesn’t mention my gearbox at all.

Cheers, must try harder Hopefully I’ll get another litre or so out this morning.

That s what I do - well perhaps 1 litre . But I think it just runs through to the sump some old oil is still retained somewhere in the engine.

Got another 3/4l ish out, didn’t add any fresh oil in the end but might give it a try next year.

Yeah, I was looking at that. Looks like ‘push to open’, just had a quick search at ASAP but not found a gearbox filter yet.
