The document provides instructions for checking the oil level in a vehicle's transmission. It states that the vehicle should be parked on a level surface when checking the level. The prescribed oil level must be adhered to exactly as the transmission is sensitive to overfilling. It also notes that if the transmission was recently removed, the vehicle should be driven briefly before checking the level. Specific instructions are given for vehicles with a V6 bi-turbo engine, including removing the oil filler plug and checking that the level is 7mm below the bottom of the hole using a bent wire tool.

Oil level in transmission,
checking
Note:
When checking the oil level in the transmission,
the vehicle should be standing on a perfectly
horizontal surface. An inspection pit or a 4-post
lifting platform is ideal.
The prescribed oil level is to be adhered to
exactly; the transmission reacts very sensitively
to over-filling.
If a transmission with transmission oil cooling
(e.g. 2.7 ltr bi-turbo) has been removed, the
vehicle must be driven a short distance on the
road before checking the transmission oil level.
Vehicles with V6 bi-turbo engine
- Remove oil filler plug -B- (in front of drive flange) to check transmission
oil level.
- Check oil level with a suitable tool (such as a length of wire bent to
shape).
Specification: oil level 7 mm 1 mm below bottom lip of oil filler
hole.
- Fill up with gear oil if necessary. Specification Page 00-3 .
