Syntrax, tried redline which my box didn't like, crunching into 4th from 3rd. Changed to Syntrax, now it's as smooth as a baby's bum !

Recommended gearbox oil level?

What's the recommended gearbox oil level for a UK MY99 turbo? The dipstick has two small holes drilled in it for lower/upper level. Midway between, lower hole or top hole?

I'm guessing like the engine oil it shouldn't be run full or overfull?

Cheers,

Iwan
