Hi Craig

The level in mine is actually just below the lower edge of the flange.

I personally do not want to have to remove driveshafts & flanges just to fill a gearbox

The big advantage of the sight tube is that it enabled me to get some physical reference levels with regard to the gearbox and the quantities of oil.

Up till now Everyone and myself included have had no idea what level the oil came up to if you put in 3,4,5, Litres

The lower strengthening web on the box shows where the level is in the box with 3 Litres and the second web with 5 Litres.

This now gives everyone a reference point for those quantities.

It now allows you to know that those quantities of oil will fill the box up to that level.

How much oil anyone fills their gearbox with is up to them and what they feel is suitable.

At the end of the day I know I feel comfortable knowing where my levels are and not having to rely on guesswork or having to resort to dismantling drive shafts and flanges just to see if there is enough oil.

A gearbox oil change should be a simple easy procedure not one that requires dismantling of components.
