Filling hole is on the front of the gearbox, you'll need to remove the air filter assembly, it'll either have a thumb-turn type plug or a large hex nut.
You fill until it pour out of this hole as the bottom of the hole is the fill level.
Just use normal gear oil from your local motor factors unless you plan on really abusing the box.
Cheers.
Anyone using a specific type of oil?

get 75w80, any brand will do
elf tranself trx/trj is good
is it worth warming the gearbox first to aid draining?
nah wont make much difference just be prepared for the almighty stench and dont get it on ya clothes coz i dont come out lol :D
75w80 is the recomended Oil, i had a slight whine in my old box so changed to this and it went away
thanks for the help. My 20k gearbox is my most prized possession and i wanna make sure i treat it right! :P
