[C38] Hurth Transmission Oil Level

[Jay Sorensen]

Hi Rob,
 
My understanding is that the level is read by sticking the dipstick the hole in but NOT screwing it down.  I put in about 80% of what it needs and then adding little by little until the level reaches the ring on the dip stick because going over causes having to pump out the excess which is a hassle.
 
Regards,

Can anyone explain how to read the dip stick on the ZF Hurth reduction gear - There is a ring around the bottom and a small hole drilled about three inches above it near the threaded cap.

Thanks

Rob
