UPDATE

The box has been weeping oil for a while now so I cleaned everything and re sealed the bolts holding the pan on as the oil was weeping past these, car was level and the oil 22 deg shown on IID I started ran through the gears and got underneath car, removed filler plug and started pumping new oil in, I got less than 100ml and at exactly 30deg the oil started to flow out, this got faster the hotter, I am now totally confused I was expecting to put more that 100ml in should I have let it run until 40deg

may get shot for this, , but would one of those infrared temp gauges be any good

always thought that u had to wait until it was at 40c , then opened the level plug, filling up or allowing oil to drip out as req

assume it has to be at 40c to allow the oil to expand

but far more experienced people will be along

if you have a IID tool transmission oil temp is there in live values
