3. Remove the filler plug or the oil temperature switch, and then check the gear oil. Replace the gear oil if it is contaminated, deteriorated or cloudy. 
4. Check that the gear oil level is within −5 mm (−0.2 in) from the bottom of the filler plug hole or of the oil temperature switch hole. If the level is low, confirm that there is no oil leakage and refill up to the bottom of filler plug hole.
NOTE:
On VA1-types at factory settings, the oil level may be within −14 mm (−0.6 in) from the bottom of the filler plug. This is at normal level, requiring no oil refill.
