Rear Axel Oil Capacity

Post by **dclark** » Sat Mar 29, 2008 4:45 pm

I have recently bought a 1956 Morris Minor and have discovered that there is no oil level plug on differential. Someone has fitted the wrong diff at some point. Does anyone know how much oil it should hold.

Your problem now is - how are you going to fill it!

if you've got a small enough funnel you could remove the breather cap & fill it through that or you could jack the car up on one side remove a halfshaft & poor the oil in there
