Hot and on a level surface. It has a plug in the side like a manual would. I do believe there's a how to in the forum somewhere on how to do it.

This used to be dead easy on the senators and carltons as they had a dip stick tube which you also used to top up.
As they had the same gearbox's I cant see why they got rid ???
I wonder if you could retro fit, would certainly make life easier!
