Rear bevel oil
Just serviced my 07. All fluids except the brake and clutch as i changed them last March.
Old age must be setting in because i can't remember how much oil the rear drive bevel takes. I think it's something like 80Ml and the same oil as the gearbox. The oil looks quite clean seeing ive clocked up 13000 miles since last March, just needs replenishing now.

Re: Rear bevel oil
The Haynes manual for a Hexhead doesn't give a FD oil capacity because at the time, it was changed at 600 miles then in for life.
For a Camhead, it's 180 ml, it'll likely be the same for a Hexhead.

Re: Rear bevel oil
The original spec. gearbox oil for a Hexhead was SAE 90 and the FD was the fancy 75W-90.

Re: Rear bevel oil
Mine has a drain and fill plugs. As he said mine must have been replaced at some time.I will look through the service history as am sure it has something about a warranty claim for bevel and shaft
