Australia Levin BZR how to drain gear box oil?

Hi there people. I just took delivery of a 1997 BZR Levin. It has the C160 6speed manual trans. I was wondering if anyone out there knows how to change the oil on one of these units. It has no dipstick and I havent been able to find anything on the internet that can help me in any useful way. Any feed back would be greatly appreciated. PS my photos of the car are coming soon.

They're much the same as the 5 speeds.

They have 2 bungs in them (large head bolts) one is the drain plug the other is the level plug.

You undo the drain plug and catch all the oil, then replace the drain plug. Remove the level plug (on the side of the gearbox about half way up) and the with the car on level ground fill the box up untill the oil is level with the plug, replace the level plug and your done.

And I reccommend castrol syntrax. 75W90, its full synthetc & quiet expensive but its bloody good stuff.

More help needed please.....

Thanks for the response mate I just have one question. What does the bolt look like in the top of the tranny. You see the thing is there are a number of bolt heads on the top of the gear box and I am not entirely sure which one you are reffering to.
