I followed the DIY procedure for changing C60 Matrix XRS transmission oil DIY Manual Transmission Fluid Change and wondered why I only re-filled 2/3 of the gear oil required on level ground. Further investigation and I found out why.
This procedure--and many others like it online & on Youtube--incorrectly identify the fill hole. The fill hole is not the 10mm allen bolt; that is in fact another drain hole. See service manual:
The correct fill hole is the 17mm on the end case cover. After filling until the 10mm hole was full, I was able to add the rest of the oil--about 500-700ml--into the proper fill hole.
I suspect there are many C60 XRS models driving around with under filled gear oil. I humbly suggest this DIY--a part of the "must read" sticky and one of the first results from an online search--be updated to reflect the proper fill hole.
