Once the draining is complete and the plug is tightened, the gearbox can be filled with new oil using a funnel with a tube that must be inserted into the filler hole accessed from the engine bay, between the brake fluid reservoir and the power steering reservoir: once the oil begins to spill from the hole, the gearbox is full.
