Figured I’d ask for help before I just start removing bolts/caps.
Nothing in my collection of info on my Lola T91/50 delineates how to check, fill or drain the gearbox oil. I only have notes for type and capacity of oil.
there are two places I suspect that one may be the appropriate fill point. And one potential drain. My old PFM didn’t have a drain, you just had to unbolt the rear cover.
here’s the top of my Lola box:
The silver bolt appears to have a center bolt within it? What would this be for?
Also there is the blue bolt on top of the rear cover. Is fluid level measurable at either point? None of my info packs indicate how far below the top the oil level should be. So I wonder if the only way is to drain the box and then put a known quantity back into it?
Would it matter which of these two locations I used to fill from?
There’s what appears to be a blue drain plug on the bottom of the rear cover also. I’d prefer to drain from here vice separating the rear cover if I can.
My notes say Keith Averill last inspected this box in 2013 (Derek Harling owned it at the time)
Appreciate you all sharing knowledge and advice as always. I’m very close to being ready to get out on track!
cheers,
mike
