Engine and Trans Oil quantities

[Johnny Depp]

For my '15 500 RS The 750ml reccomendation is a safe level to insure no overfill whether changing the filter or not. When the filter is changed, it takes more oil to refill the filter and it's chamber, so the 2 levels are different.

With no filter change, 750/800 seems about right, although I fill mine until the sight glass is covered with the engine idling. With a filter change it takes a full liter, and I run a full liter in the transmission also.

FYI - I've found if you overfill the trans side, you will get leaks at the countershaft bearing/bushing.

Shoot, I had exactly that on my 498 last week.

I assumed that I could overfill with 200 ml, as I have a Rekluse clutch cover.
