confused

Hi everyone i decided to do an engin oil change on my t reg freelander today, and i think ive drained the wrong thing. the first nut i removed only about a ltr of oil came out and when i pourned new oil in nothing came out of that hole. i then found the real sumo nut and alot of oil came out of that, so im worried that ive drained the wrong thing can anyone help?

was plug 21mm you undid at back of engine on aliminum housing

yes that is the one

could possibly be ird drain then if you go further round towards the back and up you will find filler/level plug for ird dont run it till your sure ird is full

ok thank you, do i fill it back up via the filler plug? do i fill it with engin oil?

no not engine oil ,yes you fill through level plug ,did oil that you drained look like engine oil (black) ird uses ep gear oil 75w90 or similar

yes it was black just like the engin oil,ok thanks i will do that tommorow. thanks for the info much appreciated

where in relation to sump plug when you found it was plug you removed

it was about 8 inches behind the sump nut on the ally casing, and no unfortunitly i removed it myself thinking it was the correct thing to do

yes check it tomorrow

cool thanks

no problem ,there is another useful bunch on thread my back end is skipping there bound to be able to give advice on any future mechanical problems

Be careful not to round off the corners of the IRD filler plug - they can be tight.

IRD filler/level plug. Fill ird until it starts running out of the filler:
