Swivel pin oil change.

Hi guys

I've just topped up the oil in the front swivel pin housings...not sure this has ever been done as each one took over half a litre. Slight issue is I topped up through the bottom level plug & not the top filling plug! Will this be an issue or can I sleep well tonight!

Thanks

.... actually I think I'm about to answer my own question in that I shouldn't have put oil in the housing & it should have been grease? ...& There isn't a top filling plug just the one square bolt plug for grease right?

What 'oil' did you use ?

here's the plugs, fill - top, level - middle and drain ...
Wheel needs to be turned out so that the holes clear the ball...

Thanks. I don't have the top middle & bottom plugs just square section plug 15/16mm just over halfway up housing. EP90 GL4 gear oil

Td5 will be grease. but oil will not hurt, though it may leak more readily!
