Checking the oil level in manual transmission Hyundai Creta

Note:

The manufacturer recommends checking the oil level in the Hyundai gearbox  after every 60 thousand kilometers or after 4 years.  The level is also checked after a visual inspection of the car and the detection of transmission oil leakage.

In a gearbox that is operated with a low oil level in the crankcase, intensive wear of parts occurs. Over time, this can lead to component failure and costly repairs.

The gearbox model is  M6CF1. Transmission option -  2WD.
