   you will have 2 plugs on your gear box, the lower is the draing plug the higher is the level plug / fill up plug..
   
   
   top up until a slow ammount of oil is coming back out the top plug.... job done

    To get to the filler you need to jack the car up ,take off passenger wheel ,take off arch liner and the filler is behind that.
