"I learned a new way of refilling 5HP gearboxes the other day - pump it in through the oil cooler return I got 6 litres in to it this way, compared to the usual 3 from underneath. This should mean it is very close to normal level on first start and just needs a little bit topping up once its up to temperature, or possibly a little letting out".

That's the way I'm gonna try doing mine the next time I do it. I'll be trying it at the oil cooler end of the pipe though.
