Nigel Posted July 31, 2017 Report Share Posted July 31, 2017 Take a look at your caps. There is usually two circles an add and a full and your fluid should be in between. If you have to add pull out the rubber plug in the middle and put som hub oil in. Most hub oil bottles will have a pointy cap that fits in the hole. Nigel should look something like this https://www.google.ca/search?client=safari&channel=ipad_bm&site=&source=hp&ei=TFB_WZO9BInA-AHrpoe4Cw&q=hub+oil+cap&oq=hub+oil+cap&gs_l=mobile-gws-hp.1.0.0j0i22i30k1l4.5389.13188.0.17839.12.12.0.3.3.0.240.1837.0j11j1.12.0....0...1.1.64.mobile-gws-hp..0.12.1466.3..41j0i131k1.aegyq7N3kt0#imgrc=syTU2WhshniI6M: 2006 Volvo VNL 430, 2006 smart cabrio cdi, 2000 Triple E Topaz 30' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuzz Posted July 31, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2017 Thanks Nigel,kinda remembered that... wasn't sure and the plastic is not hardly translucent anymore to see the oil level.There is a screw in "plug" on the on the main part..Is that a fill point also .Thanks.Damn I'm acting like a 85 year old and I'm only 82.LOL 2001 Volvo 770-2003 travel supreme36 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Posted July 31, 2017 Report Share Posted July 31, 2017 I always thought it was a drain. 2006 Volvo VNL 430, 2006 smart cabrio cdi, 2000 Triple E Topaz 30' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickeieio Posted July 31, 2017 Report Share Posted July 31, 2017 2 hours ago, Nigel said: I always thought it was a drain. Right, sorta. Rotate the wheel with the plug at the lowest point and it's a drain. Rotate it to the proper position and it becomes the "gauge". Rotate it a little higher and it's a fill port.
