There is most likely a larger acceptable lower limit range for the oil level to be “OK” for on road use versus off road use because for off road the vehicle may be at more severe off camber angles than on road and if down on oil it may cause an oil starvation issue. Most likely anything below 500ml full is where the lower limit is for off road. Hence you are fine to add 500ml as that would bring you up to the ”OK” range for both on road and off.
Yes, I'm curious to know the increments/tolerance. Would it then ask for a further 250ml or being below the trigger point, just ask for a minimum increment of 500ml again?
Good stuff ~ can you say what this is sourced from?
What is the purpose of that? I have 12 trucks for my business, and deal with a lot of oil changes. I don't see a purpose to just doing it the regular way. Is there an advantage?
Ease of use and efficiency especially if you have body armour that you have to take off to get to the bolt. Most European car shops here in the US just vacuum out the oil. If your afraid of shavings at the bottom then go old fashion way. But with engine tolerances now and synthetic oil, less risk of gunk at the bottom.
Thanks. I appreciate it.

Bizarre it's not in the owners manual....
What does that mean?
For the record I asked customer services for the oil volume of the differentials, they did not know so went away and asked someone at HQ for an answer and then sent me the email with an attachment with what l think looks like a missing page from the manual.
I thought so as well. And I read somewhere that R134 is used for the African market only. Hopefully it is just the wrong sticker!

To be fair, “Africa Spec Series 1” sounds highly collectable…
