does anyone know where in the engine the oil goes for the gear box?

Question

for a rover 214 si

Answer 1

Engine oil goes in the engine, not the gear box.

Answer 2

I'll assume that by Gearbox you mean the transmission. The trans-fluid (not engine oil) goes into the transmission directly. If its an automatic there tends to be a dipstick somewhere under the hood and you could either put it in there (slow) or look around for the cap. A manual transmission requires that you go underneath and there is a drain and fill plug on the trans itself, if you arent familiar with vehicles i wouldnt reccomend doing it yourself.

If infact you are referring to the diffirential (and your vehicle is rear-drive) there is a plug on the diffirential itself. On a FWD the Diffirential is integrated with the trans in what is known as a transaxle however they sometimes use different lubrications so i would reccomend referring to the service manual.
