Get under it and look, it really couldnt be any more obvious tbh.

shuttle box has a drain plug and a dipstick, you fill through the dipstick tube and there is no filter other than a gauze one in the little sump. ATF Dextron 2

4 speed gearbox also has a drain plug and a level/filler plug half way up the box. EP80-90

I've answered on a previous thread. Why start another?

Had the Spicer box out of one 2 months ago and it gives the oil specs on a plate on the side of the box which stated EP 80-90 but the original JCB manual states to use 15W40 Multigrade oil. I don't think that box is too fussy!! IIRC,my own has SUTO 15w30 in it,the same as in the back axle...Only have it 29 years...
