If it's too much oil in the gearbox of my Cielo(Nexia)SOHC, F16 gearbox(almost 0,8 litres),how can that produce some damages?It's so dangerous?Thanks!

I know if there is too much oil in automatic gearboxes, then you run the risk of gears slipping. I don't know how this translates into manual gearboxes, but if the factory specifies that there should be a correct amount, going over probably isn't recommended. The F16 should have a fluid level bolt that you can remove. The excess will drain out of the gearbox and you will be left with the perfect amount. Just be sure that you are on level ground!

0.8 litres isnt enough.

I'm surprised you arent getting any whining.

Recommended for the f16 is between 2 and 2.5 litres [90% sure].

I always put 2.0 litres in and a small tube of gear oil treatment

I am in the process of replaing my diff and the guys told me to put in 2 litres oil?? This is the norm for the tuners out here as well
