V-Drive oil check and add location on 06 210???

[bulluckdl]

I cant find the V-Drive oil location on a 06 sante. I know most of them are under the rear middle seat on the drive, but I dont have an oil check or a location to add oil. I looked at the manual and it shows the location right under the middle back seat (No oil check or add location). I even had my friend who also has a 210 look at it and he was super confused too. He showed me his V - Drive check and its right where mine should be. Anyone have an 06 SANTE that can help me out?

I believe 06 was the first year for the PCM VDrive (left hand rotation prop). It has two square headed access bolts at the 10 and 2 o'clock postions on the VDrive case for checking the lubricant level. The lubricant is a special synthetic Mobiltrans oil and is good for life. It is not a typical routine maintenance item.

thanks

So there is no actual H and L check stick? Im getting a low oil pressure warning on my LED display. I purchased standard SAE 30 oil, is this ok to use?

I thought 2007 was the first year they switched prop direction. Maybe you have a late model 06? Which way does your prop spin? Also, if it is the serviceable Vdrive, doublecheck the manual. Mine is SAE 30W. Trans is Dexron III.

my boat reverses to the right. opposite than the old 210's.

I swear that was 07 they switched. Even looking at the manuals I get that impression. Nonetheless, the 07 manual says to fill through the above described 10 and two holes, like H2O stated. I was unable to find where it stated which fluid. WTF...

If it is the PCM unit (left hand rotation prop) and it sounds like it is if it backs up to the starboard then remove both fill bolts. The fluid level should be touching the bottom of these threaded holes. Add Mobiltrans SHC 50 synthetic transmission lubricant. PCM part # R190250.

By the way, that low v-drive pressure light is always going to be on while you're idling. I think you only have to worry if its still on when engine speed is above 1200 rpms.
