    I am after changing the oil in the gearbox and F1 system fluid (the access is very difficult and the manual describes the actions on the removed gearbox) I have a question, is it possible to check the oil level in the gearbox somehow? (I poured a total of 4.7 l) for example some LAUNCH device?

    Gear lube level checking is not hard. The hard parts:

    Access to the FI fluid reservoir is really cramped. A proper flush does require the pump to cycle. This is best accomplished by a reader that will initiate the pump cycle while you are under the car managing the fluid. You want to make sure that the accumulator gets cycled/purged.

    The gearbox must be raised so that there is access to the gear lube screen.

    The gear lube lines to the cooler must be purged. Ideally, the cooler is removed and cleaned.
