SRDT 146 Posted May 18, 2023 Too much oil means more drag so more power loss so more heat inside the gearbox. You should also have more emulsion and air bubbles don't conduct heat that well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SRDT 146 Posted May 19, 2023 You just asked about too much so it's easy to answer, now how much is too much / too little for your application that's a tricky question. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Leslie green 80 Posted May 20, 2023 Some may be pushed out the vent on fast cornering if it's overfilled a lot maybe but can't see how it would damage it other than making a mess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SRDT 146 Posted May 20, 2023 If it runs hot enough the alloy casings will expand and the bearings preload will be off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
