Hello all, i have a 2016 Evoque SE and i attempted to change the oil myself for the first time. Well I mistakenly took off he wrong bolt and drained the Transfer case fluid instead. I did find the correct oil plug, drained the oil and replaced the filter like i wanted, but now I'm stuck. It's Sunday evening and auto stores are closed. My questions is can i add transfer case fluid back in easily, how much do i add, and where does it go? I have ttached an image of what i'm trying to describe.

Thanks for any help with this.

 

Hi, i made the same mistake. What did you do to solve the problem. My car is stuck in the Garage


Any help is appreciated. Thanks

 

Hi, so here is an update for anyone who might make this mistake in future. I contacted the dealership and they recommended Castrol BOT720 or 75W90.

Using a 10$ hand pump, you can top it up. In my case the drained oil was 250ml, so i topped up with 250ml Castrol 75W-90. It's definitely gonna be a little messy, just make sure to stop the oil from coming out and screw the plug immediately.

DO NOT put all your effort into transfer cases, they are aluminum, they will crack and break. Ideally you should use torque stick to screw the plug, but even without it do not apply excessive force.

The picture of the oil and hand pump are attached.
