Kanzaki gearbox. Where should the correct oil level be. I’ve seen posts that the dipstick cap should be sitting loose? TIA

That’s pretty close or maybe just a bit higher than I keep mine. From what I’ve read the oil should be just above that bottom line with the cap resting on the gearbox.

Dipstick should be loose. Level should be at the line on the dipstick, maybe an ⅛" above. The fluid is really hard to see clearly, lay the dipstick on a piece of white paper towel the level will be visible on the towel.

That is how I measure mine….dipstick unscrewed and sitting on transmission housing. Oil (in my case), at the line on the stick.
