Cheers for the info guys.
Amazingly I had no idea how much should go in there, so I took the view it should be at least 60% full (i.e. to ensure it reachs all the parts all the time), hence half a pint made it in there! Which then immediately escaped, probably leaving about 5 spoon fulls in the bottom.
I guess the tip of the gear in there just flicks that tiny bit of oil around and keep it running clean?
Last question...... can the wheel be trusted to be on its side, i.e. when travelling in a car etc? Or will those spoonfuls just end up all over my car?
