Check/fill transaxle to plug level

[StarBreaker]

2014 Cub Car Precedent.
New to me. Want to check everything. Cart came from a local country club but no idea of past maintenance.

Anyone have a clear photo or illustration of the correct location of the fill plug?
I think I found it but want to be sure.

Also I have read about checking the level and keep full.
Is it recommend to do a drain and refill or just top off?

Any tips I should know?

It is located on the side of the transaxle and is a pipe plug. There is another one in the very bottom to drain it and a vent in the very top....

Rear End Lube Change:
-22oz's of 85w/90 synthetic rear end grease. Mobil 1 or any good quality type will work fine.
-Jack it up, pull the fill plug which is up the side of the housing. Then pull the drain plug and drain. (check oil for any foreign material)
-Reinstall the drain plug, stick your manual $8 lube pump tube (from Advance Auto Parts) in the fill hole (do not attempt to use the vent hole), lower the cart back level and pump it until it reaches the threads of the fill hole. (22 ounces + or - will get you there)

And the debate goes on....

I could say motor oil is for motors and gear lube is for gears, BUT, remember you are looking a manual that goes for "golf carts" on golf courses where you do not run the speeds, distance or load that "most" of us put on our slightly () modified carts....

You could put Wesson oil in it if you wanted if you are turning it slow enough and not loading it....

Here is the best info I can give you to show you the viscosity comparisons:
