Gearbox oil?

[xlr8]

saw this video and does anyone know what the reason is for putting oil into the gearbox this way?always thought the gearbox oil was replaced from the side of the gearbox itself? its at around 7 mins 49 secs

there possibly over filling the gearbox with oil thats how its done.

And its loads easier. I leave the fill plug out and fill from the top until it comes out the fill plug. Then refit the fill plug and add a bit more for smoother shifts.
