I put syntrax in mine and used about 3.75 litres and even then it was slightly over full on the dipstick. Much better than before.
See Syntrax transformed my box thread also.

I topped my box up today with about a litre of syntrax, but this will have gone in on-top of what the main dealer will have used.
What do the main dealers use, and is it OK to mix them?
having only done a 1500 miles since its last service, I also wonder whether it was even checked by the S dealer.
