It's around 3.5 litres yes (although it's better to fill the box to an eighth of an inch or so above the top hole of the dipstick), but the correct choice of oil is a 75w/90 multigrade, not EP80.

Mobil 1 SHC 75w/90, Castrol Syntrax, Silkolene Syn5 and Redline Shockproof Lightweight all work well IME.
