another vote for syntrax, very good oil and worth the money. 4 litres is correct.
fill the gearbox to 1 cm above the full mark. this offers better protection for 3rd gear and has no negatives. ive run both my scoobies like this for years.

If it is syntrax or 'universal' which I think it is called now, it will be fine.
