3.5 ltrs on a drain and refill - 4.0ltrs if the box has been striped and rebuilt.

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.

4 to 5 litres of 75W90 GL4 or GL5 spec transmission oil ;)

I am a bit worried i got Castrol Syntrax 75w/90 Universal GL4 but on Autodata they recommend 75W/90 GL5. Have i bought and used the wrong one :confused:

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