Engine oil in the gearbox, EP 90 in the diff. Fill until it trickles out of the filler hole

The workshop manual says 1.5 pints, unless you want to make a mess on the garage floor

We must have different manuals, that was where my figure came from. I don't go by volume too much, just filling to the bottom of the filler plug, with a drip tray underneath to keep it all clean.
