My owners handbook says 1.5L for a 5 speed box and 2.5L for a 6 speed. The recommended oil is Shell Spirax ASX 75w90. I`m lining up to do mine but have yet to locate a source for this exact oil....

Thanks - I think I`ll be doing the same after a frustrating `Shell`, (and their distributors), experience. The smallest quantity I could find was 20 Litres... I presume no one has had a problem with their LSD when using the alternative? (I`m always a little wary when oils have `solid` additives).
