You need a 17mm allan key or the special tool available fairly cheaply at most motor factors.

Off the top of my head I think the capacity is around 2.5 litres.

yes if you get the synthetic stuff it will help the crunches!

some gearboxes differ on the mount of oil they take so just fill it uo as normal through the fill plug on the side of the box....... once it starts to pour back out its full
just back sure it is full and not just pouring back out because it cant get in the box quick enough........
