What the f**k , 3 litres ???? :laugh:  :wink:
You need 2.1 litres to be exact, but some will get left in the box so 2 litres will do.
I use castrol syntrax, works for me.

Fill the box until fluid starts to run out of the filler plug hole, then you know you have filled with the correct amount.

.....and don't pour it in through the timing inspection hole, or you'll end up with a very messy drive way.   :laugh:
