I know this is an older thread, but this got me thinking. I normally only put in 6.8L of oil when doing the service.

I also check the dip stick to make sure that I don't over fill either.

 

Is there a recommended value in the manual?

I use Castrol edge 0w40 to make sure it is the same stuff that the tuna uses....

no I am not arguing which oil to use. I chose to use the same oil as what the tuna does.

What I am trying to find out is how much oil is meant to be put in.

I thought it was 6.8L. if it is meant to be 6.0L then I have been over filling mine ffs.

owners manual ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

edit: my owners manual for my BA (2004) says 6.6L wet fill (no filter), 7.0L dry fill (including filter)

 

I've always put in 6L and it always ends up right on the "full" mark.

Check the manual as I hear FG sumps are different, but I don't think the volume changes much if any.
