oh yeah forgot the manual! Spent ages searching and looking on how to's...Dumb sh!t! :mac1:

Even with the filter on you can usually only get between 3.5 to 4 litres in there (empty filter to begin with)... Newly rebuilt will be different but its hard to get all the oil out of the engine when simply doing a service....

I put in about 2.5 litres and ill top it up as I go. Nice castrol RS 10-60, first time using it as im finding 10-40 a bit thin.

Mine takes exactly one container/ 4 litres every time.
