on the vxr it's recommended to use 2.4 litres, normally 0.4 litres remains in the gearbox during an oil change - so just add two full litre bottles

Normally you have 2 bungs a fill and a drain, it used to be you drain it through the drain bung refit it the fill through the fill bung untill it starts to dribble out and hey presto you have the right amount of oil in. I don't know if this has changed though
