Got all my oils & stuff for servicing, but realised I might not have enough gear oil, is 2 quarts/1.9L enough for the gearbox? I see some say 1.8L & others 2.0L for the gearbox.. I am hoping with 1.9L or to be more accurate 1.89L it would be a happy middle ground :D

I overfill my g-box oil as they suffer from failures commonly so more oil physiologically makes me "feel" its better. I drain it out like normal and then diassasemble my gear selector (there's a guide in the useful guides) and fill it with 2.2 litres of oil.

Im sure 1.9 would be ok but mines been fine for 3 years/30,000miles with overfilled oil.
