How much oil for diff and gearbox?

[damuscat]

Hi all.. about to do a gearbox and diff oil change and I was just wondering how much I need before I go out to buy it.

General consensus on these forums seems to be around 3.5-3.8L for the gearbox but nobody has mentioned how much they used in the diff. Does anyone recall how much they used last time they changed the diff oil?

Thanks

Pretty much the same for all R200 diffs - 1.5L.

Anyway just fill it up until oil overflows out the filler hole.

i noticed in you sig it says 33 gts-t S2 which is what i have. I put about 3.7L of gearbox oil in when i did it and about 1.6L in the diff.

enjoy they are probably the 2 worst things to change
