I used to get 5 litres but you keep filling it up until it starts to flow out of the fill plug hole. Make sure the car is on a level surface.
The plug is on the front of the box facing the radiator. Its a large hex like a 24mm ROUGHLY

5 litres what gearbox was that? all jc3 boxes take 3 1/2 litres and jc5 boxes only need 3 litres;)

I think Marc means, he bought it in a 5 litre can as opposed to buying individual cans of 1 litre.
A lot of the time it's cheaper to buy one 5litre can and it gives you some spare.

Also if you look in the Haynes book of lies, the jb with plastic filler takes less than the one with the metal plug filling hole.. ;)
