Gearbox oil

[IANMM]

going to drain and refill the gearbox over the next couple of days now as per the haynes manual it says capacity is 3.4 ltrs cant seem to see anymore than a 1ltr tub for sale at most places and also my "plug" that you fill it up from on the front hasnt got the marker on the end (the plastic arm) so is it a finger in the hole jobbie or just measure it off from how much your putting in......

I always stick the finger in the hole matey, and I used just under 4 Halfords 1 litre bottles (have a nozzle to get it in the hole)
