i use a 75/90 pennzoil in my T50 and i think it is about 1.5litres i just fill it till it trickles out then put the plug in, about 23 pumps of my pump at work (15 pumps=1Litre)

i use AFT dex 3 in all my T-50's unless they have fresh synchro's...

they don't like changing smoothly above 7-8k behind 4a's unless you run thin oil...

if it's a bit notchey or crunchy swap to dex 3.. and it will make a huge difference..
