I've just bought 3 bottles of Reline MTL, which is more than enough, but I'm not in my garage so dont know the amounts, sorry!

Thanks
I am about to buy some Redline MTL myself. How much did you pay?
The best I can get 3 bottles for is £45

I'm pretty sure that two bottles is enough as they sell it in quarts which I think is a bit more than a litre. (if not its still enough!)
Good choice of oil, my box is slightly slower from first to second when the box is cold, but this reminds be not to thrash the motor for 5-10 miles.
Its a small price to pay for knowing that you've got good "proper" oil in you box, not crappy ATF.
AJMHO,

1 Quart = 0.946 Litres
I only found this out tonight.
I will buy 3 bottles as the postage is the same as for 2.

Fill the box up until oil runs from the filler hole.

Just filled the box. It took just over 2 litres. About 2 and 1/4 Quart bottles.
I filled it from the top breather hole as the box is on the garage floor. Nice and level.
I will wait a bit and see if any more comes out of the filler/level hole.

yeah i got mine for £45 posted for 3 bottles. Expensive stuff, but from what I've been told its more than worth it purely for the satisfaction of knowing you do have the pretty much the best available, and again from info i've been told it increase the life of the box, and the power levels it can take. I hope so!
