But you do need a 15mm spanner for the drain bolt, and a 1 1/8in spanner for the fill bolt, (its a big bugger).I just filled it till it just spilt out the filler hole. It took 1.7L. Use this stuff. Its for the XR range. Filler and drain holes. You can actually pour it in straight out of the bottle with the pumpkin rear end.

It took 1.7L I think the handbook says its capacity was 1.65? Sedan has IRS, this is live axle so there will be differences.
