I normally only put in 6.8L of oil when doing the service. I also check the dip stick to make sure that I don't over fill either. Is there a recommended value in the manual? I use Castrol edge 0w40 to make sure it is the same stuff that the tuna uses....

I chose to use the same oil as what the tuna does. What I am trying to find out is how much oil is meant to be put in. I thought it was 6.8L. if it is meant to be 6.0L then I have been over filling mine ffs.
