From memory you'll only need 4-5 litres. Unless you're dismantling the box or changing it with a proper pump=20 system (inline hookup) then you'll never be able to drain the valve=20 body, torque converter or cooler. That's where the extra litres of oil reside.

Hi Craig,

Ah, yes that explains my confusion at the weekend.... changed sump, and as you say only about 5l drained out.... did wonder about all the pipework, oil coolers etc. Nice shiny new sump pan fitted now! Andrew
