5 or 6 speed..??

Oil is Ford spec: WSD-M2C200-C (75w90 gear oil) and capacity is approx 2.1 Liters. Filling up to the bottom of the fill hole is sufficient as you'll normally never get all of it out.

2.1 Liters is the total gearbox capacity.... for when the gearbox is totally empty, after being rebuilt/re-assembled for example.....but as mentioned, you'll never get it all out when just doing a normal oil change, oil gets caught in all the nooks and crannys in the housing etc..etc.... You'll possibly get ~1.7-1.8Liters back in after a normal drain, just fill it until it dribbles out of the fill hole, ( and all over your head), and you'll be good to go.
