    When changing the gearbox oil, the Honda owners manual indicates that 2
    litres of gear box oil is necessary. However, to pour 2 litres of MTF into
    the gearbox is virtually impossible unless you raise the vehicle in a manner
    that forces the filler hole to be in the highest possible position. As soon
    as the vehicle is lowered on a level ground, the fluid immediately begins to
    spill out.

    In addition, I made sure to that the old fluid was drained for over an hour
    with the car raised so that the drain bolt was in the lowest possible
    position.

    If I go by the manual and fill the gearbox with MTF to the brim of the
    filler hole, about 1.6 litres is all that is necessary.

    Does anyone know what the correct amount is?
