My Antara 6 speed manual requires 2.4 litres of oil according to my manual, the literature also states that 0.2 litres remains in the gearbox when the oil is drained so a refill of 2.2 litres is all that is required. however when I first replaced the oil in my gearbox 2.4 litres drained out so I usually put 2.4 litres in.

Hello! Ok but why mesure the oil? I think pf6 ia just to fill until its dripping out from filler hole? I guess i will do that. Do u have pf6 box also?

I must confess I do not know which gearbox is in the antara but it is 6sp manual. The Antara gearbox does have a level plug, I understand however due to an issue with the oil foaming they reduced the gearbox oil capacity to 2.2 litres but didn't move the filler plug which makes filling the gearbox not straight forward.

Ok thanks but then your information is not relevant for me I think.
I guess i will fill until it drips out from filler hole. As described in my picture in first post

I just want to be sure that I have a PF6 and not an PK6 gearbox.. does anyone know? 2008 2.5 cdti vivaro (g9u630)

Your right, unless you have confirmation for the actual amount of oil required you must fill to the filler plug. Richy

According to 7zap.com i have PF6 gearbox.. and thats mean i will fill until it drips out

Thanks. I guess i fill it to overflow and it should be around 2.6-2.7L ? I dont need to mesure anything? Am I right? i have Tranself NFP 75w80, it seems to be the new "TRX".

Maybe i should just put in 2.7L and stop even if its not overflow? So confused

Capacity on the pic shows 2.6ltrs +/- 0.15 ltrs,so fill to overflow and it should be about right

Yeah i will do that , thanks! Do u have any information about the size of sealing copper-ring on the drain plug? Filler seal i guess i can reuse
