I dont but i will be interested to find out. When i brought my oil (i haven't done it yet) I brought 1.5L as the best guess at the time was 1L
My little blue zed is in lots of bits. With lots of things started and not many finished! I may have found the limits of my time and ability!!

I need the Gearbox Type to give you an accurate volume and specification. ISTA-D mentions Green/Blue/Yellow labels near filler plug.

Yellow=MTF-LT1
Green=MTF-LT2
Blue=MTF-LT3
Orange=ATF-Oil

MTF-LT2 can be used in place of MT-LTF1

Seems to be between 1.4 and 1.6 Litres. Fill until it overflows from the filler hole.

Thanks, missed that post.
Ended up putting 1 quart of Redline D4 ATF and has made the gear changing a bit smoother.
Might go for total replace with D6.
