Question How much oil does the Midland gearbox take?

I want to replace the oil in my Midland gearbox Cooper (02). What is the capacity of the gearbox in US Quarts? (or litres)?

Thanks?

You could ask Roland at GT Tuning... he replaced the oil in my Midland's gearbox with a fully synthetic alternative and should be able to tell you.

I didn't actually ask him about the details, I just trusted that he knew what he was doing.

All the best,
Andrew.

I found this thread that indicates it needs 1.75 (US) Quarts.
