Subject: Oil Capacities For Gearbox and Rear Axle ?
I have read that the oil capacity for the 2 litre speed model rear axle is between 3 and 3.5 pints, however from empty to within 0.5" of the top of the filler I can only get 2.2 pints (1.25 litres) into mine - can anyone confirm the actual capacity ?

I would also be interested if anyone can confirm the optimum oil capacity of the OH gearbox ?

The capacity depends on where you fill to within the neck of the filler.
My experience is the similar to yours. I could only get around 2.5 pints into my OH axle and then found there was a slight drip from the overflow pipe through the brake back plate after a run. I had gone to 1/4" from the top and I think it is too high so will be draining down to 3/4" from the top and will see how it goes
