Dunno about the smokey old coal burner but the diffs are about 2.5l each, transfercase about 2.5-3l and gearbox is 4l or maybe a little over 4l from memory :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

I think my cruiser has "6.5L incl filter" written on the firewall in felt. (13BT)

I know the diffs take close to 3 L each.
Sold my 1985, BJ74 MWB Landcruiser, rear locker, 33" MTs, snorkel, PTO winch, solid bars all round, spotties, AM CB etc.
Now just a 1994, 1kz Surf, pretty standard.
