Anyone plz advise what the oil type & capacity is for this model?

I'd buy a Haynes manual, but I have now zero confidence in Mr Haynes advice!

TIA

Mr Haynes does not produce a manual for this model anyway.
4.5 litres of synthetic or semi synthetic oil to specification ACEA B3, for
example Total Quartz 9000 or 7000.
You can use mineral oil but the service interval reduces.

Any idea about gearbox oil too?

That is 2 litres of EP75/80 if you can find it. I have always used the 80/90
one which is readily available. The 2 litres is approximate, as there is a
filler/level plug on the end of the box, nearside.

thanks Brian.

Took me forever to fill it though, using the little nipple thing on top of
the casing.
