What is the best amount of gearbox oil to add?

I've seen 2.1L mentioned by a lot of people, but also heard that only filling with 2L is better.

The gearbox oil I am going to use is this stuff from Peugeot:

Total Transmission Bv 75w80

The last time I changed the box oil nothing came out of the level check, so I stopped at 2.5L (probably to do with angle of my garage and car). I would prefer to put in a measured amount.

As I see is common, my box is bit notchy going into second, especially when cold. What is the best amount of oil make these changes smoother and achieve the best longevity of my gearbox?

Thanks

put 2 litres in, come back 10 mins later and see if any is dripping from drain plug

Gotcha


Thanks guys.

you know what i mean, level drain plug

The be3/6 is 2.5l the 5 speeds are 2.0 but you aren't normally able to drain out all the oil, but the correct way with a manual pea box is fill until it comes out the level plug on a level surface (cold), coming from a friend of my mind who has been a pug dealership tech since before the 306 was new lol

took you 4 years to notice ?!
