Default Eiger LTA 400 Transmission oil amount

EDIT: LTF 400 not LTA

I have recently changed oil in both rear and front.

Changing rear was confusing since I have never encountered the small drain screw before that tells you when it's enough oil.

Rear was about 1.8dl oil

Front transmission did not have that "over fill" screw so I just poor in the same amount I drained. About 1,2 dl. This seems to me like it's to little?

The total capacity is about 7,5 dl when you fill it so it runs out the filler hole. I have tried =)

Any one got any idea how much oil it's supposed to take?

I don't measure the amount, I just wait until it comes out the full hole in the back, and the fill hole in the front. Wait for it to stop trickling, and put the bolt back in.

Funny thing is. In the front diff there is no full hole.

That's because unlike the rear diff, the front diff fill hole is low enough to be the full hole as well. If you look in the manual it says this very thing.

No its not, its the same height as the Rear diff hole, If i fill it up till it starts to drip out of the filler hole it contains 8dl Oil.

In the Manual it says there is a Full Hole, Just like on the rear Diff but there is none.
