Actually, I finally found it in my manual. I've probably read through that
thing twice....and that never caught my eye......2 quarts

I've tried everywhere (well, probably not EVERYWHERE) and cannot find
the
capacity of a newer alpha one drive. I'm about to change the lube, and
would like a rough idea how much new I need to buy to refill the drive
AND
the surplus container that sits up by the motor. I'll probably just buy
a
gallon or two of the stuff just so I have some for next season....but
would
like to know how much each refill will take.

Also, any thoughts on using a synthetic oil over a dino oil here?? I
plan
to run Mobil 1 in the motor this season (broke it in and only put 25
hours
on it last season after purchase).

Thanks
