Alpha One Lube Capacity
 
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

Steve L.

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