just over 3 qts... run it for the first 500 miles and then change it out. remember... the break in procedure is extremely important to the longevity and noise level of the gear. 5 short heat cycles with no abuse whatsoever!

Thanks Eric,

I pulled out the axles and the one bearing actually stayed together and wont come off. I called you about it a few days ago. Is it a problem if the bearing wont come apart now?
