Default MN6 fluid capacity?

Believe it or not, I spent a long time searching for the fluid capacity for the MN6 manual transmission. I did find the capacity for a rebuild but not for just changing the fluid. I changed my fluid to Royal Purple a few days ago but was not able to do it with the car level (long story). Does anybody know the oil capacity of the MN6 for an oil change? I put about 3.3 quarts in it but I think that may be a little short.

Oh, my car is a 2006 F55 (not a Z06 or Z51).

Can anybody help?

The Shop manual says 3.65 quarts.

Just fill it till fluid leaks out (make sure the car is level)

Thanks!

Looks like I need to put a little bit more in. Man, I sure wish I had a lift!

Just jack one side of the car, add more fluid then lower the jack and let the excess fluid drain out of the fill hole.
