I think it is around 2-1/2 qts. but I don't want to overfill it and make a mess! Thanks Mike P.S. What a pain in the drain this is to do on the floor of your garage on your back and with wheelie bars in the way!!!

Pour that amount into the Jeg's cover. Then take a large measuring cup, fill it to a specific level, and add to your existing level. That's the difference for the whole cover. If the oil level of your old cover was 1/2 or 1/3 up the inside, reduce your calculation of the difference accordingly. If there is a fill-to plug, it's pretty much a no-brainer.

Some aftermarket covers have the fill hole way to high to use as a "full mark". My aluminum T/A cover with cap preload bolts is one of them...
