How many liters of oil does this job take for the transmission and front diff? I'm getting different numbers everywhere. Indy said 4.6 in the back, 1.5 in front (maybe he's thinking of a GT2?). Dealership said 1.5 in the back and 1.0 in the front diff when I asked them last year, and this year they said 3.3 in the trans and 1.5 in the diff. What's the real story?

I still only have about 33k on my 2004, but I'm sure this job has never been done. I know Porsche recommends 90k, but after over a decade I should be having this done, yeah?
