About a litre, but put in say 500ml and then top up gradually, checking the dipstick level as you go. I overfilled mine the other day and had to drain some from the sump. More haste less speed.

Approx 1lt...

Just test it as your filling it, giving time for it to measure correctly.... A bit Less is safer than too much  :happy2:
