Oil & Fuel Mahindra e Max 22 engine oil capacity

[whizdbiz2]

Needed to do my 50 hour service so looked in the manual and found the volume of fluids I would need. Got the engine oil filter, the hydraulic fluid and gear oil at the dealer (they didn't have the hydraulic filter). I drained the engine, the drain bolt was a booger to get out. I thought what I got out of it was a lot less than what they said (1.8 gallons, which seemed to me a lot for a small engine). I measured what came out and it was only about 3 1/2 quarts. I put that much in, put the new filter on and ran it a bit, checked the level and added a couple of oz. to bring it up on the stick. It appears that I got out all of the old since there was no darkening of the new oil from mixing with some old. The oil looks new.

The front axle held just about what they said (.9 gallon) although it was actually a bit less than that and more than I drained out of it. I understand it might have to work its way into the final drives, so I'll keep checking the level.

I'm now wondering about the transmission, it says it takes something short of 4 gallons (don't have the manual with me at work). I bought a 5 gallon container of the Mahindra Universal so should have plenty and I guess it will keep if I don't use much.

What gives? How could they be off so much on the engine oil, did I miss something? Anyone have any experience with the eMax 22?

I have an emax 25 and ran into the same issue. Looks like there is a misprint on page 57. If you turn to page 54 the capacity is is listed at 3.2 liters or .85 U.S. Gallons

Thanks, thought it was something like this (or I really messed up somewhere in the process).
