    It always says just more than 1 liter....but i have never been able to get all of it into a wet (already run) tranny.

    I run redline MT90 in my 02A's, which also have brass syncro's.....Just remember to stay away from certain high zinc fluids....brass tends to wear more quickly (vw syncros are brass).

    One Liter of MT90 will fill you're tranny
