Default M/T Fluid capacity

I need to know the oil capacity for a manual tranny, 90 FWD turbo...i have seen conflicting info...for example, dsmtuners.com has an article, stating that 2.5 qts are needed, but a link in a thread here, states that its 2.1 qts...i know its minimal difference, but i want to be sure to have enough gear lube when i buy, cuz they only come in 1 qt incriments...thanks all

2.5 sounds about right...just make sure the car is level and fill it up to just before it starts to leak out of the filler hole.

P.S. Pennzoil Syncromesh from Autozone is good stuff
