Hello,
I'm a new owner of a 01 Disco II SE and new to LR's. I did't get an owns manual and was wondering what fluids and how much.

Crank case =?
ACE = ?
Transmission = ?

Basically all vital fluids. Any help would greatly be appreciated.

I'm a bit bored at the moment and done with finals for the semester so here's all the fluids and capacities that my owner's manual has in it. From 01 DII. Might be overkill, but I'm sure you'll need most of it at some point in the disco's life :) So yea it's a bit long of a reply.
