[DeTomaso] ZF oil capacity?

[pantdino at aol.com]

 The amount it takes to refill it will be different from the first fill because not all the oil comes out when you drain.
Let the box sit for a few hours to make sure the oil you have added has gotten into all the nooks and crannies, then add some more to see if it is still full.? Then let it sit until it stops dribbling out-- you don't want to overfill it.

Also, is the car sitting level?

I had the capacity of gear oil for a -2 ZF written down somewhere, but do  
you think I can find it now.
 
The ZF manual indicates a capacity of approximately 3.5 liters which would  
translate into 3.7 US quarts.  I changing the oil today, but was only able  
to get a little less than 2 quarts in it before it overflowed.  Seems  
unlikely that I could get an additional 1.7 quarts in it after it settled.  
 
What is the correct amount of 90# gear oil for the Pantera ZF?
 
Sorry to be a pest.
