Default Lost my WildBill Transfecase instructions. How many pumps

Can't find my instructions from the wild bill kit and am in need of some help on how many pumps of the pump to fill the transfer case. Of course I have the car up on jacks draining already as I thought I knew right where the directions were. Anybody got 'em or at the very least the fill capacity of the transfercase so I can figure it out. Thanks!

Trevor: To refill the transfer case:
1) Jack up the left-side (US driver side) until the door sill is 21 inches above level ground
2) Support it with jack stands
3) Remove the transfer case oil plug
4) Fill the transfer case with oil up to the bottom of the fill port
5) Insert & tighten the oil plug
6) Lower the driver's side

Since residual old oil remained when you drained the transfer case, you may wish to repeat the drain & refill process after driving the car a few weeks.

This thread has pictures of an X-type jacked up on the driver's side: https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/x...fluids-139865/

And this thread has more info that help me change the transfer case oil on my X-Type: https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/x...solved-139757/

If you drained the oil from the 'high-level' drain plug with the car on the level, there will be 250 mls of oil left in the t'box. The total fill should be 600 mls, so you are 350 short.

Thanks but IMHO anyone getting under a car jacked up at that angle better have good life insurance. Perfectly happy with my 1 way valve that you simply pump it thru then plug. Must have over estimated though as I had about 50ml come out of the vent but all good to go now for another 30k. When I did it at 90k when I got the car I did it 3 times to get most all of the old fluid out. Fluid was clean as a whistle this time. The magnetic plug however had quite a bit of metal on it.
