Has anyone found an actual fill plug torque for an 08 model and later?

Man...they're up to $3.59! (from $2.59). Ouch!

Holds up to 240 ml.

Make sure it's 20 Nm and NOT 20 LBS.

Changed my rear drive fluid at 11.4K miles for the first time. 230 ml came out. I put 200 ml back in. Job took about 20 minutes.

It looks like anywhere from 180ml to 220ml will work for a FD. Guess I'll try about 200ml in my 2009 12GS and we'll see what happens!

The container the dealer sold me was 207ml. I put most of that in and called it good.

Feel better about the color of my FD fluid, looked 'kinda dark but actually does not look much different than the OP's. Sharing for others that might happen upon the thread. It actually looks much more translucent when held up and seen from the top.

I took it out for a ride to warm it up and the fluid flowed very easily. Was debating whether to drain cold but decided to go warm.
