 12 oz or .36 Litres. Taken from the manual.

They say 11.4 oz oil and .67 oz moly

Oldtime guzzi guy told me to overfill by a few ounces and the gear lube
will walk up the driveshaft to the u-joint. Done it on my Eldo and T-3.
Every time I've pulled the swingarm, my u-joint was covered with gear
lube. 135,000 miles on the T-3 joint and over 50,000 on the Eldo joint,
both look and feel like new.
In fact, I need to change the boot on the T-3 so I'll take a couple of
jpgs of it when apart.
