Yep thats right. Case is chock full of gears and shafts so not a lot of room for oil.

You filled it through the shifter hole didn't you?
That's OK as long as you remove the filler plug first... so you don't overfill it.

Actually what happened was I emptied the old oil into a Two litre milk bottle cut open So I could hold the Handle up to the drain hole and I got alot more come out than 0.8 so I thought maybe that that amount might have been wrong...? I pumped it all in the plug just up higher than the bottom drain plug but I know I got a little more than the 0.8 in there..... Shouldn't hurt would it......

I think the 800ml is just to change the oil not to refill a dry case. You'll probably need 900ml to fill from dry.
There is no pressure or vacuum in a transfer so apart from a little extra strain on the seals it shouldn't hurt to have a bit too much oil in.
I never measure how much I put in... I just fill till it overflows from the filler.
