Read the book in your glove box.........

My guess would be about 10 - 12 litres.

Buy 2 5litres and you'll have some spare, usually a little over 8 litres with filter.

Just out of curiosity had a look at workshop manual The TB42 with filter is 8.2L without filter 7.7L
the RB30 With filter is 6.4L without filter 6L
hope this helps ya to the dot :)
