Corsa Z20LET is the same with the gearbox oil drain. Only thing is battery isn't in the engine bay.
Penrite Pro Gear comes in a 2.5 Litre bottle conveniently enough.

So why the change down the line then? Only things I've been able to find on overfilling was as a field remedy for noises from the box. Both my service manuals specify 1.75 liters filling quantity for the F23. And on the electronic one, none of the bulletins indicate a change for the F23.
Yep, TIS states a field remedy for noisy F23 gearboxes by filling it up to 2.35 litres. If your car has been subject to this remedy, your gearbox oil filler bolt is supposed to be marked yellow. Having said that, I would assume that this being issued as a field remedy would make it peace of mind to fill up the gearbox with the full 2.35 litre capacity, so even if your gearbox isn't noisy, it'll be at least on the safe side of things.

After further research it seems that full synthetic oil is a very broad category involving a variety of manufacturing processes, blends and additives. Oil companies use the classification of full synthetic as a sales pitch. It seems we have to do a bit more homework to select the best oil...l am going to try Mobil 1 0W40 next time, but l am still unsure about the composition of this oil. There is a claim that it is often an automotive factory installed oil, perhaps there is something in that at least.
No dipstick, just make sure you let it drain properly for a little while, there is another plug at the back of the gearbox (between gbox and firewall) if you really want to check level, a few people do it and stop once it starts to trickle out of that hole, but iv always just put a full 2.5l bottle in and had no dramas at all
