x20xev sump, g'box oil and diff oil
1) since the vauxhall ecotec block is the same as the c20xe, are the sumps interchangable? looking at my car with the engine in, i think the sump will
need to be shortened. could i buy a shortened sump for a c20xe and fit it right on? or will the oil pick up pipe need to be modified? or should i just
avoid speed bumps? 
2) whats the best oil to have in my type 9 box?
3) as above for my full floating atlas diff? and whats the capacity of a standard atlas diff? to to give a guide as how much oil i'd need for
it
thanks guys, i know you lot know pretty much everything ever

yes,i believe the sumps are interchangeable, unless the oil pickup is different. I haven't checked.

Hypoid EP80 gearbox oil and EP90 final drive. The level is just below the filler hole, can't be more than 2ltr at a guess.

yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

as much as 2 litres?! i guess thats the gearbox. i think the axle will take MUCH more than that  especially at about £10 a litre....
thanks for the offer chris! I'll bear it in mind. i'll keep it standard for now. see how long it lasts
