I wrote this down for future reference so I wouldn't have to keep pulling off the derby cover for a simple fluid change, as I don't like to make things more difficult than they should be......

On my specific 1200C it took exactly 1 quart.

There is a rubber membrane type gasket behind the primary chain inspection cover, and I've used the same gasket over and over without any problem.
