Final Drive Oil

Hi there.
Are all the R1200GS FD the same?
I believe the FD Oil volume has changed from 220 to 200 to now 180 ml to stop oil seals leaking?

Can anyone confim?
I changed the FD Oil on my recently-bought 2004 model today and 210ml came out so I put 210ml back.

Many thanks Peter

Castrol SAF-XO. If this is not available, then probably Motul Gear 300.

Quoted from "Peter"

180 ml is the correct quantity.

The 180 applied to the 1200 FDs

Has anybody something to say about Shell Transaxle oil? I googled it, but I can not find any much information to it.
